Very welcome news when we see a chronic shortage of playing pitches & sports facilities for children across communities in Dublin 8 & Dublin 6/6W

2024 has been one of the darkest years on our roads to date - @duncansmithtd

We are calling on Govt to:

👉️ Publish data on collision blackspots to protect drivers
👉️ Carry out a road safety information campaign
👉️ Enact our Bill to end the sharing of road traffic images

A really warm reception today on our local The Labour Party canvass with ⁦Fiona Connelly⁩ #HaroldsCross ⁦The Labour Party⁩

A great pleasure to welcome the brilliant teachers & students from 6th class at ⁦Ranelagh Multi-Denominational School (RMDS)⁩ into Leinster House this morning!

Well done Fiona Connelly on raising concern about future closure of #RathminesPostOffice at Dublin City Council meeting this week

Extraordinary delay from Gov in publishing revised #Housing targets as I pointed out yesterday in the #Dáil

The time for Ireland to recognise the State of Palestine is long overdue. 🇵🇸

We commend Spain for its commitment to recognising Palestinian statehood by July.

Ireland must follow suit now and continue to work with international partners to deliver a #CeasefireForGaza . 🕊️

Far too many lives have been lost on Irish roads in 2024 - Ivana Bacik

Ahead of tonight’s #rtept investigation into road safety, Labour is reiterating our call for the publication of data on road collisions to inform drivers on particularly dangerous stretches of our roads.

It was great to bump into you today, Shane - on our morning canvass with Aodhán Ó Ríordáin #EP24

Speaking now on our The Labour Party amendments on #Planning - we seek to introduce a “use it or lose it” clause to tackle speculative land hoarding.

Housing Ministers confirm further delivery delays to Ivana Bacik

❝Call me a cynic, but this strikes me as a ploy to promise plenty and deliver nothing in advance of a General Election. They know that the anemic housing plans are nowhere near sufficient.

See report on my exchange in the Dáil today with the Tánaiste - raising the need for Ireland to take stronger action in support of #Gaza

This response was given to me during Dáil questions to #Housing Minister - shocking to hear this further Gov delay in publishing revised targets - no sense of Gov ambition or urgency in tackling the #Housing Disaster

Delighted to attend last night’s launch of the ⁦Connections Arts Centre⁩ exhibition at the ⁦RHA Gallery⁩ - a wonderful show by the Connecting Artists Collective - connectionsartscentre.ie/rha-exhibition

A brilliant team out this morning on Stephen’s Green on a lively canvass for ⁦Aodhán Ó Ríordáin⁩ ⁦The Labour Party⁩ #FortheLoveofDublin

Great to be out early this morning with Aodhán Ó Ríordáin #AodhanForEurope

Strong advocacy for workers’ rights from our Senator Marie Sherlock tonight - well spoken #AnIrelandThatWorksForAll

Well said. And that’s why we need strong The Labour Party representation in the EU Parliament #EP24 #HouriganForEU

Nobody should be taken in by Fine Gael's lazy tax cuts pledge.

The Taoiseach may talk about making work pay but the reality is that his Government’s policies harm workers who are the taxpayers of this country.

This is not the answer for working people.
