People Before Profit Oppose Dublin City Council Rent Hikes โ€œThis is austerity by stealth. Council management are being forced to act like accountants because the State has walked away from its responsibility to fund public housing. "The Councilโ€™s job is to provide safe, affordable homes, not to claw money out of tenants to balance the books."

88% of FAI members have backed a call for UEFA to ban Israel from all competitions over their brutal apartheid and genocide against the Palestinian people.

The effort to cut all ties with the apartheid state of Israel is a powerful reminder that while our government and institutions remain shameful

79% of homes bought last year went straight into the hands of landlords and most of them already own ten or more properties. Ordinary people arenโ€™t fighting each other for homes. Weโ€™re up against vultures and profiteers who are hoarding thousands of houses that should be going to families desperate

The political establishment has targeted ordinary people with the myth that we all share equal responsibility for the climate crisis.

In a truly equal society, that might be fair - but we donโ€™t live in that society, what we live in is much much closer to the opposite. The top 10% produce almost as

The housing crisis isnโ€™t an accident - itโ€™s the result of landlords price-gouging ordinary people for profit, while big investors and vulture funds snap up nearly 80% of homes sold in this state.

On top of that, for every 1 long-term rental, there are 12 Airbnbs - a system that puts tourists ahead

Catherine Connollyโ€™s historic victory is a turning point for the Irish left.

The choice is there tomorrow.

The President will either be an establishment candidate, or someone who has stood against government and crises their policies have created for decades.
