Summary of this week's Lucan Gazette: Pages 1/2: Sinn Fein blame everybody else for housing crisis. Page 4: Sinn Fein vote to defer much-needed social housing development. @FineGael

Storm surge will be a huge factor for Hurricane #Florence Check out what it might look like with @TWCErikaNavarro:

Mind blown. twitter.com/ZonePhysics/st…

However, Fine Gael's William Lavelle, who voted in favour of the motion, accused Sinn Fein of "crass hypocrisy". @FineGael m.herald.ie/news/decision-…

@josephdelaney @sdublincoco See my separate tweet

Councillors have voted to defer a vote on proceeding with the Kilcarbery masterplan until October. The proposed development seeks to build 975 homes on 72 acres of council lands at Kilcarbery in Clondalkin, Dublin 22 with 294 social housing units provided.

It shows the crass hypocrisy of Sinn Fein that they demand urgent responses to the housing crisis while delaying this scheme. I have not up-to-now subscribed to the views of those who blame councils for the housing crisis. But the decision today had given succour to those views.

@dublinbusnews No thanks. I don't want to waste my time given that I'll only get back the same non-response as you always send back to my constituents and I.

@LucanCouncillor Hi William I have no further information on this so if you would take a moment and submit the details below I will have this investigated for you bit.ly/1UQnvcO

@dublinbusnews where is the 25A/B? 2nd week in row at stop 4633. Definite reduction in frequency & number of buses. What's happening?

Comments by Gemma O’Doherty are offensive disgusting and extremely hurtful in a cheap attempt for publicity she insults my sister and claims Gilligan gang not responsible for Veronica’s murder. With no chance of nomination she decides to promote criminal propaganda shame on her

Why does @rtenews so readily accept the line "Sinn Féin will not change its policy of not formally taking its Westminster seats and it has a mandate from its voters."?? The SF 2017 Westminster manifesto mentioned fighting Brexit dozens of time but didn't refer abstention once!!!

On the Swiss-Italian border. This doesn’t look “unobtrusive” to me. Any border infrastructure is a border and is unacceptable. Brexit has been a step back for the North. A border like this is a leap back in time, unwelcome and unwanted. #wecantgoback #brexit #dubw #noborder

Fantastic oration by former FG TD for #dubw and civil rights champion Austin Currie, at the 96th annual Griffith Collins commemoration in Glasnevin

Ahead of tomorrow's Collins/Griffith Commemoration in Glasnevin Cemetery, here's a piece I wrote for the Sunday Independent two years ago. #CollinsGriffith2018 independent.ie/opinion/analys…

50 years on from the Caledon protest, Austin Currie will deliver the oration at the Collins/Griffith Commemoration - this Sunday at 12noon in Glasnevin Cemetery. All welcome. #1968LongMarch

Looking for recommendations for good holiday reads? Nothing too serious or taxing on the brain- holiday is a holiday after all! #summer #longhaulflight #Ali’swedding 🇿🇦✈️

Why didn't SF vote against a hard Brexit in the Commons last week? SF claim they have a mandate for abstentionism. But in their 2017 'Westminster Election Manifesto' 'Brexit' appears dozens of times. 'Abstention' doesn't appear once! sinnfein.ie/files/2017/201…

SDLP Brexit Spokesperson @ClaireHanna MLA has said that whether misrepresented or not represented at all, the people of Northern Ireland where the real casualties tonight. Read more: sdlp.ie/news/2018/hann…

Can’t believe after today am actually about to write this. There is already a rebellion brewing about voting against govt plan for early recess
