I was delighted to receive the Edward Kennedy Health Policy Award last night for the Sláintecare plan to improve the health service. Thanks to the Centre for Health Policy and Management at TCD for this incredible honour.

Thanks to the residents of Rialto for the warm welcome and chats yesterday. Lovely sunny day. Headed to Daddy’s cafe afterwards for a coffee, it was buzzing! #LE24 @SocDems

[Danny Alvey Social Democrats for Wicklow @danny_alvey]

Thank you so much to @WhitmoreJen and all the volunteers who joined me for my first day of canvassing this morning here in Wicklow Hills in Newtown! Really great positive engagement from everyone we spoke to and nice to bump into some friends and family too!

Every year, it gets harder for students to find accommodation. Many have to defer.

In 2015, the Higher Education Authority warned of a “worsening” crisis in student accommodation.

The government didn’t listen.

8 years later, it is worse than ever.

Latest homeless figures 12,847...

I remember when 10,000 for Eoghan Murphy was seen as the political death knell.

I had a great time tonight talking to the Irish @SocDems about corporate power, the cost of greed crisis, and why we need to democratize the economy 💪
