The government will set up a committee of rich American lobbyists - its a way to bypass public scrutiny.

In December American business lobbyists raised objections to the Occupied Territories Bill as reported in the Irish Times.

These people will say jump and our government will ask how high

Local TD’s Shane Moynahan and Emer Higgins voted to block the Occupied Territories Bill progressing this week - despite having it in their election manifestos before Christmas. This Bill is the minimum they can do

📢Ballot for Barnardos.

Shockingly, management at @barnardos-ireland.bsky.social haven’t honoured a State-funded pay deal of 8% for 2023/24. They’ve only passed on 4% & pointed to a previous pay increase as the reason why.

The people caring for vulnerable children deserve better than this.

Ireland needs to implement a full ban on all trade (goods and financial services) with the illegal Israeli settlements at the bare minimum. This is required of Ireland under international law which was made clear by the International Court of Justice

“What’s happening in Gaza is the shame of the century. Gaza has been erased.”

“This genocide would not have been possible without the shocking cover-up by the media.”

“The role of Western media in defending the acts of a genocidal state is unprecedented.”

Revenue officials on Henry St Christmas markets

The last estimate was that more than Ireland’s annual GDP passes almost completely untaxed through the IFSC every week, but today we have Revenue marching through Henry St in case Seasonal Workers aren’t playing 100% by the tax rules.

Check your 'Independents'!
Make sure you don't vote for so-called 'Independents' that are just playing the game, and are going to put FF&FG back in power.
A MAJORITY of them did NOT vote against Varadkar or Martin becoming Taoiseach...

The Greystones Guide | McConnell Addresses Far Right Harassment Local candidate bombarded by far right activist…

Another instance of the far-right attacking the left during this election, this time physically assaulting one of our canvassers and pulling out a weapon.

Not once have they gone after government parties—they are stooges for the status quo.

This Friday when you’re voting remember who:

- Refused to expel the Israeli ambassador
- refused to sanction Israel
- actively blocked Occupied Territories Bill
-Allows munitions through Irish Airspace and US troops in Shannon on their way to a genocide

That Simon Harris interaction has broken through in a huge way. Canvassing today and yesterday, multiple people raised it with me.
It encapsulates the failure to listen to those impacted by the crisis of care. If Harris cannot even acknowledge the crisis, how can he fix it?

Warm response on the doors this afternoon for Gino Kenny TD.

Great to meet again with Darragh Adelaide who is doing brilliant work on the council💪🏼

If you are living in Dublin Mid-West please give Gino your No.1 vote next Friday!

Loads of Gino’s posters damaged around Lucan while establishment parties posters left untouched - who ever is doing this is clearly happy with the status quo

6 people standing on the Newcastle road N4 bridge in Lucan holding Palestine flags and signs stating genocide in Gaza

Lucan Bridgil last Friday & every Friday

With the election - let them know No OTB No Vote: Pass the Occupied Territories Bill immediately. Close Shannon airport to US troops. Stop the use of Irish air space to transport munitions. Stop the Central Bank facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds

Oohh they don't like the 100 years of FF/FG point.
#RTEUpfront

In Fingal East, Dublin Mid West or anywhere - a vote for Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael is a vote for complicity with genocide.

A silent protest was held in Lucan yesterday

17,000 kids have been murdered in Gaza in one year - equal to the 17,431 kids living in Lucan

Unimaginable slaughter is happening right now and our government still allows munitions through Irish airspace heading to Israel. Stand up - speak out
