@Ciaraioch@mastodon.ie Go hálainn! It's a shame that it's almost impossible to use an Irish county name in a postal address online these days, since you have to select it from a list of English only options. Some websites even replace your address with the English version as soon as you enter an Eircode 😭

@psneeze @ciaranmak I see working class people, trying to defend their livelihoods. Shouldn't there be solidarity, support and leadership from the left? Branding working class people as far right, any time they stand up for themselves is part of the reason the right is able to gain so much power.

@faduda @psneeze @ciaranmak @janwwbosch shocks like this are great at killing off small businesses who can't absorb the costs. Our neoliberal politicians don't care about them. Our government cares about foreign direct investment and big business, not about the working class. There is plenty more they could do to intervene, and they obviously need persuasion. If the left doesn't support and organise with the working class, we know who will.
