Totally unbelievable that in a cost of living crisis the NTA admits that their proposed fare hikes will lead to LESS people using public transport.
This is only force more people into their cars, stuck in traffic.

Energy providers have hiked prices up again this year. It’s another bill for workers and families, without any support.
FF/FG must protect households from these price hikes by increasing investment in retrofitting schemes so more workers qualify.
That is the only way we can protect households.

Working families haven’t seen an increase in Child Benefit since 2011. In the same time, the cost of living has spiralled out of control.
The Labour Party will be putting forward a real alternative budget that builds a workers’ republic and protects the most vulnerable.

In a cost of living crisis, we should be encouraging more people to use public transport and making it more affordable.
Government must not allow this 15% price hike to go ahead. Workers and families can’t take anymore.

Another update on recent and current encampments on the Curragh 🐎.
I am continuing to raise this with the Minister for Defence to ensure that the Curragh is given the respect and protection it deserves.

Raising the need to have more dedicated wheelchair spaces in Irish Rail services. It’s a big issue particularly on the Kildare to Heuston line which is constantly overcrowded.

Improved accessibility sought for Kildare wheelchair users on trains
A TD said that it ‘isn’t fair or just’ that wheelchair users have limited options while onboard trains

How much do you put on a life?
This is heartbreaking news for people with Friedreich’s Ataxia and their families. These families are worth more than a cruel and cold cost benefit analysis of whether or not their life is worth the money needed to purchase the life extending treatment Skyclarys.

Only 4.4% of those in receipt of Carer’s Allowance are also getting the Fuel Allowance.
Given the fuel crisis and the increased energy needs of caring households I am calling for the Fuel Allowance to be extended to all those on Carer’s Allowance now.

Today I voted no confidence in the government because this is about so much more than fuel price.
The people coming to my office, the working people, are just surviving, from week to week, bill to bill.
Government must start listening and start delivering for workers and their families.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael did the bare minimum to help struggling households with the high price of fuel. That little effort is now being eroded with prices increasing to €2.20 and higher in some areas.

Remote working costs nothing for government to implement, can easily reduce traffic congestion and save workers who can work from home time and money.

Rising prices drive up cost of commuting
US President Donald Trump has claimed that the war in Iran will come to an end in two or three weeks but for now, the cost of fuel looks set to keep rising.

No such thing as a free education under FF and FG.
Parents have seen exam fees reintroduced, and now price hikes in school transport fees. The Minister for Education must explain the ongoing price increases for education, at a time when families are already experiencing immense financial pressure.

What part of free education is free?
Exam fees. Voluntary contributions. School uniforms. These school costs now have parents at breaking point.
🔴 Abolish exam fees and voluntary contributions
🔴 Make school transport free
🔴 Make the Back to School Clothing Allowance universal and increase it
