FF met for five hours on Tuesday over the Jim Gavin debacle - and ten weeks on, they’re still not satisfied with the answers.

It’s important - but has there been enough political and media attention or urgency on housing, homelessness, security, energy prices, climate or the OTB? I argue “nope.”

"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.

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.

More than $1bn a month of European social wealth transferred to US defence tech companies, massively intensifying the potential for war.

And no political leaders speaking out against it.

The state of Israel was in ‘constant contact’ with a Fine Gael councillor to help him defeat a county council motion calling for an Irish government boycott of Israeli military equipment.

It directed ‘concentrated and intensive activity’ on social media.
