When tributes roll in for Margaretta D'Arcy, remember she was an incredible ally to sex workers. Rest in Peace Margaretta
Last night, we attended the Women's 24-hour Vigil outside the Dáil. We joined Galway legend Margaretta D'Arcy, Raging Grannies, Red Umbrella Éireann, Street Workers Collective of Ireland, and Global Women's Strike.
Ireland needs to invest in care, not in military spending!

This is revolting. It's also entirely inappropriate for a civil servant to say this on the record - the Oireachtas has not yet changed the law, and he's getting into the merits of Government policy.

There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we @dublininquirer.com looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful – so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/

God fucking forbid we should have a policy based on respecting human rights rather than trying to be shittier than the next country. This is fucking disgusting
Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.
His statement comes following proposed reforms to the UK's asylum practices

Judicial reviews are very often the last resort local communities have in defending nature against greedy corporate interests + rotten planning.

Rather than castigating public-spirited ordinary people concerned by planning problems, the Government should focus on properly resourcing the planning and legal systems
