Ongoing policing and crowd management failures major cause of Derry football violence

Kneejerk responses to the violence which marred the visit of Bohemians to Derry City for their recent League of Ireland fixture only serves to ratchet up tensions, while allowing the PSNI and footballing authorities to escape their culpability for the disorder, says Garrett Greene, Workers' Party representative in Cabra-Glasnevin. Greene said: “The disturbing scenes from [...]

Plan to develop Sheriff Street comes at the expense of community and working people

A video from private property developer Ballymore showing plans to redevelop Dublin’s Sheriff Street and the surrounding area has sparked controversy, as working class people rightly fear the impact that prioritising the private market over people could have on their community, including the demolition of their homes to make way for office blocks and student [...]

BBC’s Kneecap blackout: a clamp down on freedom of expression and solidarity with Palestine

The BBC’s failure to broadcast Irish-language rap trio Kneecap’s landmark set at Glastonbury has sparked outrage. In choosing not to stream one of the festival’s most politically significant performances, the BBC has effectively silenced a powerful voice for resistance and solidarity. Kneecap’s art is satirical, symbolic, and unapologetically political, rooted in the lived experience of [...]

U.S. attacks on Iran pose serious threat as the imperialists march towards a Third World War

The Workers’ Party condemns the United States’ bombing of Iran, as well as Israeli attacks on Iran that began earlier this month.

Israel’s capturing of the Madleen is a vindictive and illegal act in aid of genocide

Israel's interception and boarding of the Madleen, a ship sailing with humanitarian aid for Palestine as part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, as well as the capturing of those on board, is not only a vindictive act, but also a grossly illegal one, according to Workers’ Party representative David Gardiner. Gardiner said: “The whole world [...]

~300 people queue, some overnight, for 38 houses at Seven Mills in Clondalkin

Newstalk has reported that 300 people queued, some overnight, for just 38 houses priced at up to €500,000 in Seven Mills in Clondalkin. With scenes like this now the norm in Dublin, it is abundantly clear that the private market cannot fix the housing crisis, and that the mass construction of public housing must be [...]

KNEECAP terror charges designed to silence those who oppose Zionism, colonialism and genocide

The charging of Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh from Belfast, better known as Mo Chara of rap group Kneecap, on terror offences is a cynical move by the British establishment to silence those who oppose Zionism, colonialism and Israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people. It is a perfectly legitimate political position to oppose a genocidal, ethnonationalist [...]

Victory Day 2025

Yesterday marked Victory Day 2025. We honour the 27 million Soviet citizens who defeated Nazi fascism and ended the Holocaust. Today, we are witnessing the horrors of another genocide, perpetuated by the US and Israel against Palestinians. We also see NATO expansion to Russia's borders mirrors past imperial aggression. Russia's resistance challenges the imperialist order [...]
