As time runs out, the European Union needs a more unified approach. Only Ireland, Spain, and Slovenia were part of the walking-out statement. Volt Ireland believes that to create solutions to global issues, we need a combined effort and accountability for countries that break international law.

White and yellow text discusses countries walking out during Netanyahu’s UN speech, Volt’s support for the protest, and the need for effective EU and global action.

Volt Ireland stands in solidarity with commuter coalitions and transport advocates nationwide. We call on all TDs to reject these fare increases and demand a transport strategy built for the future. www.dublincommuters.ie/post/send-th... @galwaycommuters.bsky.social @dublincommuters.bsky.social

Elon Musk has officially become the world's first trillionaire, while the rest of us struggle to put food on the table One man now holds more wealth than all of Ireland We don't need trillionaires or billionaires. We need a system that works for everyone Tax extreme wealth. Fund regular people

"United by Music," says Eurovision. We beg to differ. Ireland has withdrawn from Eurovision in Vienna alongside Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, and Slovenia. Five countries refusing to share a stage with Israel as it commits war crimes in Gaza Not united by music. United by humanity & compassion

Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland now all have pro-independence parties in charge Referendums in all three are a real possibility It's not our place to tell our neighbours what to do, but the break-up of the UK would impact us directly. We need direct partnerships, not just with Westminster

Exciting news: Iceland will soon vote on restarting negotiations to join the EU! Talks were paused in 2015. Now they’re back on the table For years critics said the EU was collapsing after the UK left, but the opposite is happening In an uncertain world, Europe is stronger when we work together 🇪🇺

104 years after independence, Ireland still relies on the UK to defend our skies and waters. We spend less on defence than any other neutral country in Europe. But if we can’t defend our own airspace, what’s the point of being neutral? It's time for a serious conversation! 🇮🇪🇪🇺

War never changes. It destroys homes. It tears families apart. It scars generations. Every European country has witnessed what Ukraine is going through. 4 years after Russia’s illegal invasion, Ukrainians are still defending their country and their right to exist. We stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇪🇺

Irish - a language once suppressed - is growing again. Irish gained full EU status in 2022, and today thanks to EU funding and a cultural revival, almost 2 million people speak it. Europe didn’t erase our identity - it protected it 🇮🇪🇪🇺 Happy International Mother Language Day!

Today the UK talked about rebuilding ties with Europe. In Ireland, we know why it matters - Brexit is a daily reality in Northern Ireland, and its impact is felt across the Irish Sea. EU membership helped heal old divides between our two countries too. No hard feelings. The door’s open 🇬🇧❤️🇪🇺

New winter bug detected: Trumpitis 🦠 Spreads across the Atlantic. Hits Europe fast. Lasts longer than we’d like. When America sneezes, Europe gets sick. But there's a remedy - Vitamin EU 🇪🇺 Stronger together and immune to what America throws at us! #Trump #Europe #VoltEuropa #Ireland

A new poll shows 85% of Greenlanders reject becoming part of the United States. And when you compare life under Denmark vs the USA, it’s not hard to see why. Greenland’s future must be decided by Greenlanders — not outside powers treating the Arctic like a prize. Europe & Denmark must stand firm!

Eurovision's motto is "United By Music", but how can we be united when one country is committing war crimes? Ireland and other countries are now withdrawing from the Eurovision Song Contest. It's time we stop whitewashing the Israeli Government's crimes against humanity #eurovision

Donald Trump now claims paracetamol / tylenol causes autism. Across Europe & the rest of the world, experts agree: it’s safe for pregnant women. There’s no link to autism. Trust science. Trust doctors. Trust the rest of the world - not Trump’s America.

Should every message you send be scanned before it’s delivered? The EU’s Chat Control plan risks weakening encryption, treating everyone as suspects & exposing us to hacks. Protecting children needs better policing & education - not mass scanning. #ChatControl #EU #VoltEuropa

🌍 The 80th UN General Assembly is underway But wars rage on: 🇵🇸 Palestine faces genocide, 🇸🇩 Sudan’s civil war displaces millions, 🇨🇩 DR Congo sees mass killings, 🇺🇦 Ukraine continues to defend itself from Russian invaders. The UN must act - protect civilians, end the wars, demand justice.

Once again, the UK’s far-right want to leave the ECHR. But the Good Friday Agreement - which ended decades of conflict - depends on it Without ECHR protections, peace in Northern Ireland is at risk Northern Ireland is both the UK's and Ireland's responsibility - conflict must never return #ECHR

Happy Independence Day, Ukraine! 🇺🇦 For 33 years, Ukraine has stood proud & free. Today that freedom is under attack Russia sees us in Europe as small & insignificant. But when we stand united, no global power can push us around. A free Ukraine means a free Europe 💙💛 #SlavaUkraini #Europe #Ukraine

Today, the UN has confirmed famine in Gaza. Like Ireland’s Great Famine, it’s not nature - it’s political. In 1840s, Britain let millions starve. Now, Israel blocks aid & weaponises hunger. This is a crime against humanity. Europe must not stay silent. #gaza #ireland #palestine #volteuropa

We wouldn't accept our country losing territory - so why should Ukraine? If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, Putin wins. Ukraine deserves its full freedom, its full sovereignty, and every inch of its territory back! #slavaukraini #ireland #europe #volteuropa #ukraine
