People simply cannot afford an extra €100 a month. Contact us to get involved in the campaign to stop them.
It doesn’t matter if the Taoiseach's father drove buses, it matters that he made every working person in this country worse off in the last budget while making multi-billion euro companies even richer.

Why do data centres get to pay half the price that ordinary people pay for electricity?
We need an emergency energy credit, and then we need price caps on energy to stop any profiteering in this cost of living crisis.
We used to have the cheapest electricity in Europe when our energy was nationalised. It is an essential for everyone - we need to re-nationalise our energy.
On Sunday we knocked on over 4,000 doors and heard a clear message: people want change and they believe it’s possible. Across our communities, people are feeling the pressure of the cost of living and energy crisis.
Vote Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin #1 in Dublin Central. People Before Profit have the only candidates that guarantee to never prop up Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael, the parties whose policies made the crises we face.
