Recent social media posts by Social Democrats leader Holly Cairns focus on the week gone by and, specifically, her party’s motion calling for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador. The posts contain two clips of her Wednesday morning speech on the motion, her speech to the 2,000 or so protesters who showed up on Wednesday evening outside Leinster House, and her defiant post of the Dáil voting screen after the motion was defeated.
