🚨Thousands of starved Gazans storm the dystopian Israeli-American aid complex in Rafah after being forced to stand in endless queues & bake in the sun in a fenced concentration camp while being subjected to biometric surveillance US mercenaries & Israeli troops are opening fire


An agency of the state, receiving money from the tax payer won’t engage with the union Fórsa trade union “because there is no law or regulation that requires it.” Therein lies the fundamental flaw in the Irish IR “voluntarist” system. Needs changing rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

It was very powerful this evening.🇵🇸 Thank you to everyone who showed up once again in support of #PeaceForPalestine. Well done to Ivana Bacik for a powerful address. Am very proud of all of my @labourparty comrades for their unyielding commitment to the freedom of Palestine.



The world has changed because of the deliberate genocide and the forced starvation of the Palestinian people by the Israeli regime. My contributions on #Gaza today in the debate in the Seanad. The Labour Party Ireland irish_hcworkers_for_palestine


Extremely grateful to the Labour Party Labour Women and all The Labour Party Ireland for their support of our Campaign for Mandatory Breast Density Reporting for Women who have Mammograms in Ireland #BreastcancerScreening labour.ie/news/2025/05/2… #WomensHealth LabourDublinBayNorth


Shocking report from Jackie Fox shows hundreds of US flights carrying munitions of war have landed at #Shannon airport. We must ensure that weapons for unlawful armed conflict are not transported through Ireland. Ireland cannot be complicit in Israel’s #GazaGenocide


€7.41 an hour. That’s all a first year construction apprentice is paid. More than one in 10 apprentices is aged over 31 years, almost 40% are 23 or older. If you want housing fixed you need to get behind Connect Trade Union calls for the minimum wage to cover apprentices Saturday with Colm Ó Mongáin
