View from the stage as the massive crowd approaches in Dublin. #FreePalestine

Typical gardaí who've allowed the far-right bigots block roads, stop traffic, discommode people going about the daily lives. But, pro Palestinian marchers get battered & pepper sprayed with vicious intent.

Where's the 'softly, softly' approach now?!

Tomorrow in Dublin 💚✊️🇵🇸

Connolly defends trying to hire woman convicted of gun crimes after Taoiseach attacks judgement As revealed by The Journal yesterday Catherine Connolly sought to hire a woman sentenced to six years in jail by the Special Criminal Court.

Honestly, I find it pretty distasteful that prisoner rehabilitation - a very bog standard liberal value, not even an especially radical one - can be very easily thrown out the window by the likes of Michéal Martin for the sake of cheap politicial point-scoring. www.thejournal.ie/catherine-co...

🇵🇸 Speakers and performers for our National March for Palestine on Saturday. Join us, show our unbreakable solidarity with the Palestinian people, mark two years of genocide and insist on sanctions from our government to stop apartheid Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Presidential Election 2025: Heather Humphreys - shamefully voted in favour of more than €84 million in state grants to dog-killing greyhound racing • Catherine Connolly - “I have serious difficulty with greyhound racing.” Voted against state grants to greyhound racing. #aras25 #aras2025 #pe25

The route for our National March for Palestine on Saturday 4th October. Join us and show our unbreakable solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers. We demand our government sanction apartheid Israel for its genocide now.
All out for Palestine! #SanctionsNow #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Catherine Connolly signing her papers in the Custom House

The papers are in.

It’s official, Catherine Connolly is on your ballot card for October 24.

Now, let’s get her elected!

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't).

My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

One of the central themes of all our protests is demanding the government *that you lead Simon Harris* takes action, ends Ireland’s complicity in Israel’s genocide and sanctions the apartheid state. This is next level gaslighting from the Tánaiste. #SanctionsNow

UTTERLY BIZARRE.
We have had 16 National Marches for Palestine, countless other demos, plus all the mobilisation around the country for almost two years. We have shown consistent solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers. None of it acknowledged by the government 1🧵

Somehow neglects to mention she's been the leading Brunhilde for the IDF the past 18 months.

More than 160 great organisations are endorsing our National March for Palestine on Saturday! 1pm, Garden of Remembrance. Join us, bring your rage, grief and solidarity. All out for Palestine! #SolidarityIsAVerb #FreePalestine 🇵🇸

Fancesca Albanese for the Nobel Peace Prize I've just signed this petition calling on the Irish Government to nominate Francesca Albanese for the Nobel Peace Prize. Will you sign too?

UN Special Rapporteur, @francescaalbo.bsky.social is under attack for her excellent work exposing apartheid Israel's crimes against Palestinians and the corporations complicit in genocide in Gaza. Now the US has sanctioned her. Our government must protect her. Sign!

We are working now in the hospital, and the tanks are only a few meters away from us… we are closer to death than to life. The soldiers show no mercy, not to a child, nor an elder, nor a doctor or a nurse. We remain here because we are human, and our mission is humanitarian. If these ravens snatch our lives, don’t forget us. Don’t turn us into numbers. We love life— we have dreams, just like you. We have children and spouses we love deeply. But to be truly human means not abandoning those who need your humanity. Tell the world about us. Tell them we were more human than those who only claimed to be. Tell them we chose earth over abandoning our noble mission. Do not call us heroes— just tell them we understood what it truly means to be human. It was a blessing to get to know you all… forgive us. We are not numbers. —Medical Staff, Nasser Medical Complex, Gaza Mohammed Sager, nursing director, Nasser Medical Complex

Remember the hospital Al Shifa whiteboard message? Now this:

This 83-year-old priest has just been arrested for holding a sign which read:

“I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.”

According to Starmer’s new law, this puts her in the same category as an ISIS or Al-Qaeda terrorist, with a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

We can not allow the government dilute or bury our revolutionary past. We can not allow soulless corporate retailers or anyone else destroy such an important space in our City - people power can stop them

The IDF is an organisation. An organisation that is currently enthusiastically engaged in a genocide of an unarmed and imprisoned civilian population. Calling for the death of that organisation would seem to be both reasonable and morally imperative

Your reminder that the Irish government has known about this for YEARS, yet refuses to implement it in Ireland.

Will comment further when I've left Egypt.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸

These are the final seconds we have from Paul.

His phone has been taken, and his passport.

We urgently need Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris TD to intervene, demand he is freed, his passport & phone returned and the protesters are allowed to peacefully #MarchToGaza

Please email tanaiste

Shocking new stats reveal that greyhounds are continuing to suffer and die in racing around Ireland. 106 greyhounds suffered injuries in the first 4 months of 2025 & 54 were "euthanised" by track vets. 2 other greyhounds died after suffering broken necks banbloodsports.wordpress.com/2025/05/17/t...

I'm sure that firing Dr Ryan is just a coincidence after his eloquent, passionate advocacy for the victims of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza and his repeated statements that maybe slaughtering and starving an entire generation of innocent children is a shitty thing to do.

108 horses were killed at racecourses around Ireland in 2024, it has emerged 💔🐴 The sickening statistics have come to light following a Dail Question from Paul Murphy TD www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=... #YouBetTheyDie #RejectRacing ❌🏇❌
