Integration of migrants into Irish society is something I’ve worked on all my political life.

Thanks to Joanna for sharing the story of how we’ve worked together since she was in school with her wider Polish community here.

We need a response to the climate crisis that is fair and that includes everyone - Niamh Hourigan

After the wet, warm spring we've had, we know our climate is in serious trouble.

We need to protect the most vulnerable, we need to act now.

Congratulations to Dr. Lekha Menon Margassery selected in Cork City South Central this evening 🌹🌹

Government have accepted that their housing targets are too low.

We will never see the level of supply that is needed under Housing for All because the plan is fundamentally flawed.

It is not good enough to agree in the Chamber that more is needed, we need to see action.

Thanks a million to Aodhán Ó Ríordáin and The Labour Party team for joining me on the doors in Blackrock this morning🌹🌹🌹
Great chats about traffic, housing and education. Lots to follow up on!

Fine Gael must push von der Leyen to call for ceasefire - Niamh Hourigan 🇵🇸

❝The bombardment of Gaza is horrific. The failure of the European Union to push for peace, the very value the Union itself was founded for, is unbelievable.

Justice has come too slowly for the Stardust families - Ivana Bacik

Though we all wish it could, no apology, no matter how sincere, can turn back time.

We must do better to ensure that no family ever has to endure again what the Stardust families have endured for so long.

Some good news! Today the government has provided €225,000 for the provision of a new mobile library for Waterford. I first raised this in 2019 when I proposed that the council would apply for a new mobile library. We are now to see the new mobile Library service in Waterford.

Labour's Ivana Bacik has called out Govt for failing to deliver housing.

❝Less than a month ago the Taoiseach committed to increasing targets to 250,000 – but this looks to be engineered for electioneering purposes rather than any increase in delivery.

Our current system when it comes to abusive drug use is not working.

It's harming poorer, more disadvantaged communities.

We need a change.
