And you'd be right there with them, right Michael?

With 5 minutes, Paul Murphy dismantles the government and John Clendennen's attack on migrants and asylum seekers with the accurate statistics that contradict the Tánaiste and call into question the true nature of this repeated plea for a debate - even when granted a platform on national television

The Irish government is deliberately not engaging the general population on the issues of neutrality and the triple lock because they know how deeply people value our neutrality and are highly likely to veto any attempts to change that.

calling all queer and trans people who were involved in the catherine connolly campaign: would you like to speak to me for an article i am writing? (i would love to get as many different perspectives as possible)

“We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves.”

It really is that easy tomorrow #Aras25 #ConnollyforPresident

Humphreys doing poorly here out of the gates on #TheBigInterview #Áras25

Fascinating #Áras25

Press release: Decriminalisation of sex work bill launched by TD Ruth Coppinger The bill was co-created by Red Umbrella Éireann, the Sex Workers Alliance Ireland and the Street Workers Collective.

Catherine Connolly on the streets of Galway today. People Before Profit members in Galway have enthusiastically supported Catherine's campaign for the Presidency and are honoured to be able help build the movement locally with so many other lovely people.

It isn't a ceasefire if it's solely on one occupation forces terms

In Oct 2020, ­socially distanced & in the Oireachtas’s temporary pandemic home, TDs voted to seal the records of survivors of state and church abuse for 30 years. Heather Humphries voted with the Government. Catherine Connolly voted against. www.independent.ie/opinion/jenn...

Gosh, this is bottom of the barrel stuff from Fine Gael! Embarrassing #Áras25 #spéirgorm

It is interesting that he chose to harrass Connolly, who has never been in government, rather than Humphries, who was a cabinet minister when the Gender Recognition Act was passed. It's almost like it's not really about what he says it's about, isn't it?

A ringing endorsement! #Áras25

If you can, and while you can, please get out and donate blood! Takes about 90 mins in and out, 5-10 mins for your donation, you get free tea/coffee and biscuits after, and you're potentially saving someone's life. #spéirgorm

Let's explore the Green credentials of Heather Humphreys - The woman former GP member Brian Leddin thinks should be president. She advocated for an increased burn period during her time as Minister for Heritage, as well as prolonging the period during which hedgerows could be cut. #Spéirgorm 1/n

A very normal country...

Lucia O’Farrell said Humphreys “did nothing” to support her family’s fight for justice and answers. #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/shane-ofarre...

Wow, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael really do not want to lose to a coalition of centre-left and left parties rallying behind an independent, do they? www.thejournal.ie/micheal-mart... #spéirgorm #Áras25 #connollyforpresident

So bloody useless

What hope is there for prospective homeowners when this is the reality faced by us? Homes consistently going for above asking prices. Investment firms and vulture funds purchasing lots of new builds. No political will to address the situation. #spéirgorm www.thejournal.ie/myhomes-ie-n...

Have you tried opening your eyes?

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

People dislike Greta Thunberg because of jealousy and misogyny. That’s it. They can’t handle a young woman with that level of courage and conviction.

Well, do I feel vindicated almost immediately now! #Áras25 #ConnollyForPresident #spéirgorm www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

One thing that has been on my mind since Gavin was announced as the Fianna Fáil candidate: Is this really the best candidate that Fianna Fáil had to put forward? If so, it showcases the lack of depth of the current FF political apparatus If not, it showcases a woeful strategic blunder internally

Not a single Greta hater could do what she has done, face what she's faced, bear abuse and humiliation at the hands of the most psychotic and genocidal army. They haven't an ounce of her bravery and that's what drives them crazy. Free Greta, free Palestine🇵🇸

It would be interesting to see what groceries, cleaning supplies, and other household bits would cost without the profit incentive of multinational supermarkets. Why not try it? See what people think.

Engagement bait lol

The absolute lack of spine from our Taoiseach. Dozens of people, including a few Irish people, are peacefully approaching Gaza. They should not be threatened by the Israeli military and our government should be providing aid to protect our citizens on a humanitarian mission.

Heather Humphries saying 'what difference would it make?' in relation to the Occupied Territories Bill? She said the quiet part out loud! We all know this is the government's position on the OTB, but it's wild to hear them saying it out loud! #tonightvmtv #aras25

Palestinians deserve better than speaking up more - fuck me #TonightVMTV #Áras25

Of course Jim Gavin and Heather Humphries will back increased punishment for crime rather than sincere investment in communities to actually reduce the reasons people go on to commit crimes. Absolutely no imagination to try things they haven't tried before. #TonightVMTV #Áras25

The actual gall of this lad is unbelievable

So many words, so little action. I will forever remember, until the day I die, how unwilling, cautious, and defensive those in government were when they were called on to help prevent the genocide of Palestine.

Genuinely fucking bonkers behavior, especially considering he didn't tweet about Melissa Hortman and her husband being assassinated in June.

Genuinely one of the most evil things I’ve ever read, and these dudes are American citizens who went to Gaza for the chance and joy of killing www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Adopted Emi two weeks ago from Cara Rescue Dogs. Safe to say she's selling in well and we are delighted to give her her forever home. #adoptdontshop #lurcher

“But they came here illegally” ON GOD i don’t care

The left wants - everyone to be housed - everyone to earn enough money to support their lives - everyone to have equal rights and protections -wealthy people to pay more tax for the good of society Left-right divisiveness cannot be overcome because the right are inherently opposed to these things!

Gearing up to leave Berlin on our overnight train to Amsterdam.

Munich was fun, though a few things were closed/inaccessible due to maintenance or other works. Last day in Berlin tomorrow before off to Amsterdam for the last leg of our holiday.

I will not vote for any party that doesn’t firmly and unequivocally commit to building universal social housing by a state agency. If your party’s housing plan involves tinkering around the edges of planning/incentives/regulations or relies on developers or “the market”, you won’t get a vote from me

More pathetic "action" from Ireland. The Irish State is complicit in genocide by facilitating Israel.

Enjoying Vienna with my bestie Thinking it might be the (second) last flight I take Off to Munich tomorrow, more pics to come

Millions of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I am willing to make...

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

The mobile home we currently live in is smaller than these new recommendations for one-bed apartments. Anyone who thinks that is a liveable space long term needs their heads examined!
