Naoise Dolan: My hunger strike experience pales in comparison to Palestine Action activists’ plight A co-ordinated prison hunger strike has been ongoing for three weeks and has gained hardly any media attention.

Palestine Action-linked prisoners have been on hunger strike for three weeks now, with hardly any media attention. We need to stand with them and amplify what’s happening m.independent.ie/opinion/naoi...

Aontaím go hiomlán, bhí sé briste ón tús ó pheirspictíocht dhaonna ach ní hé sin an ceann acusan is cinnte!

Israel has killed at least 280 people in Gaza since the ‘ceasefire’ took effect. ‘The fragile ceasefire’ is a hand-wringing euphemism. It’s not fragile. It’s broken.

Dlúthpháirtíocht ó Éirinn, is gá idirghabháil a dhéanamh i gcoinne cinedhíothaithe ⁊ ba cheart dúinn uilig a bheith buíoch go bhfuil daoine á dhéanamh

Naoise Dolan: Climate action needs more class traitors like Greta Thunberg Cop30’s politicians, billionaires and bloviators claim they want to protect the Amazon. But in fact they are protecting Amazon, and countless other corporate interests.

The class interests of billionaires are fundamentally opposed to climate justice. Until they and the politicians who support them are willing to betray those interests, climate conferences are mere theatre m.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

Palestine Action Prisoners’ Hunger Strike to Become Biggest Since Irish Republicans | Novara Media Six Palestine Action prisoners are on hunger strike calling for all Israeli arms factories to be shut down and the end to what they call ‘systematic abuse’ in prison. Harriet Williamson reports.

Palestine Action activists in the UK are coordinating what will soon be the largest rolling prisoners’ hunger strike since the 1981 Irish hunger strike led by Bobby Sands novaramedia.com/2025/11/11/p...

Caithfimid ár rudaí (Gaelacha) féin a chruthú Ní caoirigh muid

Anailís @naoisedolan.bsky.social , mar chléach: níl an rialtas ar tí aon rud suntasach a dhéanamh ar son na teanga gan a bheith fórsáilte. An rath is mó a bhí ar an ngluaiseacht na Gaeilge, tharla sé nuair a chruthaigh na Gaeil ... gan a bheith ag fanacht le cead

Naoise Dolan: We need to create an Ireland where everyone can become fluent in Irish On a grassroots level, it could not be clearer: Irish people want to learn Irish. An island-wide Údarás na Gaeltachta study found last year that 74pc wish to improve their level.

The Irish language is in an all-time underfunding crisis, with Gaeltacht housing ever more unaffordable and record secondary school exemptions. Rather than lowering our expectations, we need to fight for Irish and for everyone’s chance to access it m.independent.ie/opinion/naoi...

Apartheid, genocide and colonial occupation showed themselves out of the World Sailing Conference in Dún Laoghaire today due to the actions of ordinary people. We can win when we stop waiting for our useless government to stop supporting Israel and simply do it ourselves

Agóidí ina choinne inniu

Mí ó shin d’fhuadaigh fórsaí Iosrael ó bhád mé, anois tá fáilte á cur roimh an stát sin go dtí ócáid seoltóireachta in Éirinn Mí i ndiaidh na n-ionsaithe ar rannpháirtithe agóid chabhlach Gaza tá fáilte á cur roimh Iosrael go hÉirinn ag an gComhdháil Seoltóireachta Dhomhanda atá ar siúl i nDún Laoghaire

Mí ó shin d’fhuadaigh Iosrael ó bhád mé, anois tá fáilte á cur roimhe go hÉirinn ag an gComhdháil Seoltóireachta Dhomhanda atá ar siúl i nDún Laoghaire. Scríobh mé faoi in Tuairisc tuairisc.ie/mi-o-shin-df...

Bíonn na daoine seo ag caint faoin nGaeilge mar a bheadh comhartha stádais inti. An fhírinne ná gur mionteanga í, agus nach bhfuil muid ag iarraidh ach na caighdeáin chéanna agus an meas céanna a thugtar d’aon teanga eile

BDS is a crucial part of that strategy, too. There are many ways to exert material pressure. But that is where our thinking needs to stay. ‘Raising awareness’ when the genocide has been live-streamed for two years, and moments of silence when silence is what got us here, won’t cut it

Lots of flotilla people at today’s blocking of Dublin port. We sailed not as a once-off gesture, but to build on it with direct action at home. Israel does not care what we think; the only way to impact the situation is by directly challenging the blockade and disrupting the flow of money and arms

Naoise Dolan: Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil’s lurch to the right on immigration will only create space for fascists to thrive The message seemed clear from Catherine ­Connolly’s landslide presidential ­victory: ordinary Irish people want a robust new vision, not a ­bargain bin version of far-right talking points.

Pandering to the far-right is both dangerous and ineffective. We already know from Germany, France and the UK that it only legitimises fascists. We need a positive alternative vision instead m.independent.ie/irish-news/p...

At some point someone is going to get killed, and Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s response will be to bicker over who’s faster at deporting people (who were forced to leave their country by EU imperialism in the first place)

Amárach!

🚨Joining us in Doyle's, Dublin 2 on Monday, 3 November at 6pm🚨

Eman Mohammed in conversation with The Ditch, Naoise Dolan and Liam Cunningham

The evening before the trial of the Shannon Three in Ennis

I’ll be in conversation with Liam Cunningham this Monday 6pm in Doyle’s off College Green, Dublin in support of Palestine and the Shannon Three

Mass descent to block Dublin Port this Sunday. The genocide will continue for as long as it’s profitable, we need to shut down trade to see any change

For context we were seeing death tolls like this on the worse days in September, when anyone with any sense was up in arms about it

It’s almost like colonial occupation is inherently violent and the word ‘ceasefire’ is meaningless as long as it’s in place

Bomaite rights sa foclóir nua 😍

Yes she did

Naoise Dolan: Catherine Connolly’s victory won’t fix our many woes, but it is a sign the tide is turning The first time I saw Catherine Connolly speak was at a Palestine protest in Dublin in May. It was lunchtime outside the Central Bank and perhaps 30 people were there.

Clíona Ní Dhúill, Príomhoide, Gaelscoil Lir, Teach Sagart. Labhraíonn sí faoin tionchar a bhí ag na círéibeanna i Citywest an tseachtain seo ar an scoil.

In RnaG interview, the principal of a Gaelscoil a 10-minute walk from Citywest talks about how students there reflect the diversity of the local community. It’s almost like the people claiming Irish is elitist are talking out their dtóineanna www.rte.ie/radio/podcas...

Is éacht thar barr é gur ceist shuntasach toghcháin í an Ghaeilge anois. 3% a cheap gurbh í an cheist ba thábhachtaí, i bpobalbhreith a chuimsigh gach ábhar. Ní hamháin Kneecap, ach An Dream Dearg, an Mórshiúl Gaeilge, agus roimhe sin an GCSG a chas an taoide. Ar aghaidh linn

Catherine Connolly committed to learning fluent Irish in 2004, well into adulthood, after regretting not being able to do a live interview with RnaG. Then she actually followed through. How is it ‘elitist’ to expect the same thing of a literal Minister of the Gaeltacht
