No pay offer is on the table. No guarantee from the Government that inflation busting pay increases will be delivered. What really is acceptable? The numbers show workers need 10% now as a bare minimum, and the money is there to pay for this.

Harkin: Decision Against Emergency Department Underscores Stormont Regional Disparity Policy

Call Meetings in Your Job on Monday: "Union leaders have called off the action for next Wednesday, but they cannot deliver on the basis of what the Government has put on the table. Pressure must be sustained to ensure workers get at least 10% and get it now. The money is there to pay for it."

It's Kilmeadan 1 - Tech Billionaires 0: the controversial unwelcome data centre plan has been denied planning permission.

“Time and again, working-class families are told to wait while budgets are balanced on their backs. This Bill should be a floor, rather a ceiling. People Before Profit wants universal free school meals for every child."

Gerry Carroll MLA: "Power sharing was sold as the mechanism that would resolve exactly these kinds of disputes. Instead, a single Orange lodge with a grievance has brought the institutions to the brink in a week. This is the inevitable result of a system built on sectarian designation."

"People seeking help with housing are not a threat to children. Many are parents themselves. Treating them as a danger only deepens the stigma that stops people reaching out for help.”

"This crisis is also the product of years of underfunding by successive Executives and Westminster austerity. Schools need proper investment - not more demands on an exhausted workforce.”

People Before Profit calls for ban on new data centres - ‘the toxic waste of the 21st century’.

Vastly expanding the public transport network, both bus and rail, is critical for addressing congestion, pollution, accessibility, affordability and regional disparities. The Infrastructure Minister and Stormont Executive can't sit on their hands while damaging cuts are imposed.

The Data Centres operating in Ireland can easily pay for normal Irish energy prices, but THEY get it HALF PRICE. Their prices should go up, and ours should come down through our plan for a 500 euro energy credit. It makes sense, so let's make it happen. Meet Monday 6pm on Zoom. Details below.

Analysis shows People Before Profit’s Budget 2026 proposals are highly progressive: 95% of households are better off. Income gains for low and middle-income households? Higher than any other party’s proposals. Opposition parties need much more redistributive ambition for left government.
