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 [...]
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 [...]
On Thursday (22nd May, 2025), we raised the parting glass in memory of our dear friend and comrade, Elaine Rush.

Controversy around the installation of Irish-language signage in Belfast's Grand Central train station is much ado about nothing, and attempts to halt the work are the cynical efforts of those playing up to a sectarian gallery, according to Caoimhe Garland, National Organiser of the Workers’ Party Republican Clubs. Garland said: “In other parts of these [...]
Concerns around school places for children with additional needs must be addressed by the Department of Education as a matter of urgency, according to David Gardiner, Workers' Party representative for Palmerstown-Fonthill. Gardiner said: “It is imperative that children with additional needs receive the support and resources that they require to thrive both academically and socially. [...]
So-called affordable housing at O'Devaney Gardens is set to be priced at over €400,000. As well as not actually being affordable, the sensible option would be for the state to build public housing, rather than for it to subsidise private developers, according to Workers’ Party representative Garrett Greene.
