Brian McCarthy Socialist Party councillor for the Cork City North West ward.
Joined June 2023
I'm disgusted at the cowardly queerphobic assault on two drag queens in Cork last night. The far right have created this climate of hatred and this shows how urgently we need to build a movement of solidarity to stand against them. Solidarity and support to Krystal and Lucina ✊

FFG want a president who'll just sit quietly in the Áras nodding along with everything they do. We need a president who'll speak out and put pressure on them, who refuses to be their puppet. Vote Catherine Connolly this Friday to put a left progressive voice in the Áras

Make sure you come out to the counter protest tomorrow, assembling 12pm on Grand Parade. The answer to racism and division is solidarity so stand with us tomorrow to send out the message loud and clear. Cork says no to racism, Cork says no to fascism and Nazis are not welcome ✊

The far right are having a racist march this Saturday in Cork and one of their main speakers is Justin Barrett. He openly describes himself as a nazi and calls Hitler the greatest leader of all time. Come to the counter protest, 12pm on Grand Parade. Cork says no to racism ✊

Even a weather warning hasn't stopped people turning out to march from City Hall to Micheál Martin's office to demand the government act to ensure the safe release of all Irish activists abducted and held hostage by the IOF

The chief executive has zero respect for these vital workers. After underpaying them by 42% a week for 6 years, she claims they've only been underpaid by a marginal amount! Several of them were at the meeting but she wouldn't even look in their direction https://t.co/rePpNEywcX

It's good to have progress but we were previously told it would be reopen later this year, now another term has been lost. These delays are unacceptable when we have more 5,000 kids in Cork waiting for childcare places. https://t.co/DCs957WRxb

The Before 5 Family Centre in Churchfield, which closed suddenly in August 2023, had provided pre-school childcare on the northside for five decades.
