"Israel has made it clear that these bonds are used to fund its war in Gaza. Sinn Féin's legal advice stated a Member State is entitled to unilaterally restrict access to its financial services. rooted in Ireland's fundamental interest in pursuing its international law obligations"

"In order for Israel to sell war bonds in the EU, a member state central bank needs to approve the pros­pectus. That’s us. We are the home country that approves bonds funding the continuing devastation in Palestine" Gov must back Sinn Féin's Israeli war bonds Bill m.independent.ie/opinion/naoi...

Ireland is being made complicit in funding genocide. Irish Central Bank gives Israel the permission it needs to sell war bonds across the EU. No other central. Sinn Féin legislation - Israeli War bonds Bill - will pull the plug on these war bonds. Government must back this bill #speirghorm

👏🏼 This moment is for Cara, fair play to her and her father, Mark. Taking a stand for the thousands of children left behind by FF-FG who must step up and deliver on the rights of children and their families.

🇵🇸 The Irish government must stop allowing Ireland to be used to fund Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Mary Lou McDonald and I are introducing a Bill that will force the government to end the sale of Israeli war bonds through the Irish Central Bank. #SpéirGhorm #speirgorm #gaza

Taoiseach is refusing to answer a simple question: Did Jack Chambers make him aware of the Department of Finance's assessment that ruled out any hope of reaching 40,000 houses before the election campaign?

Yesterday we lost a great Republican whose commitment to Irish unity, peace and social justice was unwavering. I always enjoyed his company, craic agus ceol. His loss will be felt by all who had the privilege to know him. Farewell Bik. 💔

GOVERNMENT spending on spin doctors could break the €10m barrier as newly appointed ministers staff up with well-paid advisers. ##HowIrelandWorks

Art Council €6.7m scandal leaves many questions to answer. This government are serial wasters who are allergic to accountability. We need to know who knew what when. And, we need to know if this was intentionally buried until after the election. #SpéirGhorm

The Taoiseach has been caught out! Today, Mary Lou McDonald was standing up for renters when he accused her of lying. Then when when called out, he denied that he said it and refused to withdraw the remark. It’s disgraceful stuff! #SpéirGhorm

Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael have decided to throw renters to the wolves and take the side of the vulture funds. Renters right across the country are already being fleeced, they simply cannot afford further rent hikes. We will continue to fight the Government on this. #SpéirGhorm

We need to end the sweetheart deals and finally tax real estate investment funds Instead, the Taoiseach is boosting their share price talking about scraping rent pressure zones Sacrificing renters to investment funds will not solve the housing crisis #SpéirGorm www.irishtimes.com/business/202...
