Senator @Love1solidarity and I had a positive meeting today - looking forward to future collaboration.

RT by @lukeming: Defective blocks make homes unmortgageable.

The government’s redress scheme does not guarantee restoration of mortgageable condition. How can affected families trust the scheme if it does not secure their future?

Looking at his mug collection, I'm worried about the show's supply. No wonder he has to drink from paper cups when he's invited on nowadays ☕️😂

Maybe the media should stop libelling people. Then they wouldn’t sue. Hardly that complicated. When a newspaper tells a lie then the lie hangs around. Regardless of the apology.

I spoke this evening in the European Parliament about a report on child poverty. Fine Gael politicians voting in favour of public services in the EP but failing miserably at providing them in Ireland.

If Israel refuses a cease fire in Gaza, will impose sanctions and ban the import of its products, we will cancel agreements with it, and we will demand that the ICC hold it accountable and conduct a full investigation into its war crimes.

RT by @lukeming: Dear @sinnfeinireland @SocDems @labour @AontuIE (Not PBP, PBP are asking these questions),

You guys are the opposition, you need to opposition.

This is from the Supreme Court in the recent #Karshan decision:

278. While the question of whether a decision of the Social Welfare Deciding Officer of August 2008 that similarly positioned drivers were not employees generated any form of estoppel was not before this court, it strikes me at a very general level that Karshan would have a legitimate grievance if it were to be penalised by one arm of the State for conducting its business in accordance with the law as interpreted and applied by another department of government. Whether that can or cannot be said to be so will depend on the facts of the case before the Social Welfare Appeals Office, the specific agreements the subject of that decision and the exact composition of the assessments. That may also be relevant when it comes to the costs of these proceedings, which have now extended over four separate tribunals..."

Despite losing, #Karshan is going to avoid costs and penalties because of something 'wrong' the Social Welfare Appeals Office and senior SW management are doing, what could that possibly be?

OH LOOK, @ReginaDo told you all exactly what the dept was doing 'wrong', and not just wrong 'UNLAWFUL' and that they have no intention of stopping.

Precedential group and class decisions to determine the employment status of group/classes of workers are unlawful.

He is fulfilling his civic duty by ignoring the prohibitive law.

Are they going to lock an elderly man up?
