My detractors cannot wrap their head around it: I am not paid by anyone for my work on Palestine, not even the UN. Special Rapporteurs serve pro bono. And I have so much fun at doing what I do, you know why? Because I despise bullies, mafias and apartheid. It is in my DNA, and I will fight all three happily till my last breath. Now, minions, get a life.

@SorchaEastwood I've no doubt these comments are unsettling, though I truly hope you know more people are with you than against you. Your consistent courage and grit are greater than the sum of these comments.

Compilations of my comments the last 12 hours. I make no apologies for sharing; these are not my words- why should I hide away under it and be ashamed or humilated- that is exactly what they want. And we wonder why more women don't get involved in public life or why it is so dangerous for us.
@SaraONeillArt We had the same or similar decorations growing up which wasn't yesterday I can tell you 🙈 There's mad Tinkerbell vibes in that pic there 🧚 🤣
My da loves his Christmas decorations but he had surgery a few weeks ago & my ma has banned him from ladders. So this is how I’ve spent this evening. He reckons I’m not as nimble as him on a ladder but I pointed out he doesn’t do this in a skirt & his ma’s slippers.
Thirteen years ago Micheál Martin called on Michael Lowry to resign from the Dáil after our highest from of public inquiry found his actions to be "profoundly corrupt" to a "breathtaking degree".
