- Today Tánaiste Leo Varadkar asked me to serve in Govt as Minister of State @agriculture_ie. It‘s a great honour to be the first Kildare Fine Gael Minister in 23 yrs. Many thanks to my family & supporters for helping me reach this point today. I look forward to the challenge ahead
- It’s fair to say that we were very happy to be bringing Juliet home from the Coombe to her brothers. A slow drive with precious cargo.
- Having our #EurovisionParty here in the Coombe Hospital with our new arrival, baby John Heydon. Only two days old and he’s a #Eurovision fan already
- The strengthened protocols by @HRIRacing make a strong case 4 a safe swift return of Irish Horse Racing. A critical issue for an industry that employs 1,000’s across Ireland; Key politician calls for racing resumption with equine sports activity to start racingpost.com
- 2021 saw more than a 50% reduction in fatal farm incidents but the 9 deaths on Irish farms last year is still 9 too many. I ask all farmers & their families to keep safety to the forefront of their minds as we face into 2022. Wishing you a safe & Happy New Year #farmsafety
- “For decades Sinn Fein has fought against free trade deals and treaties..”is a damning admission from a SF representative. Free trade deals have been hugely beneficial for this country and create jobs in communities all across Ireland. Sinn Féin are anti-trade which is anti-jobsCETA should not be ratified without referendum - Senator Lynn Boylan "CETA is a bad deal. It is bad for workers’ rights, bad for the environment and bad for the public purse." sinnfein.ie/contents/64611@LNBDublin
- Positive development for Irish Horse racing & breeding employees as well as supporters, that resumption of racing will now take place in phase 2 of the #COVID19 roadmap, June 8th, and not Phase 3, June 29th, as originally planned. @TheIrishField@RacingPost@HRIRacing
- Delighted to announce that we have reached an agreement with Japanese authorities to allow the export of minced meat and burgers to #Japan. Great boost for the #beef sector and reflects the importance we put in strengthening our #trade with Japan 🇯🇵🇮🇪 gov.ie/en/press-relea…
- It is an honour to have been asked to continue serving as Minister of State in the Department of Agriculture by An Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar. I look forward to building on my work in the role and and continuing to represent Kildare in Government.
- Well done to all 22 #Irish winners at #CheltenhamFestival this week, proving our dominance of jump racing right now. Particular congratulations to champion jockey #RachaelBlackmore who didn’t just break the glass ceiling, she smashed it 🇮🇪🐎@HRIRacing@ITBA_Official
- I am honoured and humbled to have been elected again today to represent the people of Kildare South & Laois. I will continue to work hard to represent you at local and national level. Huge thank you to everyone who supported me and came out to vote #TeamHeydon#LookForward

- Proud of my County Board this evening. I can’t help but feel that the attempt by @officialgaa CCCC to try to disregard their own rules was influenced by Sky Sports desire to have a double header in Croker. @KildareGAA#NEWBRIDGEORNOWHEREStatement: All Ireland SFC Series Round 3 Fixture ⬇️
