RT @AgrilandIreland: Deputy Matt Carthy said the passing of the amendment will allow plans to ban the sale of turf to proceed https://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/dail-to-vote-on-turf-sale-ban-amendment-today
Barry has chance tonight to stand up for his hard-pressed constituents.
This is his way of saying that he won’t take it.
Result of his actions = 1. Turf sale ban coming 2. Home heating costs rising next wk 3. No gov support for low paid workers seeking to move from fossil fuels.
RT @CowenBarry: Notwithstanding Min Ryan going back to drawing board on regs to improve air quality vis a vis solid fuel use,SF motion in race to populism …
RT @sinnfeinireland: The Government’s plan punishes communities who rely on turf, instead of introducing measures to support communities in transitioning away from this form of heating in a way that is fair and sustainable – @ClaireKerrane @Martin_Kenny @conwaywalsh @mattcarthy
RT @EOBroin: .@RTBinfo rent index for end of 2021 just out…
Rents continue to spiral upwards.
We need an emergency ban on rent increases on existing & new tenancies, a refundable tax credit worth a months rent, huge investment in cost rental & more enforcement resources for the RTB!
RT @sinnfeinireland: The government needs to ditch this mad-cap, half-baked, unfair attempt by Eamon Ryan to ban the sale and gifting of turf, says @MaryLouMcDonald

RT @EnnisSinead: Fantastic farmers meeting last night in Hilltown saleyard
Big thanks to @mattcarthy & @mc_mla for informative contributions and overview of how Sinn Féin will continue to stand up for our rural communities across Ireland
This is devastating news. Maria was a champion for her son Gavin after he was killed by loyalists. So sad that she has gone to her rest before receiving truth & justice. The campaign will continue.

Enjoyed engagements today in East Derry with @CArchibald_SF & @KathleenMcGurk and at farmers meeting tonight in S Down hosted by @EnnisSinead & @CathyMasonSF
The May 5th assembly election could bring seismic change- SF has the right politics & v impressive candidates to deliver.
RT @CArchibald_SF: Great to have @mattcarthy join us on the doors in Ballerin and Kilrea this afternoon.
This election is an opportunity to deliver real change and people are keen to have their say on 5th May.
RT @EOBroin: This confused leaking is unhelpful & counterproductive.
Govt must be honest & accept their housing plan has been overtaken by events.
We need a more ambitious plan that meets the housing needs of all, from the homeless to the refugees & all in between. https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-40857149.html
RT @MacManusChris: I was delighted to visit the Europe Direct Centre at Clones Library alongside my colleague @treanor_pat
& see first-hand their important work. At EU level I'll be working to ensure that these important services are protected into the future.

RT @sinnfeinireland: Government must reverse proposed ban on sale of turf - @mattcarthy
"It would hit those already struggling on lowest incomes and in rural areas hardest, while failing to go after the major polluters."

In our latest podcast, @loreillysf talks to Rachel Coyle about the future of work post-pandemic and the various challenges facing workers today.

When no words are enough we can only stand in solidarity.
While our idiotic government are playing games they still don’t understand that this is about people just wanting to be able to heat their homes.
Government actions have made that unaffordable - turf is the last available option for many; banning it now is a slap in their face.
RT @irishexaminer: Eamon Ryan: ‘No agreement’ to pause ban on sale of turf https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/politics/arid-40851221.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&…

Fine Gael should just employ @PearseDoherty as their legal advisor - he proves them wrong weekly at this stage 😳
Also, they should just actually give families a break by implementing Pearse’s proposals rather than half-measures.
RT @MarkAgitprop: What has happened in the 6 days since the Tánaiste told @PearseDoherty in the Dáil that "it is not lawful, not legal" to reduce VAT on "one the lowest VAT rates on energy in Europe" and wha…
Government have been forced to make another cost-of-living announcement.
Once again they fell short.
Again they did nothing in respect of home heating oil (which gov will increase on 1st May).
Nothing on childcare costs - nothing on housing costs.
Emergency budget needed now!
