Slippage on climate action targets puts Ireland at risk of billions in EU fines at the upper end of the scale. But inaction on climate change will also result in more extreme weather events. Govt must not ignore latest EPA assessment. Jennifer Whitmore TD socialdemocrats.ie/slippage-on-cl…

The CCPC has re-opened a probe into grocery prices, but the government has failed to give it requisite powers to do its job. How can this be meaningful when some large supermarkets do not publish the profits from their Irish operations? Jennifer Whitmore TD socialdemocrats.ie/supermarket-pr…

Grocery costs are up €3,000 a year since 2021. Families are struggling to afford basics We need transparency around supermarket profits to investigate gouging by retailers This is why we are bringing a motion to the Dáil on Wednesday setting out solutions and demanding action

The cost-of-living crisis is out of control. And nowhere is that more evident than on supermarket shelves. The scale and speed of the increases has been dizzying. In a few short years, the cost for families has increased by €3,000 a year. Jennifer Whitmore TD

Here are the facts. Grocery prices have gone up 36% since 2021. This incredible increase is putting huge pressure on families. Four in 10 parents are skipping meals so their children can eat. This is a major problem. Jennifer Whitmore TD

Our sprat stocks are being overfished, and we can't tell how damaging that will be. Sprat are utterly invaluable; the future of our fish, whales, dolphins and seabirds depend on them. We need a formal stock take of sprat now - we cannot afford to lose this species.

Today, Jennifer Whitmore TD will introduce a Bill proposing a moratorium on commercial sprat fishing in Irish waters. Right now, sprat is being fished intensively with no quota, no management plan, and no protections in place. That is simply not sustainable. socialdemocrats.ie/whitmore-intro…

Thanks to RTÉ Prime Time for covering this tonight. No person should live in these conditions. Urgent remedial action is required. rte.ie/news/primetime…

Thanks Jennifer Whitmore TD. It's a free for all every autumn/winter on sprat. Its removing a keystone species in the marine food chain & risks the collapse of other inshore fish populations, & wildlife numbers. It's absolute madness!! #saveoursprat #westcork #Cork Micheál Martin

Great to see this bill being introduced by Jennifer Whitmore TD yesterday. Sprat are a key food source for much of our marine wildlife🐳🐬🦭 Yet it has been fished intensively without a quota or plan. A moratorium is needed to collect & process the data to support a sustainable quota.

Successive governments have failed to protect critical forage fish like sprat or to reform the mismanagement of Ireland's inshore. Thank you Jennifer Whitmore TD for taking action.

Govts inability to manage and invest in our grid and to curb data centre growth is hitting other FDI projects, incl this one (which isnt a data centre). (the irony is not lost on me tho) independent.ie/irish-news/ama…
