🏛️ Shameful Selling The GPO

The Government last night voted to sell off the GPO . They want to carve up our national symbol, the GPO, site of the 1916 Rising , into shopping units and offices.

This is a betrayal of our revolutionary heritage and a slap in the face to generations who fought for sovereignty.

But this isn't an isolated issue and below aren't the only examples.
What Have Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil Sold Off or Privatised?

1. Aer Lingus

Sold by: Fianna Fáil began process, Fine Gael completed full sale in 2015

Impact: Loss of national airline. Workers’ rights undermined. National connectivity and strategic transport weakened

2. Bord Gáis Energy

Sold by: Fine Gael (2014)

Impact: Sold to British giant Centrica. Energy prices have soared. Profits now leave the country instead of supporting public investment.

3. Irish Sugar (Greencore)

Privatised: Fianna Fáil (1991)

Impact: Shut down sugar production. Thousands of rural jobs lost. Ireland now imports sugar despite our strong agricultural sector.

4. Water Services / Irish Water

Pushed by: Fine Gael (2013–2016)

Impact: Tried to commodify and meter public water through Irish Water. Massive public backlash stopped it but it revealed their privatisation intent.
( sneakily creeping back in)

5. Public Land and Housing Sites

Ongoing: Both parties have facilitated the sell-off of state-owned land to private developers.

Impact: Land that could deliver public housing is used for expensive Build-to-Rent blocks. Housing crisis worsens while investors profit.

6. RTÉ Land & Services

Supported by: Fine Gael

Impact: Strategic land sold while the national broadcaster struggles financially. Public service media undermined, paving way for corporate influence.

7. ESB & Energy Market

Targeted by: Fine Gael (ongoing pressure for “liberalisation”)

Impact: Partial privatisation has made energy a commodity. Prices rise while state control and strategic planning weaken.

Best of skill to the ladies of AGB

What an achievement for the young ladies under 15 team of Agb Pro representing club, town & county at the national Féile in Derry today.
They are eager to stand against other future national champions.
Arklow has a proud sporting tradition across all disciplines and the year's of dedication not only by the players but the coaching staff is paying off across the board. Always cheered on by incredible supporters.

Once again a combined effort for the love of the game, the hope for generations and the pride of a community.

Neart óna chéile, misneach óna gcroí.

Brilliant news for inclusive sport in Wicklow! 🏅

Congratulations to the club's who were successful in getting funding through the 2025 Disability Sports Club Grants 👏

Behind each successful application is a club that's working hard to break down barriers, open doors and make sport truly inclusive for everyone , no matter their ability. This funding will go towards vital training, adapted equipment and more accessible programmes that change lives.

Credit to Wicklow local sports partnership who are a vital part of the great work being done across our communities and I'm so honoured to sit on this committee.

💶💶 PROPERTY TAX INCREASE 💶💶

Every homeowner in Wicklow and across the State has just been hit with another hike in their property tax.
And let’s be clear this wasn’t some accident or oversight. It was backed by Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, Labour, the Social Democrats and some Independents.

At a time when families are already stretched to the limit with the cost-of-living crisis, this is what they chose to do , pile another bill onto ordinary people.

We now live in one of the most expensive countries in Europe. That’s not just opinion , that’s the EU average. Irish households are paying more for food, fuel, housing and energy than almost anywhere else.

_______________SCREWED AGAIN________________

Paschal Donohoe attends the Bilderberg meeting with Christine Lagarde… and days later announces the State has sold off its last shares in AIB!

Let’s break this down:

💸 In 2010, the Irish people bailed out AIB with €20.8 billion , that’s about €30 billion today, adjusted for inflation.

🏦 This week, the government pulled in just €305 million for the final sale, bringing the total return to €19.8 billion.

We’re left with a €1 billion shortfall or €10 billion in today’s value.

How big is €1 billion?
Let’s measure it in time:
⏱️ 1 million seconds = 11.5 days
⏱️ 1 billion seconds = 31.7 years

So no , it’s not “just a billion.”
We lost a lifetime’s worth of public money,
while communities across Ireland still wait for basic supports & services.

🔚 AIB is now fully privatised.
💼 Executive pay caps? Gone.
💰 Directors are cashing in , while we pay high interest .

They got bailed out.
We got sold out.
