Child poverty isn’t evenly distributed across the country. Children in the hardest hit local authority area are seven times more likely to live in poverty compared to those in the area with the lowest rates.

One of the bad-faith appropriations of feminism is the use of suffragist colours by transphobes. President Connolly has reasserted the connection between universal suffrage, Ireland* & supporting the Queer community. Authentic feminism.
