The price of new build homes, esp in cities, is out of control.

The housing crisis will not be solved while such high prices persist.

Govt policy has to focus on bringing these prices down, not providing more subsidies.

"I think cancelling this fixture, boycotting this fixture...I think it would be an act of respect to the players.

The most powerful politicians in this country give statements, they're ineffective and useless. This would be an act.

Action of some kind is surely required."

12 point plan to tackle homelessness 👇

[Sinn Féin @sinnfeinireland]

€50 MILLION written off on a failed rail IT system.

€127,000 on a designer bike shed.

Meanwhile ordinary families are counting every euro just to get by.

In the Dáil @PearseDoherty called out Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil’s culture of waste, incompetence and contempt for taxpayers

[Pearse Doherty @PearseDoherty]

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have never and will never serve the interests of the ordinary Irish people. They should go and they should go now.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

They raped a man.
They gang-raped him.
They raped him so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.
Doctors documented the injuries.
The video of the assault was leaked.

Now the rapists are free.

This is not just unlawful and immoral. It is sick!

Israel is killing medics and children today.

They do this every single day.

Country's largest landlord says its rental income could surge by 25% thanks to Government rules https://t.co/q6RpyDraGH

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

Did you know that from March 1st Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are pushing through a rent hike bill that will mean thousands more in rent for 60,000 renters a year.

A gift to vulture funds and big landlords. More pressure on renters. Where is the fairness?

We need to end the rip-off, ban the increases and make rents affordable.

Stop Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael’s rent hike bill.

Do Nothin' Government

Taskforce to tackle high electricity prices has met just three times - ✍️Caroline O' Doherty

Under its own terms of reference, the National Energy Affordability Taskforce should have met at least six times by now.

Its record emerged in a reply to a parliamentary question raised by Sinn Féin energy spokesman Pa Daly, who described it as “shocking”.

▫️last November show 303,465 domestic customers were behind on their electricity bills and 173,845 were in arrears on their gas bills.

[Sinn Féin @sinnfeinireland]

Irish households pay €360 more a year in electricity bills than households in other European countries because of this government’s failures.

People are being ripped off by energy giants while the government sits back and does nothing to end price gouging or get costs under control.

It’s time for government to show real leadership - take on these companies, cut energy bills and make life more affordable for workers and families.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

BREAKING!!
Israel's unlawful occupation is bombing Gaza again! Dozens of civilians killed, including children.
With most journalists killed/humanitarians blocked, Israel advances its genocidal violence UNNOTICED, aimed solely at forcing Palestinians out.
The shame of the century.

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

Likely raped to death.
A doctor. A stellar surgeon. The embodiment of Palestinian ethics.
Likely raped to death.

The racism of Western media who are not covering this, and Western politicians who are not denouncing this, together with the thousand other testimonies and allegations of rape and other forms of mistreatment and torture that Palestinians have suffered in Israeli jails, is absolutely sickening.
