Put the 'public' at the heart of the Public Inquiry! For a long time, PILS have backed the call of local communities to make the upcoming goldmining inquiry accessible. Today, we were proud to stand with Save Our Sperrins @actnowcampaigns.bsky.social as they handed over their 4k-strong petition!

Well done to @actnowcampaigns.bsky.social for bringing attention to this rates giveaway for big business. John O’Dowd must change this policy now. www.belfastlive.co.uk/news/norther...

BREAKING: Further proof NI firm supplied fighter jet parts to Israel. Invest NI’s multi-million pound state funding of Moyola Precision Engineering has made the public complicit in Israel’s genocidal bombing on Gaza. www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/norther...
