Today's news that Europe is the fastest warming continent is a reminder of how urgent the climate crisis is.

On #EarthDay2024 we need examine the link between climate change & inequality.

I met Prof Mary Murphy in the Botanic Gardens to hear her views on what the European Union must prioritise.

We need to elect MEPs who will address these issues effectively.

This Government's plan can be summed up as housing for some. We need #AnIrelandThatWorks for all NOW.
