Have you experienced this with your passport application? I've had people contact my office about long waiting times due to issues with the checks.

Support is growing every day across Ireland and internationally for the Garvaghy Road residents. Their right of this community to live peacefully, free from fear and sectarian intimidation, must be protected. The Parade Commission got their decision disastrously wrong.

For two decades, medical card income thresholds for people under 69 have remained the same. As costs continue to rise, eligibility limits need to be reconsidered. Access to healthcare should not become harder as household costs rise. @sinn-fein.bsky.social

20% of scheduled BreastCheck screenings didn't happen last year. 122,334 missed targets over the past three years. 45% of breast cancer surgeries are not happening within the recommended timeframe. These figures are concerning. Women deserve timely access to screening, diagnosis and treatment.

I’m delighted to see that Bus Éireann has been given the go ahead with an expansion of the Monaghan Town bus station. This is something that I have been calling for quite a while. I want to ensure that Monaghan bus station is open to the public during the night.

School should be about learning, not worrying about the associated costs. Between school contributions, digital devices and exam fees, the costs keep adding up for families.

Free contraception is a positive step, but it is not a solution for endometriosis. Too many women are waiting years for a diagnosis or having to travel abroad for specialist care. We need better endometriosis services, not just expanded access to contraception.

The people of Monaghan deserve better. No rail network. A bus station that is closed to the public at night. No hourly bus to Dublin. I'd welcome your feedback 👇
