We are taking the government to the high court because we believe their deal with the Lowry Lackey's contradicts the contents of our Constitution.

We will not be accepting this authoritarian move by government and are discussing with other opposition parties and groups currently. We need to do everything we can to prevent them forcing this through tomorrow. #LowrysLackeys

They're deranged - with Netanyahu, Trump has broadcast to the world his deranged plans to commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza. They must not be allowed to continue this. No Irish politician should consider attending any St. Patrick’s Day White House events with this psychopath. Boycott this genocidal

Day 9 / 12 Days of Christmas 2024 Recap / September 2024 In September we learned that this security hut at the Dail cost €1.5m - yet there aren't enough SNAs for our kids. #ireland #peoplebeforeprofit

Day 8 / 12 Days of Christmas 2024 Recap / August 2024 In August we highlighted howTicketmaster was price gouging fans. They were charging €415 for Oasis standing tickets, here's what we wrote last year when Taylor Swift tickets went on sale: "For years, Ticketmaster has been shafting customers.

Day 5 / 12 Days of Christmas 2024 Recap / May 2024 In May Students in Trinity set up an encampment to protest Trinity's investments in Israel. Conor Reddy of PWO Ireland and now PBP councillor for Ballymun-Finglas Rep spoked from inside Trinity College 🇵🇸 We say solidarity with students and staff

"There's no room at the inn" - say the corporate landlords and their apologists. But the story of Christmas is about solidarity. The housing catastrophe is the fault of successive Governments and their determination to allow vulture funds and corporate landlords to profit off housing need.

Day 4 / 12 Days of Christmas 2024 Recap / April 2024 In April, Simon Harris became Taoiseach and immediately started attacking on workers. He announced plans to "delay" an increase in the number of paid sick days Irish workers are entitled to. Sick day entitlements here are among some of the wors

Day 3 / 12 days of Christmas 2024 Recap -March 2024 In March, Leo Varadkar stepped down as Taoiseach weeks before the High Court ordered he be investigated for Corruption on foot of a case brought by Paul Murphy TD. Leo Varadkar legacy is one of misery and despair. Record homelessness, record chi

Spare a thought for the retail workers, between the Christmas shoping, and New Year's sales, they are working flat out throughout the holidays - usually on precarious contracts, and for low wages. Workers's deserve a break. It's time to raise the minimum wage to a living wage for all.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas 🎄 Nollaig Shona Wishing you all a Merry, Red Christmas and a fighting New Year - Especially those working on the frontline.

People power defeating a miscarriage of justice being driven by big business lobbying and court corruption? Miracle on 34th street - a Christmas classic. #SantaNotGuilty

If you get to watch the Christmas classic 'It's a Wonderful Life' over the holidays, and find yourself enjoying it - you may just be a socialist! The FBI claimed this heartwarming film about a community pulling together at Christmas was 'communist' propaganda. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Our fight is more than an election—for real change we need grassroots collective action uniting communities Join and help build radical movements from housing, to healthcare because now more than ever we need fighters—together we can create an alternative to the status-quo pbp.ie/join #Spéirghorm

Why are Irish troops playing the EU's 'war games'? When people rejected the Lisbon Treaty, we were given a supposed 'guarantee' that there would be no push for an EU army. Now they are doing it through the back door, through so-called 'EU Battlegroups'.

Social media team is tired, did we do this right?

I voted left & transferred left @pbp.ie, the #1 party to make Palestine an election issue, to fight against the lifting of the eviction ban and to argue for universal healthcare and a public transport system accessible to all. #VotePBP #AnotherIrelandIsPossible

Never forget: In May of this year, in the middle of a genocide, this Israeli flag was put up in our parliament. #VoteLeftTransferLeft today for a left government that will impose sanctions on Israel for the first time in Irish history.

Handy chart to share with those who want to #VoteLeftTransferLeft to end 100 years of FF / FG rule. Remember: With our system of Proportional Representation STV you should give your #1 vote to your favourite option, and then #2, #3, #4 etc to others you want in. If your #1 doesn't get elected you

This is what the far-right are like. This was painted on a wall near my house earlier this year. We need to unite against those who are actually responsible for housing, health and climate crises. #VoteLeftTransferLeft today to keep out the far right and maximise our chances for a left government

Today's the day! We have a historic opportunity to get rid of Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael and replace it with a left-wing government that will fight for people. It's time to get out and vote for change! Vote People Before Profit #1 and transfer left. #anotherirelandispossible #votepbp

Handy chart to share with those who want to #VoteLeftTransferLeft Remember: With our system of PR-STV you should give your #1 vote to your favourite option. If your #1 doesn't get elected your entire vote will go to your #2 to help get them elected, but your #1 will have benefited too.

"We have an historic opportunity to end 100 years of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil and elect the first ever Left Government." Vote People Before Profit #1, then transfer left.

A vote for Aontú is a vote for Fianna Fáil. A vote for Aontú is a vote to strip abortion rights & bodily autonomy. Vote for PBP, the only ones ruling out coalition with FF&FG, then transfer left. Don't be duped by Aontú & other right-wingers who want to roll back hard-won rights. #ge24 #SpéirGhorm

Claim: "The only way to get a change of government is to vote for Sinn Féín." Fact: Only PBP guarantee to support a left government and never to vote for Micheal Martin or Simon Harris for Taoiseach. Unfortunately SF (and others) insist on 'keeping the option open' of sharing power with FF or FG.

“On Friday, there is an historic opportunity to break the cycle and end 100 years of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Fine Gael’s vote is falling and the combined support for Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael looks set to break below the historic level of 40%” @richardboudbarrett.pbp.ie www.pbp.ie/people-befor...

Young people can be the tipping point in this election. We can End 100 years of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. To do that, you should vote People Before Profit number 1, and then transfer left. #AnotherIrelandIsPossible #GE24

Simon Harris' dismissal of a care worker gave a real insight into how Irish society works. www.pbp.ie/we-dont-have...

On the doors, people know what a joke these once-off payments are. Ireland once had the cheapest electricity prices in Europe when the ESB was run on a not-for-profit mandate. #ge24 #CostOfLivingCrisis

"if you're big business in this country, the economy works for you. If you're a parent of a child with additional needs, the economy does not work for you. The reason for that is because all of this is based on profit." We need a left government that will take on the profiteering. #TonightVMTV #ge24

The tide is turning against the government and a Left government is now a distinct possibility. Read our pamphlet outlining what a left government needs to do and the challenges it will face delivering real change after 100 years of FF&FG #GE24 #SpéirGhorm www.pbp.ie/the-case-for...

Another instance of the far-right attacking the left during this election, this time physically assaulting one of our canvassers and pulling out a weapon. Not once have they gone after government parties—they are stooges for the status quo. #GE24 #SpéirGhorm www.greystonesguide.ie/mcconnell-ad...

Love this guy! He was my first preference in the first election I ever voted in back in 2007. One of the only parties with principles in the Dáil.

"All of the other parties, even on the left, are leaving open the option of propping up Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. We think that shows a terrible lack of ambition, frankly" — @richardboydbarrett.pbp.ie #GE24 🎧 Listen back www.irishexaminer.com/news/politic...

Mary Lou McDonald needs to commit to no deal with FG/FF so people see a left govt is a real possibility. @pbp.ie are the most consistent and committed supporters of a left govt. Vote for real radicals who'll fight inside the Dáil and out. #VotePBP #AnotherIrelandIsPossible #RTEPT

Even the dogs (and cats!) on the street know @pbp.ie are the ones to vote for if we want to end the reign of FF/FG. Put fighting socialists into the Dáil✊ #KeepPaulinTheDáil #ge24 #KickOutFFFG #DublinCats

We often get asked this... @pbp.ie have no interest in being in a government for the mercs & perks. We want to be in a left government that takes transformative action on the housing, health, and climate crises - taking on the corporate interests FF/FG governments represents! #ge24 #Ireland

We’re running out of time to tackle the climate crisis. Empty promises won’t cut it—we need bold action to transition to a green, sustainable economy and hold corporations accountable for environmental destruction. On 29 November, vote #1 Paul Murphy for climate justice. #GE24 #KickOutFFFG #VotePB

In the wake of International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the rise of reactionary views, deepening misogyny and clear intentions to roll back on abortion rights we must stand against those purporting these views and against a system that produces misogyny. (1/2)

“Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. One hundred years of these parties is enough. We have given a cast iron commitment that we will not prop them up. Other left parties should do so too and provide the public with a clear alternative” @richardboydbarrett.pbp.ie #GE24 www.hotpress.com/opinion/gene...

“We were told mitigation would cost the region £43 million, so Stormont could have done a lot better to stand with older members of our society who are at risk.” — @cllrshaunharkin.bsky.social www.derryjournal.com/news/politic...

We need a left government that'll take transformative action. We need to take on the interests of those who profit from the crises we face. We need a left government that governs in the interest of ordinary people, not in the interests of the few profiting from people's misery!

Parties are using the plight of refugees and asylum seekers to draw attention away from the failure of this government to undo their failed housing market policies Punch up at those benefitting from our suffering not those escaping from war, harm and violence. #RTEUpfront #GE24
