Fine Gael must think people are stupid as they scrape the bottom of the barrel with their smears against Catherine Connolly. It’s Fine Gael who refused to build public housing as they rolled out the red carpet for vulture funds. It’s Fine Gael who pushed home ownership out of

Sinn Féin is backing Catherine Connolly to be the next Uachtaráin na hÉireann! Our job is to get Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael out of government and to keep them out of the Áras. Anois an am. Anois uair na cinniúna. We can elect a President who will champion a United Ireland,

It's not "soft on crime" to defund criminal organisations by legalising cannabis, quite the opposite. @lukeming has so far been the only Irish politician to call the political cowardice in this regard. @TheGreenParty @SocDems @labour @pb4p Raise your voices! #legaliseit

President von der Leyen’s State of the Union Address is a missed opportunity to tackle multiple EU challenges head on. By refusing to use the word genocide in her speech, Ursula von der Leyen diminished the full scale of what Israel is doing in Gaza. https://t.co/wjtzSiLoyQ

Israeli war bonds will no longer be sold in Ireland. This has been stopped by the hard work of campaigners. I commend you all. It shows what people can acheive even without the support of their government. The genocide in Gaza won't stop until Israel face real sanctions for

There’s no hiding place for the Taoiseach today. You can’t be in government and in opposition at the same time. What exactly does Michael Lowry have over Micheál Martin? We’ll fight this all the way!

The Government’s grubby deal that they intend forcing through next week is all about facilitating Michael Lowry and his gang. Giving him opportunities only reserved for the opposition. But it doesn’t stop there. As part of this deal, Taoiseach’s Questions will now only
