Our electricity grid needs an upgrade so it can handle all of the new inputs and outputs expected from it over the coming decades of renewable energy growth. Minister @smytho explains the huge investments we're putting into modernising our grid in #Budget2025 #GreensInGovernment

It is the same when you look at the cost of living measures in this budget. They are targeted at helping parents with young children as well as those on lowest incomes the most. #GreensDeliver #BabyBoost #FreeTravel #ChildBenefit #EnergyCredits #ChildCare

Nobody should go into debt when having a child. We're delighted to see our baby boost proposal come into effect. Along with a €15 increase for maternity, paternity and parent's benefit, new parents will be €835 better off in the first 6 months after birth. #Budget2025

The tax credit for renters increased by €250 last year and increases by €250 again in #Budget2025 . We have led on cost rental housing in this Government to bring rents down to manageable levels. This is a vital step as we continue to address this crisis. #GreensInGovernment

Nearly finished! Most will get #Budget2025 online but some physical copies still need to be printed. Thanks to civil servants in Dept of Finance for working through the night to print the budget.

I grew up here! South Park in Deansgrange is very similar to what I remember growing up, yet it’s great to see how many homes now feature solar panels and have been retrofitted, making them warmer and more comfortable for families. Really nice to speak to residents here over

The Black Valley in County Kerry was the last place in the country to get electricity - taking 50 years to arrive. Today, #BlackValley residents can now enjoy fibre broadband - as fast as you'd get in any city. We've managed to bring high-tech to this rural community, all while
