It is an essential product to prevent skin cancer. It is not right that this essential product has the highest rate of VAT applied to it. We need sun cream to be made more accessible and affordable, we also call for free sun cream dispensers to be installed in more public parks.

There’s a weather warning for high temperatures this week, the sun is shining bright and people are out enjoying the nice weather after weeks of rain and clouds. But in this weather we need to be protecting our skin with sun cream.
SCRAP THE VAT ON SUN CREAM
Sun cream saves lives by preventing Skin Cancer. It is essential during this weather warning. Adding 23% VAT to the price puts it out of reach for many.

Communities shouldn’t have to live in fear of violence because of events that have nothing to do with them. We’re thinking today of those in Belfast who don’t feel safe to go outside right now, who are worried their house might be the target of the next arson attack, who are facing racist abuse.

We can’t allow horrific and tragic incidents to continue to be used as an excuse by the far right and bad actors to cause violence and destruction in our cities, we’ve seen it in Dublin, we’ve seen it in Liverpool, and we’ve seen it across the past three years in Belfast.

This bill will allow Jack Chambers to bypass the Climate Act whenever he wants, and shows a serious lack of support to our climate and our environment.
It really says something stark about the Government's approach in terms of climate action. Why is it that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael in the previous Dáil were all for this but now they are no longer in government with the Green Party, they think they can ditch these provisions? It shows a real lack of ongoing commitment to climate action.

Cian O’Callaghan TD April 14thVoted in favour of critical infrastructure bill May 13th 2026...specifically section 7 of the Bill, which allows for the provisions of section 15 of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 to be disapplied. As the Bill digest states, contrary to the Minister's opening remarks, this in effect would mean exempting critical infrastructure projects from being consistent with the most recent climate action plans and strategies...

Funny how much can change in just one month? The Socdems have completely changed their tune on the Critical Infrastructure Bill and the damaging impact it will have on our climate. Here are some of them speaking out against this bill last month, before voting it through yesterday.
Where do the Social Democrats stand on climate and the critical infrastructure bill?

I am extremely concerned by what the Minister and this Government are doing in the area of climate action and now in the area of climate law. They are dismantling years of work and future generations will bear the cost. Section 7 of the Critical Infrastructure Bill provides for a disapplication of section 15 of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 in specific cases. 

Jennifer Whitmore TD April 14th 2026
Voted in favour of critical infrastructure bill May 13th 2026In this new Bill there is no step change away from this outsourcing and the overreliance on the private model of delivery of infrastructure. Why are we in the situation we are with the children's hospital? Why are we in the situation we are with the lack of infrastructure? It is in large part because the State has handed over the delivery of infrastructure to the private sector.

But it won't be. The draft strategy has been with Seán Canney for 9 months. Even if it's approved soon, there's nothing to suggest that it won't be implemented at the same glacial pace. Meanwhile, they've cancelled the pilot which was supposed to deliver cameras last year.
