LOCAL ELECTIONS: EVICT FIANNA FÁIL AND FINE GAEL
We should use the local elections to pay back Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Greens for all of their policies since they got back into power. They lifted the Eviction Ban which saw homelessness skyrocket while at the same time they have given tax breaks to big landlords. Their housing plans have failed to provide people with homes but have been very successful in enriching landlords and developers.
We need to use the local elections to deliver a clear message to the establishment parties. We need to vote for radical change. People Before Profit is the only party that will not enter coalition with Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. At local councils we will not vote for Mayors from the establishment parties. We will not engage in horse trading.
We stand for Real change.
People Before Profit is standing nearly 50 candidates across the country. To check the candidate for your area, click on https://www.pbp.ie/le2024-candidates/

A EUROPE FOR PEOPLE NOT FOR PROFIT
People Before Profit are running three candidates in the European Parliament elections. They are Brid Smith TD for Dublin; Cian Prendeville for South; and Brian O’Boyle for Midlands-North-West.
Ireland needs to send radical socialist voices to the EU Parliament to challenge the hypocrisy and double standards. We have no illusion that a few MEPs can change its undemocratic structures, but we can expose the power of corporate lobbyists and backroom dealings.
We can be a socialist voice that presses for real solidarity with Palestine. We can call out the double standards whereby the EU gives €26 billion in military supplies to Ukraine but, behind its show of ‘concern’, backs Israel to the hilt.
Against the image of the EU as a ‘progressive’ body that promotes diversity, we will be a voice for refugees and asylum seekers. We will ask continually why 20,000 people had to drown in the Mediterranean so that ‘fortress Europe’ could be preserved.
We live in an era where our planet is threatened by escalating climate change. Despite volumes of speeches, in 2023 global temperature reached its highest ever recorded level.
Green parties who were once prominent in highlighting environmental destruction are now part of the political establishment. They have embraced the very neoliberal measures that make it impossible to control runaway temperatures.
People Before Profit offers an alternative socialist voice that will challenge the logic of capitalism to help save our planet.
