Moving to Scotland as an Irish citizen, I had equal rights to British citizens, and that encouraged me to participate more in Scottish society.
Expanding the franchise to migrants helps to integrate more people into society and helps build social cohesion and community.

Currently, migrants in Ireland could be vilified easily by politicians because they lack most democratic rights.
We already allow all EU citizens to vote in EU elections, and all residents to vote in local elections.
But we must allow all residents to vote in Dáil and Presidential elections, in order to ensure that all politicians are incentivised to represent *everyone* in Ireland.
#IrelandForAll #irish #ireland #irishpolitics #immigration #democracy
#democracy #immigration #irishpolitics #ireland #irish #irelandforall
The single most important thing that Irish politicians can do is expand the voting franchise to include all residents (as #Scotland and other countries have done), so that migrants are given a democratic voice.
Without such support, all they do is pay lip service to diversity.
In Scotland, even the Tories aren't that anti-immigration, because all politicians need to gain as many votes as possible and compete for all residents' votes.

It's #WorldRefugeeDay & we are aware how those of our community who are forced to leave their homes struggle and the impact it has. Many may have been forced to flee persecution due to their neurodivergency. Being neurodivergent and having to face the unknown in an unknown place must be extremely difficult.
We wish to send solidarity to all taking part in Le Chéile - Diversity Not Division 'Ireland For All' demonstration taking place at the Garden of Remembrance from 5.30PM

Great collection of anti-racist activists from various groups in Galway sharing a message of love, solidarity, and welcome to the refugees due to be housed in Ballybrit, Galway.
We were in sunny Castlepark today and had numerous great positive conversations with folks on the doors with only a few tough conversations. But those need to be had too.

People Before Profit welcomes people seeking international protection to Galway.
People seeking asylum are due to move into Ballybrit in the coming weeks. Our branch is ready to work with others to give them a warm Galway welcome.
We have confidence that the people of Galway will refuse to be swayed by malicious actors who want to deflect our anger away from the government and landlord class onto other ordinary people.

This Saturday I marched with People Before Profit Galway alongside the Galway Communities Against Racism and Discrimination network in solidarity against racism and discrimination. We're stronger together.✊
Racism must be challenged in all its forms, including govt policy.

Is there anyone in Dublin 7 leading community efforts in support of refugees and/or against petit fash who are trying to whip up fear & hate in the area?
Asking for the majority of people.
There are ghouls this week - and on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine - who are trying to intimidate people in Stoneybatter, and who are willingly led by racists, can go to hell.
They do not represent Dublin 7.
