Myself and Mick Barry called around to some of the pickets in Cork City this morning to show solidarity with the caretakers and secretaries in their strike. These workers are vital for our schools but they've been denied basic employment rights for years by FFG led governments

Day 6 of the strike and the school secretaries and caretakers are back protesting outside Micheál Martin's office in Cork - make sure your local secretaries and caretakers get support at their pickets

It's good to have progress but we were previously told it would be reopen later this year, now another term has been lost. These delays are unacceptable when we have more 5,000 kids in Cork waiting for childcare places. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

The chief executive has zero respect for these vital workers. After underpaying them by 42% a week for 6 years, she claims they've only been underpaid by a marginal amount! Several of them were at the meeting but she wouldn't even look in their direction echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

Come to the Raise the Roof pre-budget housing protest on the 4th October, assembling 2.30pm at the National Monument on Grand Parade. Homes for need, not corporate greed ✊ echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

The far-right are coming back to Cork on Saturday, 11th of October to spread their lies and hate, we are organising a counter protest to oppose the scapegoating of migrants, people of colour, and LGBTQ+ people, and point out the REAL enemy – the government and capitalism!

If you're angry about the housing crisis, if you're angry at this government, then get out on the streets and make your voice heard! Come to the Raise the Roof housing protest this Saturday, 2.30pm assembling at the National Monument on Grand Parade. See you there ✊

Even a weather warning hasn't stopped people turning out to march from City Hall to Micheál Martin's office to demand the government act to ensure the safe release of all Irish activists abducted and held hostage by the IOF

We got a great response giving out flyers on Patrick's St this afternoon to build for Saturday's counter protest against the far-right. Cork says not to racism! ✊

The far right are having a racist march this Saturday in Cork and one of their main speakers is Justin Barrett. He openly describes himself as a nazi and calls Hitler the greatest leader of all time. Come to the counter protest, 12pm on Grand Parade. Cork says no to racism ✊

Make sure you come out to the counter protest tomorrow, assembling 12pm on Grand Parade. The answer to racism and division is solidarity so stand with us tomorrow to send out the message loud and clear. Cork says no to racism, Cork says no to fascism and Nazis are not welcome ✊

The crowd on Grand Parade celebrating after the pathetically small fascist protest slinked off to city hall with their tails between their legs

FFG want a president who'll just sit quietly in the Áras nodding along with everything they do. We need a president who'll speak out and put pressure on them, who refuses to be their puppet. Vote Catherine Connolly this Friday to put a left progressive voice in the Áras

socialistparty.ie/2025/10/cather… Catherine Connolly has won the presidential election in a landslide. This is an important victory for an independent and left candidate and a humiliating blow to the Government, media and the broader establishment.
