The scenes on RTÉ investigates were horrific. We need adult safeguarding legislation, mandatory reporting, and we need to bring the care sector into public ownership. Getting proper care shouldn't be reliant on the whims of those who profiteer from those who need care.

Paul's still making his way back to Ireland... but we need as many people as possible outside the Dáil at 6pm tonight to #RaiseTheRoof Don't let this landlord government gut rent pressure zones, and push even more people into homelessness. Use the 150k vacant properties! They should be homes!

Paul has been detained again, with other participants in the Global March to Gaza. On advice of the Irish Embassy, he went to a Cairo police station to retrieve his phone. His passport was taken again & he was prevented from leaving the station.

All marchers must be released. 2 international coordinators were illegally detained at the weekend, and processed for deportation this morning. We stand with Gaza, call for the opening of a humanitarian corridor, and demand an end to the genocide against the Palestinian people. #GlobalMarchToGaza

We were finally released late last night at airport. Police still have our phones. We are back in Cairo and meeting shortly to decide next steps. We're focused on Israel's genocide and starvation of Gaza. Thanks for your support. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 🇵🇸🇵🇸 #GlobalMarchToGaza

These are the final seconds we have from Paul. His phone has been taken, and his passport. We urgently need Minister for Foreign Affairs Simon Harris TD to intervene, demand he is freed, his passport & phone returned and the protesters are allowed to peacefully #MarchToGaza Please email tanaiste

An Irish citizen and member of People Before Profit has been detained by the Egyptian authorities, and is being held in a windowless bus. Her crime? Wanting to join the March to Gaza to expose Israel's starvation of the people of Gaza.

"We are on an armed bus. No windows. They will take us to the airport" A message from an Irish participant in #GreatMarchToGaza. People all over are having their passports taken by the army. It looks like crackdown by authorities to stop us marching to demand an end to siege.

Our progress towards Rafah as part of the #GreatMarchToGaza continues. Half a million people are facing imminent starvation because of Israel's blockade. Israel criminally launched attacks on Iran this morning. It is a terrorist state armed and funded by western imperialism.

Arrived safely at Cairo airport and on way to town to join the #GlobalMarchToGaza. Nobody being detained and deported this evening. Pressure on Egyptian government is clearly working. Keep it up demanding that we can march and call for the starvation of Gaza to be ended.

Fianna Fáil appointed a newly elected TD to the Oireachtas artificial intelligence committee – even though he holds stock worth thousands in an AI company co-founded by a man who “conducted classified intelligence work” for the Israel Defense Forces. www.ontheditch.com/fianna-fail-...

My jaw dropped when the Minister said he will be meeting with Housing Minister to "thrash out how the new plans will work" for students. It's black and white. Students in private rented accommodation are going to lose the protection of any rent controls.

The people are taking action because their governments refuse to act. Thousands of participants from around the world are traveling to Egypt to participate in the Global March to Gaza. I am proud to be participating as part of the Irish delegation. #MarchToGaza #GlobalMarchToGaza #BreakTheSiege

Those at the top are profiteering off people's housing misery. We need to end it. Instead of throwing money at private investors and 'hoping' they'll fix the housing crisis they profit from, we need a State Construction Company that will actually build the housing we need.

All the government's spin is to divert attention from the reality that government plans to gut Rent Pressure Zones will drive rents even higher and force THOUSANDS more into homelessness. This is a disaster, and will make the housing crisis even worse. #HowIrelandWorks #HousingCrisis

In contrast to their governments' complicity, thousands of ordinary people are marching to Gaza. The aid must flow. The siege must be lifted. The complicity in genocide must end. #GlobalMarchToGaza #MarchToGaza

Landlords will soon be allowed to hike rents to so-called "market rates" between tenancies, risking massive rent increases. In the worst housing crisis this state has ever seen, the government is lifting rent controls—paving the way for even more profits for landlords & developers. #SpéirGhorm

STOP FUNDING GENOCIDE! Today we came together to demand an end to the Irish Central Bank’s role in facilitating the sale of genocide bonds. Activists around the world are showing up governments and refusing to be complicit. It’s time this was matched in the Dáil.

Parents shouldn't have to fight for appropriate school places for their children. This government manufactures crisis after crisis. They imposed an artificial cap on SNAs and special education teachers, privatised our nursing homes—and then feign shock when abuse is exposed.

Fine Gael claims to be “protecting renters” while scrapping rent controls and pushing rents even higher in so-called “rent pressure zones.” They're only protecting landlords and investors' profits. We need to break with the failed logic that housing must be a vehicle for profit.

The activists aboard the Madleen have been kidnapped by Israeli forces in international waters as they attempted to deliver aid to Gaza. The Irish government’s failure to implement sanctions, ban genocide bonds and end complicity through trade and arms links is a damning indictment. #BDS

Our office will be walking out at 1.05 today. This is a small first step toward what must be a larger more coordinated action from the unions to take up the fight against Israel like we did with South African apartheid in the 80’s.
