Government doesn't work here. The same manoeuvre was used to block the extension of the welfare reform mitigations during the last mandate. Deirdre Hargey tried on 18 occasions to get the issue on the agenda. Total dysfunction.

Ireland has the largest trade exposure to the USA in the EU.
Why?
Because Ireland is the global hub for big-pharma US MNE tax avoidance strategies.
US pharma firms report very little profit in 🇺🇸 They report it in 🇮🇪
Ireland needs to wake up: Trump is going to disrupt this.

Hillary Clinton on a podium at QUB pontificating about the benefits of peace & how a society prospers when killing stops. If Carlsberg did irony, this would be it. While students protested outside about Gaza, NI's great & good warmly welcomed a warmonger.

Shocking footage of the @PSNIBelfast assaulting student’s peacefully protesting tonight.
Students have protested against @QUBelfast ‘s complicity in genocide, failure to condemn genocide & support for @HillaryClinton without ANY violence or arrests for the past year.

The North, within the confines of the UK & devolution, will never have access to the basic monetary and fiscal powers required to address social and ecological crises.
Greens, socialists, progressives must understand this reality as a constitutional barrier to social change.

A must-read: the pernicious influence of the livestock industry on research and policy. That this “declaration” was launched in Dublin at a @teagasc event - a state body - is symbolic of how deep this influence goes in Ireland.
