Last Sunday of this General Election campaign. We tried our best to make it a truly “Super Sunday” as we knocked on doors and asked for votes in my home of Stepaside. A really heartening response on the doors and I’m so grateful to have been joined by such a great crowd. Onwards! by @neale.richmond
A final General Election post from me this weekend before it’s back to work tomorrow as a TD for the people of Dublin Rathdown. Politics is tough. It is particularly tough on the families, friends and supporters of those who put their name on the ballot paper. This week will see lots of really good people miss out on being elected and re-elected, many people will wake up tomorrow without their job and many families will be left to pick up the practical and emotional pieces. Democracy is fragile and it depends on people taking part to function. I am extremely grateful to the thousands of people who have voted for me as well as the dozens of friends who have played such a big part for many years. We’ve a super team in our Dáil office that work so hard everyday and my campaign was run by an amazing Director of Elections. Crucially, I am blessed with an amazing wife and brilliant family who I’ve been pretty absent from for the past while. Thank you all. by @neale.richmond
Sincere thanks for all the good wishes. On a tough day for our party, I am humbled to be elected to represent my home of Dublin Rathdown in Dáil Éireann alongside my friend Josepha Madigan. I was so lucky to have the support of the best team imaginable. #GE2020 by @neale.richmond

Have you heard the news? 📣   Emigrant Support Programme funding for Irish community organisations in Britain this year totals a record £7.8mn!   Watch our video to hear from Elizabeth from @leeds_GATE and Maria from the Young at Heart Café about how ESP grants make a difference to their communities. by @neale.richmond
I am writing in today’s Irish Examiner on the growing crises in the Sahel region of sub-Saharan Africa. There is growing instability in the region, from conflict, hunger, climate change and conditions that lead people into the hands of fundamentalist terrorism. Investment through Irish Aid and Ireland’s Official Development Assistance Programme is an investment in stability in the region. When I was in Senegal last week, I witnessed the amazing work being done by Sightsavers in conjunction with Irish Aid. Trachoma has been eliminated in Senegal protecting 9 million people from this awful disease. Those are the kind of results we can all be proud of, but which are also a benefit to us here and they help provide levels of stability for people in the region. by @neale.richmond
Our Irish diaspora in the UK is a diverse and dynamic group of people. It is a community that represents the very best of us as a nation. I was delighted to be in London today to launch this year’s allocation of Emigrant Support Programme funding for our diaspora in Britain - which is being increased by €2 million. It was great to chat with everyone today and to see a wonderful artistic performance telling the story of the lived experience of the Traveller members of our diaspora community. by @neale.richmond
Obligatory early morning coffee in Dublin Airport on the way to London. Today, I will be launching this years round of Emigrant Support Programme (ESP) funding allocations for 2027 for Irish diaspora organisations in the UK. I was delighted to secure a record allocation in Budget 2027 for the ESP. This fund support Irish organisations abroad and the most vulnerable of our people who have emigrated. by @neale.richmond
Out and about on the doors in Leopardstown with a strong team this half term Wednesday. Lovely coffee as well in the recently refurbished Lep Inn. by @neale.richmond

At this moment, we are seeing two man made famines in the world. The World Food Programme believes this could increase to four by Christmas. Today, I spoke at a Concern event on food security, under Ireland’s Presidency of the EU. Nutrition is a key plank of international development. I have seen this firsthand from Irish Aid projects in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Malawi and many others. These are programmes that save lives and help elevate communities. In Ireland, we are all too aware of the terrible impact of hunger as a country that has experienced famine. Cuts to development assitance have been profound, but there is light with some EU partners reconsidering their cuts to development. They have seen how cuts to development aid are so damaging to communities in the global south, but also to their own interests. by @neale.richmond
