Mary Lou would actually make you laugh. The entitlement of doing nothing for two weeks, then waltzing into the centre of the media bandwagon today just epitomizes her as a politician. Nowhere to be seen during the hard days, but dangle a microphone & she'll appear like a genie..

Simon's anger and upset here is genuinely palpable. You can say what you want about him but there can be no denial that he is a passionate legislator and he fights tooth and nail for meaningful and progressive legislation surrounding reproductive rights. Well done Minister!

This from a crew who refuse to sit in two of the Parliaments they were elected to yet still claim every penny they can? Right. 👀

“Embrace difference as a badge if honour”. Lovely words from Ryan Tubridy this evening. Just accept people, take them for what they are. It costs nothing out of your day, but it could make theirs. #latelate #LateLateShow

This is the most important election of the decade, and I would like to respectfully ask that you put your faith in me as the YFG Irish Election Ride because it would annoy both the twitter provos, and the hard right in equal measure. Go raibh maith agaibh.

Over the past short while I have come to know @MariaWalshEU quite well & understand her passion for Europe. To say I'm delighted to see her elected today is a fierce understatement. I couldn't possibly think of anyone better to join @MaireadMcGMEP #EP2019 @FineGael @yfg @EPP_IE

People have been flooding my DMs with kind words about Pat from all Parties & none since 9/2, which just goes to show the kind of diplomatic gentleman he is. It has been the honour of my life to work with him - and learn from him. I wish @PatBreen1 a long and happy retirement.

Gay, male, & I vote Fine Gael. Also campaigner for Trans rights, repealing the 8th & generally 1 of the most liberal centrists you'll meet.

I've said it since the beginning and I'm saying it again now. Conor McGregor isn't a national treasure, he's a thundering national disgrace. Mammies, please find better heroes for your little boys.

You know what folks, you can say a lot about @yfg but I'll tell you something, we're well able to stand up & call out wrongdoing from our own public reps – today is no different. Discussions in YFG all day have been dominated by last night's vote and what we'll do about it. (1/2)

Thanks again to Tánaiste @LeoVaradkar for taking the time to engage with members of @FineGael in Clare this evening. I was grateful to have the opportunity to question the Tánaiste on the progression of a Primary Care Centre for Kilrush. @yfg @ClareChampion @ClareEcho @ClareFM

I'm delighted that Cabinet has today approved the National Broadband Plan. Well done to @FineGael & @RichardbrutonTD for delivering largest single Govt investment in Rural Ireland since rural electrification. Connecting 96% landmass. True to our value of Equality of Opportunity.

Fine Gael have shown phenomenal leadership on Brexit. Leo V, Simon Coveney, & Helen McEntee have done their very best to cushion Ireland from the worst or Brexit, and I'm proud of the work they've done. As Heather said, why would you bring on Junior B at ½ time #VMTVBigDebate

Congratulations to the eminently qualified @MaireadMcGMEP on her nomination to be Ireland's next European Commissioner. If she was selected by @vonderleyen it would be a great example to little girls across this island that they can be anything they want to. #girlpower 💪

Know them. Remember their faces. Question them on this photograph and hold them to account. Fianna Fáil does not care about women. Don't make the mistakes of the past and don't vote for them at the next election. For shame. #RepealThe8th #Together4Yes

His comments disgusting & disgraceful. They're not the views to which I or any decent Fine Gael member subscribe. We are a Party of values, among which are; Hope, Security, Integrity, & Equality of Opportunity. What this Cllr has said directly contradicts those values. Shame 2/2

There are no words to describe the feeling of today. Pat Breen has been an incredibly hardworking TD serving Clare for 18 years. For me, this loss is personal. Pat taught me everything I know about politics. It has been the honour of my life to work with him. (1/2) @PatBreen1

Wonderful news to wake up to this morning that #Taiwan has made same sex marriage legal, the first Asian country to do so. When people can love fully and don't have to conceal themselves, they will be the best version of themselves. Congratulations Taiwan 💙 #LoveWins

Fianna Fáil having a candidate as incredible and electable as Tiernan Brady and then opting for the guy who was CEO of GOAL during the scandal and a Minister in Cowen's failed Govt is the most Fianna Fáil thing ever. Then again, at least it's not Hanafin. #EE19 #Fiannaf áil

I want to commend Jean McConville's sons for their open and honest interview on #CBLive tonight. Yet another reason why we should never support Sinn Féin, the people who stood over these atrocities, the murder of innocents

Thanks to @thepmanofficial for helping me to tell my story in this week's @ClareEcho — which is free now all over Clare. Brian Stanley & I both tweeted stupid things in 2017. Difference is I apologised (and was followed). True leadership is admitting when you're wrong. #SpinFein
