For a union at a crossroads, we need to be calling for increased scrutiny - not less.

My first article in the Sunday Independent today! Connolly will represent the people of Ireland - not the party of Simon Harris.

“Our bodies, lives and who we love are being politicised. It feels as if the organisers of the larger Pride marches are the last ones to see this.”

I’ll be on the tonight show in about an hour to discuss Trump’s pause on student visas.

We must resist all attacks on academic freedom.

We need to be providing a real alternative - not a barrage of messaging and false competition.

In today’s Indo, I propose the need for a true coalesced opposition.

🇵🇸 WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT 🇵🇸

On June 4th at 9am, the board of trinity college will be voting on recommendations of the Taskforce set up after the encampment. We need as many of you as we can there. Please come out and support.

This was a really fantastic and inspiring conference - something I do not say lightly! The forward focus on intersectionality and community action is really great to see for the movement

Thank you to LGBT Ireland and all involved <3

I interrupted Simon Harris’ address to the Defending Freedoms conference in Dublin Castle.

The minister raised the work done by Ireland for LGBT people, then I asked “what about the queer people in Gaza we facilitate the murder through Shannon Airport”

When “order” stands at the heart of policy making decisions, our lives and spaces become compartmentalised. Anyone want to do otherwise is then criminalised.

My sea swim lasted 90 seconds not because I'm afraid of the cold, but because of my speed advantage as a trans woman doing a sport x

Chatted about the failed model of trans healthcare in Ireland on Ireland AM this morning 🏳️‍⚧️

As @conorocarroll.bsky.social mentioned, there is no clinical justification for how we treat trans people seeking treatment.

We need a model that follows international best practice.

Spent my day discussing protest rights, Palestine, Serbia and the Occupied Territories Bill with MEP’s, activists and the UN special rapporteur on freedom of peaceful assembly!

If my rights as a trans woman are able to be removed in an instant, yours can too

Columbia University’s treatment of Trinity students must be condemned by the entire higher education sector without apology.

We must not be afraid to challenge the status quo when that status quo is Fascism.

Gaeilge cannot wait for the approval of English and American tourists.

We cannot water down the fundemental pillars of Irish culture to appease international markets and profit margins.

Missing housing targets means nothing if the targets themselves are purposefully shite.

Wrote about granny flats, falling living standards and asking your date if mammy and daddy (in the literal sense) are home - in today’s Indo!
