Denman Rooke will host a special housing meeting where residents under eviction threat at Cúirt Éigis, Ballybane will speak out. “If there’s one thing that the fuel protests in April have proven to everyone,” said Rooke, “it is that collective and direct action works. We need to grow that fight..."

Independent Ireland's Noel Thomas is a 10-year Fianna Fáil councillor. "But his politics haven't changed." says Denman Rooke. "That’s why his new party, Independent Ireland, is half-filled with ex-Fianna Fáilers who take their marching orders from business and landlords."

Denman Rooke has expressed support for the fuel protests and unequivocally condemned the authoritarian crackdown on peaceful protestors at the Galway docks, and the deployment of the army at Whitegate.

Denman Rooke kicks off his campaign as People Before Profit's representative in Galway West on Monday.

Cuirt Eigis, Ballybane, were informed by landlord Cathal Shevlin that they have until autumn to leave their homes and communities because he wants to refurbish and renovate them. Many of the residents are on Housing Assistance Payments (HAP) support and Rental Assistance Support (RAS)

Teachers’ Union of Ireland (TUI) held a lunchtime protest over cuts to the (ESOL) and adult literacy programmes in their Education and Training Board (GRETB). Rooke: "Principled workers... organised in their unions... standing up for services in the community... It's the best answer to austerity."

“Ordinary people in Ireland want no part in the terrorist campaigns of the US, why won’t the Irish government listen? If Spain, a NATO country, can refuse the use of their airbases to the US military, why can't Ireland?"

Government’s slow response to warnings about Ireland’s roads and bridges leaves us all at risk.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland notes Ireland’s national road network — a €31 billion asset carrying more than 3.5 million vehicles each day — is at serious risk of intensifying climate impacts.
