If it is a condition of your employment that you remain a member then you cannot leave.

See: http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employment/employment_rights_and_conditions/industrial_relations_and_trade_unions/trade_unions.html

As an alternative, how engaged are you in your union's activities? Do you attend meetings? Would you consider getting involved to make a difference yourself?
