A generation locked out of real housing, now told to rent sheds in back gardens.
This is not a solution. It is a distraction from the failure to build affordable homes.
We need proper housing, not unregulated, unsafe alternatives with no tenant protections.
_"The Government’s consistent cheerleading for data centre expansion has reached a point of reckless disconnect from the economic reality of Irish citizens... Irish families are paying nearly double the electricity rates of these industrial facilities, effectively subsidizing the massive energy consumption of global tech giants while struggling with a punishing cost-of-living crisis." https://greenparty.ie/news/uncritical-expansion-data-centres-will-fuel-social-inequality-and-energy-crisis-cllr-hazel-chu
Data centres uses 32% of Ireland's total electricity supply but pay almost less than half of the residential rate. So we're effectively subsidizing tech giants during a cost of living & energy crisis. Meanwhile this Govt continues to cheerlead their expansion & continue to fail in their obligations.
91 year old Lelia Doolan walked from Shannon to Dublin to send this message.
"The left has one job in the months ahead, and it is not to run their play from the other side of the pitch. It is to name what it would build, who it would build it with, and by what methods."

The misogynistic far-right bigot Duffy claims he's the victim of a smear campaign for something he DID SAY and still stands by 🙄
Infinitely more worrying is the number of Irish people (and others) who genuinely are concerned about climate change and Palestine who still support the bastard!!!
A little teddy bear in memory of Teddy Farry
You may know we had a family bereavement in late 2025 and while I’m not able to talk about it, my sister, the bravest person in the world, has written a small note and is running the Mini Marathon in memory of our Teddy.

Do you know what would be really great to see? All those tractors driving down to Doonbeg and occupying the golf course of the man who got everyone into this mess...
The Irish government (of which Micheál Martin was a member) was told years ago how Finland solved homelessness through implementing Housing First.
Ireland chose not to do the same, and now has more than 17,000 people in emergency accommodation, with tens of thousands more "hidden homeless".
Israel claims to be a modern, progressive country, and though this has long been exposed as fallacy, its decision to employ the death penalty for Palestinians reasserts the barbaric nature of its regime.
This is another tool to subjugate the Palestinian people.

Irish people: We're tired of our adult children having to live at home.
Irish government: Have you tried putting them in the garden
They're just endlessly gaslighting us.
Exhausting.
Your reminder that @finegael.bsky.social MEPs voted for this and the far right celebrated.
May the dead haunt every moment of their dreams, in this life and the next.
What can you even say about this anymore? Just have to keep sharing the numbers cause they're desperate for people to become desensitised to it all
This story does not just reveal the lack of transparency in our national media, it challenges the familiar line from prominent commentators that we need a 'serious' debate about defence and security. 1/3

The "they" in this question is not just the politicians in power - it's those of you who voted to put them there.
Every single one of you own this, and yet again you'll do or say nothing for fear that it might cost you in some way.
The biggest party in Ireland is, and always has been, Mé Féin.
This is just getting fucking ridiculous. A fucking retirement village being evicted. All thanks to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil policy.
The change in legislation rushed in by FGFF means these poor fuckers have no recourse. OAPs out on the street.
#speirgorm #Ireland
Remember we were told that lifting the evictions ban would payoff in the medium to long term? Is this it paying off?
I think that was a real line in the sand moment. A line that runs from "evictions are ok in a housing crisis" straight to "a retirement village is being evicted"
Of all the ranks of FG & FF TDs in the last 15+ years is there not ONE capable, logical human who can run the Dept of Housing to ensure it delivers on its remit of providinghousing? Not even one?
This looks like one of the State’s special all-timer bad ideas.
President Catherine Connolly has described the situation in the Middle East as a "deliberate assault on international law".

Spineless and shameless.
I have woken up to excellent news.
Now can certain Irish parties PLEASE stop thinking the way to win elections is to pander to the right?
This is a chance for the team to show their values in action and stand with the people of Palestine.
Reverend Jesse Jackson, the US Civil rights campaigner and two-time presidential candidate, has died aged 84.
In a statement today the Jackson family said Reverend Jackson died peacefully Tuesday surrounded by his family.
