So lucky to be part of an amazing group of women in #Kildare working for #GenderEquality & #Justice. At a time when so many women are struggling through unimaginable suffering in conflict we must not give up hope for a world where all women everywhere can live equal, free & happy

To help householders with rising energy costs, three separate electricity credits totaling €600 will be paid in the coming months. This #Budget2023 has responded to the pressure that families are under this year, while making the right investments to secure our #energy future.

Really positive to see the continuation of the 20% cut in public transport fares, and 50% Youth Travel Card Reduction. #Budget2023 This is the direction we need to keep traveling in - and more.

#Budget2023 responds to the huge need for progress in welfare and employment supports - 80c rise in the minimum wage, €12 increase in social welfare rates from the 1st Jan. Also, Autumn & Christmas bonus social welfare payments. €400 fuel allowance lump sum payment.

The oil and gas companies in the world will make €3.9 trillion this year (International Energy Agency) - that’s twice last year. Even a small percentage of this as part of a broader innovative funding base for #LossAndDamageFinance would make a world of difference. COP27 #cop27IRL
