⛽️📈 Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have been dithering for weeks now as fuel prices soar. They need to reduce Excise Duty on home heating oil, petrol and diesel, and NOT bring in their planned Carbon Tax increase on 1st May Workers and families need a break

While government has backed down for now on its SNA cuts plan, we need to keep the pressure on! SNAs deserve respect for the incredibly important job they do, and students and schools deserve the supports and resources to ensure every child reaches their full potential!

🏘️ How much longer are Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil going to allow these faceless vulture funds to out compete and rip-off hardworking families? It’s time to ban these funds from buying-up family homes once and for all

🛑 Stop SNA cuts! A pause to the Fianna Fáil-Fine Gael plan for widespread SNA cuts is not good enough. Micheál Martin saying “schools are well used to appealing” is insulting. Devastating for children with special education needs. Parents racked with worry. Schools left with real uncertainty. The only thing they need to hear from the Taoiseach is that this cruel plan will be completely scrapped.

🚨Outside the Dáil tonight as we attempt to stop the Government’s Rent Hike Bill Families and workers simply cannot afford the massive hike in rents that Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Lowry Independents are bringing in!

It is incredibly important that Guardian ad Litems (GALs) can be the voice of a child in court proceedings without any fear of repercussions in terms of their job The decision to place both GALs and Tusla under the same Minister raises concerns which must be addressed

Raising the plight of Northside Home Care workers with the Taoiseach today. Instead of threatening their jobs the HSE should be engaging with them and their union to find a solution. Equal pay for equal work!

On the picket lines with the Northside Home Care workers in Coolock today. It’s been one week since the beginning of the strike They deserve equal pay for equal work!

This means they never got the pay increases that other Section 39 workers received despite doing the exact same job. The Health Minister and the HSE need to sort this out now, engage with the workers and their union representatives, and ensure their work is valued. (2/2)

🪧Supporting the Northside Home Care workers who were out on the picket in the lashing rain today. These workers do hugely important work caring for some of the most vulnerable in our community but were excluded from the recent pay deal when they were reclassified (1/2)

Once again, government is refusing to act on the growing problem of nitrous oxide in our communities, despite Sinn Féin bringing forward practical, common sense legislation this evening. Nitrous Oxide is having long term impacts on the health of young people and needs to be regulated. The government must back this important legislation.

🐄🌳🥩The Mercosur Trade Deal has serious implications for Irish food safety This Government should do all it can to prevent its ratification

The Government’s decision to stop funding blister packs for medications is not only cruel in the middle of a cost of living crisis, it poses a serious danger to the health of vulnerable patients. A pause on these charges isn’t good enough, they should be scrapped entirely.

Watch this! Mary Lou hits the nail on the head. A do-nothing government whose first year has been defined by failure scandal and broken promises. The worst government ever!

Speaking on the Sinn Féin Bill that would extend protection from harassment to victims of sexual violence. The bill would mean that a court can place a restraining order on a person convicted of a crime of sexual violence from approaching the victim in the future.

With the students and teachers from Stapolin Educate Together outside the Dáil today. The school say they have the space for two additional autism classes if the Department of Education will sanction them. This needs to happen as a matter of urgency!
