The Irish government is complicit. In the middle of the genocide, they sanctioned huge amounts of so-called 'dual-use' goods going to the IDF. We need full BDS. We should pass our Sanctions on Israel bill next Wednesday, but this cowardly government plans to oppose it.

The debate on our sanctions bill is ongoing. We must Sanction the genocidal state of Israel for their crimes of apartheid, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. We have cross party support, but the government are still against it. They must be pressured before the vote next Wednesday.

Does the Genocide Convention mean anything to them? The idea that Israel can continue committing genocide and face no sanctions makes no sense. The 'Sanctions Against the State of Israel Bill 2026' debate is today, vote 20 May (protest at 5.30pm outside the Dáil, before voting)

Council tenants across Dublin are living in conditions that nobody should have to live in. The only work done in Sheridan Court are completely superficial, not dealing with any of the underlying issues. To add to this, DCC hiked these people's rents by 30%. #StopRentHikes

Shamefully the Dáil votes to continue to force women in tragic circumstances to travel to access abortions. The vast majority of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael despite a free vote joined Aontú and Independent Ireland against abortion rights. Sinn Féin abstained on women's rights.

Imagine what else they think they can say when there's no camera? What else are FF saying on doors for the by-election? This government's policies are pushing the crisis people are facing in terms of council rents, and the housing crisis overall. They just want to deflect, deflect, deflect!

We have to build a movement to protect our neutrality! This government is bringing legislation in the coming weeks and months to scrap the triple lock, something Micheál Martin himself has previously said is at the "core of our neutrality". Join us next Tuesday at Priory Market in Tallaght.

Don't fall for these politics of mass distraction. "People from the Congo never took corrupt payments from developers to blow up the property bubble." "Muslim children never crashed the economy, causing years of misery and austerity for ordinary people."

This plan is a scandal. The government is essentially planning to do away with social housing. They plan to do this when there's already record homeless, after they've scrapped RPZs, and would drive huge amounts of people deeper into poverty and homelessness. #HousingCrisis #CostOfGreed

Currently, 17, 18, & 19 year old workers can legally be paid just 70%, 80% or 90% of the minimum wage, respectively. Apprentices of any age can be paid even less than this - in their first year, only a shocking 56% of the minimum wage. We're introducing a bill to end this in the Dáil this afternoon.

Huge numbers of people out for Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin in Dublin Central yesterday. There is now real momentum behind our campaign. More and more people are saying that they want to vote left and understand that the most effective left vote is 1 for Eoghan and transfer left.

Some great news! We've just heard back from RTÉ that we are now being included in the final debate of the campaign, the Radio 1 debate on Friday May 15th. Fair play to every single person who signed our petition and supported Eoghan getting on the debate. Just two weeks to go...

Big meeting tonight against plans to move Edmonstown Sorting Office to Lucan. It makes no sense for workers or the public. It will mean a drastic worsening of service and people may have to go to Lucan for missed parcels! A protest is planned to save our sorting office.

Solidarity with Covalen workers! 700 workers are set to lose their jobs (on top of 300 previous), with no redundancy from a company that made €26 million in profits last year... We have to fight this disgraceful treatment of workers. #FightForYourRights #JoinAUnion

The decision to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from the Dublin Central debates just doesn’t make sense. In Galway West, 9 candidates are going head to head in debates, while in Dublin Central only 8 are being given a chance to put forward their perspective.

Reminder of this meeting this evening. An Post are planning to move the Edmondstown sorting office all the way to Lucan. For anyone who needs to collect a parcel or missed delivery, this move to Lucan could mean a long trip across the city. For the workers, it could mean upending their life.

Solidarity with the Covalen workers who have voted to take further industrial action, and were outside the Dáil today. The way these workers are being treated is outrageous. They are at the being left with no redundancy, and disgracefully prevented from working in the same area for 6 months.

It makes no sense whatsoever to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from the Dublin Central by-election debates. By any metric, he should be getting space out of the 3 debates. It is not for RTÉ to determine what the results of the by-election will be, it is up to the people of Dublin Central.

We are appealing to RTÉ to reverse the decision to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from all RTÉ debates during their coverage of the Dublin Central By-Election. All of the other eight viable candidates are included in at least one debate, yet Eoghan is excluded from all three debates planned.

What do you think the government's "generous" package? Even when the majority of people are feeling the bite, this government can't help but bring in help for big business. It's a cost of living crisis on top of a cost of living crisis for ordinary people. We need price caps.

This 'shed-sit' policy is taken directly from the Collison billionaire-backed 'Progress Ireland' think tank. Government wants to create a 2nd tier of renter - where there's no access to the RTB, evictions without notice, & no entitlement to even basic privacy from landlords... #NoShedSits

Great to be out again with Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin in Dublin Central. People are really hurting with the cost of living crisis. Voters in Dublin Central and Galway West have the opportunity to make the government pay. Keep FF and FG out and elect socialist campaigners.

We're 3 weeks away from the by-elections. We have a chance to put down a marker for how we want things to be. We need a left government that takes on the interests of landlords, big business, and the billionaires, instead of the current one that rules in their interests! #KickOutFFFG

Covalen workers are treated horrendously. 700 workers are set to lose their jobs (on top of 300 previous), with no redundancy from a company that made €26 million in profits last year... Covalen must pay an enhanced redundancy. Workers must also be released from their 'cooling off' period.

Join us for a public meeting on the Fuel Protests & Cost of Living Crisis on Tuesday May 5th, 7pm at the Plaza Hotel in Tallaght. We'll be discussing the lessons from the fuel protests, what's led to them, and what's needed to combat the cost of living crisis. Please share and spread the wo

Price caps were a core demand of the fuel protests. Why does the government refuse to implement them? Next month it'll be 2 years since we introduced our ‘Emergency Price Controls Bill’, which would impose a cap of €1.75 a litre on petrol/diesel and a €1 a litre cap on home heating oil. #PriceCaps

Why is government afraid to admit their 'shed-sit' policy is taken directly from the Collison billionaire-backed 'Progress Ireland' think tank? This is corporate capture of our government. Billionaires shouldn't exist. #CostOfGreed

"Everything is going up. Everything is going up except my wage." This is how ordinary people right across the country are feeling. This is because in a supposedly super rich country, government concentrates wealth in the hands of big business and the very rich. #MayDay #CostOfLivingCrisis

Can you afford to live? We need to learn the lessons of the fuel protest - we need to move into a next phase of protest, involving trade unions, communities, and workers. Everyone has to get organised in their area. Join the May Day march tomorrow, beginning at 6.30pm at the Garden of Remembrance.

It's not enough to ask nicely. We have to learn the lessons of the fuel protests. We need to demand the #USMilitaryOutOfShannon. We need to fight to #DefendIrishNeutrality

It's erosion of renters' rights. With 4 Airbnbs available for every 1 long term rental across the country, this government wants to push people into these 'shed-sits', where they've no access to the RTB, can be evicted without notice, and where they are not entitled to privacy from their landlord.

Government is now launching these 'shed-sits' in back gardens. They're further expanding a lower tier of 'renter' - one who will have no right to the RTB, no right to even basic privacies, and can be evicted at the drop of a hat. We knew these were never going to be just for 'family'🙄

We are all paying the price for Trump's warmongering. Homes, not bombs! Welfare, not warfare! We have to learn the lessons of the fuel protests. We need to demand the #USMilitaryOutOfShannon. We need to fight to defend Irish neutrality.

The "Shed-sit" landlords' government is of course refusing to deal with the Airbnbs which are driving up rents for everybody. We need them out. www.independent.ie/irish-news/a...

AI being used to cut workers' jobs, so that Meta can invest billions more in AI. I had the pleasure of standing with these workers on their picket lines previously. Support the workers! #FightForYourRights #JoinAUnion

Brilliant response around East Wall on Saturday talking to people about the cost of living and housing crises. A major part was the need for the opposition to rule out coalition with Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael and firmly commit to building an alternative that puts the needs of ordinary people first.

This move makes no sense. An Post are planning to move the Edmondstown sorting office all the way to Lucan. For anyone who needs to collect a parcel or missed delivery, this move to Lucan could mean a long trip across the city. For the workers, it means turning their work-life balance upside down.

Out in Poplar Row, Ballybough House and Courtney Place for Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin this evening. The biggest issue by far - the cost of living crisis and unjust DCC rent increases. The rent hike must be reversed, and the government must introduce price controls and energy credits.

Micheál Martin and the Irish government are making us complicit in US/Israel war crimes through the use of Shannon airport and the weapons overflights in our skies. We need to demand the #USMilitaryOutOfShannon. We need to fight to defend Irish neutrality

A lovely day for canvassing in East Wall with Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin. We can't wait for the next general election. We need to be on the streets on cost of living now. Use the by-election to send a message to all the parties - we want a left government to put people before profit.

Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin speaking at Keep Left event about Dublin Central by-election. We need a vote left transfer left pact to build momentum for a left government. A No. 1 vote for People Before Profit sends a message to the others - join us in ruling out coalition with FF/FG.

An Post are planning to move the Edmondstown sorting office all the way to Lucan. For anyone who needs to collect a parcel or missed delivery, this move to Lucan could mean a long trip across the city. For the workers in Edmondstown, it means turning their jobs and work-life balance upside down.

The by-elections are now officially on. We kicked off our campaign in Dublin Central for Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin with a packed gig. We deserve a city and country where people can live, not just exist. Bread and roses too! Volunteer today at eoc.ie.

I'm glad that we got a topical issue to discuss Scoil Maelruain Junior & Senior National schools. The question now is; when is this saga going to be ended and when will they get a rebuild? The school building isn't fit for use as it is. #OldBawn #ScoilMaelruain

Government is ripping up its climate commitments. LNG, data centres, public transport, nitrates, amarine protected areas, forestry - in every area the FF-FG-Lowry lackey government is going backward for the benefit of big business interests. #EarthDay

The Irish government is making Ireland complicit in US & Israeli war crimes. As a supposedly neutral country, why is government still facilitating weapons overflights and the US military in Shannon airport? These must be stopped. It's no wonder they're preparing to scrap the triple lock...

Great meeting in Killinarden about the proposal to massively hike Council rents. The Council gets much more in rent than they spend on maintenance but people are left waiting forever for work. People simply cannot afford these hikes. Contact me to get involved in the campaign.

It seems a third wave of the cost of living crisis is incoming... 300,000 already in arrears, parents going hungry to feed their children, and energy bills increasing. We need a new wave of protests to match this. People must get organised in their communities, workplaces, and on the streets.

Very glad to host Early Onset Parkinson's Disease Ireland in the Dáil today. I will be pushing for investment in deep brain stimulation surgery as well as supports for high impact exercise and a cost of disability payment. You can find more about their important work here: www.eopd.ie
