Michelle Gildernew is MP for Fermanagh and South Tyrone

@SuzyJourno Great piece (as usual) Suzanne.

@gildernewm truly is a class act. I fondly remember her making time to speak with myself and friends - as young politics enthusiasts - at election counts through the years.

Wishing Michelle and her family all the best for the next chapter!

"Despite the poise with which Gildernew is responding to the situation, her axing will have caused her immense private pain."

What’s next for @gildernewm ❓

“I have a few other opportunities, including in the media that I can’t talk about right now, so I’ve had offers and am ready for a new chapter” @irish_news

What an absolute legend @gildernewm is.

One of the best of the best.

I just know she will continue to do great things across Ireland in the years to come

Andor star Denise Gough proves again: the Irish don’t stay silent. 🍀

Breaking:🚨Over 200 Palestinians were killed or injured this morning when an Israeli tank opened fire on a crowd waiting for food aid.
Nader Hospital is overwhelmed with the dead and wounded.
Another heartbreaking day.
Dr. Rosie reports again from Gaza.

We are now hearing the loudest explosions from Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City—more intense than anything we’ve experienced since the war began.

Do I condone the taking of hostages?

No.

But I also don’t condone siege warfare, white phosphorus, mass graves, or bombing refugee camps.

The difference is: I don’t have selective outrage.

You keep repeating, "Hamas should never have taken them."

But let me ask you:

Go n-éirí le Paddy McDonald as he signs off on a stellar career. A stalwart of Sinn Féin & the Irish Republican cause, Paddy’s contribution to the cause has been tremendous.

Go raibh maith agat, Paddy. From your comrádaithe & cairde i gComhairle Ceantair an Chabháin 👏🇮🇪

Police have arrested a member of rap group Kneecap on terrorism charges.

I have found video evidence of Israeli soldiers with British citizenship who the police should be looking into instead.

It takes a twisted sense of humour to charge someone for displaying a terrorist flag and then schedule their court appearance for mid summer in Belfast where the flags of terrorist organisations (with whom parts of the British state colluded in crimes) will bedeck the streets...

The EU must act now to ensure all carers, paid and unpaid, get the fair pay and conditions they deserve.

He would have been 62 years old today

My first thoughts are with Anu’s loved ones as they attempt to come to terms with her tragic passing.

Anu, a health worker who devoted her life to caring for others, attempted to raise the alarm on a gang who was beating up an individual in Newry…

Kathleen Funchion MEP raises government’s abysmal housing record at EU level

"The EU needs to develop policies and rules that do not punish investment in housing, but instead support it."



@Kathleensf1

One time, I pulled my resident aside after a tough day in regional anesthesia

I asked the same first question I always ask when a trainee is struggling,

“How are you doing? How are things at home?”

The answer is usually, “I’m fine”

This time the answer was “I have cancer”

Eoin O’Broin is one of the few who comes across as actually understanding the crisis & having a well-conceived plan to address it. Always easier said than done, but by that measure I’d say many would like to see him have a chance to put it into action.

It speaks volumes that the Dublin establishment are more annoyed by Sinn Féin having a credible housing plan than FF & FG’s failure to address the housing crisis during the most opulent period in the history of the modern Irish state #rtept

.@PaulMaskeyMP & myself were in Westminster today meeting with British govt Minister Alex Norris urging him to provide clarity around funding for our amazing local organisations.

These groups are the backbone of our communities & carry out fantastic work to support young people,…

Sinn Féin’s Housing Plan is annoying all the right people.
Don’t believe those who are happy for the housing crisis to continue. See for yourself how a new government can ensure that everyone can access an affordable home http://www.sinnfein.ie

30 years later the peace process continues. An end to the Union and an all Ireland settlement is possible. It must be inclusive, fair & belong to everyone. The past is passed. So thankfully is the war. Against all the odds the peace strategy delivered

Tomorrow we will launch A Home of Your Own, Sinn Féin’s alternative housing plan.

It’s comprehensive, detailed & fully costed.

It’s focus is on delivering affordable homes & bringing home ownership back into reach of working people.
