A burnt-out home is on sale for €225,000, described by Ray Cooke as needing a “full renovation.”
The truth? It’s not just this house that needs renovation - it’s our entire housing system.

The public has had enough of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Over half want Micheál Martin gone — and more people want a left government than another round of the same establishment rule. It’s time to break from FF/FG and build a real socialist alternative

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 aren’t fighting each other for homes. We’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 don’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 isn’t an accident - it’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 Connolly’s historic victory is a turning point for the Irish left. Despite a wall of media smears, her campaign inspired a movement from below and showed that most people reject Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s tired politics. The majority back neutrality, housing rights, and real equality - t

Spoil your vote or strike a blow against the establishment?
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.

Ireland must not be intimidated by Britain's stance on Palestine
Presidential contender subjected to smears for views on foreign policy.
When Catherine Connolly speaks up for Palestine and Irish neutrality, the establishment brands her “disrespectful.” Standing up to Britain and war crimes isn’t disrespect. Ireland mustn’t bow to Starmer or the US.

It’s the fist time in almost 20 years.
State admits it’s allowed weapons through Ireland to Israel. The state has admitted it allowed munitions of war – onboard a US military plane authorised by Simon Harris to touch down at Shannon Airport – to travel through Irish territory on their way to Israel.
