The Deposit Return Scheme has to be the most idiotic thing ever. I recycled everything at no cost, now I have to bring bottles back & recycling bin charges are going up?? Customers warned bin charges to rise as bottle return scheme hits waste firm profits
Another Father’s Day without Dad. He was shamefully taken from us by
@sinnfeinireland
/IRA, these are the never ending consequences of the terrorism that
@sinnfeinireland
will tell us to “move on” from. Well it’s kind of hard to move on when he is not here on days like today!
According to the priest “all of us have sinned greatly”, well Father all of us haven’t murdered Gardaí, shot Prison Officers or stabbed their wives. Funeral of Garda killer Pearse McCauley takes place in Tyrone
Threatening murder or violence against somebody is heinous & McDonald is right to report it to Gardaí, however members of her party actually carried out the threat to murder my Dad & I have been subjected to online abuse from her followers for years. I’ll leave it at that…
Last night a threat to kill me was issued online. The individual said he would shoot me dead.
This represents an escalation of targeted online abuse directed at me over the last year. It is totally unacceptable.
I have reported this to An Garda Síochána.
Ironically, this
Provo SF/IRA propaganda is unreal, they choose to forget their real bullets used to murder my Dad, their real bombs used in Warrington to murder children etc etc etc, if we are to talk War Crimes then I think the decent people of Ireland know where to begin….
#Hypocrisy
Remembering Garda Jerry McCabe today, murdered at the hands of
@sinnfeinireland
/IRA terrorists. A gentle reminder of when you go to vote today that
@sinnfeinireland
politicians including the leadership campaigned for his murderer’s early release.

This is extraordinary beyond belief, Provo SF MPs don’t get a salary from British tax payer but are paid a wage by Provo SF but are refusing to disclose how much. The public have a right to know, if this was any other political party SF angry Pearse would be demanding to know.
Sinn Fein President Mary Lou McDonald says it is wrong to “seize on tragedies and hurts of the past to try and derail or challenge a candidate”

This day 42 years ago – 7 August 1979 – Eamon Ryan, 32, was shot dead by members of the Provisional IRA during a bank robbery in Tramore, Co Waterford.
The getaway driver on the day, Bill Hayes, was given an award at Le Chéile 2011 by Sinn Féin, which provoked controversy.
It’s time for a root & branch review of Garda Ops in these situations. Public order unit takes 5 hours to deploy, no transport to take prisoners, no top cover Chopper, no K9 unit. The brave Gardaí on the frontline here deserve better!

On the road to Belfast for the

event. It’s going to be a great conversation. These are the years in which the journey towards reunification comes to its conclusion and we need to prepare. Hope to see you there!
The individual involved in this case of alleged abuse of Ciarán Cannon was also reported by me to Gardaí in 2016 for abuse on social media. The individual is a SF Director of Elections.
There is a clear pattern emerging of politicians leaving due to toxic abuse.The Provo boot boys have been the leaders of this toxic targeting & there needs to be something done about it.
Kieran Doherty TD died forty-three years ago today.
He was one of ten brave volunteers who laid down their lives on hunger strike in 1981.
Their cause was the freedom and unity of Ireland, a cause we continue to pursue today.
While on hunger strike, Kieran was elected to

For decades the family of solicitor Pat Finucane has led a dignified campaign for truth and justice, seeking a public inquiry into his murder.
I have written to An Taoiseach urging him to press the case for a public inquiry when he meets the British Prime Minister today.
1/2 As somebody who has always supported the right of Palestine to be granted Statehood, I think the recognition of same by Ireland is misjudged in the current context as gives the appearance of support for terrorist Hamas who still hold civilian hostages.
Honoured to be asked to speak at the unveiling of a memorial to Spanish Prison Officers who were murdered by ETA. We must honour all those who stood firm in the face of terrorism

Helen, I’m so sorry for your loss, I worked with Derek for a good number of years & he gave me one of the funniest memories of my working life. A character if ever there was one.
Another Provo SLAPP case has been dismissed. The ongoing attempts by Provo movement to shut down debate & neutralise those who highlight their murderous campaign I’d back firing on them.

My solicitor tells me that Gerry Kelly's libel case against me for saying that he shot a prison officer in the head has now been struck out and he has paid all my legal costs.
Great to see Brian Cowen looking so well. As he says vote the entire

In framing the terrorism in the post cease fire language as “combatants” or “former combatants” he is technically also framing the victims as “combatants” as combat takes two. My Dad was not a combatant, he never heals a gun in his life…….
Peter Sheridan, Commissioner for Investigations of the self-proclaimed "Independent" Commission for Reconciliation & Information Recovery, "with the powers and privileges of a constable" is unable to utter the word "terrorist", preferring "combatant".
Terrible news for this man’s family. There needs to be a root & branch review of policing. The biggest deterrent is more visible Gardaí on the ground & this is just not a Dublin problem. Canadian tourist assaulted in Dublin dies in hospital
2/2 it is not acceptable that a victim of the IRA murder campaign should witness this when out for an evening attending what was otherwise a brilliant event. The organisers have responsibility for the bands they hire &

who provide funding need to ensure this stops
Fascism = Controlling communities, punishment squads, assassinating opponents, using rape as a weapon, sectarianism, totalitarianism. I’m against fascism especially SF/IRA fascism….

1/2The Ballinamore Festival Committee should hang their heads in shame following their decision to ignore David Kelly’s letter asking that the parade in honour of terrorist John Joe McGirl is removed from the festival. McGirl was a terrorist who aided the murders of David’s dad.
40 yrs ago today IRA shot my Dad, denied it for 30 Yrs until we forced them to admit it. The Gardaí claim they don’t know who did it, yet they had potential DNA evidence from a motorbike helmet which they “lost” & also had info that could have led to justice for Dad.

This unethical sound bite doesn’t take into account the long term effects of cannabis use. The cost of treating cannabis addicts with mental health & other health issues will be enormous. But hey Ming let’s just ignore that so you can get the sound bite off

Another day another look at Shinnernomics, here they claim they will decrease rents & stop rent increases for 3 years. What he won’t tell you is the effect this will have, landlords will just sell up & the renter will be on the street. Like all SF policies no joined up thinking
Tackling the cost of living crisis is a key priority for Sinn Féin.
We recognise that local authorities can play an active role in reducing the burden on workers, families, & communities.

Sheila Stack, widowed by SF/IRA at 39, raised her 3 sons & lived with the consequences of what you have described as a justified campaign. Members of your party refuse to answer questions on this murder. So really your tweet is very hypocritical & hurtful.
