"Deportations are not managing migration. What is managing migration is planning and thinking about how migrants will need access to housing or hospital, or education for their children" 👏👏👏

Officially became homeowners today!

something I would genuinely love to hear an advocate of the three-day waiting period for abortions asked to explain is why it's three days as opposed to one day, two days, four days, or a week for that matter

We will continue to break these records as long as our global emissions continue to rise. It's concerning that this has happened as El Nino continues to gather momentum and looks likely to be an extraordinary event. Who knows what temperature records we could break by the end of the century.

I find it interesting the no-smoking and no-vaping signs outside the hospital and maternity outpatients, and how they are rightly policed, yet there are no measures in place to prevent cars idling, nor does there seem to be the same care or desire to prevent those.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Join the Irish Army today to proudly serve your country by protecting American warplanes from paint and hammers. Is it any wonder those recruitment ads aren't working?

I cannot for the life of understand why pay in RTE is dubbed a national scandal while man chocked to death outside Arnotts in broad daylight isn’t.

More and more weasel words from our Taoiseach. Aside from recognising the Palestinian state, what has Ireland done to punish Israel for their genocidal actions? Occupied Territories Bill remains held up, sanctions against Israel don't exist, and still Palestinians continue to die in their 1000s.

Looking forward to hearing from the Taoiseach tomorrow how this "cherry picked" fact is actually a good thing and people need to stop complaining

I really wish the press would stop leading with the alleged shoplifting. it's not just ugly framing, it's also eliding the facts. he died after he was detained and restrained by security guards. not allegedly detained and restrained, definitely detained and restrained

Complaining about asylum seekers while our government is contributing to the reasons people need to seek asylum... Stop letting war planes use our airports. Don't let members of the IDF play sports here. Stop contributing so much to climate change. Stop cosying up to Donald Trump. I could go on

Absolutely incredible headline.

'Sorry if anyone was offended' => I meant what I said but wish less people were so up in arms about it. Rotten racist and/or xenophobic to the core. There was no mistake made when he was speaking and I'm glad his unfettered views were caught on film.

Sinn Féin continues to ensure I never vote for them ever again. They are increasingly conservative, regressive populists with no clear ideology or recognition of the issues affecting working class people. It is disgusting that they continue to wish to dilute women's rights and bodily autonomy.

I'm going to start calling all multi story car parks 'car sheds'

Could it be done cheaper? Maybe with a state construction company or a not-for-profit, but I can't see this kind of bespoke facility coming in much under 100k even in those situations. This is a nice, safe facility, useful for staff, patients and visitors who don't want to drive to the hospital

PBP needs to do some self-reflection on completely failing to capitalise on the fuel protests and remaining critically stagnant in the polls whilst the cost of living crisis has continued.

It is kind of weird that this story has been rumbling on in our next door neighbour for over a week now, but, no Irish journalist or media outlet has considered asking similar questions about the bar in Dáil Éireann and the drinking culture among Irish Parliamentarians…

Always makes me proud to see our government really standing up for consumers 🥰

I don't want a tax cut - I want us to fund public services!

Myself and Emi enjoying 12 O'Clock Hill at the weekend ❤️ #spéirgorm

Have a very old petrol car and see FFFG are all talk about a decent scrappage scheme if you go for a new electric. All talk though. Anyone have any inside knowledge? #speirgorm

Mary Lou couldn't care less about how the "lads" treated the Muslim Sisters of Eire that week obviously. Directly threatening women doesn't fit into the convenient narrative she wants to create to win votes, so lets just forget about those women's experiences hey @sinn-fein.bsky.social

Did Mary-Lou talk to the Muslim Sister's of Éire about how safe they felt when the protestors on O'Connell St attacked them, and it was the homeless people that stepped in to protect them and not the lads with their tractors? #IrishPol #Speirgorm

We seem more outraged at the destruction of a building than the deaths of thousands of Palestinian people. What good will rebuilding this school be in the West Bank when there are no children to attend it? Or those children will never be safe to do so, whilst Israel continues their genocide?

Been a long time coming, but after ~4 years living with my in-laws, myself and Laura have gone sale agreed on a house! All going smoothly so far, let's hope it stays that way 🎉

I'm hopeful that Hannah and her family will find respite in having her at home while she continues her recovery ❤️

Some might call this a chilling, and despicable, effort to undermine media freedom in this country...

Blood donation #10 today - got a lovely pin to go with it.

US military out of Shannon! Ireland facilitates their imperialist aims of the US with this arrangement. Direct action like this is incredibly brave from whoever acted today.

Not to incite a panic but I'm starting to get texts that Gort town has run out of diesel... #spéirgorm

This will surely help fuel prices for eveyone #spéirgorm

Robocop (now Dr. Donal Corcoran) became the Gardaí's ethics advisor www.thesun.ie/news/3123943...

Private health insurance providers are just another inefficiency in the healthcare system. We do not need them to provide healthcare. They don't provide healthcare anyways. They serve as a middle management money sponge offering less to patients each year whilst skimming more off the top.

A protestor who blocked the port protesting the genocide in Gaza had his wrist broken when thrown to the ground by Gardaí. I've been shoved and threatened for daring to get close to shutting down the access road to Shannon Airport. It's amazing how different the Gardaí's response is here...

- 17,000 officially homeless, likely up to 35,000; precluded from focus on work, education - Effects of underinvested housing, health and infrastructure also eating up disposable income, consumer confidence - Austerity, corporate welfare funnelling wealth upwards - at scale #spéirghorm #ireland

I've checked my Irish Media Protest Manual and it says that if you trap people in their cars over a period of time then you are falsely imprisoning them and you should be charged and sent to prison

We do not "need" landlords. What we need is adequate social and affordable housing builds for people to live in secure environments. Landlords are just an inefficiency! An extra step/person/siphon in the provision of a home for people. Appealing to the FG base but indicative of their disconnect.

This is absolute madness. No. We need less private landlords, ideally none. It doesn't matter how you slice it, once-off pension, multi-property business, investment funds. None. Housing should be a right, a public need, not an investment opportunity. FG/FF are the reason we are in this mess.

Hi there, Your AI flyer looks like shit

Laura and I have just been mortgage approved! Fit to burst, it's nice to have some positive news for a change

This is what greyhounds actually want to get up to!

I wish these two would leave us all alone and I wish our newspapers would stop acting as their royal stenographers

But, I thought the government said this wouldn't happen??

Is it appropriate for military aircraft involved in a war to use neutral Ireland’s airspace? Got into it with the Taoiseach about overflights ahead of his White House meeting with Donald Trump. @virginmedianews.bsky.social

As if our livelihoods haven't already been directly affected by the US and its imperialist actions! Heating and fuel bills have literally jumped up in the past weeks due to the reckless, illegal actions of a fascist. Why must we keep treating the US with kid gloves?

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

This is what real anti-social behaviour looks like
