Although the government have allowed our motion to pass they have refused to say when they will enact legislation or if it will include services, so we will still be protesting.

Dáil debate on @pb4p joint motion with other left parties on Occupied Territories Bill starts shortly at 10am. This government has no excuses for failing to pass this bill into law and finally impose sanctions on the Israeli regime for its genocidal crimes against Palestinians.

It’s long past time to pass the occupied territories bills. We must ban all trade with the illegal Israeli settlements and push for comprehensive sanctions against the apartheid state. #passtheoccupiedterritoriesbill #passtheotb

Important victory for Palestine and people power, ending the sale of Israeli war bonds through the Irish Central Bank, despite the inaction of our government. Now we must break all ties with the genocidal Israeli regime. #FreePalestine

A major victory for the Palestine solidarity movement, who fought tirelessly to end Ireland’s role in financing the genocide in Gaza. The government should have acted first, but this is still a huge win for the movement.

A Rebel's welcome for Mo Chara at Court this morning 🇵🇸 We won't let Britain or any state criminalise solidarity with Palestine! It's not Mo Chara that should be in the dock, it's Keir Starmer, Sunak + the British ruling class who are guilty of arming + enabling genocide!

FF/FG don't want to fix our housing crisis because they represent the property speculators, investors and corporate landlords who are profiting from the unaffordable rents, obscene house prices, lack of social housing and sub-standard housing that ordinary people have to endure.

The government don’t care about the housing crisis because they represent the interests of the crisis - those profiting from it, the speculators who crashed the economy in 2008, the landlords who have evicted tens of thousands of people since the crash and the vulture funds who
