Probably, because you’ve been asleep for last 5 yrs. while I’ve been the most active MEP at home & abroad. And, I’ve handed €1m back to the EP & have donated my €35k teachers pension back to the State. Go find another victim, Sir !.

Does the #Dáil still need to meet at the #ConventionCentre ? It costs €25,000 a day. @Europarl_EN meets every week in it’s own building in #Brussels & with proper adherence to #COVID19 guidelines there have been no issues. There are 705 MEP’s. Time to go back to Kildare St. ?

Very saddened to hear about the passing of my good friend and former Taoiseach John Bruton. My heart goes out to his family. He was a gentleman and one of the best politicians our country has had. May he rest in peace.

I am calling for Russian & Belarusian athletes to be banned from the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sports should not be used as a political weapon by aggressor states.

Whoever invented the terms ‘wet’ pubs & ‘gastro’ pubs, should be barred for life. Wet depicts water dripping from a leaking roof, onto your head & into your pint! & gastro suggests the need for a clear run to the loo!The terms would drive you to drink -in a nice ‘bar’,of course!.

The murder of Sean Brown shocked all @officialgaa people to the core . I visited the club when I was Uachtarán CLG & saw the gates Sean was locking when he was so cowardly set upon by the thugs who murdered him .Truth must come out .Family deserve answers .

Tonight “Murder of a GAA Chairman” airs on @RTEOne at 9:35pm. It examines the investigation into the shocking murder of @BellaghyGAC chairman Sean Brown in May 1997; and how the Brown family has been left campaigning for truth behind unanswered questions.

Irish has been used for the first time to write law in the European Parliament. The first ever amendment in Irish was submitted by Seán Kelly MEP. The amendment stresses the importance of SMEs and including them in multilateral trade negotiations.

5 years ago I said that An Bord Pleanála was not fit for purpose, now things are worse than ever. Ireland is supposed to accelerating our energy transition, yet no wind farm has been approved in over a year and no decisions were made within the 18 week statutory timeline.🧵 1/4
