It was great to speak to students at the #FuckTheFees protest. Students have to continue to get organised against this government. Students need: ➡️ Publicly-funded Student Accommodation, ➡️ Properly funded education ➡️ An abolition of the 'Student Contribution Charge' https://t.co/pLMny5UBUx #Students #Education #Protest #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Students need publicly-funded Student Accommodation, properly funded education, and an abolition of the 'Student Contribution Charge'. #StudentAccommodation #EducationFunding #AbolishStudentFee #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Hence #Icannotprovideanycountrycodes.

Fair play to all the students out protesting in front of the Dáil today. Education should be free, but instead students are forced to pay thousands and thousands, with more and more reporting struggling to feed themselves and becoming homeless. #EducationIsARight https://t.co/A5arlZIBOA #Education #Students #Protest #IE

Public transport fare hikes are the opposite of what we need. We should be fighting for free, frequent, and reliable public transport, to get people out of cars and to help combat the cost of living crisis. Privatisation of our public transport has been a disaster. https://t.co/BiZ55LzjxS #PublicTransport #CostOfLiving #TransportEquity #Thetweetdoesnotspecificallymentionanycountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

All the families and advocacy groups that I know of say it's essential that we have a public Tribunal of Inquiry into the spinal care provided to children with scoliosis and spina bifida. It also shouldn't be the limited scope that is currently being talked about. https://t.co/mdUkGLkfBy #Scoliosis #SpinaBifida #HealthCare #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.

Does this explain things a little? We have to #StopTheGame. The FAI says it will not. We shouldn't be sportswashing a genocidal regime. Other players should follow the good example of Gavin Bazunu and refuse to play another game against this genocidal apartheid state. https://t.co/u58WLuq6jU #Sportswashing #HumanRights #Boycott #IE #PS #IL

Lively public meeting in Tallaght tonight about pulling the plug on data centres. They are costing us all every day - in our pockets with higher electricity prices, in slowing the delivery of housing and in higher carbon emissions. It's time to call a halt. https://t.co/r3QH3k0h9S #DataCentres #ElectricityPrices #ClimateAction #IE

It's thanks to people power, by ordinary people standing together with the community, that the Orange Order has been stopped until now. We will continue to stand with the residents on Garvaghy Road. There will be no return to sectarian Orange marches. #PeoplePower #CommunitySolidarity #NoSectarianism #GB #IE

These are fundamentals that would make people's lives materially better. But this government represents those who profit off the misery that ordinary people face in these crises. It's why we have to fight for an ecosocialist alternative to take on those profiteering interests. #Ecosocialism #SocialJustice #FightForChange #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

It's a political choice to NOT protect people, to allow profiteering by energy companies, to increase homelessness. Government has record surplus, but it's not being invested in things like a State Construction Company, free public transport, re-nationalising our energy sector. https://t.co/k6DJM6PDrQ #PoliticalChoice #EnergyProfit #PublicInvestment #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

People Before Profit Councillor Jess Spear has been forced to go to the High Court to stop the Council illegally raising the rent for 20,000 tenants by 25%+. Outrageously, Council management has ignored the democratic and legally binding vote of Councillors not to proceed. https://t.co/Tiq8wOzsvK #HousingCrisis #TenantRights #JusticeForTenants #IE

The government are failing children with additional needs on a fundamental level; forcing parents to battle for assessments, therapies, school places, & essential supports for their children. We stood with parents & carers protesting outside the Dáil today #EveryChildMatters https://t.co/lEtrYND3Fp #EveryChildMatters #AdditionalNeeds #ChildrensRights #IE

Residents brought me in to see the conditions, which are utterly unacceptable - mold, damp, broken doors & windows, broken lights inside and out, rats, as well as ongoing sewage smells. #HousingCrisis #UnacceptableConditions #TenantRights #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Instead of this, what are FF/FG doing? They're increasing public transport fares, trying to import fracked gas, and selling our water, electricity, and personal data out to big tech and their data centres! #CostOfLivingCrisis #CostOfGreed #CostOfLivingCrisis #PublicTransport #BigTech #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

What we need are: 1.) Energy credits to protect people from the cost of living crisis, & 2.) Price controls to stop profiteering by energy companies. We then need massive state investment to re-nationalise the energy sector, rapidly moving us away from reliance on fossil fuels. https://t.co/why2t813Y9 #EnergyCredits #PriceControls #RenewableEnergy #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.

Data centres are putting huge demands on our electricity system and infrastructure while households face rising costs and pressure on public services. The question of who pays for this expansion is also a question about what kind of economy we want, and who it is being run for. https://t.co/Lko7USLwx8 #DataCentres #Electricity #EconomyDebate #Therearenospecificcountrycodesinthetweetprovided.

Mass mobilisation stopped the Orange Order. The institutions of the state, the Parades Commission and the courts, opened the door to the Orange Order and a renewal of sectarian conflict. People power, in the face of 1,000 police officers, kept it closed for now. https://t.co/dnZnWb7eGa #OrangeOrder #PeoplePower #SectarianConflict #GB #NI

Residents still on Garvaghy Road. It's hard to see police being able to force the Orange Order through because of the scale of opposition. This is the frontline of the struggle on this island against sectarianism and division. https://t.co/hXLAadEBbA #GarvaghyRoad #Sectarianism #OrangeOrder #GB #IE

Police arrived at top of Garvaghy Road with threatening audio saying protestors will be arrested. https://t.co/kPsjUV6FXe #GarvaghyRoad #Protest #PoliceResponse #GB
