Students and their families are feeling the rising cost of living more than most. The Green Party believes that Budget27 should deliver a sustainable funding model for third level institutions and relief to students by raising the family income threshold from €65k to €120k for free fees

STATEMENT ON IRELAND/ISRAEL
FIXTURE
The entire FAI senior management and board need to consider their position. They have catastrophically mismanaged this situation from the outset. Rather than listen to and understand the mood of football fans, they have outsourced the decision to play onto the individual conscience's of the players. It is massively unfair to put this call on the shoulders of young players at the beginning of their careers. Making players vote the day before a match only divides the team.

While a Culture Card voucher for young people is to be welcomed, the Government cannot be giving with one hand and taking with the other. Senator Malcolm Noonan spoke this morning on one of the biggest barriers to cultural participation for young people - public transport access.

First day back for Dáil Éireann Climate change matters to people-it matters to everyone who has bills to pay because it affects the price of fossil fuels we're so dependent on. This term we're focused on short and long term measures to alleviate the cost of energy for households.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are trying to put the blame of these public transport fare increases on the National Transport Authority. Make no mistake - these fare increases are a political decision and a result of this Govt's disinterest in public transport and their disregard for its users.

This is not fairness. This is not leadership. And it is not acceptable. I am deeply disappointed and angry about the new citizenship rules. How can forcing people to wait eight years before they can even apply for citizenship possibly solve the problems facing Ireland? 🧵

The Minister for Transport (also the Minister for Climate and the Environment fyi) was on radio this morning trying to justify the public transport fare hikes. These hikes are a political choice made by the Department of Public Expenditure, this is not about improving public transport services.

The Government has chosen to increase public transport fares, chosen to make passengers pick up the bill during a cost of living and climate crisis. Today @rodericogorman and @feljin_jose spoke to every media outlet in the country to express their frustration at this decision.

Green Party / Comhaontas Glas @greenparty.ie · 03/09/2026
To raise public transport fares by 15% in the middle of a cost of living crisis is a slap in the face to these commuters, who see the hundreds of millions that Government has spent protecting some sectors from inflation costs, yet they are expected to pay out more, every day, every journey.

If there "are less electricity connections available for new housing" because of data centres, then the Government need to seriously explain why they want to build even more centres across Ireland. #SpeirGorm @thejournal.ie
Politicians across the United States are now learning the lesson that the Green Party and others have been telling the Irish Government – that they need to be upfront with the public about the trade-offs that opening large numbers of data centres involves,” the Dublin West TD said.

Yes, data centres are an important part of modern economies, but there are real problems created by the fact that right now in Ireland, 23% of our total electricity generated is swallowed up by them. This creates higher prices for ordinary consumers… It also means less electricity connections available for new housing.”

Thanks Paul Hosford and the Irish Examiner for reporting my comments on reduced funding for the tenant-in-situ scheme. "Scheme" or "policy tool", no one cares. It works — Genuinely "accidental" landlords get to sell up. Tenants stay in their homes. The state grows social housing. Everyone wins.
