#OTD in 1916, Padraig Pearse surrendered to General Lowe. You can just see nurse, Elizabeth O' Farrell's shoes in this photograph of the surrender. Artist Sinead Guckian reversed the Pearse surrender photograph to reveal her in the below painting which hangs in the Seanad.

Eoin O'Driscoll Fine Gael Regina Doherty She's a useless gobshite who was sacked by the people of Meath East, resigned from politics, changed her mind, went to the Seanad that she campaigned to close, and now has her greedy eye on Europe. Will she pay her tax bill? These 2 photos sum her up..

Senator Marie Sherlock Aodhán Ó Ríordáin Do you expect us to believe that Aodhan the Crayon cares about little Asian children? He doesn't even care about his constituents. The arrogant spoilt brat changes his beliefs as often as he should change his underwear. Yes, Seanad, no Seanad. Too white but stands for every

Earlier, in the Seanad, I took the opportunity to acknowledge the families of the 48 victims of the Stardust tragedy, their friends and the wider community.

Today 3:30pm until 7pm. #EUMigrationPact debate with Minister for Justice.
