Emer Higgins @FineGael, tried to spin @sinnfeinireland policy of not selling public land to private developers.
Luckily I was up next to put the record straight and how she along with NAMA & private developers have delayed housing.

Real concerns for Irish sovereignty as EU Migration and Asylum Pact operational date approaches – @mattcarthy

"Sinn Féin is clear that it is the people of this country who are best placed to make decisions on migration based on our unique challenges and circumstances."

Sinn Féin is bringing forward a Dáil motion on Tuesday 9th June to support calls to ‘Stop the Game’ between Ireland and Israel.

It is unthinkable for Ireland to play Israel at home or away while Israel is engaging in genocide, occupation and apartheid against the Palestinian people. Israel cannot continue to act with impunity. Israel must be sanctioned.

Ireland has to take a stand. The FAI has to take a stand. The Irish government has to take a stand. #stopthegame

Almost €100,000 spent by Fingal County Council to dispose of Nitrous oxide canisters over two years – @MarkWardSF

"The government is allocating millions to dispose of canisters, but they are doing nothing to regulate nitrous oxide."

Growing up in O’Devaney Gardens, we had a framed copy of the 1916 Proclamation hanging proudly on the wall at home.

As a child, I heard words like “cherishing” and “equally” but I didn’t feel like I was enough, because we were constantly being told there wasn’t enough funding to invest in our community.

Today, people in Dublin Central are still being told they aren't enough. Enough is enough.

On Friday, May 22nd, Vótáil Janice Boylan No. 1. We are enough.

[Sinn Féin @sinnfeinireland]

Great to speak alongside Gillian Sherratt last night in Dublin Central with families about the parties work on disability - For far too long, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have failed people with disabilities and their families. People are being left waiting for assessments, supports, services and dignity while this government continues to ignore their voices.

People with disabilities deserve far better than what they are getting from this government.

On May 22nd, you can send a message that enough is enough. Vótáil Janice Boylan No. 1

[Sinn Féin @sinnfeinireland]

Tonight, Dublin's inner-city communities have once again been badly let down. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil just voted down Sinn Féin's Motion in the Dáil to fund the regeneration of the flats and to put residents' voices at the heart of the plans.

That's why the by-election on Friday May 22nd is so important. The only way to make sure your voice is heard and put maximum pressure on this disgraceful government is to vote Sinn Féin's Janice Boylan No. 1. Enough is enough.

Government must end years of neglect and fund regeneration of Dublin flat complexes – Janice Boylan

"The refusal by the Minister for Housing James Browne to fund the regeneration of flat complexes is a reckless decision that undermines years of engagement."

490% increase in nitrous oxide canisters collected by Dublin City Council – @MarkWardSF

“What will it take for the government to act on this serious issue?”

Government to spend €3m on disposal of nitrous oxide canisters this year – @MarkWardSF

"This issue and cost would not arise if the government has supported my legislation to the sale of nitrous oxide."

Nitrous oxide canisters have environmental risks and cause millions in damage – @MarkWardSF

"My legislation, which the government has delayed, would regulate the sale of nitrous oxide and reduce the issue of misuse."

Bin charge increase unsustainable for Dubliners – @MarkWardSF

"The process of returning waste management to public control can begin with having one bin company per local authority."

Sinn Féin's Mark Ward has accused the government of not taking the sale of nitrous oxide seriously.

It comes after a study found young people in Ireland are increasingly being diagnosed with spinal damage caused by the recreational use of laughing gas.

Another damning report on nitrous oxide harms in the week government delay vital legislation – @MarkWardSF

"Our communities can see a visible increase in its use. Government has its head in the sand, and our young people are paying for it."

[Sinn Féin @sinnfeinireland]

Government must reverse decision to delay Nitrous Oxide legislation- @MarkWardSF

"This delay by government will will only allow these risks to continue. It will also allow unscrupulous drug dealers to take further advantage of our young people."

[Sinn Féin @sinnfeinireland]

Sinn Féin’s Bill to regulate the sale of nitrous oxide will come before the Dáil today.

The government has failed to act as the misuse of nitrous oxide, particularly among young people, is on the rise and having a serious impact on health and wellbeing in our communities.

The government must back this common sense legislation to protect our communities. @MarkWardSF
