Fianna Fáil have published our General Election manifesto. It's packed with policies to help households with cost of living pressures, continue progress on housing delivery and improve public services over the next 5 years. You can download your #GE24 manifesto copy here: mail.fiannafail.ie/e3t/Ctc/GE+113…

Fine Gael have announced a plan to increase the VAT rate for electricity and gas to 11%. Irish households & businesses are already paying the highest energy rates in Europe. We don't need any further price hikes 👎🏻 Fianna Fáil will fight to reduce costs on households and businesses. @fiannafailparty #GE24

Fantastic news for Dún Laoghaire Harbour today with the decision from An Tánaiste & Minister for Defence @MichealMartinTD that the Irish Naval Service's two new inshore patrol vessels will be based at the harbour. I've been campaigning for a permanent presence at the harbour since I was Cathaoirleach in 2016-17 and this is great news for the harbour and the town. The two new inshore vessels will patrol the Irish Sea freeing up the larger offshore vessels (like the LÉ George Bernard Shaw which is visiting Dún Laoghaire at the moment) to operate off the west coast and the Atlantic. The permanent facility at Dún Laoghaire will generate revenue for the Council and continue the harbour's long association with the Irish Naval Service. 🇮🇪

Congratulations to Michael McGrath on his nomination as EU Commissioner-designate for Democracy, Justice and the Rule of Law. He'll be an excellent Commissioner and the expanded portfolio is a very strong and influential appointment.

RT @CormacDevlin: Great to welcome the Fianna Fáil Parliamentary Party to Killiney for our annual Think-In. We'd a fantastic canvass yest…

Firefighting operations have finished at the #Barnacullia gorse #wildfire. Thanks to @ESBNetworks @coilltenews and @GardaTraffic for all the assistance. A helicopter from @coilltenews enabled great progress to be made.

Special thank you to the residents of #Barnacullia for their kind hospitality, and refreshments which they left out for us today

Lovely evening in Dún Laoghaire for the annual Roger Casement Commemoration. Well done Margaret Brown and the organising committee.

Congratulations to @ShayBrennan on being selected at the Dublin Rathdown Election Convention tonight.

Shocking incident, again underlines the need for a dedicated Garda Public Transport unit. Passengers and bus drivers shouldn't have to deal with this type of criminal behaviour. @DermotLeary @SIPTU

dlr is asking people who swim at beaches, lakes, and rivers to tell them if they think they should maintain existing designated bathing water designations or give a new official bathing area designation. More information and to have your say here: bit.ly/dlrIdentificat…
