🪖 Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are advancing their plans to dismantle the Triple Lock and to abandon Irish neutrality. Their goal is to serve the interests of Washington and Brussels by pushing Ireland closer and closer towards NATO. Working people must stand against their efforts.
📆 We're holding a meeting in Palmerstown on Wednesday at 7.30pm, which will hear Gerry Rooney, former General Secretary of PDFORRA, and Padraig Mannion, Chairperson of the Peace and Neutrality Alliance, outline why we must protect Irish neutrality. Bígí linn.

⚛️ 🏭 This evening, we held a meeting in Belfast on nuclear power. Our Garrett Greene and Brian Molloy from @18for0 made up the panel, which was chaired by Ard Comhairle member Padraig Mannion; discussing energy security, affordability, and the future role that different energy sources must play.

A man has died after being restrained by private security staff following an alleged incident of shoplifting in a retail store on Dublin's Henry Street.
A distressing video circulating on social media appears to show the security group applying heavy force to keep the man on the ground while a crowd watches on. At one stage, one member of security appears to push his knee into the back of the restrained man's neck, while another appears to use his hands to push the man's head to the floor. At the same time, others have placed themselves on his body.
An alleged incident of shoplifting should not result in death. The man posed no threat to life and thus such an outcome cannot be justified. It should go without saying that the protection of a person's life ought to outweigh the protection of a department store's property.
Questions must be asked of the training received by the security guards to deal with these incidents, as well as their rationale in using such a level of force that the man restrained ultimately died. We await the results of the ongoing investigations being carried out by Gardaí and Fiosrú with concern.
Our thoughts are with the man's family and friends at this time.
☘️ Cliftonville Football Club offers sincere thanks and best wishes to Jonny Addis, who has taken the decision to move on this summer.

The Workers’ Party notes the media coverage surrounding the resignation of Councillor Ted Tynan from Cork City Council and, in the interest of clarity, wishes to issue a correction.
Despite what some publications have reported, Mr. Tynan is not a member of the Workers' Party. He was elected in 2024 as a non-party candidate¹ and is not listed as a member of any registered political party on Cork City Council's website².
Jerrica Struthers, named in these reports as being set to be co-opted in Mr. Tynan's place at the June meeting of Cork City Council, is not and has never been a member of the Workers’ Party, despite being referred to as such.
Our party wishes Mr. Tynan the best for the future, and hopes he has a full recovery from his present illness.
