The political establishment has targeted ordinary people with the myth that we all share equal responsibility for the climate crisis.

The housing crisis isn’t an accident - it’s the result of landlords price-gouging ordinary people for profit, while big investors and vulture funds snap up nearly 80% of homes sold in this state.

On top of that, for every 1 long-term rental, there are 12 Airbnbs - a system that puts tourists ahead

Catherine Connolly’s historic victory is a turning point for the Irish left. Despite a wall of media smears, her campaign inspired a movement from below and showed that most people reject Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s tired politics. The majority back neutrality, housing rights, and real equality - t

Spoil your vote or strike a blow against the establishment?

The choice is there tomorrow.

The President will either be an establishment candidate, or someone who has stood against government and crises their policies have created for decades.

Violence at Citywest Hotel will do nothing for the young victim of sexual assault. The man who has been arrested for it is in custody and wasn’t even living in Citywest Hotel when he was arrested.

Our response to gender-based violence has to be bold, consistent, and rooted in solidarity, not fear or division. The vast majority of gender-based violence in Ireland is committed by men known to the victim, often in their own homes - yet services remain chronically underfunded, and survivors are l

79% of homes bought last year went straight into the hands of landlords and most of them already own ten or more properties. Ordinary people aren’t fighting each other for homes.

When Catherine Connolly speaks up for Palestine and Irish neutrality, the establishment brands her “disrespectful.” Standing up to Britain and war crimes isn’t disrespect. Ireland mustn’t bow to Starmer or the US.
