Cian Prendiville is a former member of Limerick City Council and an inactive politician for the last five years. He is known for his involvement in the anti-water charges movement. He currently works as chief editor at Rupture Magazine and is a producer at Rupture Radio, an eco-socialist network in the People Before Profit movement.

We need to stop EU taxpayers money going to funding Israel's genocidal war crimes against the people of Gaza. Instead that money should be spent on housing and healthcare. One third of the weapons going to Israel come from the EU, and we are their biggest trading partner. That means an embargo on arms sales, and economic sanctions could have a major impact in forcing Israel to stop the war.

The Left

If you are happy with how things are going, then I am not the candidate for you. However, if you are fed-up of the rigged economy, where a tiny corporate elite are getting all the wealth, while our health and housing systems are in ruins - then a first-preference vote for me sends the strongest message.

As a MEP, I will be a voice for workers, a whistleblower and an organiser. As a councillor, I help build the water charges revolt - as a MEP, I want to help build a revolt on housing, healthcare and for Ireland's first ever left government, to really implement ecosocialist change.
