Another woman murdered by a man.
Gender-Based Violence is spiralling out of control yet domestic violence services (€7.9m) received less state funding than greyhound racing(€19.8m) in Budget 2025.
FF/FG and their backers have failed and are failing women. Enough!
“The #neuromapping project phase two research puts the focus on service users age services providers
The sad reality is that there has historically been underfunding. Services must be designed around the needs of the user and their families.”@AnneRabbitte
@rtenews Of course it can be used for day to day spending it’s taxpayers money not the Government- Start by paying carers and people with disabilities €350 a week the rate this Government decided was the minimum people could live on during COVID @MissEllieN@mc_elhinn1
My local CDNT team has over 270 families waiting on lists for years. There are staffing problems. But in lots of cases. The team are helping emergency situations of heart broken, worn-out parents who can't cope anymore. Their only option is A&E. So the list hardly moves. FACT.
Our response to the publication of the @ncseirl policy advice on inclusive education.
We have got to make sure no child is excluded. A comprehensive implementation plan is needed to realise the vision of all children going to school together. https://t.co/qV9c0U96M4
In my graphic, I depict some of the vacant sites and the 4,666 entire Airbnb houses/apartments in Dublin City. According to Ireland's November 2023 homeless report, there are a record 13,514 people, including 4,105 children, who are accessing emergency accommodation. The 2022 Census reveals that there are 166,752 vacant homes and 66,135 vacant holiday homes across the country. Out of the vacant homes, almost a third (48,387) have been vacant long-term since 2016 and remain unused. Additionally, the current salary required to buy a new home in Dublin is €127,000, even a TDs basic salary of €108,987 would not be enough.

Precious little re autonomy, dignity and choice in #budget24 for the 1200+ younger disabled people in nursing homes, the 2200+ in congregated settings and many thousands of disabled adults infantilised in family homes by the state with no housing or support options.
Today in Seanad Éireann @OireachtasNews I move Motion to Debate & Oppose Govt Green Paper on #Disability which propose to Assess 225,000 #Disabled Citizens on Capacity to Work. This is contrary to #UNCRPD -LISTEN here 👇to plight of thousands of Disabled Citizens & Carers
“Disabled people, many of whom live in poverty, feel #Budget2024 didn’t address their core needs” reports @AilbheConneely. Great to see @IrishWheelchair highlighting the need for long-term solutions to tackle disability poverty on @rtenews.
