Deputy Tully has called for more to be done to alleviate the current situation here in Cavan and Monaghan.

The housing crisis is having heart breaking consequences for real people who are the heart of this crisis.

Deputy Tully says many are paying unaffordable rents.

It's a perfect storm of lacklustre recruitment combined with a crisis in retention.

The public has been asked to avoid the Emergency Department at the hospital due to high numbers in attendance.

Deputy Tully said that households are under huge pressure from the cost-of-living crisis and need support with their energy bills.

Parents in Cavan and Monaghan have shared their concerns with me about meeting these costs.
