Tell me about the company you keep without telling me...

Representatives from Ireland’s 3 Regional Assemblies met the Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs during #EURegionsWeek to discuss EU funding, Cohesion Policy & empowering regions.🇪🇺🤝Strengthening Ireland’s regions through European investment #RegionalDevelopment #EMRA

@paddymacc1 Why nothing else? If you're going to spoil it you can stick what you like down.

Voting for Jim Gavin will mean Fianna Fáil can recoup the money they spent on his campaign and nothing else. #SpoilTheVote25 by placing an X across the ballot paper and nothing else.

@NiallMurphy15 So if she understands the impossibility of cancelling an election, she's just doing it for publicity? Wish she'd take her loss with mire humility.

@Robbie_Power You obviously didn’t read my reply Rob. Tbf I would say Maria has a far better understanding than both you & I. I don’t know one FF representative that has an understanding of fair procedures under the constitution. Do you?

Ironically, the best opportunity for Maria Steen fans or #spoilthevote advocates to achieve their desired outcome is to vote for Jim Gavin irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…

@NiallMurphy15 Same. I wouldn't be a fan either. The fact that a barrister doesnt understand the legalities around the election is also further cause for concern.

@Robbie_Power It is not Maria steen fan. That is childish. We just wanted a choice & let the people decide. FF have absolutely made a mockery of this election & are paying a high price. You or anyone else in FF are hardly in a position to try & throw smart comments at others.

@MartinMurphy72 It's not that, I promise. Go on, give him a scratch.

@Robbie_Power And hand FF their election expenses back Eh no … You can take the hit Teach you lot a lesson .

Key takeaways so far in the #presidentialdebate - Bad things are wrong - The President can be a positive force #TonightVMTV

@mahony_colin I don't believe in the "ah sure give 'em a chance" mantra going around. If their beliefs or capacity are not what I want to see in a President I won't be supporting them.

@Robbie_Power Fair enough. So you don’t believe in people getting a chance to run for president unless they align with your way of thinking? Or how u are told to think by Michael. I wasn’t expecting it from M Healy Rae. But his statement was perfectly put. U should take a look

Kildare County Council has not endorsed any candidate for #aras2025 A motion to nominate Maria Steen has fallen after Cllr Tom McDonnell failed to attend the meeting to propose his own motion.

@mahony_colin I think it's shocking, of course. It's not true to say the party have said nothing, but what can they say when a family has paid the highest price for a system thats not working for sick children. I hope it's a catalyst for change, but it shouldn't have gotten to such a state.

@Robbie_Power To see her in the running. You will come and spout anything to get a vote. Once you are in. Ye do feck all. Can I ask you. What’s your opinion on #JusticeForHarvey and ur opinion on why ur party have said nothing?

@mahony_colin If anyone ever asked me a question at the door that was connected to Maria Steen's values, I think they'd very quickly see we're not aligned. I am under no obligation to support the candidacy of anyone, particularly someone whose views are contrary to mine.

@Robbie_Power Because when the likes of you knock on my door. You tell me that you will be there to represent me and the people of our area. Regardless of our political affiliation. Then you won’t even give an independent like Maria a chance to run for president. Where I know many that want

@mahony_colin Genuinely interested to know why?

@Robbie_Power I will be making sure I vote for new candidates in the next coco elections.

@Revolution_IRL Struggling to meet your outrage quota by eow?

@Robbie_Power And typical FF, paid by someone else.

50 years ago the Aga Khan commissioned Newbridge man Frank Ahern to make him a coat. Frank worked next door to my grandad & suggested there was enough material to make a second coat. So here it is, a two-of-kind coat, one belonging to a billionaire the other to a butcher.

Blow softened.

@JackKel84 @sinnfeinireland @Fiona_Kildare @fiannafailparty Which election are you watching Jack?!

@Robbie_Power Not surprising since it was a @sinnfeinireland vote and she’s no longer in the party. But at least there’s relief that @Fiona_Kildare won’t get elected. @fiannafailparty wouldn’t have anyone if it wasn’t for their guaranteed seat there.

Remarkable performance by former SF TD Patricia Ryan who is projected to lose over 9,300 or >95% of her vote in one election cycle. #Election2024 #kildaresouth
