In 2017 Simon Harris promised that no child with scoliosis or spina bifida would have to wait longer then 4 months for life changing surgery. Despite this promise being repeated over and over it was in the end broken. Children deserve better jrnl.ie/6310547

New house prices rose sharply in 2023, by 9.2%

Bad Govt policy pushing up prices, making it more difficult to buy

Meanwhile low public housing output & bad regulation of PRS pushes up rents

Any wonder 500,000 adults still live with their parents

'How can you stand over this Minister?

'Our children deserve better. They deserve every opportunity to reach their full potential, but the Government is denying them that opportunity by delaying this bill to regulate children’s mental health services.' – Mark Ward T.D.

We need an immediate & unconditional ceasefire, an end to the illegal occupation of #Palestine , and Justice for the Palestinian people. My speech at the Council of Europe. #Gaza #FreePalestine #CeasefireNOW

Shameful! Once again this Gov't has broken all records for homelessness. How long will Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael allow these numbers to increase?

Only with a change of Government & housing plan can we start to undo the damage of decades of bad FF and FG housing policy. Eoin Ó Broin

🚨 'The only people who didn't see this coming were the people who are actually in charge!' – Mary Lou McDonald on why the Justice Minister and Garda Commissioner need to go!

More than 4,000 children will sleep in emergency accommodation this Christmas.

We need an emergency response from Govt to halt the month on month increase in homelessness.

Today I introduced legislation to ban no fault evictions for the winter.

😡Just shocking. Government have just chosen to put patients lives at risk this winter.

They voted to keep the recruitment freeze meaning 7000 essential posts have been scrapped.

This Gov has thrown in the towel on health & the longer they are in power the worse things will get

Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Green Party and Independents vote AGAINST referral of Israel to the International Criminal Court. Shameful!

New rent up 8% on last year according to latest Daft.ie report

🆘 Avg rent now €1,823 pm or €21,876 py

🆘 Avg Dublin rent €2,317 pm or €27,804 py

🆘 21 counties with double digit rent hikes

Tenants need a ban on rent increases & a full months rent back in their pockets

The extension of the recruitment embargo in health is a serious escalation & a dire consequence of the Government underfunding our health services for next year. Some who were offered positions will now have them withdrawn. This creates reputational damage & sends out a message

Our Dáil motion calls on Ireland to refer Israel to International Criminal Court. I urge government to support this sensible demand.
Israel must be held to account for the ongoing, blatant breaches of international law that has caused so much devastation in Gaza.
#CeasefireNow 🇵🇸

It's November.
Kids are on mid term break.
But still no school transport.

This is beyond any reasonable justification.

Meet Mark: Mark’s story is the reason we have lodged a funding application for 4 new CSP staff members to Pobal & Department of Rural and Community Development for our NATIONAL service after carrying 5500 people with disabilities from EVERY county in Ireland youtu.be/gClCcXGnytc?si… Sorca Clarke TD Joe Flaherty

An important development tonight as the Dáil overwhelmingly unites behind calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East.
Other parliaments should follow suit and the world must demand that Israel ends the siege and attacks on Gaza.

Govt TDs have just voted AGAINST Sinn Féin amendments to extend the Energy Windfall Tax to capture super-excess profits from Summer 2022.

Summer 2022 was when wholesale prices were at their highest. Energy company profits from this time remain EXCLUDED from the windfall tax. 😠
