I raised the case in the Dáil of elderly parents of a disabled adult child in my constituency who contacted me. Parents are terrified about the future for their diasbled children when they are no longer able to care for them. We need more action from Government on this

Just days after the latest figures confirmed there are now 15,378 people living in homeless emergency accommodation – 4,653 of them children – the Minister was unable to say when final figures for the delivery of social homes for 2024 would be available. socialdemocrats.ie/governments-so…

The Govt want to scrap rent pressure zones and allow rents soar. This would lead to huge increases in homelessness and poverty. A landlords’ spokesperson agrees the measure would lead to increased poverty and homelessness - but is advocating for it anyway

How can a teacher, nurse, guard, or any young person afford to buy a home at these house prices? Highest level of increase in 8 years. This government claimed it turned a corner on housing , it was all spin, They've taken us off a cliff, and there's no sign of a driver...

We spoke to the Financial Times about a range of topics relating to nightclubs. The main focus on Ireland here though regards the uncertainty on licensing and how it's holding back new investment into the sector ft.com/content/2138e9…

The last Govt gave in to the usual fearmongering in relation to this long overdue reform. Fear can't keep winning though. A commitment was made, this next Govt should now plan for it and enact the laws. We've called for a clear timeline #giveusthenight rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

This is cold and cruel. It's a measure to remove reminders of FF/FGs successive policy failures and the extent of inequality in Dublin today. Improves nothing, helps no one, and actively harms those in need.
The Irish Times@IrishTimes

New bylaws to prohibit “well-meaning” volunteer groups providing on-street food and personal services to Dublin’s homeless population will be drafted by Dublin City Council in the new year. irishtimes.com/ireland/dublin…

Dublin city centre is not as safe as it should be. And though Simon Harris's taskforce has published its report, there's still no budget allocated to implementing its recommendations. The capital deserves better, and the next govt must deliver better.
