No more delays. No more excuses.

A full ban on trade with the illegal settlements is the very least we should be doing.

Ireland has a proud history of resisting empire and standing up to colonialism - we must not continue the complicity that this government is happy to ignore.

Government's housing plan is an admission of failure in advance.

The policy of stuffing increasingly more money into the pockets of private developers and corporate landlords will continue to fail.

We need a State Construction Company to cut out the profiteering and directly build public housing.

Have a look at Micheál Martin scrambling.

He doesn't like his gross hypocrisy called out.

He wants to bring in dirty fracked gas.

Speaking out of one side of his mouth at #COP30, and back to usual when he's home.

We have to be clear about the truth in the face of government spin.
Disabled people have been made poorer by about €1400.
Don't be fooled. It's a political choice to make people struggle more this year.

Renters are sacrificed to vulture funds by this government.

Government policy is to increase rents higher and faster to try and "attract international investment funds".

We need an eviction ban and rent controls to actually bring rents down.

The revelations at the weekend from a CHI whistleblower are shocking.

We need a full public inquiry for #JusticeForHarvey.

The Dáil must debate this issue and have the minister answer questions on this issue.

"Nothing about us without us"

Our communities know the difficulties that come with deprivation and drug abuse.

The people on the ground involved in delivering these essential services have to be included in the implementation of the National Drugs Strategy.

Where is the funding for DRIVE??

This government seems to be pulling funding for this essential project, leaving families in the lurch from the 1st of January.

Services like these are essential in our communities and they MUST be properly resourced and funded!

Don't let them get away with trying blame migrants and give themselves cover.

The housing, healthcare, and cost of living crises we face are a result of continuing government policy.

All the government is talking about doing is turning up the dial of performative cruelty on a minority - on asylum

"It seems like this government is continuing the policy that we've seen over the past 10 years or so of effectively the slow strangulation of our drugs and alcohol task forces."

We need actual investment and serious funding for these essential services in our communities.

"Everyday, pretty much, I get emails about the state of the bus services in Ballycullen, Knocklyon, Rathfarnham."

Buses fill after the first few stops, and don't collect the rest of the route.

It doesn't have to be like this.

We should have massively expanded bus routes and services.

It's now day 48 of the hunger strike by survivors of the industrial and reformatory schools.

Maurice, Mariam, Mary, and Mary need written commitments for their very basic asks.

They need access to HAA medical cards and full state contributory pension.

The government must act now.

"I would appeal to anyone protesting outside any IPAS centre to think about what impact you're having, protesting outside children's homes at this stage."

It’s very important that those of us who stand for the working class and ordinary people in this country must speak the truth at this moment.

"There is a direct line between the dog whistling of government leaders, scapegoating of asylum seekers based on misinformation, a direct line between that and the creation of a hostile environment."
Once again, the government is leaning into this scapegoating.

They want to distract
Don't let them.
