⁉️How much does your weekly shop cost?? 🛒 The price of the weekly shop has exploded and people are having to pay more for less. 📉 Forget about loyalty prices and vouchers and force retailers to drop their prices instead. 🧾 @conorsheehan93 speaking in the Dáil.
There are no words to fully describe the horrors in Gaza. Israel has turned Gaza into a living hell. Let’s isolate Israel economically and do all that we can to bring this horrendous war to an end. Let's enact the Occupied Territories Bill. labour.ie/news/2025/07/2…

Labour TD Rob O'Donoghue has backed calls for Basketball Ireland to boycott a fixture against Israel and has called on the government to show their support for the boycott dublinpeople.com/news/sport/art…
🇵🇸 We will never stop talking about Gaza. ✍️ Please, write to your Government TD and ask them to enact the Occupied Territories Bill - including services as well as goods. 🪧 Join local protests to show solidarity. 🗣️ Call for international isolation of Israel. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸




Today, there are almost 3,500 additional people living in homelessness than this time two years ago. We will look back on these figures with shame in years to come. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil must pull every lever to ensure everyone has a safe and secure roof over their head.

Government should introduce a weight based tax for SUVs. If you can afford 80-100k for an Audi Q7 PHEV or similar, you should not be able to tax such an unnecessarily big and dangerous car for €170. A Toyota Corolla hybrid costs €190 to tax. Where’s the fairness in that?
Having one person living in homelessness is one person too many. We are urging Government to take real action for people on the housing crisis. Too many have been left behind by the failed policies of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil - @ivanabacik

Once more for those in the back - Metrolink is not only an airport line It serves 15 other stations, connecting 127 schools, 3 universities, 5 hospitals, and making over 175k people and 250k jobs accessible by foot to a stop. An estimated 18% of passengers will use airport stop
🛒 Why won't Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil tackle the cost of doing the weekly shop for people? 🧾 Food prices in Ireland are the second most expensive in the Eurozone. 🔗 It doesn't have to be this way. Read more on our website labour.ie


Labour TD Duncan Smith has introduced Dáil legislation which would ban the Central Bank of Ireland from selling Israeli bonds dublinpeople.com/news/northside…
🇵🇸 Enact the Occupied Territories Bill now. 🇵🇸 Full statement @DuncanSmithTD on our website: labour.ie/news/2025/07/2…

Increasingly desperate pleas from aid workers & journalists in #Gaza as we witness a Genocide through Starvation taking place before our eyes. #CeasefireNow
Palestinian text, photo and video journalists working in Gaza have said desperate hunger and lack of clean water is making them ill and exhausted, affecting their ability to work rte.ie/news/2025/0723…
I will be calling for the critical skills work permit list to be opened to bus drivers and mechanics as a priority 🚌#publictransport
The Government has announced the opening of a consultation period to allow stakeholders make submissions on the work permit occupations lists rte.ie/news/ireland/2…
🕵️🤠 Labour's @conorsheehan93 went undercover to expose the scams in our supermarkets. The loyalty price penalty used by some retailers is outrageous. It's time to rein these cowboys in‼️ How much extra are you paying on your weekly shop? Let us know. 📥️
There is literally no detail in this NDP. Very hard to evaluate it on that basis. Great that we have lots of new money to spend; but we already knew that. It’s more like a “National Vague Outline” than a National Developmental Plan!
€2bn for Metrolink is hardly a vote of confidence that the project will be substantively progressed in this decade. It’s supposed to take 6 years & be operational in early 2030’s. €2bn is only 8%- 16% of the estimated total cost. #Metrolink

Despite no mention in the #NDPReview, we hope part of the €7.55bn for the Department of Education & Youth will support youth work infrastructure. #YouthWorkMatters
Delighted to meet with @DublinCommuters today 🙌 Had a very productive chat with @jasoncullenfilm and @joshellul about how to get Dublin (and Ireland) moving 🚌 🚃 🚇
🦷 Dental services have been abandoned by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil - Labour's health spokesperson @marie_sherlock TD. 6th class dental appointments are now taking place in 6th year. It's a disgrace. ⤵️ labour.ie/news/2025/07/2…
