Greens are back? We never went away!

Great to see so many Green members at the march for #ClimateAction in Dublin yesterday.

This Government are failing when it comes to Climate Action and we need change now!

Join us in the fight!

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.

Is this new road the solution to traffic jams in Sandyford?

Construction starts this week on the "Junction 14 Link Road" in Sandyford Business District.

Well done to Dublin city council for this initiative. It's badly needed. I"d love to see it replicated across the country.

Congratulations to Catherine Connolly who has been elected the 10th President of Ireland. We were delighted to support this campaign over the last month and her landslide win is proof of the value of a positive, united campaign.

This is the result of losing a Green voice in Govt. FF/FG only pay lip service to climate action. When decisions get tough they fold like a house of cards.
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.

Another example of this budget rolling back on their commitments
Despite ambitious promises in their manifestos and Programme for Government, the Government parties have failed to invest adequately in childcare in this Budget cycle.

A real missed opportunity for targeting the small businesses that really needed it. #budget26
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

Trees make a street better, in so many ways. So it's great that the council Parks department are replanting trees in empty pits on Mourne Road. Let's look after them!

Ireland's enviable budget surplus should be spent on essential capital infrastructure - that includes projects like DART+ and Metrolink, but also investment in public-built housing, water and energy infrastructure.

A big blanket VAT cut? It's a bad idea. Better to give smarter, more targetted supports for cafes and restaurants.

We've set out a way to give more to small businesses while spending about a third of what the government are planning.

Be smart: do more, spend less!

The appalling attacks on migrants happening across Ireland need to stop.

These are just some of the recent attacks that the Indian and Pakistani communities in Ireland have faced.

If you see racism, please call it out. They will only get more brazen if they continue to get away with it.

People should not be fooled by the spin on the National Development Plan Review.

Behind the noise about increased spending on transport, the Govt is abandoning the critical schemes that will help us reduce our emissions, like energy innovation, offshore wind and retrofit.

🚨 The €3.15bn Climate & Nature Fund that the Green Party fought for in Govt. has been raided by FF/FG.

This fund should be used as intended – to retrofit our buildings and to help farmers restore nature to meet our emissions targets.
