More and more people are refusing to pay the licence fee. This is a regressive unjust tax which should go.
Instead of replacing it with a broadcasting charge on ordinary families as the government plans, we should tax the Big Tech companies.

PBP warned lifting the eviction ban would mean people being evicted into homelessness. That is happening now.
The government decided to enable more homelessness to facilitate landlords. Why? Because they are a government of landlords for the landlords.

Sinn Féin should join @pb4p in pledging not to put FF or FG back into power.
Despite the spin the poll details actually shows that the most popular potential government after the next election is a government excluding Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

Italy has just announced it will hit the big banks with a new tax on their mega profits - we should do the same.
The banks are making a killing by hoarding the interest rate rises, hitting mortgage holders but not passing it on to those saving.

People want to get out of their cars & to reduce emissions. It is the government’s fault that many of them can’t.
We need investment in free, frequent and green train and bus system, along with walking and cycling infrastructure.

Join this protest and demand Justice for Terence Wheelock.
His family have had to campaign for truth and justice for 18 years.
We need a movement of people power to force an independent public inquiry.

Forget the figures showing we have the highest levels of homelessness ever, that's just your psyche talking.

Dail scandalously votes for Ireland to participate in four European Defence Agency projects.
The EDA is a key vehicle for the European militarisation drive and to promote the European weapons industry. https://t.co/176XEzTB6P

The export of live animals can either be profitable or it can be humane - and clearly the decision has been made for it to be profitable!!
#RTEInvestigates last night showed the scandalous treatment of calves that are essentially a 'byproduct' of the dairy industry in Ireland... https://t.co/krnf1K4OF7
