The Programme for Government commits to “reduce the student contribution fee over the lifetime of this government,” to make further progress on increasing access to education for young people, started by Fine Gael in the previous government.

Today we wrote to Minister Lawless, and asked whether he feels young people can “play the hands we’re dealt”. His U-Turn on student fees is a slap in the face of young people, a betrayal of the PFG commitment, and is a stark contrast to the progress made by @SimonHarrisTD on fees

Young Fine Gael are calling for:.- 9% VAT rate for hospitality .- Reduction in excise duty.- Abandon Minimum Unit Pricing.- Reform of licensing laws. To make nights out more affordable and support our night time economy. #CheaperPints #LongerNights.

RT @jamiemalone_: Tune into @RTERadio1 @drivetimerte today after 4.30 when I’ll be discussing @yfg calls for #CheaperPintsLongerNights.

New figures show that Ireland is now the second most expensive county in the EU - with alcohol and hospitality prices the among the highest in Europe. Hear from President @jamiemalone_ renewing our call for longer, cheaper nights!

Dáil Éireann passed a motion to restore our bill to make spiking a stand alone offence. It is further progress in our #PricklessNights campaign and our bill can go to the floor of the Dáil. Thank you @barrymward for sponsoring and @ReginaDo for helping on this in the 26th Seanad

We are sadened at the loss of former YFG President John Mullins, pictured below with former President Eoghan Gallagher. John inspired us with his dedication to the party over many years, his passion for his community, and leadership in business. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

How long will we continue to let our sovereignty be violated before we properly invest in our Defence Forces. YFG has long called for the Government to properly resource Óglaigh na hÉireann. We will soon be launching our plan for how to bolster Irish Defence.

You can’t be in the Social Democrats and not in the Social Democrats at the same time 🙄.

In this moment of such grave danger for Europe, will we continue as one of the EU’s richest countries to condemn Ukraine’s betrayal—while not funding even a single shell of ammunition? 2/2.

⁦@FineGael⁩ ⁦@dfatirl⁩ Surely now is the time for Ireland to step up and give real support to Ukraine? 1/2
