James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 05/03/2026We don’t need more data centres, we need sustainable infrastructure redevelopment. These sites don’t have to be data centres, it’s a political decision to back big tech over ordinary people and the environment. 031
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 02/02/2026It’s astonishing how inefficient the government is at delivering basic services. Ordinary people will suffer from this further delay. Children who need these services now will be adults by the time it’s delivered. 000

James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 24/11/2025Landlord council serving landlord interests. When services go underfunded or ordinary people's taxes and rents go up remember the council's decision to protect the privileged classes. (3/3) 051
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 24/11/2025 The previous 50% rates abatement for vacant properties will be reduced to 0% from January 2026, "encouraging" property owners to bring units back into use. Those sitting over empty properties should be penalised not rewarded. (2/3) 151
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 24/11/2025 Louth County Council for the 2026 budget has gone ahead with tax breaks for vacant landlords. (1/3) 151

James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 02/09/2025If it was multinational corporations in distress you could be sure Erin would resolve the issue immediately whilst ignoring workers in this case. The strongest tool workers have is withdrawing their labour, strike till victory, up the workers. #pensionparity 001
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 02/09/2025 "Hey Erin, where's our pensions?" Great to see all the striking workers outside Fianna Fáil TD Erin McGreehan's office. (1/2) 131
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 29/08/2025Get out to support the picket lines on Monday, a win for these workers can put manners back on this arrogant government inspiring other workers to fight back. (3/3) #victorytotheworkers 020
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 29/08/2025School secretaries are in a similar position. The caretakers and secretaries are vital to the functioning of our schools and deserve the same conditions as the other workers. (2/3) 120
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 29/08/2025I met Brian, a caretaker of 22 years at the national rally for pension parity for school secretaries and caretakers yesterday. He was telling me he’s not even on the public sector payroll, no pension and if a bereavement occurs on the weekend he’s back to work on the Monday. (1/2) 121
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 08/08/2025israel has murdered Palestinian football icon Suleiman Al-Obeid whilst he was waiting for aid in Gaza. Instead of FIFA and UEFA kicking out israel from competitions, all they have done is fine football fans for displaying solidarity with Palestine. 773

James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 30/07/2025We call on Louth County Council to: •Stop plans to halt 2026 rates for vacancy •Increase rates to full 100% on vacant & derelict buildings •Add identified derelict properties to the Derelict Sites Register (2/3) 110
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 30/07/2025We delivered our submission to Louth County Council to prevent any tax breaks for vacant landlords supported by 560 households and individuals. Landlords don’t need anymore handouts, they need to be penalised. (1/3) 120
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 17/07/2025It only makes sense if you’re a multi property landlord or political groups that represent their interests, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. (2/2) 021
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Back out on the doors last night with our petition, link to sign also in bio. The idea that a select few who have the luxury of hoarding vacant property could receive tax breaks seems ludicrous to the vast majority of us who will never be in this position. (1/2) 122
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 14/07/2025The council has the money to tackle vacancy but hasn’t used it and they haven’t bothered to collect any of the Derelict Sites Levy. This is more of the same, landlord council and government looking after their landlord mates. #socialism #louth #homesforpeoplenotprofit (2/2) 031
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 14/07/2025Sign the petition (linktr.ee/pbpdundalk) no tax breaks for vacant landlords! Louth County Council is considering cutting the rates on empty properties in 2026. We don’t need to incentivise vacant landlords to utilise their properties, we need to penalise them. (1/2) 163
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Whether it’s ignorance, cynicism or a mixture of both it doesn’t work. We’ve gone through the effort of making a graphic to demonstrate this, hopefully the government see this and take it on board but I doubt that. #equalityineducation (2/2) 000
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 03/07/2025The response from Local Fianna Fáil TD to our Equality in Education protest typifies how the government responds to crisis. (1/2) 110
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 25/06/2025If it was the landlords or bankers in crisis, you could be sure they’d be looked after immediately. Marginalised families and children are still waiting for answers. (2/2) #equalityineducation 011
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 25/06/2025Parents, children and supporters of the Equality in Education campaign outside Fianna Fáil TD Erin McGreehan’s office demanding their kids and all kids have an appropriate school place this September. (1/2) 111
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 22/06/2025In a society based on competition and exploitation the most marginalised disproportionately suffer. To challenge this we are building community and a society of care, get involved. (3/3) #equalityineducation 020
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 22/06/2025If this can’t be met, the government has demonstrably failed some of the most marginalised children and families in society. (2/3) 120
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 22/06/2025Proud to have organised this public demonstration yesterday with 4AL/All Abilities Action Alliance Louth. We have a simple demand, that every child with additional needs in Louth has an appropriate school place in September. (1/3) 264
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Join the demonstration - This Saturday @ 12 noon in the Market Square Dundalk #dundalk #louth #schools4all 031
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 06/06/2025We can't divorce mental health distress from the underpinnings of the economic system we live under. Capitalism produces isolation and loneliness, rising mental health issues will be endemic until we challenge the system itself. #mentalhealth #socialism 000
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the free state commit social murder by chronically underfunding mental health services, implementing harmful public policies and creating intolerable living conditions for many. 100
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 06/06/2025Dusted off the boots a while ago for the Lee Jay Memorial Cup organised by Maxis Law This Saturday we need feet on the street again for appropriate mental health access for all. 110

James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 05/06/2025We would encourage anyone who can to attend the national protest in Dublin this Saturday meeting at the Garden of Remembrance at 2pm. (3/3) #equalityineducation 000
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Great discussions on resourcing issues, the legal framework and ultimately the impact this campaign has on reflecting what is a narrow and rigid education system built to reinforce and replenish the idealised worker for the labour market under capitalism. (2/3) 100
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Thanks to 4AL/All Abilities Action Alliance Louth for organising the coffee morning and Niamh Maher from Healy Law for coming down. It is inspiring to see families continuously failed by the state maintain the fight back and demand equality for their children's right to education (1/3) 100
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 29/04/2025At a time when the government has deep pockets for weapons and bombs yet not enough for children with additional needs. Bottom up grassroots campaigning is how we will win the change our kids need and deserve. Get involved. #equalityineducation (2/2) 021
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Happy to have chaired the equality in education public meeting organised with @4AL. As we approach a new school year far too many children are faced with uncertainty. Too many are being asked to wait or denied services and many local schools are not equipped with the necessary supports. (1/2) 131
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 22/04/2025Come to the public meeting to be a part of this. 010
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 22/04/2025We were out last weekend at the Square in Dundalk promoting the Equality in Education public meeting in Redeemer Family Resource Centre on Thursday 24th 6pm - 8pm. We are happy to be a part of the broad, parent-led campaign for school places, services and supports. 242
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 13/04/2025 Waiting on a school place, denied supports, services or an assessment for your child? Come to this public meeting to fight alongside others! #equalityineducation #specialeducation @paulmurphy.pbp.ie 021
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Continuing our anti-militarism campaign in Muirhevnamore this evening. We must maintain our neutrality and the triple lock is key to that. Money shouldn't be wasted on fighter jets when our basic services are in tatters. Welfare not warfare, homes not bombs, the main enemy is at home. #notonato 020
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Best thing we can do is continue the work Richard has championed for decades ❤️🩹 051
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Social democracy can only exist, feasibly, primarily via imperialism. The reason capitalism is able to provide a robust welfare state is through the impoverishment of the global south. (3/3) 000
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Palestine is a necessary sacrifice for imperialist super profits. Those who posture for a free Palestine whilst being watchdogs of capitalism and corrupters of the labour movement is an oxymoron.(2/3) 200
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Went to a talk by Francesca Albanese. Her criticism of social democracy in a room full of those who support that system was the highlight. (1/3) 110
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 15/03/2025The working class in Ireland suffers at the hands of the very people driving us towards militarism, NATO (a member occupies part of our island) and an EU army. Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the class they represent is who we need to fight against. (3/3) #classwar 020
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 15/03/2025The drive to militarism are resources that should be spent on reopening the Louth Hospital, ensuring all children have an appropriate school place in September and tackling the housing crisis. (2/3) 120
James Renaghan PBP @jamesrenaghanpbp.bsky.social · 15/03/2025“The main enemy is at home!” The slogan to an anti-war leaflet by German socialist Karl Liebknecht in 1915 and socialists in Ireland are repeating this call today. (1/3) 131
