Public meeting in Tallaght about An Post's plans to move our sorting office to Lucan. This will be a disaster for workers and our community. It will mean having to travel to Lucan to collect missed parcels. Pressure to get An Post to drop this plan is growing.

These are segments from James Connolly’s open letter to Dublin Castle in 1898. Today, a different flag flies over Dublin Castle, but the social evil Connolly fought against remains. Neoliberalism keeps millions of working people on the brink, or in the depths, of poverty. The EU speaks endlessly ab

The door is always open if you’re rich enough with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael while workers have to fight tooth and nail for the bare minimum.

Every time there’s a crisis, the working class is told to tighten its belt. Use less. Consume less. Accept less. Now, as our water system comes under increasing strain, working class people are once again being told to conserve. Meanwhile, the Government continues to greenlight the endless expansio

Ireland is one of the wealthiest countries in Europe. But it's also one of the most expensive. The problem isn't a lack of money. The problem is a government that puts landlords, energy companies and big business before ordinary people. Another Ireland is possible. Get involved at pbp.ie

An Post are planning to shut the Tallaght delivery office and shift operations to a hub near Lucan. For anyone misses a delivery, that could means hours of travel just to pick up a parcel. Many people don't drive and the public transport links to Grangecastle are not good enough. When I asked An P

The United States is the only country ever to have used nuclear weapons against another country. Today, its closest ally, apartheid Israel, has dropped more than 70,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza, the equivalent explosive yield of roughly six Hiroshima bombs in TNT. The hypocrisy of those claiming

The government shamefully votes against including services in a ban on trade with the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. They have gutted the Occupied Territories Bill to please Trump and US corporations. We need complete sanctions on Israel.

Unelected officials hiking rents can not be allowed to ignore the democratic decisions of elected councillors. Over 20,000 households in South Dublin are now facing rent hikes, including pensioners, lone parents and low-paid workers. Councillors voted to stop these increases in February and again i

Peter Thiel’s not-so-secret event, due to be held at Powerscourt Hotel, has been cancelled by the venue. This only happened because ordinary people from across Irish society spoke out and made it clear that genocidal billionaires are not welcome here. If Thiel hasn’t got the message yet, he should

A political and legal battle is raging over South Dublin County Council's rent hikes. It’s a fight that’s as much about the rules of local democracy as it is about the cost of a council house, writes Cian Prendiville. Read at the link in comments

Why won't they give a free vote? Is it because they know if given the chance, enough TDs would vote to ban the cruel 'sport' of hare coursing? Our bill will be debated in the Dáil this evening, with the vote taking place next Wednesday 8th July. Keep the pressure on for the next week to #BanHareC

Invest in HOMES, not drones!

This is a long-awaited opportunity to finally end one of the cruelest blood sports, which is already banned across almost all of Europe. On Thursday, Paul Murphy's Animal Health and Welfare (Ban on Hare Coursing) Bill will be debated in the Dáil. It'll be voted on by TDs on the following Wednesday,

The government is abandoning its climate commitments and pawning the future of young people by doubling down on fossil fuels. Shannon LNG will be a disaster for Ireland’s transition away from fossil fuels. It will also become a massive drain on public finances, costing the State millions every year

Earlier a motion was passed at a special meeting of the council by 15 Councillors to request that the council does not proceed with the proposed rent increases on July1st.

If a private landlord tried to increase someone’s rent by 25% they wouldn’t be allowed, but one of the largest landlords in the country is getting away with doing exactly that right now. What’s even worse the council authorities responsible for developing the budget that contains these increases has

This recent vote is only one step forward. Women are still being forced to travel abroad for essential healthcare, and access to abortion remains restricted when a woman’s life or health is at risk. The three-day waiting period has always been a paternalistic and unnecessary barrier to women’s righ

Finally legislation to get rid of the three day waiting period has passed, despite a majority of Fianna Fail and a lot of Fine Gael TDs voting against. This “wait” was patronising and dangerous and resulted in some women being forced to travel to Britain to access abortion.
