“The statement called for member states to have the right to expel foreigners convicted of serious crimes, even in cases where they “have acquired ties to their host country”, including establishing a family life in the new country.” They already do. I cannot tell you how little family life matters

After 10+ years of people fighting against it, this government is pushing through this dystopian CETA legislation.
Corporations can and will sue the state for interfering with their profits - for example increasing the minimum wage, against fracking bans, etc.
This is incredibly undemocratic.

I've spoken to a few TDs and they seem to genuinely believe that foxhunting is something farmers do to control troublesome foxes. Remarkably they don't seem to have done a modicum of research into who actually does it

And while I certainly blame far right agitators, Facebook etc, and sleeveens like McGuirk/Gript for fomenting this kind of awful stuff, Simon Harris and others in government need to take a hard look at themselves and their rhetoric

Asylum seekers have told of how they were followed by men on motorcycles before being subjected to an alleged attack in rural Co Dublin yesterday.
The incident – which saw the young men beaten and their car windows smashed – has been condemned.

Palestine campaigning in Ireland and the UK has badly needed more union action and collective support of workers. That’s where the most power is, not with celebrity activists; the murder machine relies on labour. Stand with this Tesco worker who refused to handle Israeli goods
