Huge turnout for the 3rd protest by HSE employees, in Drogheda & Tullamore. The determination at the protests is growing & growing. Frontline workers know the Pay & Numbers Strategy is the recruitment embargo under another name. And they won't stand for it #ServicesAreSuffering

10 years ago today 120,000 marched on water charges. We need same again on housing but our unions need to pull the finger out. Mass movements like water can make a right wing government surrender and discipline the likes of Sinn Féin when they hesistate. Remember our power.

Since last week The Ditch has twice alerted government to the illegal carriage of munitions to Israel on a FedEx flight route from Memphis to Cologne We can confirm that yesterday’s flight – which flew over Ireland – was carrying IDF munitions for delivery to Nevatim air base

“The nightmare of an apocalyptic world has come. Machines hunting down people. Weaponized AI is already being used in Gaza. The Palestinian people are the experiment for this insane and deeply flawed and dehumanizing technology.” —American actor Mark Ruffalo

Proud moment today helping a couple of zionist motions get defeated at the @forsa_union_ie conference Referenced "human shields"+ "the Israel-Hamas conflict." May have seemed a sensitive issue to some delegates but I'm delighted we passed various concrete pro-BDS motions instead

Riders are grateful for the public’s support, just so you know, @Deliveroo have offered riders a pitiful €10 each for those who work today instead of striking. Workers don’t want crumbs, they want dignified pay and working conditions, not constant reductions to standards. @SIPTU

Huge majorities of Irish people understand Israel is committing genocide in #Gaza & Apartheid against #Palestinians, and are demanding sanctions. Yet @LeoVaradkar, @MichealMartinTD, @EamonRyan & Irish govt refuse to act, or even clearly & publicly name these international crimes!

This was not part of the plan for A quiet Saturday afternoon but when you come across it the least you can do is stand in solidarity.

Ireland’s housing system is broken. We need a stand-alone, enforceable right to housing that supports progressive and effective housing policies across governments. We need a referendum! #HomeForGood

The government love this. They love an excuse to demonise poor people. They love that they can now shift all conversation away from structural inequality and their refusal to build houses and to give tax breaks to vulture funds

This is what demonising an entire population of immigrants will get you
Today in 1974, 6 innocent people became the latest Irishmen to experience British "justice" when they were falsely accused of the Birmingham bombings. It took 16 years of torture, fabricated evidence & forced false confessions before the British police conspiracy was uncovered.

At some point in the next day or two Varadkar will say the Gardaí have to be supported against the far right and far left, because he's always more concerned with damaging the left than protecting immigrants.

Let no Irishman throw a stone at the foreigner; he may hit his own clansman. Let no foreigner revile the Irish; he may be vilifying his own stock…..

Smash the far right. Immigrants and asylum seekers are welcome in this country. Be they from Palestine, Sudan or anywhere in the world. The organised racists are nasty but we are much more than them,never forget this.
