The Social Democrats will join Sinn Féin and left-wing independents in opposing Dublin City Council's budget tomorrow night, putting pressure on Labour and the Greens to vote against Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael dublinpeople.com/news/dublin/ar…

We'll be joining tomorrow's @catuireland protest against rent hikes for DCC tenants. 🪧📢✊🏼 Join us in fighting the unjust raising of rents on low-income families in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis! 🏘💸

Great day at @TheLeftBankSD sessions in Dublin yesterday 🟦🟦 Over to @corksocdem for the next series of panels in the Imperial Hotel, Cork City 🟥⬜️

Well said @jesslynhenry , @BrownNollieb & Karl Stanley 👏 No unjust rent hikes for DCC tenants!

Tonight is the night... Christmas 2025 is officially starting in Harold's Cross Park at 5pm 🎄🎅🤶🦌🐻‍❄ @DubCityCouncil

Great panels at the @TheLeftBankSD Dublin seminar. Fascinating contributions on the 'Rise of Right Populism' and 'Welfare, not Warfare' panels from Tom Cowin, Alice-Mary Higgins, Sinead Gibney, Eoghan McNeill, Cllr. Noelle Brown & Cllr. Karl Stanley.

I am extremely disappointed to see that @forsa_union_ie is forced to write this statement 55 members of Government were out at strikes taking photos for social media & yet we still see no concrete action to provide equality for workers The time to act is now #PensionParity

So many of our council tenants are living in deplorable conditions that don’t meet basic living standards. To impose a higher rent on council tenants, in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, is unconscionable!

Take part in our Christmas Draw for a chance to win 1 of 5 cash and book voucher prizes! All funds raised will support our mission to field progressive candidates all over the country. Tickets are on sale now!

If DCC rents are raised and it becomes unaffordable for tenants to remain in situ, looking to the private market provides no respite. Raising council rents will directly result in more families being driven into homelessness. @RoryHearneGaffs socialdemocrats.ie/14495/

Pass the Occupied Territories Bill, include services, and do it this year. The Government promised action but continues to stall while solidarity across the country grows stronger. This is a simple matter of enforcing international law. It is time to act.

Can't wait for this tomorrow!! @theleftbanks 💜

A beautiful evening of Trans Appreciation & Remembrance , hosted by our friends in @SocDemsRathdown 🏳️‍⚧️ ❤️

Families and low income workers cannot afford the basics. Charities are stepping in because the Government is not. People deserve real support. No family should rely on vouchers or loans to get through winter. The Government must act.

Enact the Occupied Territories Bill, include services, do it before the end of the year. The Govt must stop the circular arguments and follow through on its commitments.

Great to see the passing of a joint-Opposition motion calling for the Occupied Territories Bill to be passed through the Oireachtas before Christmas. 🇵🇸 We'll keep the pressure on! No delays ❌️ No watering the OTB down ❌️

With an upcoming by-election, what people want now is strong candidates who are present, engaged and doing the work on the ground. The Social Democrats in Dublin Central are ready, organised and excited to put forward a strong candidate.

Grocery price inflation is now running at 6%. Yet there is still no transparency around profits in the sector. The @SocDems will be introducing legislation in the coming weeks to give the Agri-Food Regulator the increased powers it needs. @WhitmoreJen socialdemocrats.ie/soc-dems-to-in…

A great event being hosted by our friends in @SocDemsRathdow this Thursday 🏳️‍⚧️

The new supply of rental properties advertised in Dublin. These are investor assets not homes. €3,050 per month for a 1 bed apartment! €4,500 for a two bed... And the Government gives them tax breaks and under new rules will allow them increase rent to market rent
