Social Democrats Louth Issue 1 Volume 1 | Page 3

There has to be a better way It’s clear now that we don’t have the ‘new politics’ promised at the last election. Instead we have: 7,000 people who are homeless 140,000 children living in consistent poverty A housing market where people can’t afford to buy or rent 1 in 8 of us on hospital waiting lists and An ever-increasing cost of living. There is a better way. In the social Democrats we know that a fairer and more decent country is possible. Social Deocrats is Ireland’s newest political party, led by Roisin Shortall T.D. and Catherine Murphy T.D. and together we can build a better Republic.
