Over 300,000 households are in arrears on their electricity bills, a record high, just as energy companies are set to hike up prices even further while making eye watering profits.
FFFG & Independents refuse to take on the energy companies and end the rip-off to get costs under control.
We need to make life more affordable for people. That means long term solutions that tackle costs and provide immediate help with a cost of living package in this year’s budget.
Last week’s presentation in the Oireachtas AV Room on #RareDiseases, including Neurofibromatosis, NF, was powerful and moving. The message is clear, proper supports, and investment in research can’t wait. Time for action.
Great to catch up with constituent and #NF Warrior Gillian Dunne Minnock and friends.
Sinn Féin TD for North Kildare @ReadaCronin has said today’s announcement that Intel is to cut nearly 200 jobs from its Leixlip workforce is a crushing blow for employees and their families, and called on government to do all they can to support workers

Fianna Fáil appointed a newly elected TD to the Oireachtas artificial intelligence committee – even though he holds stock worth thousands in an AI company co-founded by a man who “conducted classified intelligence work” for the Israel Defense Forces.

Comhghairdeas to the Kildare Senior Hurlers on their incredible campaign in the Joe McDonagh. First time to win it! Incredible!
Jubilant scenes in Croke Park.
@KildareGAA hurling team is the story of the season.
Up the Lilies 🤍
Big community showing yesterday in #Celbridge. People here have been relentlessly campaigning for almost two years with a simple request for equal access for all to #SaveCastletown.
OPW and Minister Moran continue to ignore.
Big thanks to Jean Flanagan, the Celbridge Save Castletown Gate Protectors Gate Protectors and everyone who turned up yesterday.
Ar scáth a chéile a mhairfimid!
A well-deserved standing ovation and round of applause today from all in the Dáil as Cara Darmody completed her 50 hour protest at Leinster House.
Thousands of children have been left behind by this govt as they fail to provide them with Assessment of Needs.
Govt must treat these children with dignity and respect. Maith thú, Cara. Treise leat! ✊️
Over 15,000 children waiting on an Assessment of Need have been failed by Govt.
Tomorrow, Sinn Féin, with other opposition parties, will bring forward a motion demanding that children receive their assessments within 6 months - as required by law.
FFFGLL have turned their backs on children. They must stop breaking the law and deliver the support families deserve.
Today we mark the Nakba - not as history, but as a living, ongoing catastrophe. Ethnic cleansing, apartheid, genocide. The Nakba never ended. We stand with Palestine not just in word, but in action. No peace without justice. No justice without liberation. Saoirse don Phalaistín
Today, we commemorate Nakba Day. Just over 75 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced and evicted from their homes. Inaction from the EU on the genocide in Palestine has been a disgrace, contrary to their supposed values of peace and solidarity. In fact Ursula Von der Leyen recently demonstrated she cared more about burning trees than burning Palestinians.
Ireland can take real, tangible actions against the Israeli regime by enacting the Occupied Territories Bill and inspecting any airplanes that travel through Irish airspace. Shannon Airport should not be used as a pit stop for munitions on their way to wreak havoc on the people of Palestine.
Seasfaimid le muintir na Palaistíne inniu agus i gcónaí.
RTÉ ignored our protest demanding real coverage of the genocide in Gaza, now they spend more time interrogating a rap band than reporting on mass graves and bombed hospitals. Daniel Lambert said it plainly: it is a genocide. Shameful priorities
