Hard-pressed households need support. 💶📈
While Gov placate limited sectoral interests, where are the supports for PAYE workers?
Today in the Dáil I called on the Gov to:
💶 Introduce targeted energy credits.
🧑🏭 Support pay rises for workers.
🌍️ Invest in the renewables to insulate our economy.
My question to the Taoiseach today on #CostOfLiving - labour.ie/news/2026/04...
An energising first day at the #GlobalProgressiveMobilisation in Barcelona.
Meeting with socialist, social democrats, feminists, trade unionists and environmentalists across the world.
Now more than ever must we come together to defend democracy & human rights.
A brilliant meeting yesterday at Leinster House with the amazing @annadaly.
We discussed progress towards miscarriage leave for women with early pregnancy loss.
More to come!
#ReproductiveHealth ❤️🩹
With the legend that is Lelia Doolan outside Leinster House at the conclusion of her remarkable 220km march from Shannon - at 91 years of age no less!
Her activism for peace and neutrality is inspiring.

Across 2 emergency packages from Government, PAYE workers have been left high and dry.
The reality is stark: people do not know how they are going to pay their bills.
Over 320,000 households are in electricity arrears
Workers cannot be left behind as Government placates sectoral interests.
Government failing PAYE workers in energy crisis. @ivanabacik.bsky.social
"Families and workers are under sustained pressure. Labour has set out fully costed proposals for targeted, income-linked energy credits to support those most exposed. Government must act now."

Workers squeezed while Government props up failing energy model - @ciaranahern.bsky.social
“Instead of fixing a broken system, they are relying on short-term fossil fuel subsidies without any strategic plan to reduce our dependence on oil and gas.

Labour will vote no confidence in the Govt
It's about energy bills and fuel, yes.
But it's also about exorbitant rents and mortgage costs, about house prices, childcare, education and healthcare costs, waiting lists and more.
It's an out of touch, conservative coalition we have no confidence in.

Really good news for European politics with defeat for #Orbán & the Far Right.
A welcome result - rejection by #Hungary of the autocratic politics of Putin & Trump - at last.
Our response tonight.
Labour will be voting No Confidence in the Government this week.
On Wed morning, we called on Gov to engage urgently then with representative organisations & for an end to the blockades.
The Gov must do more to address rising costs in this #Energy & #CostOfLiving crisis.
As protests continue into 5th day & talks resume today, Gov must resolve this & urgently ensure an end to the crisis.
Blockades must be lifted immediately as we have said - increasing disruption being caused to families & communities already struggling in a #CostOfLivingCrisis
An essential call, as we see the horrific civilian death toll in #Lebanon caused by Israel’s brutal bombardment over recent days.

There is a growing vacuum in leadership on migration, which is being filled by misinformation and fear.
Labour have launched the Together We Thrive campaign to reset the public discourse, recognise the contribution of migrants and call for a more inclusive conversation.

Delighted to host our #TogetherWeThrive roundtable event this morning with key stakeholders.
