What a shameful legacy.
A new homelessness record has been set for 24th time in 28 months. There has never been a more important time to get out and vote. #GE24

“The Social Democrats are the face of a change in Ireland “Women have babies. That’s just reality and it’s life. We have to support them if we want more women to run.” @WhitmoreJen responds to media queries about @HollyCairnsTD’ pregnancy.

Over this election campaign, it's become clear that the outcome is anything but certain. The Social Democrats have momentum behind us. On Friday, vote Social Democrats No.1

Is this the most pathetic tweet of the campaign? After nearly 14 years in government, the best Fine Gael can offer young people in Dublin is a digital image of a house.

Simon Harris belatedly apologised to the woman in Kanturk about his rudeness and dismissal of her concerns. He really should also be apologising for the appalling neglect of the needs of thousands of children with disabilities and their families. His priorities are so wrong.

The only thing that will change the disgraceful provision of disability services in this country, is a change of government.

It is shocking that with a population of 20,000 people in Finglas west and south, there isn’t a single GP practice. We were due to have a @GPCare4All practice but new tax rules have blocked this. Stephen Donnelly and Jack Chambers need to sort this out urgently.
Improving access to GPs in disadvantaged areas is a key priority for @SocDems Charity-run practices, such as GP Care For All, must be enabled to continue their services in Summerhill & expand into Finglas West. I am determined to ensure communities have access to healthcare

Simon Harris has attacked the Soc Dems for ruling out tax cuts. “Simon Harris is clutching at straws and is clearly struggling to explain how FG can propose large tax cuts and massive spending increases during this election campaign.” https://t.co/RsO4vqQ50I

By far the most incisive and revealing analysis of the reckless and irresponsible behaviour of FG, FF and SF in this election. Gerard Howlin nails it in today’s IT. The false promises being made to Ireland’s under-40s. https://t.co/d6iZH481HW

Today we launched our Health and Social Care policy. The full implementation of Sláintecare within the next five years will be a red line issue for the @SocDems in any programme for government negotiations. @RoisinShortall @RoryHearneGaffs @WhitmoreJen

We have new ideas and new policies that can rejuvenate and breathe life back into Dublin, our capital city. We would tackle the blight of dereliction and use a higher rate of vacant property tax & funding to provide new homes and living in Dublin city centre

Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have consistently ignored the evidence when it comes to income adequacy. That’s why there is so much disadvantage and exclusion. The MESL figures don’t lie.
