The manager of Magowna House knew for three months that asylum seekers would be housed there. But nobody else was told. Not the local community, not local politicians, not even Clare Immigrant Support Centre. How was this handled so poorly?

Last week's violence in Dublin has left our migrant population fearful for their safety. Those events do not represent the majority of Ireland. Migrants are welcome here. A diverse society only benefits our culture and our communities.

Imagine trying to frame your political party as the party of home ownership when 12 years of Fine Gael in government has resulted in the complete opposite 🤯. I don't know who they think they’re fooling, but I know people have had enough of this ridiculous spin.

I don't particularly like speaking out about this but it needs to be acknowledged to be addressed. And it is essential it is addressed if we want more people to go into politics.

Record levels of homelessness. Over 100,000 vacant homes. More than 1 billion euro of the housing budget left unspent. I don't think there is anyone left in the country who has faith in this government's housing policy.

One of the most basic requirements of a functioning society is the provision of secure and affordable housing. Housing is supposedly the biggest priority for the government. And yet it is its biggest failure. The decision to end the eviction ban is indefensible.

Saying that migrants are the cause of rising homelessness is a textbook dog whistle. The biggest correlating factor with rising homelessness in Ireland is not rising migration - it is Fine Gael in government.

I think the government is severely underestimating the strength of feeling on this issue and the support the survivors have from the general public. We have to keep up the pressure. Please share and contact your TDs if you haven’t already: #RTEUpfront

The Rural Independents’ Dáil motion on immigration is nothing more than a series of dog whistles. They are pandering to the far-right, stoking up divisions and spreading fear and misinformation. They should be ashamed of themselves. Full speech:

We all agree on the need for more forestry but this is not the way to go about it. €25 million of public money is being used to help a private company make quick profits with few tangible benefits to the Irish people.

We must do whatever we can to stop the massacre in Palestine. That means using every means we have to exert whatever influence we can. I asked the Taoiseach to request the suspension of Israel’s trade deal with the EU, on the basis of the human rights clause in the agreement.

In 2014, Fine Gael promised to tackle the housing crisis. Nine years on, their policies have led to an unmitigated housing disaster. Tonight, the government will vote to remove the eviction ban, the only protection thousands of people have against homelessness.

Leo Varadkar says the Opposition needs to understand it takes time to build housing. But we all understand that. The question is how much time does he want? Fine Gael has been in power for 12 years now and things have only gotten worse.

In the last election, Fianna Fáil promised to deliver 50,000 affordable purchase homes. They delivered less than 1,000. If we vote for more of the same, that is what we will get.

This debate went on for so long we didn't get to have the final vote on the Mother and Baby Homes redress scheme. Instead it will happen in the next few weeks. So there is still time for the government to do the right thing. Please contact your govt TDs:

The EU leaders recently released a statement. It contained no criticisms of Israel's savagery and could only call for a ‘humanitarian pause’ of the slaughter in Gaza. Why is no-one shouting STOP?

The election is about to be called. I don’t believe the policies and the politicians that have brought about the crises we face can get us out of it. This election is a choice. We can choose a new approach.
