Love Ireland?
Then hate racism!
Delighted to see so many familiar faces at the anti racism rally in Dublin today.
Ireland is not full and Ireland is for all!

Judicial Review withdrawn for Metrolink!
If the State is, as reported, buying the homes as an offer to end the Judicial Review then said homes should be used to add onto our public housing stock and be converted into public housing to help alleviate our ever increasing homeless numbers.

Joined cross-party opposition at Leinster House this morning, calling for the Student Accommodation Strategy to be published. Students and families have waited long enough. It’s time to publish it now.

Thousands of commuters stuck in the past day.
The #Luas Green line being down is a prime lesson for this Government to prioritise public transport. We need investment into many modes of sustainable public transport so people aren't stuck in cars when one mode of public transport goes down.

What are the top three things we need to focus on to turn the tide on our rotting system?
-Housing
-Affordability
-Climate Action
A big thanks to the Coinnigh Clé- Keep Left campaign for having cross party discussion on the back of the success of the Connolly campaign.

From Metro to Dart+ South West to the Luas, this week has shown clearly how this Government is hell bent on sabotaging itself when it comes to providing sustainable Public Transport infrastructure for Ireland instead opting for more roads.

The Metro is delayed again due to a Judicial Review being lodged.
What is a Judicial Review you say?
Let's have a chat about it and on why public transport infrastructure is vital to tackling the ongoing Climate Crisis and our Housing Crisis.

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

The Greens were the only party to make any serious headway on the project when we were in Gov. We must continue to push to ensure we have a sustainable public transport system!

Her Excellency Jilan Wahba Abdalmajid the Palestinian Ambassador came to chat to our Young Greens at their AGM on Saturday.
I have always been in awe of Jilan's strength and courage while representing the people of Palestine but more so in the past two years than ever before. Each time I meet her..

The recent attack at the IPAS centre in Drogheda is shocking, but not surprising. Nor is the silence from those who shout the loudest about protection of women and children.

We see plenty of homes being built in Sandyford and the wider Dublin 18 area but where are the community facilities to match?
Imaginosity is now a vacant building here in BSQ in Sandyford Business District. The council need to be acting much faster to bring it into use as a community facility.

The Taoiseach creates a false choice here. Climate Action is about making life better, making energy cheaper, making our atmosphere cleaner.
But that requires leadership. We see none from this Government.

€2.377bn for public transport vs €1.724bn for roads in #budget26 is NOT a 2:1 investment ratio for public transport infrastructure over roads as previously committed.
The Government can claim the €2bn for MetroLink more than balance that equation BUT the €2 billion was taken from the 1/2

The truth is today's #budget2026 VAT cut at a cost of €700m to the taxpayer would have helped my mum's now closed restaurant only a little.
What would have helped her & so many small restaurants a lot more was a sliding VAT rate. Where the likes of McDonald's get a lot less reduction & smaller 1/2

I still can't believe that they're doing this. Giving a massive VAT tax break that'll do very little for small cafés and restaurants, while giving millions to big chains.
Weak, unfocused governance. They're too comfortable chucking out our tax money.

It's official. They're giving big restaurant chains a massive tax cut, costing nearly €700m in the #VAT cut to hospitality.
For that kind of money you could:
👨👩👦👦 Bring in a second tier of child benefit - lifting 55,000 children out of poverty
🚌 Make public transport free
