The government will set up a committee of rich American lobbyists - its a way to bypass public scrutiny.
In December American business lobbyists raised objections to the Occupied Territories Bill as reported in the Irish Times.
These people will say jump and our government will ask how high

Local TD’s Shane Moynahan and Emer Higgins voted to block the Occupied Territories Bill progressing this week - despite having it in their election manifestos before Christmas. This Bill is the minimum they can do

📢Ballot for Barnardos.
Shockingly, management at @barnardos-ireland.bsky.social haven’t honoured a State-funded pay deal of 8% for 2023/24. They’ve only passed on 4% & pointed to a previous pay increase as the reason why.
The people caring for vulnerable children deserve better than this.
Ireland needs to implement a full ban on all trade (goods and financial services) with the illegal Israeli settlements at the bare minimum. This is required of Ireland under international law which was made clear by the International Court of Justice

Switzerland has opened a criminal investigation into Israeli soldiers and officials on their soil accused of complicity in Gaza war crimes, following a complaint from the Hind Rajab Foundation.

Revenue officials on Henry St Christmas markets
The last estimate was that more than Ireland’s annual GDP passes almost completely untaxed through the IFSC every week, but today we have Revenue marching through Henry St in case Seasonal Workers aren’t playing 100% by the tax rules.
Check your 'Independents'!
Make sure you don't vote for so-called 'Independents' that are just playing the game, and are going to put FF&FG back in power.
A MAJORITY of them did NOT vote against Varadkar or Martin becoming Taoiseach...

Another instance of the far-right attacking the left during this election, this time physically assaulting one of our canvassers and pulling out a weapon.
Not once have they gone after government parties—they are stooges for the status quo.

This Friday when you’re voting remember who:
- Refused to expel the Israeli ambassador
- refused to sanction Israel
- actively blocked Occupied Territories Bill
-Allows munitions through Irish Airspace and US troops in Shannon on their way to a genocide
That Simon Harris interaction has broken through in a huge way. Canvassing today and yesterday, multiple people raised it with me.
It encapsulates the failure to listen to those impacted by the crisis of care. If Harris cannot even acknowledge the crisis, how can he fix it?

Warm response on the doors this afternoon for Gino Kenny TD.
Great to meet again with Darragh Adelaide who is doing brilliant work on the council💪🏼
If you are living in Dublin Mid-West please give Gino your No.1 vote next Friday!
Loads of Gino’s posters damaged around Lucan while establishment parties posters left untouched - who ever is doing this is clearly happy with the status quo

They continue to allow the US military to use Shannon airport and allow weapons through our airspace, refuse to impose sanctions and facilite the sale of Israeli war bonds

6 people standing on the Newcastle road N4 bridge in Lucan holding Palestine flags and signs stating genocide in Gaza
Lucan Bridgil last Friday & every Friday
With the election - let them know No OTB No Vote: Pass the Occupied Territories Bill immediately. Close Shannon airport to US troops. Stop the use of Irish air space to transport munitions. Stop the Central Bank facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds
Oohh they don't like the 100 years of FF/FG point.
#RTEUpfront
In Fingal East, Dublin Mid West or anywhere - a vote for Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael is a vote for complicity with genocide.
A silent protest was held in Lucan yesterday
17,000 kids have been murdered in Gaza in one year - equal to the 17,431 kids living in Lucan
Unimaginable slaughter is happening right now and our government still allows munitions through Irish airspace heading to Israel. Stand up - speak out
