It is really sad that families of victims of IRA murders and atrocities seem to only ever get apologies from @sinnfeinireland if the issue is going to cause electoral damage.If they claim to be different now, they should stop being IRA apologists and apologize to IRA victims

Breege Quinn is a pillar of strength and integrity. Her family deserves justice for Paul. Conor Murphy needs to apologise and give the names of the IRA men he spoke to in Cullyhanna to the PSNI and Gardai.

Is this the first of a series of apologies Sinn Fein are about to issue ? If so I have a list ? Starting with their denial of any Provisional IRA involvement in the killing of Det Garda Gerry McCabe ? Then the celebration of the release of his killers,

Mary Lou’s biggest mistake ? Participating in tonight’s debate ! Found out ! Micheal good performance Wiley debater and Leo sting on facts and at last showed a bit of steel.

My sense so far is that Mary Lou has had a difficult night - dished out a few punches that landed for sure, but has shipped some damage on a few subjects, Paul Quinn most notably.

Miriam O'Callaghan lands big KO on Mary Lou Mind you it was about the North so … Not a good night for Mary Lou. and there's Sean Dorgan saying i thought Micheal performed extraordinarily well. There's a shock.

Sinn Féin’s core voters don’t care about Paul Quinn having every bone in his body broken by Provisional IRA thugs, to the extent that his mother couldn’t put rosary beads on what was left of his hands. The question is whether the 18% undecided care. #rtept #LeadersDebate #GE2020

Bad moments for MM and LV on Bertie and on Dara Murphy. But a lot worse for ML on Paul Quinn

This is a crucial moment for Mary Lou McDonald. Conor Murphy said that Paul Quinn was involved in smuggling and criminality. O'Callaghan has located the quote. The problem for Mary Lou here is that she has said that Conor Murphy never said that.

Mansplaining is when a man explains a woman's expertise to her. It is not, however, everytime a women and a man engage in heated debate. #LeadersDebate

Mary Lou concerned about the people living in the 2 up & 2 down... so concerned that she lives in a house valued just under 1 million in Cabra.....#rtept

Think Leo is doing well, if he and his party performed more regularly like this their numbers would not be in doldrums. Michéal doing OK, but no better than usual, he is suited to this format. Mary Lou disappointing, genuinely thought she'd be stronger tonight. #rtept #GE2020

For a party leader who’s supposed to be the revolutionary change maker, Mary Lou McDonald is sounding most like the traditional politician impossible to get a straight answer on the Special Criminal Court and going into government worth FF/FG #LeadersDebate

(1/2) @MaryLouMcDonald is trying to make our struggle for truth and justice go away today by saying we should meet with SF. We have been asking for Conor Murphy to withdraw the 'criminal fued' slur for 13 years. Sinn Fein needs to withdraw this publicly, and Murphy should provide

FG have not provided 1 extra euro in their manifesto for housing - either social or affordable - for the next 5 years. Their answer is to stick with the failed Rebuilding Ireland plan. It hasn’t worked to date & won’t in the future @fiannafailparty #rtept

My parents were so proud when I got a degree. Every student deserves that chance. We will fully restore guidance counsellors to help students to stay in school. We’ll increase funding for college grants & supports for struggling students. #TwitterTakeover #VoteForEveryChildhttps://twitter.com/unicefireland/status/1224728049238888451 …
