Government admits climate targets in tatters 🌍 “The longer Gov puts off real climate action, the higher the cost to the public and the greater the impact on our environment and economy. That is not a near miss. It’s a massive failure.” @ciaranahern labour.ie/news/2026/01/07/go…

Ivana Bacik on her 'tetchy Taoiseach' jibe and Simon Harris's 'destabilising' Finance gig

Labour is open to doing business with the Greens and the SocDems, but when it comes to Sinn Féin, there are difficulties.

On a day where the European Parliament voted to support safe and legal abortion, the majority of FF and FG voted AGAINST even having a debate on our laws here. The O’ Shea review is over 2 years old and still no update or progress on making sure our laws work for women.

I guess this is what it felt like in the 80s when voting on women’s rights 🤷🏻‍♂️ Didn’t think I could be shocked in the Dáil, but I was tonight when so many Govt TDs voted to shut down any debate on progressing women’s rights. We @labour won’t let this stop us 🌹

Older people & vulnerable disabled people-they’re been used as pawns in the game being played by the Minister & Pharmacists It’s so wrong Phased dispensing & blister packs- it’s the dinosaur of medical technology and it works. We need more of it not less irishtimes.com/politics/2025…

New rules around medication dispensing delayed after political backlash

Some patients were facing charges of €20-€50 in the new year for getting ‘blister packs’ from their pharmacies, Dáil told
