"Waterways paying ‘high price’ for nitrates derogation" –Jennifer Whitmore TD “Continued government inaction is undermining Ireland’s environmental commitments – and our rivers & seas are paying the price" agriland.ie/farming-news/w…

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 How can this be meaningful when some large supermarkets do not publish the profits from their Irish operations?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…



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


Saturday, you choose to do work on the Dart lines? High summer, a heat wave, tourists flooding the city, people enjoying the beautiful coast & restaurants, festivals, games & concerts. Seriously? 🤔 Transport for Ireland Darragh O'Brien Simon Harris TD Jennifer Whitmore TD Iarnród Éireann

Tune in to Today with Claire Byrne from 11.30am when Jennifer Whitmore TD will be joining this week's panel for the Gathering.


I've been in awe of Catherine Connolly since I became a TD. She would make an incredible President and Im very excited to nominate her. connachttribune.ie/galway-west-in…



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.
