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.
The government serve the billionaires, serve their representatives in the EU, want Ireland to back their wars, and have destroyed public services and social security in this country all to allow the richest in our society to make a profit.
We need to fight against them for an #AffordableIreland
Some good news - After nearly 12 years vacant, 61 Swiftbrook Drive is finally back on the market. It's up for auction, so we hope that soon this will become a much-needed home for a family.
We've been campaigning on this property for years, and last year brought a motion to SDCC to request that the Council initiate CPO proceedings on it. This meant that the Council had to contact Pepper, the vulture fund in control of the property, to pressure them to either USE or LOSE the property.

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.
