As a TD, Ruth Coppinger was a leader in national movements on Repeal/abortion rights, and against water charges.
Despite narrowly missing out in the 2020 General Election, Ruth continued campaigning in the interests of working people on:

Palestine; anti-racism; affordable housing; justice for carers and for autistic and disabled people; against gender based violence and misogyny in the courts; expansion of the Blanchardstown refuge and for ‘safe houses’ in Fingal; workers’ rights including Debenhams, health and community workers; justice for survivors of institutional abuse; for a fully public and fully secular national maternity hospital and schools & more.

Budget 2025 – People Need Real Change, Not Spare Change

 

"The Budget’s once-off payments will soon be spent, but the chaos of our investment-starved health, education, childcare and transport systems remains. Still no affordable homes to rent or buy and countless carers and disabled people will continue to live in poverty. 

Young people are being forced to Australia because of the government’s insistence that corporate profits come before people’s needs. Two billionaires now have as much wealth as the bottom 50% combined. Corporations rake in 300 billion in profits each year. 

Children with additional needs in Dublin West sit on seven-year waiting lists for assessment and therapies – so much for having a Taoiseach and two Ministers!’’

- Ruth Coppinger

 

Hold them to account and elect a voice for workers, women, LGBTQ and young people and all those facing oppression and discrimination. Put Ruth Coppinger back in the Dáil.

 

 

Elect a campaigner against gender-based violence

A lifelong feminist and socialist campaigner, Ruth uses every means at her disposal to highlight the issue of violence against women and actively build a movement to end it. Read Ruth's 10 point programme on Gender Based Violence here.
We need her in the Dáil more than ever:

  • Women’s Aid received a record 40,048 disclosures in 2023 of
    violence by (mostly) men known to the survivors – not at the hands
    of immigrant strangers, as is claimed by far-right liars who are
    demonising refugees and black and brown men.

  • Over 100 women have been murdered in femicides since 2012,
    usually by a male partner or former partner.
