Ireland is taking a dangerous lurch rightward. It hasn’t happened today on the street in Dublin or at protests in Wicklow. It has being going on for months. The upcoming elections will see a whole host of crazy right wingers running. We need to say no to hate and no to racism !

Deeply saddened to learn of the news of Niamh’s passing. An absolute trailblazer and inspiration. Many will remember her for the abolition of 3rd level fees,but I’ll always remember her for “breaking the cycle” a programme which ensured kids like me went on to reach our potential
Niamh Bhreathnach was a true feminist and socialist, and an unstoppable campaigner for equality.
She played a vital role with

and was a passionate advocate for gender equality in our politics.

Heartbreaking and this was written in 1982 ! I think of my own kids and how lucky we and they are. Warm and safe in their beds but as innocent and vulnerable as the kids in Palestine. This senseless, shameful war must end.
In "Ó Mo Bheirt Phalaistíneach", written in 1982, poet Michael Davitt is horrified by a news report of murdered Palestinian children. Then, as he checks on his own sleeping children in their beds, he is struck by them being as innocent and vulnerable as the kids in Palestine.
