AI platforms enabling abuse must face consequences. “Ireland has laws to protect people and children. They must be enforced in full and without delay. Platforms and companies cannot be allowed to evade responsibility.” @LauraHarmon01 labour.ie/news/2026/01/0…

Government admits climate targets in tatters 🌍 “The longer Gov puts off real climate action, the higher the cost to the public and the greater the impact on our environment and economy. That is not a near miss. It’s a massive failure.” @ciaranahern labour.ie/news/2026/01/0…

"The flagrancy with which the United States has acted in Venezuela has shocked the world and undermines the very foundations of international cooperation and respect for sovereign nations." Full statement from Duncan Smith TD🔗 labour.ie/news/2026/01/0…

US attacks on Venezuela mark major international crisis. “What we are witnessing in Caracas is a situation that demands urgent global action.” @DuncanSmithTD labour.ie/news/2026/01/0…

No change in sight as homelessness surges into 2026. “Almost 17,000 people are now in emergency accommodation, including more than 5,300 children, and the numbers continue to climb relentlessly.” @ConorSheehan93 ➡️ labour.ie/news/2026/01/0…

Victim blaming will not solve the housing crisis. “What the Tánaiste has said is simply untrue.” Aodhán Ó Ríordáin MEP labour.ie/news/2025/12/3…

Harmon presses Minister on student accommodation crisis. 🗣️"Students are not cash cows. They deserve fair rents, affordable fees and a clear plan for accommodation that puts their needs first." @LauraHarmon01 🔗labour.ie/news/2025/12/1…

Ní neart go cur le chéile!! Trade Unionists and Youth Groups out in force today at the AV Briefing ahead of our Bill tonight. @owenreidy @nusuk @amle_ie @MaeveRichardson @nyci @SIPTU @irishcongress @labouryouth We have a lot of work to do but we are ready for the fight💪

On a day where the European Parliament voted to support safe and legal abortion, the majority of FF and FG voted AGAINST even having a debate on our laws here. The O’ Shea review is over 2 years old and still no update or progress on making sure our laws work for women.

I guess this is what it felt like in the 80s when voting on women’s rights 🤷🏻‍♂️ Didn’t think I could be shocked in the Dáil, but I was tonight when so many Govt TDs voted to shut down any debate on progressing women’s rights. We @labour won’t let this stop us 🌹

Government votes against ending age pay discrimination. "Young people and apprentices have been treated appallingly by successive Governments." @CosgroveNessa labour.ie/news/2025/12/1…

Skipping scrutiny on gas reserve bill is unacceptable. "This proposal from the Minister to waive pre legislative scrutiny is simply unacceptable. Pre legislative scrutiny exists for a reason." @ciaranahern labour.ie/news/2025/12/1…

Road safety crisis demands urgent Government action. "Families are paying the price for a transport system that is no longer functioning properly and for a road safety strategy that is clearly failing." @GeorgeLawlorTD labour.ie/news/2025/12/1…

More of the same from Government on childcare. "Today’s announcement by the Minister is more of the same from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. There is no coherent plan from Government to get to grips with the issues facing the childcare sector." @MarkWall1 labour.ie/news/2025/12/1…

Students stranded as Minister considers rent hikes - @LauraHarmon01 “The interests of the private sector have been put ahead of students and their families for far too long. 🗓️ Tomorrow at 11am 📍 Leinster House labour.ie/news/2025/12/1…

Older people & vulnerable disabled people-they’re been used as pawns in the game being played by the Minister & Pharmacists It’s so wrong Phased dispensing & blister packs- it’s the dinosaur of medical technology and it works. We need more of it not less irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…
