Saint John of God’s must recognise the vital work dementia carers do at St Joseph's. These workers provide essential care to some of the most vulnerable people in our society. It's time for action to give them the pay, conditions, and recognition they deserve.

Delighted to be speaking at the Jewish Anti-Zionist Congress. This conference nails the lie that opposing Zionism and standing against genocide is antisemitic. I look forward to joining some of the leading Jewish anti-Zionist voices calling for an end to Israeli apartheid.

Its hard to undersell just how large the demonstration in Belfast was today. It was one of the largest demonstrations i've ever seen in the city.

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

Pathetically inadequate tokenism from the government that only 2 weeks ago voted down our bill to impose comprehensive sanctions on Israel. Also does this mean Netanyahu and others who orchestrated the Gaza genocide are free to travel to Ireland?

Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan is introducing travel bans on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed

Big crowd waiting at airport for return of the brave Irish participants in the Gaza Flotilla. If only our government had the guts & principles of these activists we would have sanctions on the terrorist state of Israel that would be real solidarity with Palestine 🇵🇸

If you are so "appalled and shocked" by the treatment of the flotilla activists why did the government walk into the Dáil after issuing this statement and vote against sanctioning Israel when the same flotilla activists had explicitly called on you to support the sanctions bill?

Shameful! FF, FG & Ind government publicly condemn Israeli regime for kidnap and abuse of Gaza flotilla on tv & radio,then vote(77-62) against the bill to sanction Israel that flotilla activists asked them to support. Media has a public service obligation to expose this duplicity

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

Utter hypocrisy, from the Taoiseach and the government. Say they are "appalled"but are now voting against our bill to impose sanctions on the Israeli regime that kidnapped and is abusing our citizens and those on Gaza flotilla. @rte should not allow this to go unchallenged

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

@pipdoesx Voting record of shame will be on the Oireachtas website tomorrow under the debates section. We will also post it tomorrow.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that he is appalled and shocked at the manner in which activists on board an aid flotilla to Gaza have been treated by the Israeli authorities https://t.co/oc7xsdXi7c

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

Israel has attacked and abducted humanitarian volunteers, including Irish civilians, in international waters en route to bring aid to Gaza

Unless major pressure is applied, our government will continue to be complicit and support Israel’s absolute impunity. We need sanctions.

[IPSC @ipsc48]

163 great civil society organisations have endorsed our National March for Palestine on Satuday 16th May. Commemorate the 78th anniversary of the beginning of the Palestinian Nakba and to demand our government ends our complicity in apartheid Israel’s genocidal crimes. #Nakba78

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

Shocking slight of hand being performed by government this minute in Dáil under guise of an "innocent" Industrial development bill government smuggle in effort to facilitate & hide war profiteering, genocide complicity and an attack on Irish neutrality. Will speak now to explain

[Richard Boyd Barrett @RBoydBarrett]

Absolutely shameful, Irish government approves a huge surge of exports to the Israeli military in the midst of its genocidal slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza.

[Niall Sargent 🕵️ @Niall_Sargent]

REVEALED: It took 18 months, and multiple FOI battles, but we can now reveal Ireland approved €20 million in military-capable dual-use exports to the IDF and Israeli Ministry of Defense during the height of its military assault on Gaza in 2024.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has been accused of pushing the Occupied Territories Bill into "legislative purgatory" after it "diluted" its strategy ambitions for 2029 https://t.co/cWTceXfOru

The condition of the Connolly memorial (needles, human waste, graffiti) is bad and worsening lately. Still bring the 1916 tour there but swerve with school groups. Who is responsible for its maintenance?

The social housing income threshold needs to be raised. People who have waited years on waiting lists are being thrown off because they may get small pay rise or family income supplement.
