The bill would allow small landlords to reset rents to market rates between tenancies and will introduce six-year tenancies, amongst other changes.

When Catherine Connolly was elected president with the support of every left-wing party, it sparked new hope on the left that greater cooperation between Sinn Fein, Labour, the Greens, the Social Democrats and People Before Profit could reap further electoral dividends. How realistic is that hope? And how would a left alliance actually work? Hugh talks to academic Aidan Regan and political correspondent Cormac McQuinn.Aidan Regan is a professor of political economy at the school of politics and international relations at University College Dublin Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textAirports full of bowed heads and glowing screens told us something we couldn't ignore: we're hyper-connected and emotionally disconnected. So we took that tension to a room of HR leaders in London and asked a hard question—what if the most reliable path to profit starts with the human nervous system?We reframe ROI as Return on Intention and break it into three practical levers: Regulation, Ownership, and Integrity. Through real client stories, we show how a pause-before-send protocol saves relationships and decisions when stress spikes. We explore how blame cycles kill learning, and how shifting from hostile why to compassionate curiosity keeps teams engaged through failure. And we examine the cost of integrity gaps—those moments when hiring promises collide with impossible workloads—and why people don't just leave jobs, they leave misalignment.This conversation blends lived experience, recovery wisdom, and neuroscience into a modern, trauma-informed framework leaders can use to build emotionally sober cultures. You'll hear how to turn inventories into post-mortems that teach, how to make integrity measurable by tracking promise-keeping, and why tending to the person behind the performance drives retention, innovation, and productivity. The takeaway is simple and bold: invest in emotional ROI first, and the financial ROI follows.If this resonates, tap follow, share with a colleague who shapes culture, and leave a review to help more leaders find it.

Catherine Connolly has won a resounding victory in the Presidential election with the largest percentage and largest total votes of any presidential candidate in history. It is also the first time the left has won a majority of votes in a national election in Ireland.  Connolly did this while up against the political and media establishment, and with a strong left platform that included opposing Israel's genocide and aspirations for a more just and equal society.  Isaac Nellist spoke to Irish ecosocialist activist Paul Murphy about why Connolly's campaign was so successful.  Paul is now a member of People Before Profit and is a Teachta Dála (TD, member of the lower house of the Irish Parliament) for the party in Dublin South-West. People Before Profit played a big part in the Connolly campaign. Paul is a former Member of the European Parliament for the Socialist Party for Dublin.. He has been active in a number of campaigns including against water charges, against racism, for refugee rights, solidarity with Palestine and against re-armament of Europe and NATO expansion.  We acknowledge that this video was produced on stolen Aboriginal land.

In this episode we talk to Madeleine Johansson of Red Network. Madeleine moved from Sweden to Ireland in the 2000s where she became active with the Socialist Workers' Party (SWP) and People Before Profit (PBP). She was a party organiser and director of elections for the 2016 General Election campaign in Dublin Mid-West, subsequently co-opted on to South Dublin County Council in 2016, and returned in the 2019 and 2024 local elections. Madeleine was a founding member of Red Network, which was formed in 2021 within People Before Profit before becoming an independent party in 2025. She is the author of Class War – Not Culture War (2025) and Reform or Revolution – Sweden, Socialism and The Welfare State (2022), available from the Red Network website. We discuss Madeleine's early political experience and the contrast between Sweden and Ireland; her work as an activist and organiser with SWP during the austerity years and campaigns against household charges, property tax and water charges; her experience as a local councillor and the particular challenge of the housing crisis; the formation of Red Network and the political differences that led them to leave People Before Profit; and her position on the politics of class, identity politics, reform and revolution. You'll find more details of Red Network's politics on their website at rednetwork.net.

Discover the revolutionary approach that's transforming the towing industry as Megan Bruns, Marketing Director at Cardinal Legacy Towing Group, shares how putting people first has created an empire of 200+ vehicles and happy, committed employees.The cornerstone of their success? Treating tow operators as the first responders they truly are. While many towing companies struggle with employee retention and satisfaction, Cardinal Legacy has implemented concrete, effective strategies that benefit everyone. By virtually eliminating on-call shifts, they've removed one of the industry's most challenging aspects, allowing drivers to maintain healthy work-life balance and plan family activities without interruption.Every driver receives their own dedicated truck—a simple policy with profound effects on pride, maintenance, and operational efficiency.

When consolidating with other towing operations, they maintain original company identities while enhancing employee benefits, preserving both business value and human connections."Teamwork makes the dream work" isn't just a catchphrase here; it's evident in their comprehensive benefits package, recognition programs, and community involvement. As Megan explains, drivers who might resist routine midnight calls will "throw their cape on" for significant incidents—enthusiasm that speaks volumes about their pride and ownership in their work.The partnership between Cardinal Legacy and the American Towing Recovery Institute represents a shared vision for the industry's future: professional, people-centered, and progressive. For towing company owners seeking improved retention, operational excellence, and sustainable growth, this episode provides a masterclass in building an organization where both employees and customers thrive.Ready to transform your towing operation?

Independent candidate Catherine Connolly is now the only person in the race who has already received the 20 nominations from Oireachtas members needed to stand in the election, after securing the backing of left-leaning parties and TDs including the Social Democrats, People Before Profit, the Labour Party and a number of independents.

Charles Derber, a sociology professor at Boston College, talks with Steve about his book, 'Bonfire: American Sociocide, Broken Relations and the Quest for Democracy.' Steve suggests the book aligns with his own assessment that US sociocide (social disintegration) demands revolutionary change. Electoral politics are a distraction and a dead end.The conversation covers the need for a deeper understanding of a system that manufactures and perpetuates inequality. They discuss the historical continuity of fascism as the logical endpoint of capitalism. Indeed, Trump's presidency has exposed the latent fascist character of the US state, stripping away liberal democratic pretenses. Austerity measures and increased ICE (and police) funding serve to suppress resistance and criminalize poverty.Steve emphasizes the need for organizing alternative institutions, building dual power. Charles hopes his book will help connect personal experiences with broader systemic issues, advocating for a collective response to the socio-economic crisis and reinforcing the necessity of long-term, sustainable organizing outside traditional party politics.Charles Derber, Professor of Sociology at Boston College, is the author of twenty-eight books, including the Wilding of America, The. Pursuit of Attention, Sociopathic Society, Corporation Nation, People Before Profit, Dying for Capitalism, Greed to Green, Welcome to the Revolution, and Who Owns Democracy - translated into 14 languages. He is a public sociologist and life-long activist, who writes about structural and cultural analysis of capitalism, public goods, the environment, and social movements seeking transformational change. He is a life-long activist for peace and social justice.

As the race for the Presidency heats up, only two candidates have been nominated so far.They are Mairead McGuiness, nominated by Fine Gael, and Catherine Connolly, who has been nominated by the Social Democrats, People Before Profit, and 100% Redress, with other independent support.Catherine joins guest host Mandy Johnston to discuss her candidacy.

President Michael D Higgins's 14-year term is in its final months with an election to decide his predecessor set to take place before November 11th.After months when a changing list of potential candidates tended towards the fanciful – for a while it seemed that anyone with a public profile was in the frame – now two names have emerged as definite contenders: Independent TD Catherine Connolly and former MEP Mairead McGuinness.Connolly has secured the backing of the Social Democrats, People Before Profit and several Independent members, while McGuinness is the Fine Gael nominee.Going by previous presidential elections, it won't be a two-horse race but when will other candidates declare? And do the two women have early-mover advantage?Irish Times political correspondent Ellen Coyne explains.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by John Casey. Hosted on Acast.

2005 – Twenty Years OnNext Monday one of the most historic and transformative events in the Irish Peace Process took place. Twenty years ago on the 28 July 2005 the IRA issued a statement which ended its decades long armed struggle. In its statement the IRA said: "The leadership of Óglaigh na hÉireann has formally ordered an end to the armed campaign. This will take effect from 4pm this afternoon.  All IRA units have been ordered to dump arms. All Volunteers have been instructed to assist the development of purely political and democratic programmes through exclusively peaceful means. Volunteers must not engage in any other activities whatsoever.”The IRA leadership also said that it had authorised its representative to engage with the IICD (Independent International Commission on Decommissioning) to “complete the process to verifiably put its arms beyond use in a way which will further enhance public confidence.” This was confirmed two months later on the 26 September by the Commission.The IRA initiative opened up opportunities for progress.Peace processes are by their very nature challenging and difficult. They frequently fail. Many of the wars of the 1960s and 70's were a response to the colonial occupation and exploitation of native peoples by colonial powers.  Africa saw many examples of these. Some conflicts went on into the 1980s and 90s. Algeria, Kenya, Zimbabwe (then Rhodesia), Angola, Mozambique, and others, including in Asia the Vietnam War and in the Middle East the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. The South African peace process brought an end to apartheid and witnessed the election of Nelson Mandela as President of that country in 1994. In our own place our peace process brought an end to decades of conflict and heralded processes of change.Today, in a world still bedevilled by wars, the Irish Peace Process is frequently held up internationally as an example of a peace process that is working.  The governments occasionally try to root it in the Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985. But the truth is that it started in the 1970s when Republicans began to claim back the word ‘Peace.'A Welcome Electoral ChangeThe decision, announced last week by the British government, that it will be lowering the voting age to those aged 16 and 17, is a welcome move. There is already widespread support for a reduction in the voting age. Last September the Assembly backed a Sinn Féin motion calling for this change. In the South the policy has received widespread cross-party support from Sinn Féin, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, The Green Party, The Labour Party, Social Democrats, People Before Profit, and many Independents.The London government is focussed on the 2029 Westminster election but the North will have local government and Assembly elections in 2027. The focus now must be on ensuring that the necessary legislative steps are taken to ensure that 16 and 17 year olds can vote in those elections.Updating the electoral register and ensuring that this new tranche of young voters have suitable identification, will be a big job of work but with political will it can be done. It would also send entirely the wrong message to future voters if the 2027 deadline is missed.Legislating for young people to have the right to vote is the right thing to do. All parties in the North, with the exception of the DUP, support changing the voting rules. Young people should have the right to vote on decisions that impact on their lives, including voting for a united Ireland.Gaels le Cheile In Conversation with Peter CanavanMonday 28th July, 7:30pm - Naomh Eoin CLG Corrigan Park

Dublin councillor, Darragh Moriarty from Labour, and People Before Profit councillor, Conor Reddy debate likely changes to property tax rates in the capital.

The life-changing, life-saving, transformational nature of tax - for people and planet. Ireland's got a tax windfall of about €14 billion - that's roughly  $15 billion. What are they going to do with it..? "This is the kind of moment that doesn't come around often and we really need to seize it. Or if we let the opportunity slip through our fingers, it's going to have impacts for future generations." ~ Mansi Rawat, Social Justice Ireland We don't do enough about blue sky thinking on how tax can transform our lives. This is our chance to unlock our imaginations. It's also time for Ireland to rethink its tax haven model and for many countries, not just Ireland, to ask who its economy is serving.

We take a look back on the stories of the week on our Friday Forum. Joining Pat this morning in studio was Emer Higgins TD, Minister of State for Public Procurement, Digitalisation and eGovernment, Fine Gael, Dublin Mid West, Paul Murphy TD, People Before Profit, Dublin South West and also Jane Matthews, Political Correspondent, The Journal.

The Dáil had to be suspended yesterday as the row over speaking rights to independent TDs, who support the government but want designated time to question the coalition, rages on. Kerry TD Danny Healy-Rae is one of the independents who now qualify for this speaking time as it was passed in the Dáil yesterday. 0pposition parties say it’s wrong to allocate opposition speaking time to TDs who support the government. The new speaking time allocation will also allow backbench Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael deputies question the government. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald said this was stroke politics and would not allow the government to be held to account. The Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the opposition was completely disproportionate in their response over what he said was an additional eight minutes of speaking time on two days in the Dail. The image that went viral from yesterday’s chaos was Tipperary North TD Michael Lowry of the Rural Independent Group – who was at the heart of the deal that independents made with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael - giving a two-finger gesture to Paul Murphy of People Before Profit. Jerry spoke to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae and Fianna Fáil TD for Kerry, Michael Cahill. Jerry also spoke to Fionnán Sheehan, Ireland editor with the Irish Independent.

Jerry spoke to Cian Prendiville of People Before Profit, who ran for the party in Kerry in last November's general election, about the Irish Independent’s report that households could face charges for excessive water use this year.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh to look back on the week in politics: · Did Simon Harris put his foot in his mouth when he contradicted the US account of a phone call between him and Donald Trump's Secretary of State Marco Rubio? The comments added to jitters over the Taoiseach's visit to Trump's White House next week.· Security and Ireland's defence have roared onto the political agenda. Is our political system ready for the debate about how to respond?· This week left wing parties including Sinn Fein, Labour, Social Democrats, People Before Profit and Greens held talks to explore running a joint candidate in this year's presidential election. But will the idea fly? Plus, the panellists pick their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week, including Ireland's unintelligent intelligence services, the fight back against Ireland's Covid grade inflation and hope for Ireland at next year's Oscar winners. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Survivors of gender-based violence have put together a 10-point plan they want to see implemented. They want cases to be speeded up, and the end of character references for those charged with violent offences. People Before Profit is also proposing a private members motion in the Dail. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by sex abuse survivor, Louise Bailey, executive director of Rape Crisis Midwest, Siobhán O'Leary, and manager at Clare Haven, Siobhán O'Connor.

TICKETS HERE!Pat Leahy, Jennifer Bray and Cormac McQuinn join Hugh to discuss today on trail of the 2024 general election:It's the last day of campaigning and the leaders of the three largest parties have been communicating their final messages to the electorate:Mary Lou McDonald seemed at ease as she asked voters to give their second preferences to parties like the Social Democrats, People Before Profit and Labour.Together with his frequent wingman Paschal Donohoe, Simon Harris sounded the alarm for Ireland's economic and political stability and borrowed Sinn Féin's language of asking voters to 'lend' Fine Gael their support.Micheal Martin was asked again and insisted again that Fianna Fáil would not go into government with Sinn Féin.Pat, Jen, Cormac and Hugh discuss all that, and then pick their favourite, most pivotal and most consequential moments of the campaign.

There's one thing I see people often overlook, and it's something I personally struggled with—recognizing that your greatest asset is your team. One book that really resonated with me is People Over Profit, which emphasizes the importance of treating your people right. When you prioritize and invest in your team and focus on improving the customer experience, profit naturally follows. In that book, they argue that people should always come before profit, because when profit becomes the top priority over people, you're setting yourself up for turnover. And when your team starts to leave, it negatively impacts the customer experience. This leads to both employee and customer churn, which creates a vicious cycle that's hard to break.

Richard Boyd-Barrett, leader of People Before Profit-Solidarity, discusses his party's pledges to the electorate.

We're firmly into the second week of campaigning for the General Election. The Clare electorate will cast their votes on the 29th of November, when they will choose the four TDs to represent the county in the 34th Dáil. Let's get a flavour of what has been happening on the campaign trail. Both government parties and Sinn Féin were accused of insulting the electorate in last night's televised election debate. During the debate, Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil accused Sinn Féin of being unfit to govern - while the main opposition party highlighted the government's failure to address the housing crisis or spending overruns. The government's record on overspending came to the fore during last night's debate, along with the housing crisis, immigration, and climate. The government parties were also criticised for not passing the Occupied Territories Bill by People Before Profit's Richard Boyd Barrett and Ivana Bacik of Labour. Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman confirmed he would be willing to re-form a government with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. To discuss all of this and more, Alan Morrissey was joined in-studio by Fianna Fáil Candidate, Rita McInerney, Independent Ireland Candidate, Kevin Hassett, Irish Freedom Party Candidate, Michael Leahy, and Rabharta Candidate, Barry O'Donovon.

Hugh Linehan is joined by Jennifer Bray and Pat Leahy to discuss Wednesday on the campaign trail:Independent candidates are “wolves in sheep's clothing”, warned People Before Profit at a campaign event today. What does that mean, and why are the small parties so worried about the impact of this rag-tag category of opponent on election day?The Nitrates Derogation is something that matters hugely to rural Ireland, so in election week you don't want to wade into controversy over whether it should be retained, as Fianna Fáil's Chris Andrews discovered today.Plus: An element of Pat's analysis of the Dublin European election came in for sharp criticism from Social Democrats candidate Sinéad Gibney when she was asked about it by RTE's Sarah McInerney during a televised debate.
