We need a moratorium on data centres. It was great to have Rosi from Friends of the Earth at our PBP-S think-in yesterday for our session on data centres and their impact on the environment and our energy costs. As mentioned, the government hasn't even transposed the Energy Efficiency Directive.

Dlúthpháirtíocht leis an 'Ulm 5'✊ "An fhadhb in Éirinn dar liomsa ná go mbíonn daoine ag glacadh leis gur muidne na daoine maithe atá ag glacadh ár ról, agus níl ar leibhéal an rialtas. Tá siad thar a bheith comhpháirteach sa chinedhíothú fós." Is scannal amach is amach é an triail sa Ghearmáin.

People Before Profit sends its solidarity to three members in Derry – our councillor Shaun Harkin, Goretti Horgan, and Nina Pulis. They are among the many people who have faced charges for protesting genocide - but the people who should be prosecuted are those arming and funding a genocide!

If Spain, a NATO member state, can refuse to facilitate war, a neutral state has absolutely no excuse! Ireland should not be used as an aircraft carrier for empire. Shannon is not a staging post for destruction. US military out of Shannon. US military out of Aldergrove!

No more delays. No more excuses. A full ban on trade with the illegal settlements is the very least we should be doing. Ireland has a proud history of resisting empire and standing up to colonialism - we must not continue the complicity that this government is happy to ignore. #EnactAnois

"There's no room at the inn" - say the corporate landlords and their apologists. But the story of Christmas is about solidarity. The housing catastrophe is the fault of successive Governments and their determination to allow vulture funds and corporate landlords to profit off housing need.

Spare a thought for the retail workers, between the Christmas shoping, and New Year's sales, they are working flat out throughout the holidays - usually on precarious contracts, and for low wages. Workers's deserve a break. It's time to raise the minimum wage to a living wage for all.

Why are Irish troops playing the EU's 'war games'? When people rejected the Lisbon Treaty, we were given a supposed 'guarantee' that there would be no push for an EU army. Now they are doing it through the back door, through so-called 'EU Battlegroups'.

A cover of the People Before Profit Pamphlet "The Case for a Left Government - Getting Rid of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael" with select quotes saying "unashamedly revolutionary" by Pat Leahy of the Irish Times, "an incendiary document" by Hugh O'Connell of the Irish Independent and "a conspiracy" by Leo Varadkar of Fine Gael.

We want to see an end to 100 years of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, and we want an historic Left government in their place. A #1 vote for People Before Profit on November 29th is the strongest message you can send that you want an end to Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. #GE24 www.pbp.ie/no-votes-for...
Graphic asking the question "Which parties have guaranteed they won't vote for Simon Harris or Mícheál Martin for Taoiseach?” Labour, Sinn Féin, Social Democrats, Aontú, Independent Ireland and the Green Party all have an X. Only People Before Profit has a green tick.

So we’re doing a quick refresher of some of the major scandals behind ‘Tik Tok Taoiseach’ Simon Harris, because Ireland deserves better than his expensive PR campaign Simon Harris threatened to sanction nurses who went on strike fighting for better pay www.independent.ie/irish-news/s... #GE24 🧵
Screenshot of a headline from the Irish Independent saying "Simon Harris says financial penalties against striking nurses will be considered". There is also an explanation that Simon Harris "Threatened to sanction nurses" when 40,000 nurses went on strike after they didn't get a pay deal that led to thousands of nurses leaving and skyrocketing waiting lists. "He wouldn't negotiate on pay."
