Elon Musk has officially become the world's first trillionaire, while the rest of us struggle to put food on the table One man now holds more wealth than all of Ireland We don't need trillionaires or billionaires. We need a system that works for everyone Tax extreme wealth. Fund regular people
"United by Music," says Eurovision. We beg to differ. Ireland has withdrawn from Eurovision in Vienna alongside Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Five countries refusing to share a stage with Israel as it commits war crimes in Gaza Not united by music. United by humanity & compassion
Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland now all have pro-independence parties in charge Referendums in all three are a real possibility It's not our place to tell our neighbours what to do, but the break-up of the UK would impact us directly. We need direct partnerships, not just with Westminster
Happy Europe Day! 🇪🇺 New polling shows how deeply European values are felt across this island: 📊 82% support Ireland's EU membership 📊 73% in Northern Ireland would vote to rejoin From Cork to Coleraine, from Galway to Belfast, our future is European 💜

🍀 Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone around the world! We're a small but mighty island who has shaped the world and its history! 🍀 Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona do chách ar fud an domhain! Is oileán beag ach láidir muid a mhúnlaigh an domhan agus a stair!
Exciting news: Iceland will soon vote on restarting negotiations to join the EU! Talks were paused in 2015. Now they’re back on the table For years critics said the EU was collapsing after the UK left, but the opposite is happening In an uncertain world, Europe is stronger when we work together 🇪🇺
104 years after independence, Ireland still relies on the UK to defend our skies and waters. We spend less on defence than any other neutral country in Europe. But if we can’t defend our own airspace, what’s the point of being neutral? It's time for a serious conversation! 🇮🇪🇪🇺
War never changes. It destroys homes. It tears families apart. It scars generations. Every European country has witnessed what Ukraine is going through. 4 years after Russia’s illegal invasion, Ukrainians are still defending their country and their right to exist. We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇪🇺
Irish - a language once suppressed - is growing again. Irish gained full EU status in 2022, and today thanks to EU funding and a cultural revival, almost 2 million people speak it. Europe didn’t erase our identity - it protected it 🇮🇪🇪🇺 Happy International Mother Language Day!
Too much politics online lately? Let’s talk about it in a pub instead 🇮🇪 🇪🇺 📍 The Bleeding Horse, Dublin 🗓 Friday 20 February at 6pm Whether you’re a long-time member or just curious about Volt, you’re very welcome! Come for the politics, stay for the craic!
Today the UK talked about rebuilding ties with Europe. In Ireland, we know why it matters - Brexit is a daily reality in Northern Ireland, and its impact is felt across the Irish Sea. EU membership helped heal old divides between our two countries too. No hard feelings. The door’s open 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺
New winter bug detected: Trumpitis 🦠 Spreads across the Atlantic. Hits Europe fast. Lasts longer than we’d like. When America sneezes, Europe gets sick. But there's a remedy - Vitamin EU 🇪🇺 Stronger together and immune to what America throws at us! #Trump #Europe #VoltEuropa #Ireland
A new poll shows 85% of Greenlanders reject becoming part of the United States. And when you compare life under Denmark vs the USA, it’s not hard to see why. Greenland’s future must be decided by Greenlanders — not outside powers treating the Arctic like a prize. Europe & Denmark must stand firm!
Thank you! We have reached 20,000 signatures for the United States of Europe petition. 💜🇪🇺 Please share it far and wide: actionnetwork.org/petitions/united-states-of-europe-now-national-leaders-unlock-our-potential?source=direct_link
Let's keep the purple fire in our hearts burning in 2026. 💜 Today is the last day to join Volt in 2025 🤩 https://volt.team/simple-join/en
Wishing everyone across Ireland, Europe, and around the world a very happy, peaceful, and hopeful Christmas. From all of us at Volt Ireland, thank you for your support this year - Nollaig Shona Daoibh! / Merry Christmas!
Eurovision's motto is "United By Music", but how can we be united when one country is committing war crimes? Ireland and other countries are now withdrawing from the Eurovision Song Contest. It's time we stop whitewashing the Israeli Government's crimes against humanity #eurovision
Comhghairdeas Catherine Connolly on becoming the 10th Uachtarán na hÉireann When the first President of Ireland was elected, the world was on the brink of war. Today, we face that same challenge Here is our message to you, Ireland: youtu.be/MjxEX2jUy5c?...

Donald Trump now claims paracetamol / tylenol causes autism. Across Europe & the rest of the world, experts agree: it’s safe for pregnant women. There’s no link to autism. Trust science. Trust doctors. Trust the rest of the world - not Trump’s America.
Ireland will not take part in 2026 Eurovision Song Contest if participation of Israel goes ahead, RTÉ Director-General says

RTÉ has announced this lunchtime that it will not take part in the 2026 Eurovision Song contest "if the participation of Israel goes ahead."

Should every message you send be scanned before it’s delivered? The EU’s Chat Control plan risks weakening encryption, treating everyone as suspects & exposing us to hacks. Protecting children needs better policing & education - not mass scanning. #ChatControl #EU #VoltEuropa
🌍 The 80th UN General Assembly is underway But wars rage on: 🇵🇸 Palestine faces genocide, 🇸🇩 Sudan’s civil war displaces millions, 🇨🇩 DR Congo sees mass killings, 🇺🇦 Ukraine continues to defend itself from Russian invaders. The UN must act - protect civilians, end the wars, demand justice.
Once again, the UK’s far-right want to leave the ECHR. But the Good Friday Agreement - which ended decades of conflict - depends on it Without ECHR protections, peace in Northern Ireland is at risk Northern Ireland is both the UK's and Ireland's responsibility - conflict must never return #ECHR
Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦 For 33 years, Ukraine has stood proud & free. Today that freedom is under attack Russia sees us in Europe as small & insignificant. But when we stand united, no global power can push us around. A free Ukraine means a free Europe 💙💛 #SlavaUkraini #Europe #Ukraine
Today, the UN has confirmed famine in Gaza. Like Ireland’s Great Famine, it’s not nature - it’s political. In 1840s, Britain let millions starve. Now, Israel blocks aid & weaponises hunger. This is a crime against humanity. Europe must not stay silent. #gaza #ireland #palestine #volteuropa
We wouldn't accept our country losing territory - so why should Ukraine? If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, Putin wins. Ukraine deserves its full freedom, its full sovereignty, and every inch of its territory back! #slavaukraini #ireland #europe #volteuropa #ukraine

US trade wars mean the EU must invest in its own future
Amidst its chaotic retreat from multilateralism and the rule of law, the US government has unilaterally and recklessly decided to upend international trade as we know it, apparently on a whim. Tariffs...
