It was decided that only collective action could resolve these issues and a group chat of tenants an CATU members was created to progress this. CATU Waterford plans to conduct further organising efforts with the tenants to build a bigger and stronger group capable on taking on the landlords.

Mould, damp and structural issues were common across all tenants, many experienced severe flooding during this winter and are suffering health damages. It was decided that only collective action could resolve these issues and a group chat of tenants and CATU members was created to progress this.

The meeting started with an explainer about CATU and the work done in Mount Suir so fair by the branch. The floor was then opened up to residents to speak on how they’re being impacted. #HousingCrisis #Waterford #MountSuirApartments #TenantsUnion #Homes

Recently, CATU Waterford held a public meeting with Mount Suir Apartments residents about the outrageous conditions they face. #HousingCrisis #Waterford #MountSuirApartments #TenantsUnion #Homes

With the recent update about the scrapping of the shuttle bus across the new bridge in Waterford City, I decided to make mockup of what a better transport solution could look like! The Waterford Luas: #Waterford #Ireland #IrishPolitics #WaterfordCity #WaterfordLuas #Sustainability #Decarbonisation

More delays to Waterford City's Inner Ring Road Bike Path, supposedly due to safety concerns from those who haven't cycled for decades. Apparently, a 2-way bike path is 'unsafe', despite being best-practice all across Europe. So I decided to email councillors: #Waterford #Ireland #IrishPolitics

Great to see parties taking this issue seriously! We must force private, for-profit social media companies to turn off their recommender systems - so we can regain freedom to choose what we see online, like we had until 2014 when the doom spiral began! www.fm104.ie/news/fm104-n... @pbp.ie

Scotland often reminds me of what Ireland could be without @fiannafailparty.bsky.social and Fine Gael in power. Incredibly similar cultural and legal system, but with: 1) Much better public transport (especially electrified trains)

Thoughts on US illegal actions in Venezuela: #Venezuela #VenezuelaCrisis #Trump #Oil #Democracy #Freedom #Ireland #IrishLeft #IrishNews #Socialism #EcoSocialism #Left

Whatever you think of Maduro - and lets be clear that he is a dictator who did major damage to his country and had a major part to play in the millions of Venezuelan refugees fleeing the country - the US have just conducted an illegal invasion sovereign country, and kidnapping of its head of state.

Merry Christmas! 🎄 Hope ye are all enjoying any time off over the holidays!

I was recently on Déise Today to discuss my article 'Solving Waterford's Traffic Problems' - thanks to Damien Tiernan and WLR FM for having me on! @wlrfm.bsky.social youtu.be/XSkLr1cSkog #Waterford #WaterfordCity #Traffic #PublicTransport #WaterfordLuas #BusConnects #Ireland #UrbanDesign

Last week, I was invited onto Kildare Today live with Hannah Kelly on KFM! We discussed the Housing Crisis, my article on the Journal about the gov's "how to cope with moving home" video, and being in CATU. youtu.be/h9U71SXp5ZQ #HousingCrisis #Ireland #TenantsUnion #PublicHousing #EcoSocialist

My article on @thejournal.ie calling for toxic algorithms on social media to be banned! jrnl.ie/6901718 #socialmedia #australia #ireland #eu #socialmediaban #bansocialmedia #recommendersystems #democracy #farright #extremism #fascism #irish #irishpolitics #eupolitics #europe #toxicalgorithms

"With Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s combined vote share plummeting ... to just 43.1% last year, the next election will likely prove key to whether the century of FF-FG rule has finally ended. Videos like this are indicative of the attitude which is hastening their collapse" 😀 #IrishPol

So I wrote another article for @thejournal.ie, this time highlighting how the Government's recent 'how to cope' video is an insulting distraction from their failures: www.thejournal.ie/readme/young... #HousingCrisis #Ireland #IrishPolitics #FiannaFáil #FineGael #UniversalPublicHousing #Emigration

Really glad to see this event in Galway this evening. Props to People Before Profit Galway for organising this. Link to watch this live today at 7:30pm: www.youtube.com/live/YaWusQS... #IrishLeft #Ireland #IrishPolitics #Left #UnitedLeft #Irish #IrishPol #Democracy #Unity #Solidarity #Galway

It's hard to overstate how important this overwhelming victory of a democratic socialist New York Mayor is for the US and for the world. #NYCMayor #NYC #NewYork #Zohran #Left #DemocraticSocialist #Equality #USA #UnitedStates #Democracy #Election
