At the #HandsOffVenezuela protest in Dublin earlier. This is about: 1. Oil - Venezuela has largest oil reserves in world. 2. Power - Trump's new national security strategy makes clear this is about control of Latin America. 3. Precedent - To show US can act without consequence.

Seeing what is US is doing to Venezuela by attacking & kidnapping their president should be condemned by every "democracy" in the world. The hesitation by any "ally" like Ireland and the EU as a whole should be seen as what it is, cowardice and complicity in blatant imperialism.

This is on this evening! Here's a link to the livestream for those who can't attend in person. www.youtube.com/live/YaWusQS...

Just a reminder that this event is on this evening at the Harbour Hotel at 7:30pm

We're hosting a public Meeting on 27 Nov 19:30 at Harbour Hotel in Galway together with Sinn Féin, Social Democrats, Labour & Independents discussing what is next for the left following on from the presidential election. All welcome to attend and contribute to the discussion.

Some of our members in Game Workers Unite Ireland were in Paris for a union summit today and joined the STJV and other European game worker unions for a solidarity protest outside Take Two offices. The blatant union busting firing of the Rockstar 31 workers can not stand. Reinstate them now!

Our new President, Catherine Connolly. A President for peace, justice and equality. Well done to everyone in the movement which made this happen.

A quick pop into town on my lunch break to watch the inauguration of President Connolly with fellow Galway campaigners.

We stand in solidarity with IWGB game workers in London who have been targeted by blatant union busting by Rockstar Games. This attack on workers organising in their workplace can not stand.

This is the truth about government rhetoric. They want to distract from the fact they're responsible for the crises we face. If they get away with this performative cruelty, homeless people will be next. We have to stand against the establishment & their attempts to divide us.

It's good to see Simon's intentions being stated so plainly

“There is a question that hovers over Irish politics: what will the parties of power do when they start to panic about losing it? Last week, after their joint debacle in the presidential election, we got the grim answer: turn on immigrants.” - @fotoole.bsky.social

I hope politicians who have been scapegoating asylum seekers are happy with themselves. There is a direct line between a hostile environment and murderous acts. The attempted murderer is responsible, but politicians are responsible for the environment.

Big crowd in the Sugar Club to discuss what's next for the left after the Catherine Connolly victory. There's a huge appetite to keep the movement going - to defend neutrality, fight for housing and to tackle the cost of living crisis, as well as to fight for a Left government.

Once again delighted that the Irish people went with the option that was cool af

From late July helping run the lights & camera for the launch of her campaign to the eve of the election at Galway Arts Centre with creative sector workers & unions, I'm immensely grateful to have been a small part of this historic moment for Ireland with Catherine's election.

One hour left to vote for the Irish presidential election. If you haven't voted yet, get out and vote for Catherine Connolly!!!

I just voted no. 1 for Catherine Connolly. And you should too. #CatherineConnolly #ConnollyForPresident

Take what you will from whether the government is going to begin following the new principles laid out by Fine Gael's presidential campaign... #Aras #Connolly4President

We demand that the University of Galway immediately end their contract with Technion. We cannot be complicit in genocide by having ties to the apartheid state of Israel. Boycott. Divest. Sanction.

If you were from another country and turned on this debate, you'd wonder why on earth are we so deep in the minutiae of Dáil passes. #Aras25 #rtept

This is good to see, well done Sadaka and GLAN. Complicity in apartheid Israel's apartheid, occupation and genocide against Palestinians is being challenged more and more. #BDS #SanctionsNow Complaint about Airbnb profits from Israeli settlements under Garda review www.thejournal.ie/gardai-inves...

Catherine Connolly on the streets of Galway today. People Before Profit members in Galway have enthusiastically supported Catherine's campaign for the Presidency and are honoured to be able help build the movement locally with so many other lovely people.

Marching today in Galway City. Despite a "ceasefire", Israel has continued to kill Palestinians this week in breach of it. There is no liberation under occupation. Dismantle the apartheid and genocidal Zionist state. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

The government chose to bring a 'motion of confidence' in Simon Harris to avoid scrutiny in the week of the presidential election. FF, FG, the Lowry Independents, Healy-Raes, and Independent Ireland all voted 'confidence' in Simon Harris. #JusticeForHarvey #KickOutFFFG

Vote Connolly....cause we can't. 💚

People Before Profit TD Paul Murphy is suing presidential candidate Heather Humphreys for defamation. The case concerns remarks made by Humphreys during a presidential debate regarding Murphy’s involvement in an anti-water charges protest that took place eleven years ago. jrnl.ie/6845894

Canvassing in Mervue last night for Catherine Connolly. Last week to go till the election of our next President. Join us in building this people powered movement! @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Great to march with Dublin South West Together as part of the anti-racist carnival. A strong response to the rise of racist attacks. We need to unite against those responsible for housing, health and cost of living crises - the profiteers and the government that represents them.

In the latest anti-worker, anti-young person revelation, the government have been exposed: after promising to scrap sub-minimum wages, they’ve instead bowed to big business and extended the super-exploitation of young workers until at least 2029.

"engaged in an examination of this matter" until people hopefully stop asking about it. We won't stop. Stop the illegal overflights. Stop Irish complicity in genocide.

It’s not enough to talk, our government must act on the genocide. We demand protection for the 22 Irish delegates on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla and call for a legal observer to ensure international law is upheld. These are humanitarians bringing baby formula and aid to starving children in Gaza.

"We also want to work with others to form a left front to give people a clear governmental alternative to FF and FG rule at the next possible opportunity." We need to learn the lessons from #GE24. #KickOutFFFG #SpéirGhorm

The Catherine Connolly can be the beginning of the end for Fianna Fáil - Fine Gael. Get involved on www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie If Sinn Féin backs Catherine, we'll have a very broad left campaign, clearly against FF-FG and their plans to tear up our neutrality. #CatherineForPresident

People Before Profit Galway support Catherine Connolly for President. "Catherine’s candidature is a crucial opportunity for the left in Ireland to engage in an transformative and inspirational campaign" pbpgalway.ie/2025/09/15/p...

I'll now be focusing on bringing pressure to bear at home in Ireland as the #GlobalSumudFlotilla prepares to sail. We need all eyes on Gaza, and every single one of us must use whatever resources and platforms we have to put pressure to end Israel's man-made famine and genocide.
