Tonight, the Irish Government turned its back on the roar of the crowd rising from every corner of our country.
Despite the growing call from ordinary people to Stop the Game, they voted against Sinn Féin’s motion and chose not to listen.
Ireland was shaped by our understanding of injustice. We know what it means to endure colonisation, dispossession and partition. We know what it means when the world looks away.
That is why we refuse to stand silent while innocent men, women and children are subjected to genocide, occupation and apartheid, while business carries on as usual.
We are clear, Ireland must not play Israel.
The Government may have chosen to ignore the people tonight, but the people are leading. The movement is growing. The pressure must intensify.
This is not the time to step back. This is the time to raise our voices louder than ever.
Keep the pressure on. Keep organising. Keep speaking out.
It's time to #StopTheGame
🔥 Powerful from Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire on the Occupied Territories Bill and the failure of this government to take a stand for what is right in the face of genocide.
it's nice how so many "republicans" and "nationalists" have showed their true colours these past few days by aligning with loyalists who decades ago would have murdered them
@EO_Halloran OP really thinks that one of the places with the worst rates of femicide is safe for a woman to go out at night? not to mention that most of the rioters are incredibly likely to have domestic abuse charges
