The first image shared by far-right accounts in recent weeks, to steer people towards candidates they felt best aligned with their anti-immigration goals.
"VOTE NATIONALIST INDEPENDENT" with 80 candidates recommended.

Incredibly honoured to get an endorsement from Ming, someone who has represented his constituents and working people so ardently for so long
Irrespective of the election result, work will continue to bring workers and ordinary people together to bring about the change we need ✊
We can change the destiny of this country; so that people can access healthcare, housing, and people with disabilities can access services, etc.

Yesterday, I had someone on the doors tell me that the reason the housing crisis will never be solved is that we've too many people "getting handouts and paying no tax".
She was right in a way, just not about the people she was looking to blame

The Living Wage in Ireland is now up to €14.80, 30% higher than the paltry minimum wage we have currently
Unions who represent young and low-paid workers need to get more active in organising and start a real push to get the LW in earlier than the gov's current plan of 2026
