LABOUR’S ALAN KELLY has today named his party’s new front bench.
He said the Labour Party is now focused on holding the new Taoiseach and his ministers to account. His reshuffle comes a week after Sinn Féin announced its new spokespeople.
Last week, the government’s new Cabinet was announced, as were the junior ministerial roles.
“Labour Party TDs and Senators will hold this government to account to ensure that all of our people have a fairer future.
“We have a dynamic team with a range of experiences from across political life and civil society. Labour TDs and Senators will bring energetic and fresh thinking to all issues that arise in the coming years.
He said the Irish people deserve a Labour Party that will raise the issues that truly matter to them. Kelly said Covid-19 has been a “great disruptor” and has shown us what Government can achieve when our people need the support of our State the most.
The party’s new line-up is as follows:

First I hope the woman is ok.
Second I hope the truck driver is ok mentally (I’ve been there. A woman crossing a three lane carriageway in the dark in dark clothing when the driving lights were green. I still suffer the ptsd).
I hope there are drivers with dash footage.
Now for the pedant in me Journal writers. 23:30pm. Really?!!!? It’s either 11:30pm or 23:30!!!
@Helen Downey: plus it happened at 3.30pm according to other sites.
@Helen Downey: This is what’s called ‘victim blaming’ Helen
@Jessie Ginger: No it isnt ffs. You have no idea what happened. Are you trying to tell me you never had to slam on the breaks because someone suddenly crossed the road in front of you?
@Jessie Ginger: arse h@@e u are
@Helen Downey: I have seen teenagers walking home in their dark school uniforms and black schoolbags from 4:30 to after 5pm at this time of year and its lucky that none of them was killed yet…
@Helen Downey: At least no one has started to say 23:30BCE???
Alot happenings in Dunleer in last week, bank machine, someone killed and now this. Hope she gets better soon.
I’ve said it before and Now,Unfortunately,I have to say it again.A moments lapse behind the wheel causes tragedy.Another loss,another grieving family.For the love of God! SLOW DOWN!!! Your Car is a weapon,if misused it will cause Carnage.
@The digenous: Sorry,not a loss please God. Hope this lady recovers. I half read the article and then got annoyed.But,my point remains.
@The digenous: who’s to say it wasn’t a momentary lapse in concentration where she stepped out without looking? Bit presumptuous of you to assume the truck driver is at fault here just because the lady is the injured party……..
@The digenous: It was a truck not a car and how do you know the truck driver was speeding or had a moments lapse?
@Barry Evans: WOW more victim blaming
@Jessie Ginger: youre a bit of an uninformed ignoramous
have your say
