I see the rehabilitate Tubridy media fest is on again today. We don't want him; he's done.

So that means Starmer will go in May, presumably.

Even if the majority of Irish people want this and by all accounts that is the case; he's clearly more interested in satisfying the military and arms lobby.

Use of Shannon Airport to deport Palestinians from US ‘reprehensible’ www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...

Taoiseach receives formal invitation from Donald Trump to visit the White House in March jrnl.ie/6949790 Now why would The Journal turn off comments on such an innocuous story? Surely they would want Irish people to celebrate the Taoiseach meeting a racist, fascist and star of the Epstein files.

Legends!! Thanks all for signing. Just 203 more signatures to go from Irish citizens, and we'll have passed the Ireland threshold, and become 1 of 7 legendary countries to get this past the post C'MON!!!! Let's get it done. 📝🇵🇸 #SpeirGhorm #SpeirGorm #IrishSky #Ireland

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... This is as good as a death sentence for these deportees; which the Irish government have kindly assisted with by allowing the aircraft to refuel in Shannon airport.

I'm almost certain that without a hint of self-awareness someone's going to have a dig at Met Éireann overhyping the weather alert today.

This is whom our Taoiseach wants to meet in the White House next month...

This game is going about as well as the weather for Ireland today. #FraVIre

Not sure who in Dublin needs to know this but the Dart has been suspended due to the weather today.

Minister under pressure on scramblers as new regulations to be called 'Grace's Law' jrnl.ie/6946302 I'm sure scrambler riders everywhere are quaking in their balaclavas.

www.bbc.com/news/article... He didn't say anything remotely like this when Israel did it. In fact, he said that they had the right to do so.

Helmets and hi-vis clothing to be made mandatory for e-bikes and e-scooter users jrnl.ie/6945841 The day I see an 8-year-old child being stopped for riding an e-scooter is the day this will happen; i.e. never.

No matter what is in the Epstein files about the tangerine tyrant (and it sounds particularly revolting), Micheal Martin will still insist on going to the White House. That's how much this government actually care about children.

Hard to wrestle with the fact that the world really IS run by a shadowy cabal of paedophiles. It's like the Loch Ness monster strolled out of the water and held a press conference.

Simon Harris says he wants to put an age restriction on social media use jrnl.ie/6943843 The government that won't stop posting from a website that permits CSAM suddenly cares about children again; I don't think that's very believable.

Man who smothered, choked and set wife on fire given five-year sentence jrnl.ie/6942947 This is a horrifying story.... and the meagre sentence provided for it is equally appalling.

Justice minister Jim O’Callaghan’s department has embarrassingly included three long-rescinded laws in its “anti-democratic and authoritarian” new Civil Reform Bill. The Department of Justice told The Ditch the errors will be “amended”. www.ontheditch.com/jim-ocallagh...

Is Starmer's Foreign Office shielding David Cameron? - https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/starmers-foreign-office-shielding-david-cameron

Sign! For ECIs to be considered by the European Commission, each country must meet its threshold, for Ireland that's 10,080. We are currently at just under 6,000, approx 58%, so we need a big push! Belgium, Finland, France and Spain are there, let's get there too! eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

But no sanctions by the EU against Israel for murdering tens (and likely hundreds) of thousands of innocent people over a 2 and a half year period.

Just received a notice from Apple saying that it has found X to be in breach of the App Store rules due to its nudification functions.

Claiming antisemitism is a serious problem in Ireland, Martin and Harris cited an organisation accused of major factual distortions – and whose vice president, an ex-IDF general, had to cancel a trip to South Africa for fear of a war crimes arrest. www.ontheditch.com/martin-and-h...

See, other countries can easily imprison people for corruption; Ireland has yet to prosecute anyone for the findings of the 2011 #Moriarty report.

Ireland invited to G20 leaders summit at Trump's golf resort in Miami jrnl.ie/6940313 Which is only going to make the likelihood of the Occupied Territories Bill being passed even more remote...

Irish Politicians Vs Irish Policy Experts

Would they not say the same about the US?

They saw what was happening in the US and said "Yes please, we'd like some of that here".

Teenage girl hospitalised with serious injuries after being hit by scrambler bike in Dublin jrnl.ie/6938053 This is awful to read. I really wish the Gardaí would deal with these clowns on scrambler bikes because they drive so dangerously.

No way we let Sweden get over the line on this ahead of Ireland. Tell your friends. This isn’t just any old petition, this mechanism has EU clout.

If evil is not confronted and stopped, it only becomes more evil....

The choice of words here in this headline is something else; this was murder, plain and simple. Using these words in the headline seems to lend some level of legitimacy to the unwarranted, unnecessary and unlawful actions.

This is who the Irish government is - jackboot-licking lackeys to a man.

I'm sure the EU will be as quick to condemn this as they were to condemn the same behaviour in Iran.

McEntee 'appalled' after Israel bulldozes UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem jrnl.ie/6936943 Despite her words, I still haven't seen her or any other government TD turn up to any marches for Palestine over the last 2 plus years.... and I've been to a few at this stage.

Even in the wind and rain, the good people of Dublin turn up to protest against the genocidal regime.

The only Bank I know that supports Palestinian people in Dame Street.

Irish and EU leaders wring their hands about the erosion of international law and multilateralism but they have done less than nothing to stop US-backed Israel demolishing the UN system 'brick by brick'. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260123-un-...

Great letter in today's Irish Times. Our government is part of the culture of impunity that has enabled apartheid Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people, enough. #OccupiedTerritoriesBill #SanctionsNow

McEntee 'appalled' after Israel bulldozes UNRWA headquarters in Jerusalem jrnl.ie/6936943 But not so appalled that she'll commit to enacting the Occupied Territories Bill.

This is an *exceptional* piece of work, and ought to be borne in mind when looking at literally any online ragebait in future. A TikTok account that professed to be highlighting how 'illegal immigrants get free housing in London' was… well, not that at all. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

The phrase "The US says" is no longer credible journalism and should be treated with severe scepticism.

I think we can live without being in "this" World Cup.

Yeah, when I see a Garda stop a 7 year old on an electric scooter I'll believe this will happen.

Former Canadian Olympic snowboarder-turned-drug kingpin arrested in Mexico jrnl.ie/6936797 So a country, the US, that allegedly doesn't believe in international law, thinks it's alright to arrest someone in another jurisdiction, and then bring them to the US to face trial...

But don't worry, Ireland's energy sector will still manage to increase your electric bills every year.

A damning report. In a long line of damning reports about Israel's actions in Gaza and the West Bank. And yet multiple Labour MPs remain committed members of Labour Friends of Israel. Shame on them... www.declassifieduk.org/israel-pays-...

Imagine Russia did this, it would make headlines everywhere. But because it's Israel, has the EU said anything about this atrocity? No, not one word. In fact, they'll still ensure that the EU-ISRAEL trade agreement remains in place without any hindrance and zero sanctions.

Report #1 on the impacts of non-consensual deepfake image abuse. Sonia suffered years of panic attacks and needed counselling after photos, some dating from when she was a teenager, were edited & uploaded on an explicit site with her personal info. She's come forward because of the Grok scandal.
