Lough Neagh and the Treason of Bad Stewardship
Lough Neagh is the largest freshwater lake in Ireland. Yet this vast area has been left between British imperialist rule, its incompetent Stormont regime and the absurd private title of an English aristocratic estate.

The Blue Wall of Silence Around Terence Wheelock
Twenty-one years ago, Terence Wheelock was dragged away into Store Street Garda Station and did not walk back out. This crime committed by those who are tasked with being the guardians of the peace, who murdered this young man, covered it up and built a blue wall of silence.

A Stern Critique of Tommy Hickey
A disgraceful article was published last month by Tommy Hickey arguing that the militant left is as bad as the militant right.

The Left Needs A Migration Policy Based on Class Solidarity
If the left has a position on immigration at all, it is that the state bureaucracy should maintain a relaxed policy and that working-class communities have no right to dictate who becomes their neighbour, their colleague, or their fellow citizen. Marx's basic insight has been stood on its head.

The Ruling Class' Profiteering From IPAS Can No Longer Be Ignored

Our Anti-Racist Movement Needs To Fight The Disease Of Neoliberalism
Today I attended the unity protest following the murder of Yves Sakila by the Arnotts security staff. Death at the hands of private security staff is not unprecedented here, in the past few years at least two other men have been killed by overly-aggressive night club bouncers.

Brown Envelopes, Bags of Brown, Brownshirts, and Bertie: A Unified Timeline of How Dublin Became Patient Zero for Reaction
Bertie swapped brown envelopes while in power for political capital on hate against brown and black people. Irony: he and FF built the crises they blame on immigrants. The Irish right blaze a path for FF rule at the expense of everyone darker than milky tea.
