Yet another couple forced abroad for medical termination due to Ireland’s abortion laws. Baby’s bodies hidden in cars again. The suffering this woman endured travelling could’ve killed her. Cowardly politicians made distinction not made in other countries re fatal & severe abnormalities. #TFMR
Disabled community protesting for winter payment and restoration of stolen supports. People choosing between heating or eating. #affordableireland #disablity
The US and Israel are the most dangerous force on the planet. The bombing of #Iran is reprehensible, another imperialist assault for oil & profit. It will in no way benefit those who’ve challenged the Iranian regime. We await Irish govt condemnation.
#IWD #RiseUp
The govt has had a huge reaction to its plans to reduce #SNAs.
Vital protest on Wednesday. Be there. Whether you have an SNA, need one of simply want to support students with additional needs to keep the essential supports SNAs provide - stand with #SNAs
Despite the weather, thousands marched for #Palestine today to remind our govt there is no peace in Gaza. We want #noshamrocksforTrump
I spoke on government Bill on insolvency just now & asked the minister for Employment would he legislate to protect workers such as what happened at Debenhams. Absolute ignorance - wouldn’t deign to reply. Pal of Michael O’Leary so workers rights don’t merit a response. #PasstheDebenhamsBill
Another day, another man pouring boiling water on his wife & trying to hammer her to death. These are never sudden attacks - victim notes she walked on eggshells for 40 years. #IntimatePartnerViolence
Cynical cuts to #SNAs.

The #FAI needs to grow a backbone, refuse to play & put pressure on UEFA. All teams should until genocidal #Israel is banned. Palestinian footballers have been murdered for goodness sake. Show some courage, stop the complicity. It’s not even a vital tournament.
New rental rules passed in Dáil tonight by 79/70 votes. Rents will only increase. A real landlords law. Incentives to evict people because rents can rise with a new tenancy. #housingcrisis
Deputy #Cairns: "given the quite contentious things coming from the White House…perhaps it's more important than ever to use this unique platform Ireland has". Terrible stuff. There should be no business as usual with a racist, genocider & paedophile. (As if Micheál Martin would speak out too!)
Some media will do anything to prevent calling Epstein’s victims ‘children’
or ‘girls’.
They were not ‘women’.
And what is an ‘underage woman’?
#GeoreMitchell was lauded in Ireland for decades for his role as a mediator in the Belfast ‘Good Friday’ Agreement. Having his name taken off this award should just be the start. Hundreds more to go though. Let’s keep going for Virginia and all the other child victims / survivors. #BillClinton next
Heading out to @rteradio1.bsky.social for the This Week programme leaders slot on behalf of People Before Profit-Solidarity. 1pm on - tune in.
Palestine, Venezuela, Greenland, Ice - so many reasons not to give #Trump a PR boost on St Patrick’s Day. Now #EpsteinFiles horrors is another. Join the ROSA protest
Went to see this play in the Gaiety tonight. Incredible one-woman performance by Jodie Comer & compelling script/production. She got immediate standing ovation.
Defence lawyer sees the other side of the misogynistic courtroom when she becomes a rape victim/survivor. See it if you can. #PrimaFacie
The state has again covered up for the armed support Garda who shot George SIX times within a minute of arrival on scene - twice in the back. No justification for this to deal with someone with a kitchen knife. The DPP power to block vital prosecutions must end. #JusticeforGeorgeNkencho
RTE reporting verbatim a Garda sargent claim at #GeorgeNkencho Inquest that there’s absolutely no way the situation could have been de-escalated. George had just walked home peacefully, watched by Gardai. Armed support arrived & shot him 6 times. Gardai surrounding, shouting & firing is escalation.
Govt’s & Civil Law Bill that still allows #counsellingnotes be used in trials is voted thru at 2nd stage. We will campaign for amendment to ban therapy notes in court at 3rd stage. Watch this space.
Another #manel on @tonightvmtv.bsky.social to discuss the manly issues of scramblers endangering lives; tenants’ rights; and the weather.
Going backwards in representation in media.
Heartbreaking💔. Solidarity with family of Grace Lynch killed in Finglas by someone on a scrambler bike. These and scooters are a scourge, especially in working class communities. Action is wanted now, as seen by turnout tonight. #GraceLynchRIP
Ireland! We only need 4,000 more signatures to pass our threshold. C'mon!!

“The shooting of Porter, who leaves behind daughters aged 10 and 20, was not caught on camera”
How convenient for ICE
This was a summary execution, end of.
ICE murdered a nurse trying to save a woman from attack. #ICE should be abolished & put on trial. The Irish government shouldn’t give a grovelling PR opportunity to the President who licences them & shields their crimes. We should instead show solidarity to the thousands striking & protesting them.
With all due respect maybe you should listen to someone who studied the case for 5 years & sat at the Inquest listening to the garda for hours. You don’t shoot someone six times within 1 minute of arriving at a scene - someone with a kitchen knife, on his own doorstep. Now he’s getting away with it
