Myth: Universal Basic Income is a magnet for the idle. In reality, it's the catalyst for unleashed potential. Visualize a world where your next meal isn't your next worry. That world is one giant leap closer to solving the puzzles of poverty and unleashing collective brilliance.

Did you know that basic income isn't a new concept? It's been trialed around the world with promising success. Yet, critics remain skeptical despite the many positive impacts. The fear of change is common, but change is needed to create a more equitable and innovative society.

Everyone is #BetterInATradeUnion
Union members earn more and enjoy better working conditions than non members. That’s a fact!
And if you ever have an issue at work, your union will have your back.

The trade union movement has come together to create a national campaign to promote the benefits of trade union membership.
#BetterInATradeUnion explains why unions are vital for everyone at work and encourages people who aren’t yet in a union to join.

Ireland—the only Eurozone country that does not index the state pension against price inflation or wage increases.
This is the kind of analysis missing in all the commentary on #Budget2024
The IMF and OECD advise fully protecting those on low fixed incomes from the state.

Older people deserve a secure retirement not to be treated like a political football at Budget time.
It’s high time Government keeps its promise of a State Pension rate of 34% of average earnings. Nothing less will do.
