Statement on campaigning as 'Solidarity - the socialist alternative' From March 2026, the Socialist Party will be campaigning as Solidarity -- the socialist alternative. Our social media presence, website, publications and banners on demonstrations will reflect this. In this era of genocidal, ecocidal capitalism, and the fascist threat emanating from the same,

Well I suppose it's good they've finally after a decade of confusion chosen to consolidate under one name, however it is the wrong one.

Text from image: In the Members’ Restaurant, soup at lunch is now priced at €5.50, up from €5 previously. On the afternoon menu, deep-fried calamari with lemon and garlic aioli did cost €8 but has now been raised to €9.50. A prime beef burger was just €12 on the old menu; however, now TDs and senators must fork out €13.80. All desserts were repriced at €5.80, an increase of 80c on the €5 that was being charged to Oireachtas members.

You'd be tempted into the mucky world of politics by those prices!

‘Mary’s Law’ – A draft Bill to Recognise Ireland's Institutional ‘Pre-Deceased’ Persons Memorialisation: Recognition, Reconciliation & Paying it Forward!

I still think it was silly to take this case, it's such a fringe issue that has little resonance with real people's lives.

The bill to ban fox hunting in Ireland, proposed by People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger, has been defeated in the Dáil. The bill was defeated by a large majority. Twenty-four TDs voted to amend the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 to ban the hunting of a fox or foxes, and to provide for related matters. However, 124 TDs voted against. Reacting to the outcome, deputy Ruth Coppinger was very critical of Government parties and others who voted against it. In a social media post she said: "FF,FG, SF, Ind Irel and Aontu vote to keep fox hunting despite 85% opposing blood sports. Not the first time Dáil has been poles apart from population. We will fight on to #BanFoxHunting."

An unsurprising result, as is the shinners being on the regressive side of the fence.
