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.

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

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'.

Claim: "The only way to get a change of government is to vote for Sinn Féín." Fact: Only PBP guarantee to support a left government and never to vote for Micheal Martin or Simon Harris for Taoiseach. Unfortunately SF (and others) insist on 'keeping the option open' of sharing power with FF or FG.
