Canvassing in Trim today and got a very warm response.

Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 27, 2024 ~ It's already too late.

'rising temperatures are contributing to thawing permafrost and therefore enhancing the biogeochemical activities that worsen climate change by releasing greenhouse gases...'

Real average wages are lower than they were 15 years ago.

Disagree fundamentally with this analysis.
Our society has been broken by Fine Gael & Fianna Fail housing & economic policy.
I hear & see it every day.
The upcoming elections will show a desire for a new politics in Ireland. irishtimes.com/opinion/2024/0…

Handed in my nomination for European elections for Midlands North-West today! Joined by my family, I am very proud to be standing for Social Democrats to work at EU & Irish level on:
- solving the housing & homelessness crisis
-achieving real progress on Climate in a socially just way

13 years of Fine Gael failures can’t be fixed with a new leader

We still have the same Govt with the same failing policies

It doesn’t have to be like this

Ireland needs real change

Vote Social Democrats and let’s build a better future

I can not wait for The Left Bank SD May Day 2024 event 💜

'Build-to-rent' should be given its proper name - 'build-to-rob' from Generation Rent.
Investor fund housing with unaffordable rents.
Urbeo is one such fund. But the real question is why is the Irish Government investing public money in this extortion for global wealth funds?

Still time to register for our May Day event here socialdemocrats.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=…
We have some super speakers lined up Rory Hearne Sinéad Gibney Susan Doyle Laura Bambrick Jesslyn Henry and May Day Badge Appeal for Medical Aid for Palestinians See you there

I warned the Gov & Minister for Housing homelessness would increase if they lifted the eviction ban last year.
But they put the interests of landlords & investor funds before protecting renters from homelessness.
This tsunami of trauma is the result.
Reintroduce the eviction ban.

Dom Gradwell Bobby McCormack Rory Hearne Excellent stuff & big well done
Fair to say, if all public meetings with such a serious cause were of such calibre, the world would be a better place
Well done, one & all

Delighted to be front and centre of this amazingly positive event, hosted very professionally by Bobby McCormack and honoured to share a platform with one of the good guys Rory Hearne

Apartments ready to go in the middle of #Sligo town yet we haven't seen anyone live here for years.

Another investment?

This is #vacantireland

Devastating to hear Tara Ćirić note that ALL #Traveller children involved in Maynooth University research on school attendance here in Limerick reported feeling that their schools hate them. What a weight to carry #stigma

How can we solve the housing crisis and create a fairer future?
We will be setting out the solutions in this public meeting on Monday night in Maynooth.
I will speaking along with
