Any attempt to impose an internet tax will meet mass opposition.
Broadband is a necessity, not a luxury. This would be a regressive tax, hitting poorest families hardest.
Public service broadcasting should be paid for by direct progressive taxation.

The Sunday Business Post is positioning itself to the right of the government on Israel.
Its editorial explicitly says that what Israel is doing is not genocide and that using the term genocide is "excessive".
Even the Irish government is not saying that.
Shame

NOBODY should be on the streets at any time, particularly in winter!
We need appropriate homeless accommodation for people while implementing a Housing First approach for a decent roof over peoples heads.

Yesterday saw 170k public sector workers in the North take strike action.
Their real pay has been eroded by inflation and the Tory government is punishing them, pushing their wages below workers in England, Scotland and Wales.
They are absolutely right to take action!

The Taoiseach presenting a bowl of shamrocks to the President is beamed around the US and around the world. It is used by US Presidents to bolster their support amongst Irish Americans.
Without Joe Biden’s support, Israel could not be killing 250 Palestinians a day.

People want to kick out FF/FG and Greens from the Council and the government.
We need a left government and left Council to build homes and CPO vacant properties.

If people have a disability which means they cannot work, they need to be supported with a proper Disability Allowance!
If implemented, this would turn into the thin edge of the wedge as the government uses it to cut Disability Allowance.

Wealth in Ireland is concentrated in the hands of the rich at the top.
Any scarcity that we have is a result of government policy.
We need to unite to fight for investment in all our communities, against this government for the rich!✊

The Dáil opened today after being off for more than a month. Almost 10,000 Palestinians have been killed since we last sat. But the government has REFUSED time to debate the genocide case. This is simply not acceptable.
