People like Quinn and his Iona brethren love to push the 'silent majority' myth. No, the vast majority do not want a hardline Catholic for president, we do not hate immigrants and we most definitely do not support a genocidal apartheid state.

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Just so people realise who was behind the 'spoil your vote' campaign... This article appeared in Gript, which is owned by multi-millionaire Declan Ganley, who was given ample air time on our national broadcaster prior to the presidential election to spout his grievances about the candidates.

So there you have it..... the Burkes are controlled opposition, promoting a vote for Heather Humphries and doing what the far right always does.... taking away votes from the left to keep the establishment in power.

Peace Camp at Shannon Airport this morning as 22 Irish citizens are held hostage in the notorious Ketziot prison in Isreal, after being illegally taken in international waters. Not a peep out of our spineless Government. They are too busy on their knees in front of Donald Trump.

Brave flotilla activists have been taken hostage by Israel. The illegal interceptions on International waters are yet another war crime to add to genocide, starvation and ethnic cleansing. Call your politicians.

In February 2019, finance minister Paschal Donohoe had a secret "confidential call" with his Israeli counterpart to assure him the government would "block" the Occupied Territories Bill. The AIPAC sessions took place just one month after Donohoe made the call.

There are lots of environmental battles going on in Clare right now. The proposed data centre for Ennis is one, but one that is less likely to grab the headlines is the proposed 'development' of Ennis Post Office field, our little island of biodiversity in the town.

Why does this anti-trans agitator want his book nominated for a prize that (until now) celebrated the T in LGBTQ+? Accountability is not bullying. Other authors are more than entitled to withdraw their work from something that doesn't align with their values.

Please sign the petition to let the kids from Palestine come to Ireland to play GAA. The last minute refusal of visas is a vile cheap shot by the government. Clare organisers and host families have been planning and organising for months and are furious and devastated.

More far right hypocrisy. This is the same Scott Delaney who claims that immigrants are causing crime in Ireland. Once, the biggest ecstasy dealer in Dublin, Scott has asked his druglord friends to get involved in the National Party and led the protests at Crown Paints (which went up in flames). 🔥🔥🔥

'I urge the parties to return to talks to ensure an immediate ceasefire', says Simon Harris in a press release today about the successful evacuation of sick children from Gaza. IS HE FOR REAL???? How can he STILL be both sidesing this genocide when Israel's intent has been declared and made clear.

Micheál Martin obviously felt he had to prove his support to the Zionists he met in the USA. This barbarity in addition to effectively dropping the OTB and adopting the IHRA definition of anti-semitism proves the current government's support of genocide. SHAME ON THEM ALL

Great to see the creche creeper get a conviction. He was one of the spreaders of hate-based fear mongering about the residents of Magowna House which resulted in a deeply disturbing bullying and intimidation campaign that shamed the County.
