What an honour that our President chose to spend his last May Day in office with trade unions.
"Your movement is the greatest hope for economy, ecology, and justice.
"Your campaign for trade union week needs to show everyone that there is dignity in work, and hope in the collective."

Today Smoke-Free Workplaces have come of age in Ireland as it's 21 years since their introduction by law.

Turns out that a man who entirely baselessly and bizarrely calls a British minister a rape genocide enabler and tweets random conspiracy theories day and night might neither be the most stalwart nor reliable political ally.

Year in review:
June 2024!
Of all the photos taken in the RDS this is my favourite. The 4 women who made it happen - two campaign managers, Labour’s General Secretary and the Labour Party leader.

Over the weekend, a lot of people were angry at how a disability support worker was treated by Simon Harris. He apologised.
But in reality, workers like her are still fighting for equal pay.

Olivia O’Leary: There’s an air of autocracy about some of Sinn Féin’s recent pronouncements
