Tá mo Litir Um Thogcháin as Gaeilge le leámh anseo: Seanad 2025 Litir um Thoghchan - Senator Alice Mary Higgins
That Seanad Éireann: deeply regrets and condemns:
- the killing of over 28,000 Palestinians in Gaza in recent weeks;
- that over 11,500 of those killed have been children, over 17,000 children have been left unaccompanied because Israeli attacks have killed their entire families;
Dear Friends,
Welcome to my latest newsletter. Through my work in recent months, I have sought to place social and environmental care at the heart of political decision making.
I have introduced new legislation to replace the current narrow commercial mandates of both Coillte and Bord na Móna with a mandate for nature. I have pushed for progressive change which delivers a just and sustainable transition in areas including cultural and archaeological heritage, energy and economic policy and gender equality. I have continued to champion decent work and successfully brought a motion to the Seanad on precarious work in higher education.
