🚨 Sinn Féin voted against Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael tonight. Their proposals on petrol and diesel didn’t go far enough and they abandoned households relying on home heating oil. Our amendment, which they opposed, would have cut diesel by the maximum and cut petrol by the same amount and would have removed excise entirely from home heating oil. That’s the type of support that workers and families needed tonight and we’re not settling for anything less.

Sinn Féin has brought forward the solutions needed to cut taxes on petrol, diesel and home heating oil to make life more affordable. People can’t wait. Every day Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael delay, workers and families pay the price. @sinnfeinireland

Government must act immediately to cut soaring fuel prices – @MaryLouMcDonald “How bad do things have to get before this government helps? How high do fuel prices have to go before they act?” sinnfein.ie/news/governmen…

It’s time for people power! Surging petrol and diesel prices. The largest home heating oil price hike in Europe. A scandalous rip-off and real stress for people. We need your help to pressure Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to act. They must pass Sinn Féin’s Bill to immediately cut taxes on fuel when it comes before the Dáil. Contact your local government TD and demand they support the Bill. We’re fighting your corner all the way and you can make the difference! Let’s keep the pressure up! Tá daoine faoi bhrú ollmhór, caithfidh an rialtas gníomhú anois láithreach.

The @IFAmedia are holding a public meeting in Cavan tonight, Feb 25th at 8pm, to discuss the ongoing Bord Bia protest. #farming #agriculture #irishfarmers #boardbia #ireland

We’ve got to make sure that the government do not cut SNAs. Make sure to get to your local protest this evening. @sinnfeinireland

Yesterday, the Local Road Funding allocations were announced. Unfortunately, both counties, Monaghan and Cavan, see a reduction in funding compared to last year. @sinnfeinireland

🛑 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.

The N2 Clontibret to the Border and Ardee to Castleblayney roads schemes are crucial to the north-east region for various reasons. #roadsafety #transport #Ireland @sinnfeinireland @OireachtasNews

The Chairperson of Bord Bia needs to go. The government need to support Sinn Féin’s motion tonight. @sinnfeinireland @OireachtasNews

More funding for councils is needed to fix potholes and flood-damaged roads after floods. @sinnfeinireland @mattcarthy @MonaghanCoCo @cavancoco

From March 1st, 60,000 people will face rent increases under Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s rent hike bill, benefiting vulture funds and big landlords. We need to end the rip-off, ban rent increases, make rents affordable, and stop Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s rent hike bill.

Did you know that from March 1st Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are pushing through a rent hike bill that will mean thousands more in rent for 60,000 renters a year. A gift to vulture funds and big landlords. More pressure on renters. Where is the fairness? We need to end the rip-off, ban the increases and make rents affordable. Stop Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael’s rent hike bill.

If you listen to one thing today, let it be this. Louise O'Reilly TD 👏🏻

Scandalous that millions allocated for National Flood Forecasting Warning Service were not spent – @johnbradysf "Communities impacted by flooding cannot continue to be let down by this government’s poor planning and inaction." sinnfein.ie/news/scandalou…
