Young people in Ireland likely to be first generation to be worse off than their parents

Speaking at the University of San Francisco this week Mary Lou McDonald said young people today are likely to be the first generation in Ireland to be worse off than their parents. Locked out of opportunity, and locked out of homeownership. That’s not acceptable.

Each generation must have the chance to make it, and that principle will be the driving force behind Sinn Féin in government.

Is dóichí go mbeidh an mhuintir óg in Éirinn ar an gcéad ghlúin a bheidh níos measa as ná a tuismitheoirí

Agus í ag caint ag Ollscoil San Francisco an tseachtain seo dúirt Mary Lou McDonald gur dóichí go mbeidh an mhuintir óg in Éirinn ar an gcéad ghlúin a bheidh níos measa as ná a dtuismitheoirí. Níl deiseanna acu agus níl tithe acu. Níl sé seo inghlactha.

Caithfidh seans a thabhairt do gach glúin agus beidh an prionsabal seo taobh thiar de rialtas Shinn Féin.

Sinn Féin call for energy prices to be reduced and capped

Sinn Féin this week called for energy prices to be reduced and capped, in order to ease the burden of the cost of living crisis for workers and families. 

Pearse Doherty said other measures to be proposed by Sinn Féin include income-linked cost of living cash payments, and a once-off double payment of child benefit.

Éilíonn Sinn Féin go laghdófaí praghsanna fuinnimh agus go gcuirfí uasteorainn orthu

D’iarr Sinn Féin an tseachtain seo go laghdófaí praghsanna fuinnimh agus go gcuirfí uasteorainn orthu, chun ualach na géarchéime maireachtála d’oibrithe agus do theaghlaigh a mhaolú. 

Dúirt Piaras Ó Dochartaigh go bhfuil costas ioncaim a bhaineann le híocaíochtaí airgid mhaireachtála i measc na mbeart eile atá le moladh ag Sinn Féin, agus íocaíocht dhúbailte aon uaire ar shochar leanaí.

Student housing crisis forcing students out of education

Students are being forced out of third-level education through the Government’s failure to tackle the student housing crisis.

A recent Sinn Féin survey of students found that 66% are considering dropping out of college due to this crisis.

Students deserve better. There cannot be any more dithering from Government – Action is needed NOW!

Géarchéim tithíochta do mhic léinn á mbrú as an gcóras oideachais

Tá mic léinn á mbrú as an gcóras oideachas tríú leibhéal trí theip an Rialtais dul i ngleic le géarchéim tithíochta na mac léinn.

Léirigh suirbhé a rinne Sinn Féin ar mhic léinn le déanaí go bhfuil 66% ag smaoineamh ar thitim amach as an gcoláiste mar gheall ar an ngéarchéim seo.

Tá níos fearr tuillte ag mic léinn. Ní féidir leis an Rialtas dul ar aghaidh leis an moilleadóireacht – Tá gá le gníomh ANOIS!
