"Unions to focus on cost-of-living supports on May Day"
Sorry, folks, but the money's gone: three-quarters of a billion euro of public monies, palmed off by the government to agri business interests, so workers and wider society in Ireland are fucked for the foreseeable.
Happy May Day. ✊🏼

Price caps were a core demand of the fuel protests.
Why does the government refuse to implement them?
Next month it'll be 2 years since we introduced our ‘Emergency Price Controls Bill’, which would impose a cap of €1.75 a litre on petrol/diesel and a €1 a litre cap on home heating oil.
Our bill also includes price caps on gas and electricity - which will continue to go up even higher if this government continues to sit on its hands as ordinary people suffer.
My contribution on the fuel protests at last nights Coinnigh Clé hustings in the teachers club.
All around it was a very interesting night with great input from all candidates.

The recent abuse directed at Senator Eileen Flynn must be called what it is, Traveller #racism
The narrative goes beyond political disagreement. Personal attacks on her intelligence, her voice and her appearance are not legitimate critique. They draw on long-standing stereotypes that have been used to exclude Travellers from public life for generations

Those #FuelProtests may have started with local racists and/or genuinely disgruntled farmers/hauliers BUT look at what large global accounts shared those protests and are still sharing them.
Look who the “leaders” of the protests are now meeting.
It’s all right out of the fascist handbook….
I’m pretty sure I’m right on this.
Steve Bannon has been c clear about his intentions in Europe and it WAS working but thankfully in some countries we’re voting centre or left again.
Bit still….
“I will not stand by when our flag is being used to promote hatred, division and anti-migrant remarks. For me, the flag means peace, unity and justice and equality”
Senator Eileen Flynn says she has faced worst online abuse and hate yet in past week (...) in the wake of comments about the #FuelProtests
Flynn made history when she became the 1st woman from the #Traveller community to sit in the upper house

Councillor Dan Boyle, as per usual, sticking his neck out for us. No surprise, he gets LOTS of abuse for it

The "grassroots campaign" is up and running 👀
Note: There is no McDonalds (or McDomalds) pub in Bray. There is a fast-food place of that name.
Ireland's #FuelProtests have been run by bullying men with big machines and far-right politics.
