There is now real momentum behind our campaign. More and more people are saying that they want to vote left and understand that the most effective left vote is 1 for Eoghan and transfer left.10 May 2026 07:50 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlibkms3yw2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3mlecrxxxed24Some great news! We've just heard back from RTÉ that we are now being included in the final debate of the campaign, the Radio 1 debate on Friday May 15th. Fair play to every single person who signed our petition and supported Eoghan getting on the debate. Just two weeks to go...08 May 2026 18:01 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlecrxxxed24https://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3mlbzd4uyai24Big meeting tonight against plans to move Edmonstown Sorting Office to Lucan. It makes no sense for workers or the public. It will mean a drastic worsening of service and people may have to go to Lucan for missed parcels! A protest is planned to save our sorting office.07 May 2026 20:06 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlbzd4uyai24https://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3mlbssg7dhk26Solidarity with Covalen workers! 700 workers are set to lose their jobs (on top of 300 previous), with no redundancy from a company that made €26 million in profits last year...

An Post are planning to move the Edmondstown sorting office all the way to Lucan. For anyone who needs to collect a parcel or missed delivery, this move to Lucan could mean a long trip across the city.

The way these workers are being treated is outrageous. They are at the being left with no redundancy, and disgracefully prevented from working in the same area for 6 months.07 May 2026 14:35 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlbgs63qqb2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3ml736jsk5j2cIt makes no sense whatsoever to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from the Dublin Central by-election debates. By any metric, he should be getting space out of the 3 debates. It is not for RTÉ to determine what the results of the by-election will be, it is up to the people of Dublin Central.06 May 2026 16:02 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml736jsk5j2chttps://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3ml6ythqq4c2sWe are appealing to RTÉ to reverse the decision to exclude Eoghan Ó Ceannabháin from all RTÉ debates during their coverage of the Dublin Central By-Election. All of the other eight viable candidates are included in at least one debate, yet Eoghan is excluded from all three debates planned.06 May 2026 15:20 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml6ythqq4c2shttps://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3mkxqhylaeh2cWhat do you think the government's "generous" package? Even when the majority of people are feeling the bite, this government can't help but bring in help for big business. It's a cost of living crisis on top of a cost of living crisis for ordinary people.

Why does the government refuse to implement them? Next month it'll be 2 years since we introduced our ‘Emergency Price Controls Bill’, which would impose a cap of €1.75 a litre on petrol/diesel and a €1 a litre cap on home heating oil. #PriceCaps30 Apr 2026 19:05 +0000at://did:plc:ui7decoar7dhtjwxpenpezv3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkqcmw3l4b2chttps://bsky.app/profile/paulmurphy.pbp.ie/post/3mkq2sfvvti2yWhy is government afraid to admit their 'shed-sit' policy is taken directly from the Collison billionaire-backed 'Progress Ireland' think tank?

Everything is going up except my wage." This is how ordinary people right across the country are feeling.
