RTE reporting verbatim a Garda sargent claim at #GeorgeNkencho Inquest that there’s absolutely no way the situation could have been de-escalated. George had just walked home peacefully, watched by Gardai. Armed support arrived & shot him 6 times. Gardai surrounding, shouting & firing is escalation.

Govt’s & Civil Law Bill that still allows #counsellingnotes be used in trials is voted thru at 2nd stage. We will campaign for amendment to ban therapy notes in court at 3rd stage. Watch this space.

Another #manel on @tonightvmtv.bsky.social to discuss the manly issues of scramblers endangering lives; tenants’ rights; and the weather. Going backwards in representation in media.

Heartbreaking💔. Solidarity with family of Grace Lynch killed in Finglas by someone on a scrambler bike. These and scooters are a scourge, especially in working class communities. Action is wanted now, as seen by turnout tonight. #GraceLynchRIP

Ireland! We only need 4,000 more signatures to pass our threshold. C'mon!! @ipsc.bsky.social @kneecapceol.bsky.social 🇵🇸🇮🇪✊

“The shooting of Porter, who leaves behind daughters aged 10 and 20, was not caught on camera” How convenient for ICE

This was a summary execution, end of.

ICE murdered a nurse trying to save a woman from attack. #ICE should be abolished & put on trial. The Irish government shouldn’t give a grovelling PR opportunity to the President who licences them & shields their crimes. We should instead show solidarity to the thousands striking & protesting them.

Shocking info at the #GeorgeNkencho Inquest today. Two Rambos from the armed response unit arrived to deal with a young man with a bread knife. He was dead within ONE minute, shot 6 times with a semi automatic MP7 which neither had ever used before. Garda A & B testified behind a curtain.

I had written the motion with my colleagues for Dublin City Council to leave X in the hopes that they would see the incredible harm X was causing. To be fair, DCC management has been very proactive. Can't say the same for Gov politicians & other state agencies! www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Thank our lucky stars the Green Party got reduced to 1 TD. A bunch of them came out against Catherine Connolly. Now some are backing a trade deal that damages the environment & favours beef ranchers & big corporates. #Mercusor

Solidarity with #MargaretLoftus & absolute shame on the Gardai who testified on behalf of a violent abuser. Margaret commended the women who’ve gone before her. Survivors increasingly break anonymity to call out the traumatising, misogynistic legal system.

Our misogynistic courts strike again. If even a woman Garda can’t get justice, what hope is there? Ban #characterreferences. Compulsory training for judges about #GBV. And tear down patriarchy. www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

The Govt is going ahead with a Bill on Thursday that still allows #counsellingnotes of SA victims be accessed in trials - only change being a Judge will decide. This keeps the chilling effect, forcing many to choose trial or therapy. This trauma, misogyny must end. Join our protest. Lobby your TD.

Vital protest today. @ipsc.bsky.social These are political prisoners that the British Labour government is allowing to die. We must stop this. #DontLetThemDie #hungerstrike

“.. A lone protester, with the quote ‘I’m not mad at you’ taped onto their jacket, the last words of Renee Nicole Good, a woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis, marches outside U.S. Immigration Court in New York City.” @reuters.com

The mother of George Nkencho, who was fatally injured by armed gardaí outside his home in west Dublin five years ago, has told an inquest that there was “nothing out of the ordinary” about her son’s behaviour in the weeks before his death jrnl.ie/6925438

Just put this up on X. #BoycottX #CloseDownGrok

We are making our way through taking down the posters but it’s slowed up with weather. Fingal Council has extended the deadline due to #StormDarragh. Hopefully will get them all down tomorrow but if you see any beyond that, let us know. (Bigger parties pay companies). #DublinWest

Great to meet actor and activist Liam Cunningham on the @ipsc.bsky.social demonstration in Dublin #freepalesti̇ne #GazaHolocaust

Today I signed the Members Roll — the official signing to be a TD. Looking forward to fighting for major change and justice in the years ahead. A #socialistfeminist in the Dail- let it roll! #dublinwest

Elected! Thanks to everyone in Dublin west. Proud to be your TD again. #socialistcomeback
