People with disabilities and their families deserve better. The Sinn Féin motion in the Dáil calls for an emergency disability payment and a permanent Cost of Disability Scheme to help meet the real, additional costs faced every day by people with disabilities and their families.

41 delegates for one match? It is not good spending of public funds that have been given to them. @sinn-fein.bsky.social

This morning, myself, @matt-carthy.bsky.social , Cllr Seán Conlon and Cllr Pat Treanor met ambulance workers at St Davnet's. NAS workers deserve safe staffing, fair conditions and a properly funded service. Government and the HSE must act now. @sinn-fein.bsky.social @siptu.bsky.social

Last night I stood with the people of Ireland and voted no confidence. I have no confidence in Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, or this so-called ‘Independent’ government. #NoConfidence #farmers #hauliers #busdriver #costofliving @sinn-fein.bsky.social

I was honoured to attend Easter Commemorations in Chicago, New York and Long Island over Easter Weekend. At Easter, we honour those who went before us. We draw strength from their courage and their vision. We carry forward their mission - as a living struggle.

Two cents off heating oil during an energy crisis? People aren't fooled. Rural Ireland can't change behaviour when there's no public transport. @sinn-fein.bsky.social

Simon Harris says, ‘The Government will take that decision at the next cabinet meeting’. People can’t wait. Ordinary workers and families need the Government to stop making the current situation worse. @sinn-fein.bsky.social @oireachtasnews.bsky.social

Parents are being pressured to pay ‘voluntary’ contributions while their children miss out on diaries, lockers, and extracurricular activities. If schools can’t cover costs, the FSSU is there to help – not parents. @sinn-fein.bsky.social @oireachtasnews.bsky.social #voluntarycontributions #education

Over the past decade, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have operated hand in glove together in government. We have seen the closure of more than 250 post offices, predominantly in rural communities.

Home heating oil and fuel prices have surged in recent days, adding to the huge financial pressure on families. They cannot be left at the mercy of these hikes while the government does nothing.
