I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.
Shame on Fianna Fáil + Fine Gael! They have just voted down Sinn Féin’s Bill to stop the Irish Central Bank facilitating the sale of Israeli war bonds.
These bonds pay for the weapons used to slaughter men, women and children in their tens of thousands.
This flies in the face of ordinary Irish people who stand for an end to the genocide, for an end to the occupation, for a free Palestine.
Saoirse don Phalaistín!🇵🇸
We remember the great James Connolly who 109 years ago today was executed by a British firing squad for his role the Easter Rising. A revolutionary, a socialist, and a patriot who was dedicated to a free Ireland. To the achievement of a republic of equality and economic justice, a republic for working people.
James Connolly’s powerful legacy is a living, breathing inspiration. It lives on in every step we take toward realising his vision - an Ireland, united, free and equal.
‘Our demands most moderate are – We only want the earth!' ~ James Connolly
Tonight was one of those nights where we were left speechless. Six 6-foot tables that were filled with food were emptied after 45 minutes. We handed out 260 meals and still had around fifty people without food. This is the second week that this has happened and we don’t understand what’s going on. There’s been a huge increase in our soup run and we need to start thinking strategically for future soup runs.
It is absolutely heartbreaking for someone to be at the end of the queue and know that there’s not a hot meal for that person. For the people that were left, we handed out fruit and goodies but that was still not a proper meal. Tonight we have no words, we feel defeated. We need to plan properly for next week to ensure that we have enough meals - this week 300 was not enough. If you would like to sponsor a hot meal, it’s €3 per person. If any restaurants would like to sponsor hot meals, please contact us.

KNEECAP STATEMENT:
Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign.
For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes.
The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts.
Let us be absolutely clear.
The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing.
Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponize false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide.
We do not give a f*ck what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide just as we are. What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent.
No media spin will change this.
Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting.
The young people at our gigs see through the lies.
They stand on the side of humanity and justice.
And that gives us great hope.
Kneecap ❤️
Sinn Féin/republicans/“the IRA” didn’t politicise the Irish language.
The British state did - centuries ago.
When they battered children for speaking it, and tried to wipe it out.
It should be a prerequisite that anyone nominated for the position of Ceann Comhairle must be a Gaeilgeoir.
It is still ludicrous to me that Verona Murphy was allowed to run for the position with absolutely no understanding of the state’s first official language.
Seeing more posts about
Garron Noone the past 3 days, than the slaughter happening to people in Gaza is actually kind blowing! Have you become that densensitied to babies being slaughtered? WoW!
McGregor in the WH. I don't ever want to hear one of you fucking cunts ask, EVER again, why women don't report our rapes to the Gardai. Do you hear me? Because even when we do, even when the Jury finds in our favour, the fucking rapists end up being celebrated. That's why.
Can't help but contrast a significant portion of the public reaction to Natasha O'Brien - "annoying" "loves the limelight" - to the unanimous sympathy towards Ashling Murphy. I guess the only perfect victim is the one who's no longer here to speak up about what happened to her.
