J’member (in early 2024) when @lukemingflanagan.bsky.social warned everyone that this was the direction of travel with the nature restoration bill?

If only there had been a western RTE correspondent to highlight my work on blocking MERCOSUR for the last 11 and a half years. Someone who gave a damn about farmers and showed an interest.

The @left.eu inspired iniatiative to send the proposed #MERCOSUR agreement to the ECJ has just succeeded by 334 votes to 324 votes in the EU Parliament. A great victory for farmers and the Left. Other will try to take credit for it but the truth is the truth. We led. Others followed.

The Left in the European Parliament @left.eu · 21/01/2026
🔴 VICTORY! The European Parliament has voted for The Left's request to refer the Mercosur agreement to the ECJ. A blow to this treaty, which is destructive to agriculture, the climate, and health. "A great victory for farmers. A great victory for the Left" - @lukemingflanagan.bsky.social

Tough year for art sales and I depend solely on it for a living, so if you like anything I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for friends or family. If you hate what I do, I'd appreciate if you'd keep me in mind when buying gifts for enemies or nemeses.

After 25 years serving as Donegal’s Independent voice, the people have spoken. Thank you to my amazing team, my family and everyone who supported me. While this chapter closes, my commitment to our communities remains. Thank you for the privilege of serving as your TD.

Can an alternative government deliver on housing, health and disability services? No one can say for definite. People have been let down so often. We do, however, know that this government hasn't and never will deliver. So you know what to do. #VoteLeftTransferLeft

Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t. If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.

We can change the destiny of this country; so that people can access healthcare, housing, and people with disabilities can access services, etc. This can only be done by ending 100 years of FG & FF. Tommorow I will be voting No.1 Andrew Mannion and No.2 Claire Kerrane.

Thanks very much to @lukemingflanagan.bsky.social for giving his endorsement for the Dáil. We need to kick out FF&FG and take on the corporate interests they represent. If elected again, I will continue to be a voice for the oppressed and hold those in power to account!✊ #KeepPaulinTheDáil #ge24

We need a left government that'll take transformative action. We need to take on the interests of those who profit from the crises we face. We need a left government that governs in the interest of ordinary people, not in the interests of the few profiting from people's misery!

Heading to Strasbourg to vote down Ursula von der Leyen, commission designate. Anyone who supports Von Der Leyen is supporting genocide in Palestine. They're also supporting a commission hell bent on signing up to MERCOSUR. Shame on Irish MEPs who support this.

Watch out for sheep in wolves clothing this election! Independent Ireland like to present themselves as a party that will stand up to the establishment. The reality is that they are just more of the same. They vote with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, and then blame migration for the results. #ge24
