"Unions to focus on cost-of-living supports on May Day"
Sorry, folks, but the money's gone: three-quarters of a billion euro of public monies, palmed off by the government to agri business interests, so workers and wider society in Ireland are fucked for the foreseeable.
Happy May Day. ✊🏼

Price caps were a core demand of the fuel protests.
Why does the government refuse to implement them?
Next month it'll be 2 years since we introduced our ‘Emergency Price Controls Bill’, which would impose a cap of €1.75 a litre on petrol/diesel and a €1 a litre cap on home heating oil.
Our bill also includes price caps on gas and electricity - which will continue to go up even higher if this government continues to sit on its hands as ordinary people suffer.

The recent abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn must be called what it is, Traveller #racism
The narrative goes beyond political disagreement. Personal attacks on her intelligence, her voice and her appearance are not legitimate critique. They draw on long-standing stereotypes that have been used to exclude Travellers from public life for generations

“I will not stand by when our flag is being used to promote hatred, division and anti-migrant remarks. For me, the flag means peace, unity and justice and equality”
Senator Eileen Flynn says she has faced worst online abuse and hate yet in past week (...) in the wake of comments about the #FuelProtests
Flynn made history when she became the 1st woman from the #Traveller community to sit in the upper house

The "grassroots campaign" is up and running 👀
Note: There is no McDonalds (or McDomalds) pub in Bray. There is a fast-food place of that name.

Ireland's #FuelProtests have been run by bullying men with big machines and far-right politics.

CW: FuelProtests
@Anitambyrne I swear to god, I am so f'cking angry at some of the so-called opposition, and at three-quarters of a billion of public monies being pissed away into private businesses.
There are going to be a lot of candidates in Dublin Central with questions to answer at our door.

Mind the Gap
Ireland is the second richest country in Europe, and this week a single protest shut it down. Here's why. - Sinéad O’Sullivan
"I want to dig a little deeper into what this graph actually shows: that Ireland is not an entirely functioning state… Just a rich one!"

Government survives with votes of Lowry's lackeys but majority is reduced.
The power of the people is greater than the people in power.
We need a new phase of militant mass protest involving trade unions and communities to demand action on cost of living and a general election.

There are lessons here, as the government hangs onto power.
Don't trust the fake independents.
And more importantly, people power protests works!This must be the start of a new phase of militant, effective protest involving trade unions, communities mobilising for everyone on the cost of living crisis!

Militant disruptive protest works!
The legitimate protest actions taken by the fuel protesters (that forced the government to make limited concessions) are the reason this ‘no confidence’ vote is taking place.
It’s urgent now to broaden out the fuel protests and bring them to another level with mass participation from working people and trade unions.

We need to fight for a left government, that will take on the interests of those who profit off the crises ordinary people face, instead of ruling in the interests of them like FF-FG.

Don't be distracted by those that are trying to divide people, and redirect people's righteous anger at government policy against people because of their race, sexuality, etc.
We have to stay united and have to move onto another level of protest.
This starts with the confidence motion today, but must NOT end there.
Working class people, farmers, everyone has to come together to bring an end to the 100 year reign of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael!

Charming lads 😆 feels so safe and welcoming
I've heard MIGAs GREAT plan is, as soon as we leave our working posts at hospitals, nursing homes, meat processing, etc, they'll keep punching down. But who's next?
"Migrants are more likely to be working than Irish-born residents, though they experience higher poverty rates"

Which side are you on?
Are you on the side of ordinary people who are suffering from the policies of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and the Independents who prop them up? Are you on the side of those suffering from this cost of living crisis that comes on top of the previous cost of living crisis?
Or are you on the side of the government and those who do their dirty work, who seek to divide people on the basis of their skin colour, sexuality, or class?

No confidence in this government!
In less than 24 hours, there is a chance to get rid of this government of FF & FG and bring about a #GeneralElectionNOW.
The maximum pressure must be brought to bear tonight and tomorrow on Independent TDs.It seems Independent Ireland will be voting against the government this particular time, but will the Independent TDs?🤔

@muellertadzio While we don't have an alternative movement of collapse-aware Left groups that "get involved" with an alternative explanation of what's happening and of the way to go for a "good collapse", this will be the script of the movie everywhere. In Spain we are warning about this going to happen since more than a decade. See "Guía para o descenso enerxético" (2013) or "La izquierda ante el colapso de la civilización industrial" (2015/16). http://esquerda.colapso.info/doku.php?id=es:start #Collapse #FuelProtests
