Thank you to everyone who showed up today! We were loud, we were vibrant but more importantly we were anti-fascist. We called this protest, not against one person or one group, but against the ideology The Countess is spreading. The speakers lined up for The Countess conference

At Ashtown train station standing in solidarity with Gaza, and also talking to people about the housing crisis. People are outraged by what’s happening to students in the US who are courageously standing for ending the genocide in Gaza.

Absolutely heartbreaking. The people of Limerick — and all surrounding counties who had their Emergency Depts close — must revolt. There have been protests, the establishment ignored. We need trade unions call strikes over this. Young people are dying because of austerity. #Aoife

Long detailed thread about events at Trudder, Newtownmountkennedy yesterday and last night. This is the last post in it. Summary: An absolute shitshow courtesy of the same Gript/Dwyer/O'Keeffe/Sherlock/Ferg crew who incited the 'Dublin Riot'.

The Government's broken promises in housing, health and elsewhere are providing ammunition for racists. ⁦Simon Harris TD⁩'s contemptuous tone when replying to this question can't hide the reality.

Trying to use Harvey's story to further fuel division and hate will not be tolerated. Immigrants aren't to blame Simon Harris TD Stephen Donnelly Fine Gael @finefail and @CHI are to blame. The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy Socialist Party

The people of
Limerick have to revolt

There is a vicious class system in Ireland that often is hidden but bared itself when politicians, judges & the state protected a local capitalist - whose actions led to the deaths of 48 young people - & chose to shun their relatives. FF & FG are at the heart of this. #Stardust

Media coverage of immigration reminds me of the run up to McDowell's racist referendum & screaming headlines about 'anchor babies'. From corporate & state media's perspective, it's better to have immigration in headlines rather than housing. Don't want people getting ideas...

I thought the Gardai were terrified and didn’t know how to deal with protests?

Well done & said Antoinette Keegan.

'The truth has been told by the State today that we were systematically abused by the Irish state today for 43 years. That's the truth, justice has to follow.'

If you’re on disability allowance the maintenance bank fees should not be charged! That’s a huge amount to have taken when you’re already struggling to survive on the little you’re getting. Mick Barry TD Anne Rabbitte TD Ruth Coppinger

Just heard Jack Chambers asked on Drivetime RTE about the state apology to #Stardust families. Has any journalist asked Fianna Fáil specifically about an apology, given the niteclub owners links & how FF shielded the rich man and shunned the working class families?

Three hundred bodies exhumed from a mass grave *in a fucking hospital* including the bodies of medics *still in scrubs and wearing handcuffs* and the loudmouths are sucking up all the energy arguing over whether students and other people are protesting the correct way
