Enjoyed @AyoCaesar’s Minority Rule. It’s thoughtful, engaging & well written. Even when I find it’s analysis unconvincing it’s still thought provoking. @BloomsburyBooks

Two takeaways from this rather bizarre article. @davidmcw has a very poor grasp of Marx & Marxism and an even poorer grasp of Sinn Féin housing policy. But when your bar is late night Dalkey dinner party conversation then who needs facts or informed opinion!

🇮🇪 Arbour Hill - the final resting place of the leaders of the Easter Rising. This sacred place echoes with our rebel history as the future calls out. How will we answer that call? By finishing the journey to a United Ireland. By reaching the Republic envisaged by the proclamation of 1916.

Sinn Féin seeks recall of Dáil as fuel crisis deepens – @MaryLouMcDonald "Workers, families and key sectors of our economy are under huge pressure and there is silence from the government." sinnfein.ie/news/sinn-fein…

Really enjoyed Alon Shulman’s The Second Summer of Love. A compelling oral history of the origins & rise of England’s acid house music scene & its impact on global dance culture. @bonnierbooks_uk

Galway West TD Mairéad Farrell has hit out at property speculators, sitting on buildings that can be lived in during a housing crisis, likening them to hoarding food during a famine advertiser.ie/galway/article…

Beds-in-sheds debacle gets worse: Renters will have absolutely no rights under Government’s proposal – @EOBroin sinnfein.ie/news/beds-in-s…

This year marks 100 years since the creation of the Easter Lily by Cumann na mBan. For generations, Irish Republicans have worn it in honour of the 1916 Easter Rising and all those who gave everything for Irish freedom. In this Easter Lily centenary year, we recommit ourselves to achieving the promise of the Proclamation - to build a Republic that is united, equal and free. Wear your Easter Lily with pride.

So the beds-in-sheds debacle gets even worse… The renters will be licensees not tenants with no rights & no recourse to the @RTBinfo @ThresholdIRE @CatuIreland

This government wants you to believe it's normal that over 17,000 people, including nearly 5,500 children, are now homeless. This didn’t just happen. It’s the direct result of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s choices - driving up rents, letting evictions soar, stripping supports away from families who needed them most. The solutions are clear: ban rent increases, stop no-fault evictions, and build homes people desperately need. Sinn Féin will continue to fight to make housing affordable.

A really important article from @frankmcdonald60 on @DubCityCouncil proposal for Wood Quay & Camden Yard. He makes a compelling case to use Camden Yard for social & affordable homes while retrofitting the civic offices & keeping them where they are. irishtimes.com/culture/art/20…

The Government is making the homeless crisis worse.🤬 They are actively pushing up evictions & rents.📈 There are solutions but FF/FG don’t have the political will to implement them.🙄 Read my @IrishMailSunday op-ed 👇
