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 [...]
The Workers’ Party condemns the United States’ bombing of Iran, as well as Israeli attacks on Iran that began earlier this month. This latest development is yet another dangerous escalation by the United States and NATO in their ongoing campaign of expansion against those who resist their influence, from Russia to Palestine and now further [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]
The Workers’ Party sends May Day greetings to all working people this International Workers’ Day. The capitalist system continues to prove itself unable and unwilling to balance the interests of the great mass of society; the working class, with the wishes of an affluent few; the capitalist class. It is the working class that keeps [...]
The following is a statement from David Gardiner, Workers' Party representative for Palmerstown-Fonthill, on speculation around the old skate park warehouse in Cherry Orchard Industrial Estate being used as an IPAS site, as well as the protest that followed.

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 [...]
