Big crowd waiting at airport for return of the brave Irish participants in the Gaza Flotilla. If only our government had the guts & principles of these activists we would have sanctions on the terrorist state of Israel that would be real solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

Shameful! FF, FG & Ind government publicly condemn Israeli regime for kidnap and abuse of Gaza flotilla on tv & radio,then vote(77-62) against the bill to sanction Israel that flotilla activists asked them to support. Media has a public service obligation to expose this duplicity

Utter hypocrisy, from the Taoiseach and the government. Say they are "appalled"but are now voting against our bill to impose sanctions on the Israeli regime that kidnapped and is abusing our citizens and those on Gaza flotilla. @rte should not allow this to go unchallenged
RTÉ News@rtenews

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that he is appalled and shocked at the manner in which activists on board an aid flotilla to Gaza have been treated by the Israeli authorities rte.ie/news/middle-ea…

Israel has attacked and abducted humanitarian volunteers, including Irish civilians, in international waters en route to bring aid to Gaza Unless major pressure is applied, our government will continue to be complicit and support Israel’s absolute impunity. We need sanctions.

163 great civil society organisations have endorsed our National March for Palestine on Satuday 16th May. Commemorate the 78th anniversary of the beginning of the Palestinian Nakba and to demand our government ends our complicity in apartheid Israel’s genocidal crimes. #Nakba78

Shocking slight of hand being performed by government this minute in Dáil under guise of an "innocent" Industrial development bill government smuggle in effort to facilitate & hide war profiteering, genocide complicity and an attack on Irish neutrality. Will speak now to explain

Absolutely shameful, Irish government approves a huge surge of exports to the Israeli military in the midst of its genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.
Niall Sargent 🕵️@Niall_Sargent

REVEALED: It took 18 months, and multiple FOI battles, but we can now reveal Ireland approved €20 million in military-capable dual-use exports to the IDF and Israeli Ministry of Defense during the height of its military assault on Gaza in 2024. thecurrency.news/articles/22697…

The condition of the Connolly memorial (needles, human waste, graffiti) is bad and worsening lately. Still bring the 1916 tour there but swerve with school groups. Who is responsible for its maintenance? (image: Conor McCabe/Instagram)

The social housing income threshold needs to be raised. People who have waited years on waiting lists are being thrown off because they may get small pay rise or family income supplement.

The government survived the No confidence vote because some supposed "independents" disgracefully propped them up. But protests have impacted. A mass movement of workers, unions & communities can force the action needed to seriously address the cost of living and housing misery.

People Before Profit will be supporting the No confidence motion in the government. They have failed abysmally to protect workers and ordinary people from the cost of living crisis, now escalating because of Trump and Israel's murderous and illegal warmongering. @MichealLehane
Mícheál Lehane@MichealLehane

Sinn Féin will move a no confidence motion in the Government next week saying they are still not listening or accepting the scale of the crisis.

More evidence of the murderous, psychopathic nature of the Israeli regime. Palestinians have a legal & moral right to resist occupation,apartheid & genocide. Genocidal Israel wants to dehumanise & murder Palestinians for resisting and still western governments give them impunity
Current Report@Currentreport1

BREAKING: Israel's parliament has officially passed a law imposing the death penalty by hanging for Palestinian detainees. At least 10,000 Palestinian prisoners could be at risk of execution.

Everyone should have a home! That's the message that Martin Leahy has been spreading for the last 200 weeks outside the Dáil. Fair play to Martin for travelling to Dublin from Cork every week to raise awareness for the housing crisis.
