Réada Cronin (born 1963/1964)[2] is an Irish Sinn Féin politician who has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Kildare North constituency since the 2020 general election.

After being criticised by the Israeli embassy in Ireland for a "history of paranoid, hate-driven conspiracy theories," Cronin backtracked, calling her comments "throwaway remarks."

[6][7] Older tweets surfaced in the following days where she claimed Israel had "taken Nazism to a new level", linked Hitler to the Rothschild family, compared a picture of monkeys working on computers to the Israeli Embassy and suggested Irish judges could be paedophiles and promoted conspiracy theories about the harmful effects of water fluoridation.

[8][9] Her comments were condemned by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and by Maurice Cohen, chair of the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland who characterised them as "inaccurate, anti-Semitic and racist”.

[10] Separate to her conduct on social media, it was also after her 2020 election that it came to light that Cronin and her husband Donal built a €1,000,000 home in Kildare in 2002 knowing that they did not have full planning permission to do so.
