Great to march with Dublin South West Together as part of the anti-racist carnival. A strong response to the rise of racist attacks.

We need to unite against those responsible for housing, health and cost of living crises - the profiteers and the government that represents them.

In the latest anti-worker, anti-young person revelation, the government have been exposed: after promising to scrap sub-minimum wages, they’ve instead bowed to big business and extended the super-exploitation of young workers until at least 2029.

"engaged in an examination of this matter" until people hopefully stop asking about it.

We won't stop.

Stop the illegal overflights. Stop Irish complicity in genocide.

It’s not enough to talk, our government must act on the genocide.

We demand protection for the 22 Irish delegates on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla and call for a legal observer to ensure international law is upheld.

These are humanitarians bringing baby formula and aid to starving children in Gaza.

"We also want to work with others to form a left front to give people a clear governmental alternative to FF and FG rule at the next possible opportunity."

The Catherine Connolly can be the beginning of the end for Fianna Fáil - Fine Gael.

Get involved on www.catherineconnollyforpresident.ie

If Sinn Féin backs Catherine, we'll have a very broad left campaign, clearly against FF-FG and their plans to tear up our neutrality.

I'll now be focusing on bringing pressure to bear at home in Ireland as the #GlobalSumudFlotilla prepares to sail.

We need all eyes on Gaza, and every single one of us must use whatever resources and platforms we have to put pressure to end Israel's man-made famine and genocide.

What do we want from the next President?

Do we want the President to have courage to speak out when necessary for the people of Ireland? Do we want a voice for peace? A voice to reflect the work of communities on the ground? To speak out for action on climate change. To speak out against war?

Together with our local @pbp.ie Councillors, I have submitted a complaint to South Dublin County Council about Fine Gael Councillors Baby and Britto Pereppadan.

There are serious questions here not just for the Councillors but for Simon Harris and Fine Gael.

We need action now - guaranteed school places, recruitment & retention of therapists, an end to SNA allocation caps.
