What happened to the promise of reopening the Intreo Centre on the Navan Road? “I fear that this is a closure by stealth,” says Labour Councillor Declan Meenagh. dublininquirer.com/2024/05/01/wha…

Happy May Day!
Solidarity to all working people on #InternationalWorkersDay

Time to stamp to egregious employer behaviour and reward employers who do the decent thing.

My thoughts 👇 jrnl.ie/6367973

Deputy Mattie McGrath compared An Garda Sïochána to the B Specials in the Dáil just now.

A disgraceful comparison that he should withdraw & apologise for.

Gardaí lay down their lives for the State. They deserve better in the National Parliament than Rural Independent abuse.

We can never be complacent about worker health and safety

52 people have lost their lives in workplace incidents since start of 2023

Many more injured

The Law can only do so much
Real time prevention comes from employers engaging with workers & unions.

Brilliant to see this new Bohs jersey with Better in a Trade Union

The winning of a match
The achievement of better pay
The attainment of a fairer society

All depend on the power of the collective.

That’s what trade unions are about & it’s what Bohs as a co- op is about 💪

Good to see EU finally move to stamp out bogus self employment

At the Oireachtas media ctte today Fine Gael & Sinn Féin engaged in trade union bashing and professed great interest in bogus self employment in RTÉ.

Let’s hope we see that same enthusiasm when legislating 👇

As a fellow mild stroke veteran - so important for the President to be speaking out about this and to remind people that this can happen at any age.

80% of China’s cotton comes from Uighur region & there are other areas with poor record

Sadly forced labour is FAR from thing of the past

So glad that families will finally get recognition for their lost loved ones.

I’ve met many families whose stillborn baby is not recorded anywhere

Great that stillborn criteria will be updated

That register will be retrospective

A privilege to visit Druid Theatre today and to get this gorgeous book based on performance of Sean O’ Casey trilogy plays.

And a treat to listen to Mick O'Dea interviewed on RTE Arena while I’m driving home from Galway this evening!

Go see molesworthgallery.com/artists/57-mic…

Great to be in Galway today with Helen Ogbu and my aunt Phil!

Honoured to speak at the SHEroes symposium.

So much to do to promote diversity in politics. So proud of Helen’s trailblazing work.

It’s never been more important to make football a political issue.

Football lifts communities right across Dublin but facilities are not up to standard.

Elect an MEP for Dublin who takes football seriously. ⚽️⚽️
