Attending @unitetheunion.bsky.social's briefing today on the protection of workers during extreme weather events. 🌧️

With climate change fueling devastating storms, such as Eowyn and Chandra, emergency legislation to protect workers is more important than ever. 🌹

Government’s new rent bill will cause rents to rise and evictions to increase. 🏠📈

Families and renters across the country are already under enormous pressure.

Yet this Government is once again responding with confusion and complexity instead of real protection. 🤯

Renters left exposed by Government’s latest rental overhaul.

"This Government is dressing deregulation up as reform. Renters are being left more exposed, not more protected." @ivanabacik.bsky.social

Outside Leinster House this morning before our @labourparty motion on flexible work and commuter delays. ⚙️🌹

As Trump’s tariffs loom, I called on the Taoiseach today to introduce urgent measures to protect jobs and incomes, including a State-backed short-time working scheme.

Ireland’s economy is overly dependent on US multinationals, and years of growth were wasted without building resilience.

Jumping in on the #2016 Trend! How time flies... 🕰️🌹 @labourpartyireland.bsky.social

Time to protect Irish workers from Trump-led instability.
