This would be such a huge mistake. We need a Left alternative for government. It can not include FG or FF, the architects of our housing and cost of living crises. #VoteLeftTransferLeft
Ivana Bacik proposal to SocDems and Greens to come together to negotiate with FF/FG is simply an invitation to repeat the same old mistakes of Labour. It would be a disaster. People want rid of FF/FG, not to prop them up. All on left should rule out coalition with FF/FG. #VoteLeftTransferLeft

The usual bullshit picture to illustrate a climate breakdown story; people enjoying a beach 😬
A great result for PBP in Dublin Central. We increased our vote share by 50% with 6.7% first preferences. Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin's organising against Council rent hikes will continue. People power can beat them. FF/FG have taken an historic hammering. We need a left government.
We may be out of the race in Galway West, but next week it's back to the real political work building in our communities fighting for working people where the government continues to fail. If you want to help build that, get involved! 1/3
Great letter in yesterday's Irish Times. There must be full and immediate sanctions on apartheid Israel for its genocidal crimes against Palestinians and its repeated kidnapping of humanitarian activists. #SanctionsNow
If you haven't voted yet and you live in Galway City or Connemara (Galway West constituency), you still have a little over an hour to get your vote in! Talk to your friends and family and make sure you all get your vote in. Every vote matters. Vote Left Transfer Left.
Vote for a fighter for working people in Galway West today. Vote Denman Rooke no. 1 and then transfer Left. #PeopleBeforeProfit #VoteLeftTrasnsferLeft
The legend @cmatbaby.bsky.social said a lot more in her acceptance speech than what RTÉ are reporting. (Video posted by Lisa McLoughlin on Instagram - www.instagram.com/reel/DYnTKR3...) #Speirgorm

I sat down with Mairéad from the Politics & More Podcast and had a lovely chat about what got me into politics, People Before Profit, and the platform I'm running on for the Galway West by-election. Vote is tomorrow. Give me, Denman Rooke, no.1 and then transfer Left. shows.acast.com/politics-more

Voting is tomorrow. Friday the 22nd of May. I'm asking for your no. 1 vote and to transfer Left. While this is a By-election so it won't affect the current govt immediately it will be an opportunity to build for the next election, which will hopefully be sooner than later. 1/3
One of the most psychotic legal proposals I've ever seen
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space". In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender. (Source: @TheTimes)
Shamefully FF, FG, & all the Lowry independents (apart from Barry Heneghan) voted down our Bill to sanction Israel. The government continues the approach of words and no actions. Just today they have been rightly criticising brutal Israeli treatment of Irish participants in the flotilla.
This is disgusting treatment of the Flotilla activists, the woman being abused at the start of the video is Irish woman Catriona Graham. Our government cannot continue to stand by as apartheid Israel kidnaps, assaults and incarcerates its citizens, it must impose sanctions now.
Its time for use it or lose it Take these 3 homes boarded up for at least 5 yrs, & empty much longer Located in much sought after area of Blackrock, Cork, where homes are in short supply How is their continued waste benefiting anyone? Everyone should have a home #DerelictIreland
Not only will the Ring Road not solve the traffic issues as report after report has highlighted only 3% is bypass traffic, but it will CPO and affect 54 homeowners. The N6 will encourage private car use, raise emissions, waste money, & not even solve traffic. www.connachttribune.ie/news/galway-...

"We hear a lot about ‘accidental landlords’ making ‘pin money’... The data tells a very different story: in 2022, the average gross rental income from second properties was €133,800, or 85% higher than households without a rental income." From DCTU FB: www.facebook.com/share/p/179k...

The Week in Politics on RTÉ had a chat with Denman Rooke ahead of the Galway West By-Election on the 22nd. Denman outlined his policies on housing, cost of living, neutrality, and the urgency of the Occupied Territories Bill. 1/2
Noel Thomas sure likes to present himself as an opposition politician. But we all know he was in Fianna Fáil for 10 years and even after leaving, his politics hasn't really changed. This video got sent to me today and man, it really outlines it out well. youtu.be/861r575BuLM?...
Who is Noel Thomas?

Nakba Day. 78 years since the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians to lay the foundations of the apartheid state of Israel. People Before Profit have brought a bill to the Dáil to implement full sanctions on Israel. We cannot allow a rogue, genocidal apartheid state continue as normal. 1/2
“For all their talk, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Independent Ireland offer more of the same disastrous policies that have led to the housing crisis in Galway and it is long past time for change”, said People Before Profit Galway West candidate Denman Rooke www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...
We need your support! In this last week of campaigning, we could use an extra push on fundraising. Our politics is one that takes on landlord and corporate interests. Which means we need support from working people like you. Any small amount helps. gofund.me/a30168647

I was on Drivetime on RTÉ Radio One yesterday discussing the main points of my campaign. Working people are being crushed with the cost of living and housing crises. 1/3
I thoroughly enjoyed @socialistdenman.bsky.social and @pbp.ie's event held in Ballybane this evening and it was great meeting everyone there. We must always remember that change is possible, the only thing stopping real change is our ability to come together. pbp.ie/join
