Too many people feel unsafe in the Capital. We're working for a safer, more livable Dublin.
The Dublin
@fiannafailparty
group surveyed 1,500 people on experiences of anti-social behaviour. The results are clear.
We're committed to ensuring a safer city for all.
Sneak peak inside 75 new social homes on Dominick Street.
These beautiful homes have been built to the highest standard and families will hopefully be moving in before Christmas.
Please share with anyone you think would like to see inside 🏡

Only in FFs warped world is gifting public land to private developers to build €400k homes a good idea.
SF Cllrs didn’t vote against housing. They voted against FFs pro developer sweetheart land deals.
We want 100% affordable housing on public land & make no apologies for it!

Sinn Féin voted for our Affordable Housing plan yet continue to object to planning applications for new homes which delays new homes being built and prolongs the housing crisis for far too many people. 👇

This is huge help for people trying to get their own home and the fastest way to increase housing supply. Having championed this for years it’s great to see people using it to secure a home.

Incredibly generous sharing of personal tragedy, loss and strength. May they rest in peace.

Without commenting on the specifics of the case, we know that political parties need to support women. It is critical that all parties have pro active polices and supports in place for retention of women TDs.
Good to see Ministers visiting Dublins north inner city but increased Garda presence is needed when the cameras aren’t around too. Ministers must accelerate Garda recruitment to increase Garda resources, presence on streets and community safety.

From the 1930s when we cleared the inner city slums and built the first public housing there has always been more homes built when Fianna Fáil is in Government.” -
