The High Court found against us in our actions over Super-Junior Ministers. Thanks to the Court and my legal team for their work and consideration of this crucial matter. I took this action to seek to challenge the participation of ‘Super Junior’ Ministers in Cabinet meetings.

Going into the High Court now to hear the verdict of my case against the constitutionality of the government's so-called "Super-Junior" ministers. We'll keep people updated on the verdict.

Hunger strikers will have died in British prisons once again by the time the Dáil returns, unless there's action taken. They will have been killed by a British injustice system, that arms, supports, and funds genocide. The conspiracy of silence must be ended, and their very basic demands met.

Why is Peadar Tóibín lying about the Bill he voted against last night? He’s trying to make people think it would allow abortion for any reason up until birth - it wouldn't. It's to cover for the fact that he opposes abortion in any circumstances - even in cases of rape or fatal foetal abnormality.

🚨High Court case verdict this Friday!🚨 Tomorrow, on the last day before Christmas, my court case on the constitutionality of so-called 'Super Junior' ministers will return with a verdict. Follow along tomorrow.

Rory Hearne unveils piece of art in the Dáil with the number of homeless children in this state. A national scandal which should be a national emergency. Evictions from private rented accommodation is the cause of one third of homelessness. We need an immediate eviction ban

Disappointingly after great campaigning the Dáil has voted down a Bill to ban fox hunting. This barbaric, cruel, colonial practice will continue for now. But the campaign against it will grow. The will of the people will ultimately be heard and we will succeed in stopping it.

Scandalously the Dáil has just voted 73-71 to continue to force many women to travel abroad for abortions by refusing to reinstate Bríd Smith's Bill to scrap the three day waiting period. The vast majority of FF and FG TDs voted against women's right to choose. Shame on them.

We should #BanFoxHunting. The establishment are trying to spread misinformation & distract. They don't want to outright say they're for fox hunting, because they know it's unpopular. Instead, they want to scaremonger, misdirect, and hope they get away with it. Don't let them.

It's now 3 years on from the report into the abuse at St. John Ambulance. Why is the government still not engaging with survivors? Apologies are not enough! People knew and did nothing. Survivors need a full public inquiry to ensure that this can NEVER happen again. #StJohnAmbulanceAbuse

Solidarity with the Palestine Action hunger strikers in Britain. They need immediate bail. They all demand an end to the proscription of Palestine Action. End the censorship. Elbit must be shut down. Join the protest tomorrow at 2pm at the British Embassy in Dublin.

There are many people doing important work around the country in adult education LTI workers are one of those, but they have not had a pay increase in 20 years. They need pay parity with Community Training Centre (CTC) Staff and to have pay scales implemented! #JoinAUnion #FightForYourRights

Why are we forced to pay for data centres? Ireland to be the dumping group of these big tech companies data centres and their algorithms. We should be able to know what's going on in them. Instead, this government is allowing them to use up massive amounts of water and electricity.

Join this protest tomorrow, in solidarity with the Palestine Action hunger strikers in Britain. End the complicity! They need immediate bail. They all demand an end to the proscription of Palestine Action. End the censorship. Elbit must be shut down.

An important protest tomorrow. The owners gave notice to quit, stating that everyone must be out by 14 January. The Complex can still be saved if the Department of Finance steps in and commits to funding towards its purchase. They must #SaveTheComplex

"The bill is deliberately drafted in such a way to ensure the government will never have to hold a referendum on investor courts ever again." We all know why the government doesn't want to bring this to the people. They know people are against it, which is why they want to quietly push it through.

Horrendous news from Bondi Beach. My thoughts and solidarity are with the victims and their families. Anti-semitism is a scourge that must be combated.

Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael are selling out our sovereignty to private corporations. They're creating a parallel justice system ONLY for corporations. Corporations can and will sue the state for interfering with their "legitimate expectation" of making profits. Why is there so little coverage of this?

What would happen if Kim Jong Un docked in Dingle? If a Death Star appeared over Spiddle? If Lucifer burst out of the Hill of Tara?

The propaganda campaign designed to scare people into supporting an end to neutrality and increasing military spending is going into overdrive. There is a new arms race taking place globally. The government wants us to join in. We should instead defend our neutrality.

Wednesday's late night vote for the Arbitration Bill and parallel corporate courts is a threat to democracy, sovereignty and our ability to regulate for the public interest. We must stop them pushing it all the way through Oireachtas in the New Year. Watch this space.

It looks like even Micheál Martin thinks the BusConnects rollout is a joke, or else why would he be laughing? I'm contacted every week by constituents that face ghost buses or 30+ minute delays to get into town. Will people have to protest to get the change that we need? #SpéirGhorm #GhostBuses

The government is breaking its own law. It must provide Assessment of Needs in time, and then the necessary therapies that follow from them. Instead of actually improving these essential services, they intend to remove their own responsibility and culpability for it.

Shameful. Have a listen to Micheál Martin's disgraceful response to my question about the hunger strikes. The pro-Palestine hunger strikers in Britain are heading towards death. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael would clearly like to follow the example of the British state. We can't allow them.

Scandalously at 1am, the government has just pushed through a law with far reaching ramifications. It allows them to sign up to a parallel court process only accessible by corporations. There they can sue Ireland if we do anything to interfere with their "right" to profit.

Good news. We'll keep you updated on PAC in the coming weeks and months. If you've important information that needs to be brought to our attention about upcoming committees (the Revenue Commissioners or Dept. of Social Protection), please send it to us at [email protected]

At a briefing of taxi drivers about the threat that Uber and their fixed fares pose. Everywhere they go, Uber tries to undermine and dismantle the regulated taxi system so they can make more profit. Everyone will lose - except Uber. Boycott Uber, support the taxi drivers.

Solidarity with the Covalen workers and their union CWU. The government must engage with the CWU ahead of this bleak Christmas the Covalen workers face. Covalen, which works almost exclusively for Meta is continuing to hire people into the roles they are laying off.

After 10+ years of people fighting against it, this government is pushing through this dystopian CETA legislation. Corporations can and will sue the state for interfering with their profits - for example increasing the minimum wage, against fracking bans, etc. This is incredibly undemocratic.

This budget made everyone poorer, but particularly effected disabled people. I joined them protesting outside the Dáil today. We heard that for many it is literally a choice between heating or eating. An emergency winter payment is the absolute minimum necessary.

We need a movement of all those abandoned by these mouthpieces for global capital and the landlords to resist every eviction, resist rent increases and fight back against the destruction of our communities by the precarity of insecure tenancies and landlord neglect. We have to say enough is enough.

We were out protesting today for an emergency winter payment. People with disabilities are demanding government acts to avoid throwing them into desperate poverty. The budget took over €1400 from disabled people. An emergency winter payment is the VERY minimum necessary.

It's disgraceful that disabled people have to gather outside the Dáil to demand that the government makes an emergency winter payment to avoid desperate poverty. The budget took over €1400 from disabled people. An emergency winter payment is the very minimum necessary.

Disabled people were intentionally made €1400 poorer by this government's budget. Don't be fooled by Simon Harris' spin about money being "put back into people's pockets" - people can feel the missing money every time they get groceries and pay rent!

"Don't continue to be Scrooge!" Now Paschal Donohoe has left for his cushy €600k job, we've got Simon Harris as Minister for Finance, intent on continuing Fine Gael's miserly legacy. Protest with disability organisations outside the Dáil Tuesday at 12.30. #CostOfGreed #ColdChristmas

Yes or no? Scrooge Harris and this government is making everyone poorer this Christmas, but disabled people are facing the sharpest end of this. This government makes political choices to benefit the ultra-rich, while ordinary people are feeling the pinch. We need an emergency winter payment.

"The truth is that Ireland is failing, it's failing badly" Ireland is the WORST country in the EU for trans healthcare. Most people aren't aware of just how dehumanising and humiliating the NGS is! Have a listen to this important video.

Defence Force Reservists face cruel cut by government! The Tánaiste Micheál Martin says he's "not aware" of it. This government would take the clothes off your back if they thought they could get away with it. All while they've a record surplus cash pile of ~€25billion!

Listen to the people - ban fox hunting! FF, FG and SF should drop their opposition to this Bill or at least allow their TDs a free vote on this. #BanFoxHunting

Boycott Uber! Don't let them pull Ireland into yet another race to the bottom. The government must establish a publicly owned, not-for-profit app operated by the NTA, mandated to protect taxi drivers’ incomes and to protect customers against Uber's surge pricing. #FightForYourRights

Will you stand with Seán? Seán Binder, who grew up in Ireland, is a humanitarian worker who volunteered as a sea rescuer in Greece. For that he was wrongly charged with serious crimes and faces 20 years in prison when he goes on trial tomorrow. #StandWithSeán #DropTheCharges #FreeHumanitarians

It's a yearly scandal, now decades long. Nearly €100 million to prop up the horse and greyhound racing industries. More than 3 times the amount of core funding given to the 87 different sports bodies. We need rid of these cruel industries that only exist to profit the wealthy few. Do you agree?

This government is choosing to make us complicit. We need full sanctions on the genocidal state of Israel. That's why we've introduced a bill to do just that. We need full #BDS. Instead of that, the government won't even pass the minimal demands of the Occupied Territories Bill.

FF, FG, Labour, Greens, and right wing independents voted to hike rents on the poorest households in Dublin City Council. Tenants have to get organised to resist this government. Stand with your neighbours, and learn from the 1970s rent strikes! "No way, we won't pay!"

An incredible Kingswood Christmas Market today. Well done to Sharlene, the Residents Association and all the volunteers who bring such a great event to our community. 🎅 Santa gave a positive response to the skateboard request so fingers are crossed.

It was great to be back in Galway for a discussion on what's next for the left on Thursday night a month after Catherine Connolly's incredible victory. We have a huge opportunity that we must not waste - to build powerful social movements and fight to kick out FF/FG.

Shame on this landlords' government. They have refused to ban economic evictions, they're allowing rents to rise faster than ever, while handing hundreds of millions to the developers. Their friends are getting rich while children are growing up homeless. We need FG/FF out.

"These are ordinary people who just take a decision to do the right thing." Whistleblowers play an incredibly important role in our society — we have to support and protect them. Instead, Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael allow many whistleblowers to be harrassed and penalised. #Whistleblowers #SpéirGhorm

Me: "Your budget is a savage attack on disabled people, they're going to have to choose between heating & eating this Christmas" MM: "I would have to disagree" The cost of living crisis is NOW. The cost of disability crisis is NOW! Government has the money. They just don't care

Another week of no debate on government's housing plan. We all know why... They've removed annual targets to scrap accountability, and continue to funnel money into the pockets of wealthy developers and corporate landlords.
