This night 101 years ago British forces ran riot in Cork, burning and looting hundreds of homes and businesses, and terrorising the civilian population. By the end of the night 350+ buildings were razed to the ground and thousands were left homeless & jobless #BurningOfCork #OTD

Governments across these islands should begin preparing now for Irish unity – the latest blog by @DeclanKearneySF anphoblacht.com/contents/28189

Today I addressed an all-Ireland event on tackling climate change. The climate emergency doesn't recognise borders. We must take urgent action as one island and as one planet to protect our environment. Our island can be a global player in the fightback against climate change.

I am astonished, suprised and delighted to be 73 this day. Lá breithe shona domh. 73! Up The Rebels! Its too late to stop now.

OTD 40yrs ago I began my 55th day on hunger strike. At 3pm I told the authorities the HS was over. Thus ended one of the most epic periods of Irish history when 10 men died on HS in the H Blocks. Very proud to have helped them defeat England’s attempt to criminalise our struggle.

40 years today, the Hunger Strike in the H-Blocks of Long Kesh ended after 217 days. Today, republicans from across Belfast gathered at local monuments and commemoration gardens to pay tribute to all of our comrades who paid the ultimate sacrifice in Ireland's freedom struggle.

According to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil ministers "one person's rent is another person's income" and " the property market is not out of control" . What planet are these men living on? 🚀🪐 – @MaryLouMcDonald #Dáil #HousingCrisis

1. At a time when data centre proliferation threatens the security of our electricity supply, the Finance Minister can't clarify the total value of tax reliefs that have been gifted to companies through capital allowances claimed against their data centre investment...

I welcome the continued progress of my Small Scale Green Energy Bill. It has now passed its second reading in the Assembly. My Bill will make it compulsory for large electricity providers to pay a set price for the electricity they get from private small scale green generators.

The bedroom tax must be binned. Sinn Féin Minister @DeirdreHargey has legislation prepared and ready to go to ensure this. Binning this unjust Tory tax will keep money in the pockets of working and low-income families. I would encourage other parties to support this proposal.

Leadership from @DeirdreHargey on the ground around the Holylands/Lwr Ormeau area; listening to residents, determined to bring about change.

Council agreed for a new air show to ‘celebrate’ the Queens Jubilee in 2022 last night. No budget set in the report but underlying reports estimate between 500k-750k. 1-2% rates. Unionism handing out blank cheques willy-nilly again for a long null&void British empire.

As a Local MLA and DfC Minister i have created the strategic partnership group to tackle issues of anti social behaviour and poor infrastructure. I’m determined change the area by tackling issues such as HMO regulations , standards for safe housing and ensuring community safety.

Speaking on @BBCRadio4 #AnyQuestions @DeclanKearneySF told the DUP leader that his dishonesty over the Protocol was matched only by his recklessness in threatening power sharing in the north.
