There are over 400.000 homeless children in Europe.

And yet, there are those who tell us that profit must rule.

We cannot accept that - it should offend us, shame us all.

No more housing chaos!
No more homeless babies!
No more shame! ✊

Plans to move Rotunda maternity hospital to Connolly in Blanchardstown abandoned Maternity hospital will instead apply for permission for extension at current Dublin city centre site

Good to see Gov finally concede their relocation policy was a real obstacle to the Rotunda’s plans

They could have avoided the mess by listening to the hospital last year

I raised all of this with the Taoiseach @ 3:30pm today!

Taoiseach basically justifying the use of unilateral force because of vetoes at the UN Security Council.
