Our @irishcongress lead negotiator for a public sector pay deal and Fórsa general secretary, Kevin Callinan is writing in the Mail on Sunday on workers’ cost-of-living pressures, trust gap in Government, and industrial action.
At the Workers' AI Counter Summit.
This is such an important initiative by DATA and the CWU. The government is absolutely committed to the Big Tech agenda of shoving AI down our throats without any consideration of the impact on workers or our environment.
We have to resist.
Climate action should mean holding the biggest polluters and the wealthiest responsible, not squeezing working people.
It should and could mean improving people's lives, making things easier and cheaper.

🇫🇷 French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
“We will withdraw from NATO. NATO only serves one purpose: to place us under U.S. control.
Israel is the most dangerous country in the region today. It is Israel that is attacking all its neighbors. It is the one triggering the war. It is carrying out a genocide. When I say Israel, I mean Netanyahu’s government.”
"Kidnapping Maduro breaks all international laws, does it not?"
Vanessa "No it does not"
Jeremy Corbyn "Which law allows that?"

Jeremy Corbyn "Which justice? Where?"
Vanessa "The US"
Jeremy Corbyn "He was in Venezuela not US"

The Garvaghy Road community have every right to be delighted.
They stood up to the sectarian Orange Order, the Parades Commission, the courts and the PSNI and they won.
People power stopped a return to sectarian violence while the institutions utterly failed.
Tonight, the Secretary of State made the right call to stop this unwanted march from going ahead. But nobody should be in any doubt about what produced it...
🧵
Great to see scenes of joy from Drumcree as people learn permission for a triumphalist Orange Order march has been revoked!
Well done to this incredible community. It was an honour to stand with you.
People power held the line against the Orange Order and sectarianism.
✊✊✊
No Orange Order march will be happening on Garvaghy Road!
Wonderful news.
Well done to the incredible community who have won a victory for all.
People power held the line against the Orange Order and sectarianism.
"I am directly elected by the people to represent the people to legislate for the people"
"There doesn't need to be a picket"
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said he believes the Dáil should sit next week ahead of a planned public sector strike. It comes as some opposition parties are said to be considering boycotting the sitting if they had to cross the picket.

Our government is abandoning any pretense of tackling the climate crisis, while they sell out our electricity, water, and people's data to data centres & AI.
It doesn't have to be like this. Check out our fully costed alternative budget here:

French Presidential Candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon:
They keep talking about "native French people."
Native to what? Christian roots? What exactly are these roots?
Half of people no longer live in the department they come from.
A process of creolization has already taken place among us French people, simply because we change places and adopt one another's jokes, tastes, cuisine and music.
All those dreaming of a static world are dreaming of something that no longer exists and will never exist again.
Greyhound racing is a great story of lobbying in Ireland, the more unpopular it gets, the more it gets from the state 🤷🏻♂️
In 2015 its attendance was 635k and got €13.6m in government grants.
In 2025 its attendance was 352k and got €19.8m.
Crowds down 44%, grants up 46% 🤔🤔
This week I wrote about the worst thing that ever happened to me.
This is the best thing.
Thank you to everyone who read, shared, messaged and stood with me these past few days. I've read every one. I'm not going anywhere, and neither is the fight for answers.
She was born here in the Netherlands, where children are listened to. There's a reason Dutch kids are ranked the happiest in the world year after year. Ireland could be that country too.
Today is for her.
