Today, my thoughts are with the family and friends of Natalie McNally. Natalie was a beautiful and talented young woman with her whole life ahead of her. Her life was cruelly taken in the most monstrous and grotesque way. I send my love and support to her parents Bernie and Noel, and to all Natalie’s family and friends . Their strength, courage, and resilience over the past few years has been extraordinary and an inspiration for so many. Through unimaginable circumstances, they have become powerful advocates for ending violence against women and girls. They have ensured that Natalie’s spirit, her kindness, and everything she brought this world continued to shine in the darkest of moments. No family should ever go through what the McNally’s have. We must do all we can to end violence against women and girls.

❤️ Thinking of Natalie McNally tonight. My heart goes out to Natalie’s family and friends. Another precious life stolen. We need to end violence against women and girls. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

A question not being asked enough:

First Minister Michelle O’Neill celebrated St Patrick’s Day with a very warm welcome from the rural community of Kinturk on the shores of Lough Neagh as she joined them at their Big Breakfast. The First Minister said St Patrick’s Day is celebrated across the world and brings communities together, adding that it was great to spend the morning in Kinturk and experience first-hand the warmth, pride and strong sense of community.

US Director of Counterterrorism breaks from Trump administration ⬇️ “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel."

“Mummy will you draw St. Patrick for me?” An artist I am not. But a proud Irish woman I am. Happy St. Patrick’s Day one and all ☘️

This shows a poor understanding of the actual workings of a school. Our learning assistants (they support the learning not the classroom) perform multiple roles with multiple pupils on any given school day. Ambiguous wording won’t dress this up.

@C_Fitz_ It also shows how out of touch some are with the reality of a working school. Few learning assistants (because they assist the learning not the classroom) perform just one role with one pupil. Most multi task throughout the day.

The tone of this statement is wild.

If Keir Starmer was serious about supporting workers & families with energy costs, he would have brought forward proper support today. Instead, the package announced could mean just £35 for households reliant on home heating oil. That is a slap in the face to struggling families. Sinn Féin has met the British government to press for proper support for all families struggling with energy bills, & we will continue to make that case directly.

Comhghairdeas to Kerry’s Jessie Buckley who has made history, becoming the first Irish woman to win the Oscar for Best Actress. A remarkable achievement and a proud day for Ireland. Maith thú Jessie 🇮🇪👏🏻

What a comeback! The dream is alive. The day saved by a good ole @TirnanOgPdown man 🧡🤍❤️ #ArmaghGAA

I’ve just spoken with the Energy Minister @martinmccluskey about support for those impacted by rising oil prices. It’s essential that any assistance is meaningful and reaches the people who need it most. I made clear the importance of continuing to work with me and the

Read my latest blog. “The prospect of achieving Irish unity is now firmly on the political horizon. It’s this reality which is driving the increasing arrogance, negativity & confrontational approach of the DUP, & others in political unionism.”
