Government is failing victims of domestic violence as the refuge crisis deepens. It is deeply alarming that almost 1,900 women were turned away from domestic violence services over a six month period. Behind every one of these figures is a woman seeking safety. 🔗 labour.ie/news/2026/06...

We cannot appeal to the morality of religious orders to pay their share of redress to survivors of institutional piece. Read my Op-Ed in @thejournal.ie today ahead of the debate on our @labour.ie Bill to compel institutions to pay redress this week in the Dáil. www.thejournal.ie/readme/catho...
Ivana Bacik: Religious orders must now be compelled to pay redress for child abuse
Appeals to Christian morality have not worked; it’s time these institutions paid their dues and were held to account.

Any Occupied Territories Bill passed by the Dáil must include a ban on trade in goods and services. Proud to stand with Frances Black & other Oireachtas members in support of a ban in services today. 🇵🇸
