Strongly welcome this move. Horrific actions are still ongoing in Gaza. Further pressure to suspend EU Israel Association Agreement is needed now @SadakaIreland @trocaire @AmnestyEU

The next government could take us back in time… The Green Party brings new ideas, a clear purpose and stable partnership into coalition. A vote for the Greens is the best value vote out there. Next Friday 29th, vote Green #1! #GreensDeliver #GE24

The Greens have the best (only) track record delivering more public transport at lower fares, and according to the other parties' manifestos, we've the biggest plans to expand the network too. #GreensDeliver #dart #metro #luas #GE2024

In just five years, the Green Party has taken public transport delivery from a standing start to a full sprint. In the next government several mega-projects like the Metro and Dart+ will start construction. We will fund and deliver these projects at speed. #GreensDeliver #GE2024

We've climbed to our highest ranking for climate action after a massive move up in the last year, from to 43rd to 29th. That is a huge movement in one year, and shows how fast we are delivering! rte.ie/news/environme… #GreensDeliver #WindEnergy #GE24 #Election2024

Green policies are central to tackling the cost of living crisis. We have put in place several permanent measures to dramatically bring down the costs of childcare, public transport and household energy, for now and into the future. #GreensDeliver #RTEUpfront #LeadersDebate

“When we entered government, we promised to transform Ireland from a climate laggard into a climate leader. We delivered on that promise.” - @rodericogorman #GreensDeliver #RTEUpfront #LeadersDebate

The government has put in many short term measures to alleviate the worst of the cost of living crisis. Green Party ministers have put in measures to address the cost of living for the long term - in childcare, public transport and retrofitting. #RTEUpfront #GreensDeliver

The Greens have delivered in this government and we want to deliver again in the next. We have a clear vision and we’re not afraid to get stuck in to make change happen. #GreensDeliver #GE24 #RTEUpfront

For the fifth election in a row, we are fielding a candidate in every constituency in the general election. Wherever you are in the country, you can vote Green #1 on November 29th. Get behind your local candidate here! greenparty.ie/people #GreensDeliver #GE24
