4,775 children are homeless— & we expect figure is set to rise again Friday.
@labour’s Homeless Families Bill introduced in 2018 to prioritise the need of children at risk of homelessness still sits ignored.
There is no urgency from Gov to end the scandal of child homelessness.

The #OccupiedTerritoriesBill must be passed before summer is out 🇵🇸
Seven years after it was first proposed, the Occupied Territories Bill is being discussed by Government.
Ireland must lead for the people of Gaza and isolate Israel internationally.

Well done to @AliFieldLab on raising the debate on Children without school places at DCC council tonight.
We simply cannot sit back and wait whilst these children are being denied their basic rights.
We all need to fight for these children and their families.

Work earlier! My colleague, the epic political correspondent @louiseburne_ , and I at a demonstration outside the Department of Education today ! @RBoydBarrett @mulvanypeopleb1 @AliFieldLab
Cllr Alison Field retweeted
Well done to the parents standing up in everyday they can so their Children can access education to meet their children's needs.
@IBIKEDublin dropped by to lend support. If you are around Dublin City the parents will be camping out all night outside the Department of Education.
Education is a Human Right not a privilege.

Why does the government have to go to the WRC to effectively tell them to do the right thing?
If Gov really meant what they say about section 39 workers, they wouldn’t put workers through this 👇
Solidarity @siptu and all s39 workers across the country
Cllr Alison Field retweeted
Section 39 workers, who provide vital care services in communities across Ireland, deserve pay parity.
It is in the Government's hands to avoid strike action. Negotiations in the WRC must deliver fairness and equality in pay for these workers.
Cllr Alison Field retweeted
Please support these families today by coming out and standing in solidarity with them as they protest for their children to have a school place.
They have no school place.

Absolutely shocking
22 parents in Dungarvan told their autistic children don’t have a place in school as ‘there are no places’. One tells me lottery system at a school where a Garda Superintendent oversaw the pulling of names to ensure no question of bias later. Story on @wlrfm. Here’s Rebecca.

Labour calls for action on disability care failures
"The HIQA report makes for distressing reading, exposing how Sunbeam House Services failed to put in place protections for residents. I support Inclusion Ireland’s call for swift action" @LauraHarmon01

Labour leader @ivanabacik says An Taoiseach must use any meeting with President Donald Trump to be very clear that Ireland stands with the “international rules based order.”
