FG, FF, SF and II all vote to give €100 million of public money to the horse and greyhound racing industry.
That's three times more money than the core funding for all our sports!
€20 million is going to the cruel greyhound racing industry.
Shameful.

The landlord parties (FG, FF and Independent Ireland) have just voted to leave renters in the cold.
They have blocked our Bill to introduce minimum BER standards in the rental sector to stop renters being left in cold, damp and mouldy homes.

Reject the 'Uberisation' of our taxis!
Don't support this race to the bottom!
The government must establish a publicly owned, not-for-profit app operated by the NTA, mandated to protect taxi drivers’ incomes and to protect customers against Uber's surge pricing.

Former FG TD John Deasy giving the game away.
This is the plan of FF/FG on immigration - use it to distract from their failures on housing.
Don't let them. Don't be distracted.
They're the reason there are 16,000+ homeless now, and why it will continue to get even worse.

Join the protest today against Dublin City Council's attempt to hike rents for Council and HAP tenants. This will push many people over the edge.
If they get away with it in Dublin City, expect the same in South Dublin and across the country.

A sunny day for dropping Cllr. Kay Keane's newsletter in Cushlawn.
We have to build on the success of the Connolly campaign to demand action on housing, cost of living and defence of neutrality.
We need to kick FF/FG out and have a Left government to put people before profit.

Stop trade in goods and services with the illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine.

I wrote an article for the Irish Times outlining how the rule of FF/FG can finally be ended.
We need to come together on the basis of demanding the right to a home, action on the cost of living crisis, disability justice, a NHS, just climate action and defence of our neutrality.

On the march for climate justice.
The Taoiseach talks the talk in Brazil and then comes home and continues to put Big Tech, Big Oil and Big Agribusiness before people and planet.
We need ecosocialist change to radically improve people's lives and avoid climate catastrophe.

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.

There can be no climate justice without social justice.
We're slipping deeper into a barbaric world that concentrates even more wealth into the hands of the biggest polluting billionaires and corporations.
It doesn't have to be like this, but we'lll have to take back power from tthem!

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.

FF-FG are "prisoners of an ideology".

Disabled people have been made poorer by about €1400.

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.
