3. #EU PARLIAMENT Clare Daly and Mick Wallace have defended their vote against an EU resolution condemning the invasion of Russia, saying that they vote based on their stances rather than “playing to a gallery”.
4. #COST OF LIVING The Government has been criticised for not cutting VAT on home heating oil, which is soaring in price, as Taoiseach Micheál Martin says the price increases are beyond their control.
5. #WEATHER A Status Orange rain warning is currently in effect for five counties as cold, wet and windy weather is set to continue.
