The cost of living crisis is also a health crisis impacting on people's physical and mental health and creating further inequalities. So many are worried about paying energy bills, energy companies are making huge profits. Government must put a windfall tax on energy companies.

How can it be right that politicians who are landlords also get to vote on legislation about rents and housing? Is this not a conflict of interest? @rtenews #rtenews

Our recent @waterfordspraoi festival was amazing. I share my thoughts and memories on attending it since it was founded 30years ago. Again this year so many amazing performances. Fun, laughter and something for all the family. My column in this week's @munsterexpress #Waterford

How is it not feasible to pursue those developers and builders who built those defective apartments? So again the tax payers is expected to pick up the tab while those responsible get away with this. @rtenews #rtenews

On top of the cost of living families are now having to face finding the money to get children back to school. In my column I ask, 'What happened to free education' in Ireland? To start with the government needs to provide #freebooks for children. @Corks96FM @PatKennyNT
