The government is 'targeting' alright. It's targeting disabled people and the poorest in our society, and making life intentionally even more difficult. Particularly cruel cuts when the government has never had more money, €25billion+ in surplus. It's austerity in a time of plenty.

I spoke just after the awful crash earlier on 'Grace's Law', and the tragedy of Grace's death. It's due to the bravery of her mother that this law will be passed, but it didn't have to be this way. The legislation was passed in 2023, and could have been brought it at any point.

Why has the Attorney General's advice changed? What has changed since? Before Christmas, the whole Dáil voted for a motion that the Occupied Territories Bill should be passed including services before the end of the day. This government continues to water it down, and delay again. #EnactAnois

"X lied to your minister. X lied to your government. Now they're giving two fingers to this parliament..." We know the horrific effect this abuse has on victims of it. That's why there is already legislation to criminalise it. Are there criminal investigations into X themselves or not? #SpéirGhorm

People in Whitechurch getting organised to fight against threatened Council, AHB & HAP rent hikes. In Dublin City Council they voted to hike the rent by 30%, now South Dublin County Council is talking about similar rent hikes. We need to get organised to stop this.

Why won't the government answer a simple question? It's yes or no? Is there a criminal investigation into X itself? This government is more concerned about being viewed favourably by Big Tech than protecting the public. We must stop these harmful tools being used to produce horrific content.

Stop the rent hikes! We need to get organised as communities to fight the SDCC's planned rent hikes. We need a campaign against the rent hikes in SDCC, to ensure we don't follow the lead of Dublin City Council. The final decision is months away, but we need to begin fighting it NOW! #StopRentHikes

After last night's powerful meeting of Marlfield residents, I've written to Apcoa asking them not to engage in clamping next Tuesday. It's completely unacceptable to see charges and clamping introduced against the will of the majority of residents. They should be withdrawn.

Ireland must hold big tech to account! The government's approach is to hide behind the European Commission, and hope all this scandal dies down. The government still hasn't even confirmed the lies from X yet... We must stop this abuse. #StopToxicAlgorithms

Promoting eating disorders for young girls and mysoginist content for boys to maximise their profits. How is the government standing over this type of content? It's simple. We need to pass the "Online Safety (Recommender Algorithms) Bill 2025". #TurnOffTheToxicAlgorithms

No shamrocks for Trump! Epstein-island Trump should have nothing to do with our national day. He supports the abduction, detention, and murder of US citizen's by his ICE militia. He's responsible for years of genocide now in Gaza. #NoShamrocksForTrump #NoKings

At the launch of Unite's proposals for legislation to protect workers in extreme weather events. Most workers who work outside felt their employer had not taken reasonable precautions during Storm Éowyn. We're working with others to introduce new legislation to protect workers.

Shameful. The government has voted against a proposal to make an emergency winter payment to disabled people. The government took €1,400 off disabled people in the budget and is now refusing to give them €400. A government for the rich, not the rest.

Government is bringing foward legislation to scrap the triple lock, and therefore our neutrality. There's a reason why (when in opposition) Micheál Martin said the triple lock was "at the core" of our neutrality. We have to stop this. #SaveTheTripleLock #IrishNeutrality #SpéirGhorm

"The best weapon the establishment have is the sense that there is no alternative." People need to feel a sense of their own power. We need to build movements around housing, cost of living crisis, to protect our neutrality!✊ The capitalist class will always rule in the interests of the rich.

We need to stop the rent hikes in SDCC. To do that we'll need a strong campaign, to avoid going in the same direction as Dublin City Council. We need our communities organised together to fight this! Join the street meeting this Saturday 31st January 1pm at the Kiltalown playground. Spread the word.

Did X lie to the government? Are government trying to distract? We need actual action! The Minister had assured us that X can no longer be used for 'nudification' purposes in Ireland or anywhere else. However, I informed the Minister that this was simply NOT true. #SpéirGhorm

So-called "AI Girlfriends" are being pushed at teenage boys on all platforms, prompting them to create sexual abuse imagery of classmates. How is the government standing over this type of content? It's simple. We need turn off these toxic algorithms. #TurnOffTheToxicAlgorithms

At the same time as the government promotes how successful projects like DRIVE are, they cut the funding for it! Services like these are essential in our communities and they should be properly resourced and funded. NOT cut out from communities once they show they work. #SpéirGhorm

In Kiltalown talking to people about the Council's plan to hike rents. People will pay €50m in rents this year but the Council will only spend €25m on maintenance. Now they want to increase rent even further. We can beat them if we get organised and stand together.

We're on track to have well over 20,000 people in emergency accommodation by next election. Get organised NOW against this government on the housing crisis! We need to reinstate the eviction ban, use the tens of thousands of vacant properties, and build social and affordable housing en-masse!

Will government cave again to big tech? Social media 'recommender' algorithms are bombarding children with harmful material, including material that promotes self-harm, anorexia and suicide and toxic content that promotes misogyny, racism, homophobia and transphobia. #TurnOffTheToxicAlgorithms

This government dances to the tune of big business as usual. They refuses to give workers the right to work from home, while also refusing to make decent public transport to get into work! #SpéirGhorm

Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Lowry & Healy-Rae independents have it in for disabled people and carers. After a budget that made disabled people €1400 poorer, now carers are facing tax bills, some of them into the thousands! This is all while government ministers owe TENS of thousands of euros.

Turn off the toxic algorithms! Today I introduced the "Online Safety (Recommender Algorithms) Bill 2025". This is what the public wants, what Coimisiún na Meán have previously recommended, what the Oireachtas AI Committee currently recommends... but will the government actually do it? #SpéirGhorm

Today we will be introducing a bill to turn off the toxic 'recommender' algorithms for under 18s. It will also ensure that recommender algorithms based on profiling or sensitive personal data have to be actively turned on by adult users.

The government shamefully votes down a Bill to tackle the dereliction crisis. It's a national scandal that we have over 50,000 homes sitting vacant for more than six years during a homeless crisis. We need use it or lose it legislation.

Billionaires shouldn't exist. Fine Fáil and Fine Gael are a government for the rich. We need rid of them, and a left government that will actually take on these fat cats. Read about it here: www.oxfamireland.org/press/oxfam-... #BillionairesShouldntExist

Support the Covalen content moderators who are standing up to demand that massively profitable companies, making tens of millions from lucrative contracts with Meta, respect workers’ fundamental right to collective bargaining and recognise their unions.

Bus privatisation has been a disaster for us, but this government is in denial. I got contacted every week by people who have missed or are late to school, work, interviews, etc. as a result. We should have free, frequent, and reliable public transport - instead, we're getting more GoAhead...

Happy to join the Covalen workers at a powerful picket in Sandyford. These are workers doing outsourced work for Meta including content moderation. They are looking for union recognition, decent terms and conditions and against being replaced by AI. Up the workers!

The power is out in parts of Templeogue and Knocklyon. ESB Networks are saying it should be back by 10pm. Please let me know if it's not back up by then.

FF, FG, and their Lowry lackies are undoing the ban on data centres, while data centres are already on track to use more electricity than ALL households combined. They create nearly no jobs, and drive up the price of electricity for ordinary people. This government is beholden to Big Tech.

The craven boot-licking by the Irish government has no end in sight anyway! These so-called 'patriots' are undermining our sovereignty and calling for American interference in Ireland. Reject these cronies of US imperialism & the foreign interference in our politics. #MAGAOutOfIreland #SpéirGhorm

We stood out in solidarity with the Palestine Action hunger strikers last night, just before their strike ended in response to Elbit systems being denied a £2Billion contract. End the proscription of Palestine Action Shut down Elbit Sanction genocidal Israel #SpéirGhorm

They're under pressure. I asked Micheál Martin to correct the Dáil record in relation to his response yesterday. We're not going to stop until we get actual answers on Paschal Donohoe's extra €10million to the World Bank. This isn't going to go away.

Privatisation has been a disaster for our bus services, which workers and commuters are paying the price for! Every week I get multiple emails from people reporting ghost buses, full buses passing by, and massive delays. Are you facing the same issues on GoAhead routes?? #GhostBuses #SpéirGhorm

The government doesn't like people speaking against their craven, bootlicking of Trump and US Imperialism. The government doesn't want to debate the kidnapping of Maduro & his wife Cilia Flores, or the rampaging threats and violence of Trump. They think it's "complex".

Did they know? Is the Taoiseach spreading misinformation to try and cover for Paschal (O?)Donohoe and the €10million sweetener? Or did they know about it? We need answers NOW from this government, but they seem to be in 'damage-control' mode, hoping this will die down. #SpéirGhorm

We need immediate action against the gross, illegal practice of generative image based sexual abuse and the facilitation of child sexual abuse material on X through Elon Musk’s Grok A.I. Join the protest this Saturday at 12pm, X Offices, 1 Cumberland Place, Dublin.

Attending an event about the need for an emergency winter payment for disabled people. Disabled people had incomes cut by over €1000 in the last budget. This is despite a government promise of a cost of disability payment. I will be raising it in the Dáil tomorrow.

Telling the government my new home is going to be a data centre so they'll build it for me

The next few months are a test of how much we actually stand by our values as a people rooted in a tradition of anti-imperialism and peace, and we have to meet this moment by building a strong and militant force to save the triple lock and defend our neutrality. Join us and fight back.

Did the Irish public pay a €10 million sweetener to the World Bank so "Prudent Paschal" could get a top job? Is this just more 'jobs for the boys'? We need answers from the government on this. #SpéirGhorm

Is the government going to protect women and children from abuse? Or bow down to big tech? X should be prosecuted for it's spreading of illegal child abuse images. We will be bringing legislation this week to close the potential loophole in this area regarding abusive images of women. #SpéirGhorm

This is madness. Big Tech and their insatiable demand for energy coming before housing, transport and our environment. All our electricity bills will rise even higher to allow these data centres use more than a third of our total electricity.

It's becoming very clear that many of our self-styled patriots are anything but. They are trying to undermine what's left of our sovereignty for the benefit of US imperialism. What exactly was the US ambassador doing at this conference? Foreign interference in our politics.
