Tomorrow is my first day as Policy Director for the @SocDems. Can't wait to get started. The most prosperous, inclusive and progressive countries in the world are social democracies. Looking forward to being part of the change we need here in Ireland

@ardnerus @1968Tv This is totally incorrect

@1968Tv This is wrong. They increased the number of countries to 32 in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico that Argentina won. Not in 1998. FYI.

In the 1978 World Cup, we had 16 countries. FIFA changed it for the 1982 World Cup, increasing it to 24 countries. FIFA, for the 1998 World Cup, increased the tournament to 32 countries. Now with the 2026 World Cup on the horizon, they have decided the tournament needs increasing to 48 countries meaning 104 games. And now with the FIFA World Cup being 100 years old in 2030, there is talk of increasing it to a one-off 64-nation tournament. FIFA are slowly devaluing their own tournament! #WorldCup

@PaulCashin_ They weren't far off at all!

They may not do it but been saying it all week that Wicklow had a chance against Dublin. Wlthey have a keeper who scores 2 points from frees fo fun and the game being in Aughrim where every team finds it hard to go to.

@gcooney93 Or maybe it's an example of why teams (like ourselves) should put more effort into the Nations League 🤷🏻‍♂️

That Sweden can fail to win a single game in Q, get a playoff for topping a Nations League group of Slovakia, Estonia, and Azerbaijan, and then beat Ukraine and Poland - neither truly away from home - to qualify for the World Cup is a farce. The Q system is a mess

@DavQuinn Your assertion is not backed up by the data

The Social Democrats as a left-wing party should have some working class support surely? But no, it is nearly all from university graduate types.

@Ontheboldstep @SocDems @LiamQuaide No prob. It's in our Alternative Budget too, and the GE Manifesto from last week, but understand why you'd expect to see it in MH as well, should prob add it

@eamonmurphy83 @SocDems @LiamQuaide Thanks Eamonn

Our mental health policy was launched today by @LiamQuaide, our Cork East general election candidate. Successive governments have failed to properly invest in mental healthcare. Too many people are falling through the cracks of a piecemeal system. socialdemocrats.ie/cllr-liam-quai…

@SocDems @LiamQuaide Am I going blind or have you not included anything about eating disorders?

@fiannafailparty 🚨 Fake news alert 🚨 x.com/SocDems/status… socialdemocrats.ie/our-policies/d…

Fianna Fáil is the only Party to have a Dublin specific manifesto. Our plan for a safer, vibrant Dublin includes: 🟢 1,000 extra Gardaí specifically for Dublin 🟢 A dedicated Public Transport Police 🟢 €250m fund for parks and pitches around Dublin Read our plan here: tinyurl.com/u36wa4s9

@QuigleyEimear @humphreyjones Hi guys. Our education policy will be launched in the next week, date to be confirmed. Doesn't go on the website until launched

@humphreyjones I've been trying to find out what the SocDems policy on education is but I can't find it on their website in their list of policies. There's one on childcare and early years but I can't see any specifically on education.

Another success story for the Social Democrats - a first-time win in South-West Inner City, with Jen Cummins going one better than her 2019 run #LE24

@eamonmurphy83 Yes - thank you

I did a Dublin euros tally: Barry Andrews: 13.2pc Brid Smith: 11.5pc Lynn Boylan: 10pc Ciaran Cuffe: 10pc Clare Daly: 10pc Aodhan Ó Riordáin: 10pc Regina Doherty: 7.5pc Niall Boylan: 7pc Daithí Doolan: 6pc Brendan Ogle: 2.5pc Malachy Steenson: 2.5pc Philip Dwyer: 1.5pc

Canvassed Kilmainham last wk/end. Always a shame to see a nice home boarded up, but a total disgrace in a housing crisis. Govt isn't doing nearly enough to tackle vacancy. A vacancy tax of 0.5% of the value of the house won't motivate anyone to renovate or sell #DerelictIreland

Busy morning, starting with campaign meeting, in @cafe_loaf and then a canvass in kilmainham. Active travel and public realm main topics today. Huge thanks to the campaign team and canvass team for their time, energy and expertise. @social_democrats @jencummins5

This is not shit

@bookmenpod I may have been coaxed around to your way to seeing (reading) things

The sun is shining for Team Jen’s canvass this morning. The team are meeting neighbours around Reuben Street today, please do get in touch if you’d like us to drop by your area or DM us if you have any questions for @jencumminssocdems or would like any issues raised by Tara 1/2

After a couple of weeks summer break team @jencummins5 were back on the #le24 campaign trail yesterday. Thanks to a great canvassing team @liam_cosgrove_ @eamonmurphy83 and Ruaidhrí. If you would like to get involved please dm us! @social_democrats @socdemsdublinsouthcentral

And we are back canvassing for #LE24 after a short summer break. Thanks to a fab canvass team, @Liam_Cosgrove_ @eamonmurphy83 and Ruaidhrí. If you’d like to get involved please DM me. @SocDems @DubSCSocDems

At the @DLRForsa event in #DunLaoghaire yesterday, Cllr. Dave Quinn called on everybody to join the rally this Saturday 29th at 1pm in support of Asylum Seekers and Refugee's in our Community. We hope to see you all there. @DLWelcomes @SocDems #SayNoToHate

@ed_razors72027 Seems I've angered you. Terribly sorry. I didn't block any replies, I dunno why that setting is like that. But sure it hasn't stopped you ranting, so what's the problem?

Tomorrow is my first day as Policy Director for the @SocDems. Can't wait to get started. The most prosperous, inclusive and progressive countries in the world are social democracies. Looking forward to being part of the change we need here in Ireland
