Noel Grealish in the past, claimed that people seeking asylum in Ireland are here to "sponge off the system".
In 2008 Darragh Calleary opposed a direct provision centre in his area because it would "drive tourists away".

Fast forward to this week & we've a situation where some people who demonised asylum seekers, left them in dreadful conditions, where Covid19 could spread rapidly, are having a jolly in Galway while the virus runs riot in Direct Provision centres.
Thread. The news of a Kildare lockdown is extremely disappointing news for citizens and to all the small businesses who have followed the health regulations and restrictions in #Kildare.

Clearly, some of the meat factory workers involved in these high-infection rates live in difficult physical circumstances. Workers are people. They are not statistics. We cannot go on exploiting people like this in the name of profit... /
The devaluing of the unions by the mé féin culture of Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael is having a serious, negative impact on worker safety and conditions in the industries affected.

We know what the #transport contribution to CO2 emissions are - 19.5% of emissions. it's the solutions we need now. Stuffing towns with #electriccars is not a solution, it just means cleaner traffic jams. @CathMurphyTD
Crucial missing piece of capital region's transport infrastructure is the 3.2 miles of #Dart underground tunnel that links all rail stations. Talked about for decades never built. Time to build now-low interest for capital borrowing & employment generation #Dublin @CathMurphyTD
#DartUnderground would be gamechanger. Would quadruple no. of passenger journeys by rail and free up road surface for #cycling lanes and link up outer suburbs and commuting counties - #Kildare #Meath #Wicklow
