Friendly reminder: Workers' rights aren't just for Christmas. 🎄
Why not give yourself the gift of collective bargaining and join a union this Christmas?

Front row seat for the selection convention of @marie_sherlock in Dublin Central as our general election candidate for @labour
What a privilege to canvas for this committed advocate for workers rights who not only strongly talks the talk but walks the walk 🌹 – at Dublin City, Ireland
Great community event in Stoneybatter this evening organised by @marie_sherlock to deal with issues relating to how we address the increase of violence and crime in the north inner city.
Great to see the turnout from the community and looking at community led responses to issues – at Dublin City, Ireland

Increasing the Local Property Tax primarily raises revenue from the highest income households.
The figure below shows that nationally, about a quarter of the revenue from abolishing the 15% rebate would come from the highest income tenth, and just a third from the bottom half.

Labour leader @ivanabacik has called for fair pay for all young people.
❝As students take up summer jobs in the coming weeks, I’m calling on Government to stamp out the unfair practice of allowing sub-minimum rates of pay for our young people.

What a day!!
Dubliners voted to elect a campaigner who has always stood on the strength of our diversity in how it makes us stronger by overwhelmingly rejecting the ideas of hate and division 🌹
A massive congratulations to @AodhanORiordain on a fantastic victory

949 = local election seats
2 = combined seats won by Irish Freedom Party, National Party, Ireland First & Irish People
0.21% of all seats
Add Steenson & Pepper
0.42% of local seats.
Yet these groups are allowed to torment and intimidate communities year in year out???

This is an important and hugely positive development…

Just home from two very long days in the RDS with both local and European elections. A really great day for @labour with great gains in old labour heartlands. Looking forward to following more tomorrow and hoping to see @AodhanORiordain elected and returning to the S&D group 🌹
What an amazing outcome and incredible reaction in Galway to the very fantastic Helen Ogbu elected for @labour in Galway 🌹
This is the Ireland I want to live in, a compassionate, inclusive one. One which @labour believes in
Congratulations to Helen Ogbu and to Ireland ❤️🇮🇪
