Decision to close Dublin city centre’s only public toilets is a shortsighted move. It shows just how little planning or imagination exists at the heart of govt. We should be investing in infrastructure that serves the public good. www.socialdemocrats.ie/closure-of-d...

This is devastating. The conditions Mark Kelly describes are inhumane. Groups have been sounding the alarm about prison overcrowding for years now. How can we expect rehabilitation in environments that strip people of their dignity and basic humanity? amp.rte.ie/amp/1511051/

Not content with the murder of children, the targeting of journalists, and the annihilation of Gaza, Israel has drone-struck a flotilla bringing aid into Gaza. This is extraordinary - the Government needs to do absolutely everything in its power now to stop this. #gaza #palestine #FFC

The IHRA’s definition of antisemitism serves only to silence vital criticism of Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza. It must be removed from the program for government. #gaza #palestine #kneecap

The North Inner City is regularly left begging for basic amenities like bins, while millions is squandered into already polished areas. Dublin divided: 'Grafton and Dawson Streets don't need regeneration, they're already gleaming' jrnl.ie/6692063

Concerns raised by AGSI must be taken seriously. Govt cannot continue to bury its head in the sand while morale collapses and the force haemorrhages experienced members. We urgently need real reform, real investment, and real leadership. www.socialdemocrats.ie/government-c...

The Justice Minister's decision not to attend Garda Representative Association’s conference is an error of judgement. It's a missed opportunity to demonstrate meaningful support for gardaí at a crucial juncture in the history of the force. www.socialdemocrats.ie/gra-conferen...

GP Care for All staff were once again on Morning Ireland today, warning that their service is at risk of closure. They’re calling for a tax exemption under charitable status to keep their vital service running.

What a stunningly beautiful day to run around this great city of ours. Fair play to @DubCityCouncil for putting on a brilliant event and thank you to everyone who took the time give a little cheer along the way. Always a pleasure to run with @SanctuaryRunner 💜

If you’re wondering what happened today in Dáil Eireann, this man, gave two fingers to the Irish people. And this is who the government are altering all democratic norms for.

Documents show the Government decided to halt the opening of asylum centres in certain areas in response to violent protests and criminal acts. This marks a dangerous capitulation to far-right extremists. Where is the accountability for online incitement? www.socialdemocrats.ie/government-m...

This morning we have yet another headline warning us of prison overcrowding – a direct result of underfunded and mismanaged prison infrastructure. This is a crisis that we can’t continue to ignore. extra.ie/2025/03/21/n...

The Government’s failure to address online misinformation and the far-right is a dereliction of duty. These groups are organising online, and the lack of urgency to tackle this threat is deeply concerning. #Dublin #Misinformation www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

A functioning justice system doesn’t just react to disorder – it prevents it. Prioritising band-aid measures while ignoring the deeper issues in policing will not address the Garda recruitment and retention crisis. www.socialdemocrats.ie/band-aid-mea...

1/5 Today, the people of Gaza are mourning their families because governments around the world refuse to see their lives as worthy of protection. Israel has once again unleashed horror on a starving, besieged population bombing Gaza and killing 350 people in tents in ‘safe zones’.

Tonight’s Equality in Education meeting one thing was very clear - parents and advocates are fed up with the Government’s failure to provide essential supports for children with special needs and they are at their wits end with a system that is failing their children.

Findings from the Office of the Inspector of Prisons paint a stark picture of subhuman conditions in our jails. Some prisoners are forced to sleep on floors and eat their meals off the ground beside unpartitioned toilets. Overcrowding must be addressed. www.socialdemocrats.ie/shocking-con...

Shocking interview with the Taoiseach on @RTELateLateShow just now- referencing Tony Gregory as a precedent for his grubby back room deal with Lowry- The Gregory Deal was published & available for all to see… Publish your deal with Lowry if you wish to make that comparison.

Heartbreaking news from Stoneybatter in the last few hours. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the entire community affected by this. A sincere thank you to our emergency services and the Gardaí for such a quick response this afternoon.
