Government is doing nothing at all to get rip-off electricity bills down! Now people will be hit by another increase. All while energy companies make billions in profits and hundreds of thousands of working households can’t pay their bills. This can’t go on! It’s time to take on the energy companies, get prices down and make life affordable!

Sister Stan’s inspiring life was about giving help and hope to those in need. An unwavering advocate for the homeless, the disadvantaged, and those inflicted by poverty. She spoke truth to power in advocating for housing policies that put ordinary people first and never gave up on working for a better, fair and just society.  Sister Stan had an enormous capacity for love. Her passing is a huge loss but she has left a powerful legacy that will live on and flourish.

Here is my speech in the Dáil today where I put the questions to the Taoiseach that you have been raising with me since last night. How on earth does a ten year old child go missing from state care and how is it that a man issued with a deportation order was still here six months later. The public are asking serious questions and they need serious answers.

⚡️Electric shock! Nearly 1 million households hit with big electricity price hikes and Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael will withdraw the energy credits that are so badly needed. The government must reverse this crazy decision! This budget must be about ending the rip-off, getting costs under control and supporting workers and families.
