It's hard not to feel helpless, if not hopeless these days.

But if these times don't politicise people to fight for more, for better, for right.. I don't know what will.

My own little timeline cleanse of me doing my little bit over the last week.

I'm no fan of how exclusive the Seanad Éireann election is. But I'm glad to use that vote today, of all days, for progressive candidates

I'm glad to give my number one vote to Alice Mary Higgins, who's been a great legislator, and to give preferences to Greens and other progressives.

Congratulations Deputy Marie Sherlock 😊

One for Reeling in the Years. I'm thrilled #ge24

Much nicer to watch #ge24 from the couch with a three in one rather than the RDS for twelve hours on my feet 😵‍💫

A great little system all the same.

Last week, Cllr. Philip Sutcliffe, who is a Dublin South Central candidate, was speaking about the "dangers" of immigrants in our city.

Here he is, hand in hand with McGregor, his prime backer and supporter, a danger to women.

Phil Sutcliffe does not belong in Dáil Éireann.

Glad to speak at the Department of Justice youth justice conference today on a collaborative project that I worked on alongside local Gardai.

Got to speak about how we can break down distrust and improve garda-community relations 🌱✌️

The Labour manifesto has a whole section on youth services & young people, which is a major commitment to the sector #GE24

I was glad to be consulted and help shape this policy, particularly my ideas of the national youth audit & supporting youth exiting care🌹👇

Really heartening to speak to so many warm folk in Walkinstown who told me that they voted for me during the local elections 🥰

Glad to go around with our general election candidate Cllr Darragh Moriarty, who'll make a brilliant Labour TD for Dublin South Central🤞
