Why are the Collison brothers writing government housing policy? Their think tank projects wants there to be 350,000 housing units in people's back gardens. A generation condemned to inadequate housing so landlords can increase profit.

I've signed the Save our SNAs pledge to support the Alternative Circular. I will oppose any dilution of access to SNA support and commit to defending inclusion, equality, and dignity for all student. #SaveOurSNAs #supportthealternativecircular

Marching with CATU and tenants today against Council rent hikes. Dublin City Council has already increased rents by an average of €100 per family. Now South Dublin wants to do the same. We can reverse the increases in DCC and stop them elsewhere by getting organised!

Fair play Martin! A powerful finish to Martin Leahy's 200 week long protest outside the Dáil. Everyone should have a home - a message more important than ever. It's a political choice to make people homeless, while tens of thousands of properties sit vacant. #EveryoneShouldHaveAHome

Out for a quick bit of door knocking before the match letting people in Homelawns know about the campaign to stop the Council hiking their rents. Join the CATU protest this Saturday 1pm at Parnell Square. Now home for the match!

Northside Home Care Services workers were outside the Dáil yesterday (and out in Coolock today) with their union the IWU to fight for their basic entitlements to pay parity. Have a listen to Sonya explain why they're there, and why they'll keep fighting. #FightForYourRights #JoinAUnion

One reason people are so exposed to these price increases is because of the capitalist class' addiction to fossil fuels. Any additional renewable energy is miniscule compared to the increased energy eaten up by the increase in data centres. No to data centres. No to dirty fracked gas.

The hypocrisy is unreal. Government talks a specific way to placate the US & Israel. The reality is that they're getting rid of the triple lock so that they can align us even further with US imperialism. I'm sure he wouldn't like people pointing out that he won't even repeat what Robert Troy said.

Drop the rent hikes! They want to bring the shameful rent hikes to SDCC as well. We can't let them. We need to be on the streets, and put presure on your local Councillors. Join the CATU protest this Saturday, 1pm at Parnell Square. Spread the word!

It's still time to #BanFoxHunting even if FF FG SF shamefully voted to keep this barbaric aristocratic practice.

We have to end the 100 year reign of FF-FG. We have to fight for a left government that will actually take on the big business interests that profit off people's misery - through the housing crisis, cost of living crisis, or dragging up closer to warmongers. #SpéirGhorm

Government measures could be wiped out by next week... We need to take real action to combat the cost of living crisis. We need to open the books of these energy companies, and price controls to prevent profiteering, as well as ultimately renationalising our energy back into public control.

These reductions could be wiped out by next week. Households need certainty and support. A €500 energy credit would put money back into everyone's pocket. That should be combined with price controls and tax cuts to give security and stop profiteering. #CostOfLivingCrisis

"As always under this capitalist system, it is ordinary people who pay the price for their crises." The cost of living crisis that people are experiencing is a direct consequence of the death and destruction rained down on Iran and Lebanon by the murderous US-Israel regimes. #SpéirGhorm

It's clear now that the government is tearing up planning laws to try and allow landlords to create 'small modular units' (read: garden shed) that landlords can then rent out at market rates. A landlord government. Have a listen to this shameful stuff: www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

People Before Profit's @paulmurphy.pbp.ie argues that increasing the levy on data centres would go a long way in financing prospective energy credits. #RTETWIP repeats at 11pm tonight on @rteone.rte.ie

Presenter @aine-lawlor.bsky.social asks @paulmurphy.pbp.ie what kind of welcome Donald Trump should receive if he pays Ireland a visit in September. #RTETWIP repeats at 11pm tonight on @rteone.rte.ie

Great to kick off our annual PBP-S conference today, discussing the cost of living & housing crises, how to combat gender-based violence & rising misogyny, and neutrality, imperialism, & justice for Palestine. Homes for people, not profit! No to war! No coalition with FF/FG! Fight for ecosocialism!

This isn't a new cost of living crisis. This is a further crisis on top of the crisis that was already there. What should happen isn't difficult, but will the government do it? We have to fight for an #AffordableIreland! #CostOfLivingCrisis

Fair play to everyone that was protesting to defend Irish neutrality. The bootlicking of Trump should give an indication of what the government plans to do. They want to scrap the triple lock, and bow in behind US imperialism / NATO. We have to build opposition on the streets. #SaveTheTripleLock

Powerful protest outside the Dáil demanding that the Bessborough site be protected, not built on.

The strong likelihood is that Shannon Airport has been (and is being) used in preparation for the air strikes and attacks on Iran. The Irish government is complicit, and is continuing their policy of 'hear no evil, see no evil'. We need the #USMilitaryOutOfShannon. #SpéirGhorm

This may just be the tip of the iceberg... Parents of children with additional needs in Finglas have been left devastated as they've now been told their children won't have a special class come September. There may be up to 1000 children in this same situation. It's absolutely disgraceful!

The majority of people want to keep Ireland neutral, but the government doesn't care. Everyday, the government is doing all they can to dismantle our neutrality. Part of this will be scrapping the 'triple lock' in the coming weeks. We have to fight them. Join the protest tonight! #SpéirGhorm

Trump, Vance and Rubio lectured Micheál Martin and the media on: Their justification for murder in Iran Their blockade of Cuba Scaremongering about mass migration Climate denialism Micheál Martin nodded along while our national day was used as a backdrop for US imperialism.

Great to see huge crowds for an amazing St. Patrick's Day in Tallaght. It's wonderful to see all the brilliant things happening in our community brought together on one day. Well done to all the Council and volunteers who made it happen for the second year in a row.

Out with a great crew for Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin in Stoneybatter today. The people of Dublin Central have a chance to punish FF/FG for making Dublin a place that people can't afford to live. A vote for Eoghan is a vote for a proven campaigner and a city we can live in.

"The Irish government has an approach of 'hear no evil, see no evil' when it comes to all the evil deeds of the US empire" The humanitarian crisis in Cuba is a consciously created crisis by the Trump regime, intensifying the 6 decade long blockade. Cuba, Irish neutrality, illegal weapons flights o

Many people are stuck in hours-long commutes everyday, simply so the billionaires of the world can limit people's autonomy over their own work. We need a real #RightToRemoteWork We need to get rid of this government that rules in the interests of big business and landlords.

Micheál Martin is a national embarrassment. They couldn't even wait until next week for the bootlicking... Epstein-island Trump is an abuser of women, he's armed a genocide, committed multiple acts of unprovoked war and presided over ICE killing peaceful protesters in the US. #NoShamrockForTrump

More and more people are realising this is coming to South Dublin County Council. We have to get organised in every community to fight back against these rent hikes. They've already been brought into DCC, but it's not too late. Get involved, and join the CATU protest on March 28th, 1pm Parnell Sq.

End Irish complicity. Shame on our cowardly government. Just a few days until Micheál Martin will go hand over a bowl of shamrocks to help greenwash Trump and US imperialist war crimes. All while US military planes continue to fly through Shannon. Epstein-island Trump is no friend of the Irish.

We need to build a movement to fight back against this cruel government. Just listen to Micheál Martin say how much they're 'doing for people'. We have to get organised in our communities to fight for an #AffordableIreland, because we will never get it from FF-FG. #HowIrelandWorks #RipOffIreland

Together with our local Councillor, Kay Keane, I submitted an appeal to An Comisiún Pleanála to the Boherboy development in Citywest. We need more housing. But we also need to build liveable sustainable communities. People's needs not developers' profits should come first.

Join this important protest tomorrow outside the US embassy. We won't want to continue Irish complicity in US-Israel war crimes. We need to fight our government that wants to further subordinate us to US imperialism. #stopthebombing #USMilitaryOutOfShannon #NoShamrockForTrump

The shameful cowardice & hypocrisy of the Irish government is hard to stomach. They can't even condemn the murder of children, as a consequence to their subordination to US imperialism. The Taoiseach should not be handing over a bowl of shamrocks to Epstein-Island warmonger Trump. #USOutOfShannon

As rents skyrocket, & evictions soar, make sure you remember that Independent Ireland & Independent TDs literally copy-pasted 'amendments' from the landlord lobby for the Residential Tenancies Bill to make it even more pro-landlord! Landlord Dáil enacts pro-landlord legislation. #SpéirGhorm

We are governed by spineless and moral-free cowards. #NoShamrocksForTrump

"It tells us something about the distinct value of human life... imagine if 160 schoolchildren were killed in my other places in the world, it would be number 1 item on the news for weeks." #USOutOfShannon #NoToWar #Iran #Lebanon

As a supposedly neutral country, why is our government dragging us even closer to NATO? We know why - the government want to get rid of our neutrality, and drag us into imperialist war with them. The majority of people want nothing to do with this. #NoToNATO #SaveOurNeutrality

So government thinks being neurodiverse makes you more likely to be a 'terrorist' or 'violent extremist'? In a forum on "responses to terrorism, violent extremism", it says "harm is often influenced by multiple and intersecting disadvantages including mental health challenges and neurodiversity."

All the reports of evictions are not coming out of nowhere. It's government policy. If landlord TDs were disallowed from voting on the 'Residential Tenancies Bill' it could not have passed. But they weren't. They were allowed to vote for their own personal benefit. #SpéirGhorm

Despite the hot air from government about protecting children, they've voted down our Bill to turn off the toxic algorithms. These algorithms push toxic content promoting eating disorders, self harm, misogyny and hate. Big Tech profits should not come before children's health.

This cowardly government plans to vote against our bill that would stop these social media companies push pro-eating disorder content at young women. All because of lobbying by Big Tech to keep their toxic algorithms. How much more craven can you get. #TurnOffTheToxicAlgorithms #SpéirGhorm

Big Tech wins out over children's safety. The neck of the government is unreal. This was literally amended out of the government's 'excuse' because of Big Tech lobbying! They're engaged in doublespeak in front of our eyes, trying to tell us they're 'dealing' with this. They're not! #SpéirGhorm

Citywest residents coming together tonight to oppose the continued disaster of developer-led planning. Key dates: Deadline for appeal to An Bord Pleanála decision on Boherboy is 12 March. Deadline for submissions on the rezoning of Citywest (and others) is 13 March.

The government intends to oppose our bill tomorrow. This is the most craven of actions by the most craven of Governments, and in the debate tomorrow we will call them out for this unforgivable failure to protect the public. These algorithms are driving an epidemic of mental health problems.
