When this government talks about “deepening cooperation” with the EU and with our so-called allies - allies who, when you ask Fine Gael, all seem to be exclusively members of NATO, we should be very clear about who they’re aligning us with. These are military elites who dream of an endless supply of

Wednesday morning, 19 November, People Before Profit will use our Private Members’ Time to introduce a joint left opposition motion calling on the Government to strengthen its Israeli Settlements Bill - banning trade in services as well as goods from illegal settlements in occupied Palestinian terri

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 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

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.

Ordinary people don’t stand a chance in a market rigged for:

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

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

Shamrock Rovers fans and Derry City fans👏 For over 50 years, bereaved families have been waiting for some semblance of justice. Today, that justice has been cruelly denied.

Now onto the Dáil. Let’s build a united left that can carry this momentum forward and replace FF and FG once and for all.

A fascist agitator assaulted a group of Catherine Connolly canvassers today and proudly admitted it while recording the attack. Solidarity with the canvassers involved, and with Mary Lou McDonald, who was also subjected to unacceptable verbal abuse during the incident.

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

Voters have delivered an historic rejection of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil and a victory for the left. Despite a negative campaign of fears and smears from the political establishment, people appear to have delivered the largest Presidential vote ever - for Catherine Connolly. This is a vote for the v

Violence at Citywest Hotel will do nothing for the young victim of sexual assault. The man who has been arrested for it is in custody and wasn’t even living in Citywest Hotel when he was arrested.

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.

Our response to gender-based violence has to be bold, consistent, and rooted in solidarity, not fear or division. The vast majority of gender-based violence in Ireland is committed by men known to the victim, often in their own homes - yet services remain chronically underfunded, and survivors are l

The final poll before Friday’s election shows Connolly surging ahead once again, up another 8% since the last poll. But polls don’t win elections, people do.
