Ten years after the sod was turned, Cork still has no Event Centre.
Just a derelict site and a bridge to nowhere in the heart of the city.
Cork deserves delivery, not another decade of broken promises.

Everything Dan Ennis does, he does it with enormous heart. 💜 Proud every day to call him a friend, even prouder still to see the work he does across the community.
Politics needs more people like Daniel at the highest levels- Let’s move mountains to see him win the bye-election in Dublin Central. 💜

Maria Steen was on RTÉ Radio 1, the country’s most listened to radio station, this morning lamenting the lack of conservative voices in our national media.
She then read from an article by Brenda Power, published in the most widely read national newspaper.
Make it make sense!

In 2019, a policy for improving Ireland's public dental service was published.
Yet seven years later, there's no implementation plan.
Even the priority actions in the policy – set to be completed by 2022 – are now not due for completion until 2029.
Is it any wonder dental services are in crisis?

The crisis in public dental services has continued to deepen under this govt.
Seven years on from publication of the National Oral Health Policy, we are still waiting on an implementation plan.

Pádraig Rice: Programme for Government is just a stale rehash of what went before
We will have a new government by tonight, but their programme for the next five years is unlikely to deliver the transformative changes that are urgently required

This week I signed the Roll of Members at Leinster House to officially become a member of the 34th Dáil.
Thanks to the Clerk of the Dáil and all the staff in Leinster House for the warm welcome back.
I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in to this new role as a TD for Cork South Central.
