- @paul_gavan speaking at the @PACE_News on the impact of Brexit on human rights in Ireland.
A couple earning just €27,500 a year between them are denied access to housing supports because of income limits that have remained unchanged for over a decade.
The limits are one harsh aspect of a cruel housing policy that has to the crisis we now face.

David talks about self-worth, depression and panic attacks, and the power of counselling.
The Finance Bill will be published next week but government have not yet confirmed that they have dropped their ludious plans to increase the cost of homes via their concrete levy.
A sensible, reasonable approach is required - this levy is not it…
This is powerful stuff.
Amazing win! #COYGIG

RT @OireachtasNews: Deputy Matt Carthy TD delivered Expressions of Sympathy to the Creeslough Community on behalf of Sinn Féin #SeeForYourself @mattcarthy
Such a horendous tragedy in Creeslogh. God help everyone involved. Thoughts are with those who have lost loved-ones, those still awaiting news in fear for the worst, and those who have been assisting the rescue efforts.
RT @PearseDoherty: My thoughts and prayers are with all those injured in the explosion in Cresslough. Devastating news.
RT @sinnfeinireland: Govt position on Mercosur trade deal "must go beyond lip service" – @mattcarthy
“The Mercosur deal offers nothing positive for Ireland. It is bad for our most important indigenous sector, bad for our overall economy & disastrous for the environment."

Oireachtas Agriculture Committee has launched report on government’s proposed Office for Transparency & Fairness.
Committee is clear that current plan is not robust enough to protect farmers & consumers.
A Food Regulator is needed!
My statement: https://www.sinnfein.ie/contents/64418
"There is a complete lack of transparency from the moment the food leaves the farmer until it reaches the shelves of the retailer" - Minister must heed Oireachtas committee demand for a Food Regulator with real teeth https://www.irishexaminer.com/farming/arid-40977284.html

In midst of a housing crisis that has merged with an inflation crisis - government have proposed a concrete levy that will increase cost of a building homes 🤯
Vote on SF motion to scrap this levy is tonight - time for backbenchers to stop whispering & to start speaking up!
It takes a special kind of stupid to propose hiking cost of building homes in the middle a Housing & Inflation crisis - but that is what government are planning.
SF will bring a motion to scrap the concrete block levy - all eyes on FF & FG TDs to finally side with common sense!
