Launch of PBP Irish language document with @EoghanOCPBP, @NaoiseDolan, @bridsmithTD and @SomhairleMag.

So @rte devised the criterion for coverage of Dublin Central by-election candidates in a way that includes filthy racist misogynist Steenson in radio & TV debates but excludes People before Profit candidate Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin. I signed this petition: pbp.ie/petition-launc…

As expected it looks like coming down to FG vs the racist ex-FF. Surprisingly good poll for Labour, disaster for Sinn Féin. For a left candidate to win though will absolutely have to maximise #VoteLeftTransferLeft

No funding to expand rail services to the whole swathes of the country without trains but of course the golf tournament gets it

.@NewstalkFM There is no way the FAI should allow itself to be used to sportswash Israel's apartheid and genocide against the Palestinian people. It should refuse to play the Nations League games, Ireland has a proud history of standing against apartheid, the FAI should do same.

Of course Independent Ireland are just as corrupt as their former party Fianna Fáil

It makes no sense whatsoever to exclude @EoghanOCPBP from the Dublin Central by-election debates. By any metric, he should be getting space out of the 3 debates. It's not for RTÉ to determine the results of the by-election, it is up to the people of Dublin Central.

The Stop The Game Campaign has launched a letter calling on FAI not to play apartheid Israel in the Nations League fixtures. The letter is signed by Irish and international soccer figures, as well as others from the sports and arts worlds. 🧵1

“My story isn’t the typical footballer’s story”. David Raya made his debut in a 3-0 defeat at Macclesfield for Southport, in front of 1,405 people. Now he’s heading the Champions League final.

Aitor Zabaleta was a supporter of the Basque left-wing club Real Sociedad. He was murdered by Atletico Madrid ultras in 1998. Fascist supporters & ultras of Atletico chant celebrating his death, even 28 years later. Against fascism in football, against fascism everywhere. UTG.

It is outrageous that @rtenews is excluding @EoghanOCPBP from ALL their election debates. He is the only viable candidate being excluded. Regardless of whether you support him you should sign petition to ensure the electorate gets to hear all views. eoc.ie/rtepetition

The latest FF/FF idea: Nuclear power for data centres. They won't even give households plug in solar, but the data centres will get nuclear power stations. They represent Big Tech, not the rest of us.

Voting @independent_ire is not an anti-FFG position. If they were to win #GalwayWest, some of the happiest people will be within government

ADMIRAL DUNCAN Today marks the anniversary of the 1999 bombing of the Admiral Duncan - a devastating act of homophobic violence. Three lives were lost and over 70 people were injured. We remember Andrea Dykes, Nik Moore and John Light, and stand with all those affected that day.

Absolute joke that the Burnley game has been moved to the Monday at this late notice. So many fans of both clubs out of pocket having booked flights, hotels, travel, etc. So many now won't be able to go because of work issues, childcare, etc. Final home game of the season, place should be bouncing afterwards, especially if there is something on the Palace game for Arsenal. Supporters roaring the team on at the lap of appreciation, etc, before they head to Selhurst Park. Yet that will probably be at about 10.30/10.45pm now, probably to a half empty stadium because do many have to get off for trains, etc. It's just a disgraceful situation. Again, zero thought for fans at all. Broadcasters just don't care.

"Hit in head by bullet" is an incredible way to describe a serious war crimes.

We can break the 100+ yr cycle of FF/FG! The strongest message you can send if you have a vote in the by-elections is to vote PBP #1+transfer left PBP are the only party to rule out FF/FG coalition. Send a message to SF, SD+others that you want them to do same ahead of next GE

They signed Nico Gonzalez for £65m in 2025 January window just because Rodri got injured, he wasn’t good enough, and they binned him. They signed Reijnders last summer for £70m, used him for a few games, he wasn’t good enough, they binned him instantly. Now they’re about to sign Elliot Anderson for £100m. That’s close to £250m spent on a single position in the space of a year, no other club has that kind of financial luxury. This is what Arsenal are up against, financial cheats with endless pool of blood money. All their trophies are asterisked in my eyes.

But we are supposed to believe this is nothing to do with Iran. Time to kick the US military out of Shannon. irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/0…
