Families need real help against the enormous jump in the cost of living.
We're asking Government to:
👉 Extend the fuel allowance by four weeks
👉 Provide double social welfare payments
👉 Cap prices of home heating oil
👉 Introduced targeted energy targets

The consular assistance from the Department of Foreign Affairs in the Middle East has been absolutely superb. Our missions are not designed for mass evacuations but the way they have stood up has been brilliant. 🇮🇪
Total imported waffle!
The outrage over the Dublin zoo promo smacks of how mental social media has become, of you really should have more pressing things to be worried about as a TD and better a culture war than confront any of the real issues people face like housing, poverty, cost of living…
I have never seen the housing crisis so bad. A person with stage 3 cancer about to be evicted into a hostel. This is a rich country!
One year of James Browne see’s homelessness rise by 10.6% - @conorsheehan.bsky.social
"On Sunday, new rental rules come into effect. We have been warned repeatedly that these changes will lead to higher rents and a return to economic evictions.
labour.ie/news/2026/02...
The new rental rules are so confusing that James Browne can’t even explain his own rental bill properly on Morning Ireland.
I remember multiple families being asked to deliver eulogies during the removal prayers in one local church years ago.
They should obviously be allowed but also time limited.
Minister can’t spin away soaring rent.
“Instead of freezing rents. Minister‘s Rent Hike Bill will cause rents to soar by at least 10%. Today’s Daft report is desperate, but it will pale into insignificance given what is to come.” @conorsheehan.bsky.social

Really hope Paudie wins Dancing with the Stars! 🕺 Doing it for the dads of ireland. #DWTSIRL
This will not stop with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
Government ducks responsibility as homes hit €500,000.
"In a shock to absolutely no one, house prices are climbing once again. Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael must stop ignoring evidence and start delivering the homes people need." @conorsheehan.bsky.social

Proud to back the €90 bn Ukraine support loan last week.
Solidarity with Ukrainian men, women and children has never been more important.
Disappointed, but not surprised, that Sinn Féin turned their back when it mattered most.

Simon Community report confirms HAP collapse.
"Renters will pay the price for the Government’s rental changes. Rents need to come down, not rise even higher." @conorsheehan.bsky.social

The removal of the passenger cap must result in additionality for Shannon and the Midwest. We need connectivity to another European hub.
I agree in principle and have an open mind on the ban. My concern is that we will do the ban and little will happen do deal with the actual problem.
Banning u16’s from social media is not the panacea some are making it out to be. Talking about it non-stop is a distraction and letting social media companies off the hook. They are making money off pushing harmful content at young people!
I spoke about the Government’s ridiculous proposal to criminalise cyclists who don’t wear helmets 🪖
The fact they even proposed this betrays their complete lack of understanding of what makes our roads unsafe for cyclists & pedestrians 🚗🚙 @labour.ie @dublincycling.bsky.social
Currently debating Government’s RTB Amendment Rent rocket 🚀 Bill which is going to cause rents to go up 15-20%. Renters will pay for FF and FG’s policy failures. ❌
Labour TD @conorsheehan.bsky.social on the need for an improved flood warning system, highlighted by the effect of Storm Chandra.

Labour calls for rent brake in Government’s rent rule changes. 📈
"New Government rent changes will push rents higher.
A rent brake is essential." @conorsheehan.bsky.social
➡️ labour.ie/news/2026/01...
This is complete crap!
It will do the opposite of what it intends to do.
If you want to make the roads safer for cyclists, reduce the speed of the thing that could kill them 🚙 🤷♂️
Congrats to Helen on her selection. Unfortunately a bad chest infection and strep throat kept me away this evening. Cannot wait to get up to Galway and campaign for Helen #GaillimhOgbu 🌹
I have today written to the Chair of Labour’s National Executive Committee seeking permission to enter the selection process for a candidate for the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election.

Labour calls for action on Shannon oversight.
“Blind trust is not oversight. Ireland needs real inspections at Shannon Airport now.” @conorsheehan.bsky.social

In schools in communities I represent in Limerick. A hot school meal means a child gets fed. In most cases the food is decent quality and nothing I wouldn’t eat myself!
Renters face chaos under new Government plan.
"The Minister has created a system so confusing and so fragmented that it will be impossible to enforce." @conorsheehan.bsky.social

Hard to believe that Joe Biden was inaugurated 5 years ago today. “Democracy is precious, democracy is fragile.” Seems like another world….
