Every Irish politician should be pressed to comment on this - make them show where they stand. Are they opposed to abuse of minorities? Or are they like Ahern, thinking the real victims are people who are called out on racist comments? Don't let it just pass #spéirghorm #justiceforYvesSakila

This is the 2nd time in under 12 months that Dublin City Councillor Philip Suttcliffe (and close associate of Conor McGregor) has "accidentally" posted something that is inarguably or explicitly entho nationalist, anti-Semitic or fascist to his social media.

Long-form analysis of the polls for the Dublin Central & Galway West by-elections. Looking at what the numbers mean for each of the parties & candidates, a deeper look at how transfers can influence the outcome of both, plus what we can or cannot expect to happen based on these numbers.

Sutcliffe said he posted the video by accident. He offered a similar excuse last year after posting a picture of a ballot paper defaced with hate speech. Today he declined to comment further, saying he had to "go train Conor McGregor" for his next fight" www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

Especially the ones that turn up for Terence Wheelock (RIP) demonstrations

Ireland didn't just abolish the death penalty, we passed a constitutional ban on ever reintroducing it under any circumstances. it's one of the greatest things we've ever done at the ballot box. death is always, and can only be, an unjust punishment. we must never compromise on that, ever

“About 26% of parents who participated in the survey admitted to allowing their children to bypass age checks, with 17% who said they actively helped their kids.” www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2...

Great to see ABC news doing this - that's Rebel News panicking because if everyone does it they no longer have a business model @news.abc.net.au

shame on the Mirror for posting this with comments open

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

Okay one more

Instead of posting anti-immigrant hate for clicks, we report on the lives of people who've come from all over the world to live here, and the reality of the immigration system they navigate – as well as the struggles of existing communities that've long suffered from neglect and under-investment. 4/

It’s easy to believe these people are just stupid, but it’s not that simple. It’s more like a religious belief, where they will accept any statement that aligns with their beliefs, and the more you try and convince them otherwise, the more they believe you’re part of the conspiracy.

A Dublin #painting. One day when waiting for my Dad in the Mater Hospital I sheltered under the portico of the old entrance on Eccles St, sat on the base of a column, and sketched the view across the Four Masters Park to Berkeley Road and Sarsfield Street. #Art #SpéirGhorm #ArtYear #UrbanSketching

this is far from Nick's first time defaming someone, but as far as I know it's the first time it's made the news. he previously made a bunch of false claims about Tipp Labour councillor Chicken Brennan, hid my reply pointing out all the lies, then quietly deleted the thread later

Dublin byelection contender Daniel Ennis threatens legal action over ‘malicious’ X posts

One of the big post-repeal projects of this lot has been an attempt to see to it that women in a crisis pregnancy are forced to set out their reasons for seeking abortion in writing first. Why? Because they think they're meant to be the ones deciding.

If he'd dumped several farm vehicles there and racially abused women feeding the homeless instead of wedging a poster in the railings, the State might have given him a pile of cash.

DCC should also consider how much wheelie bin keeping is crazy making business before banning bags cause why did I just find two of my bin locks broken and said SABOTAGE in my head 😭

asking for an edit button is disgraceful behavior. have some self respect. ooh i need my posts to be perfect and i can't delete because i already got a like!!! i need that like! grow up. figure out if the fav is more important to you than the typo. sometimes we gotta make choices in this life

Announcement! I have a new YA Horror coming out with @littleislandbooks.bsky.social! It's out this August!

Absolutely incredible headline.

Protect the ECHR. Protect Peace. We’ve added our name to a joint letter calling on UK & Irish Governments to publicly reaffirm their commitment to the ECHR at the next Council of Europe meeting, and resist any moves that would weaken its protections. www.flac.ie/.../groups-n...

Bertie Ahearn's comments are not representative of our party, but also check this out

I've been reporting on this issue for a long while, putting FOI after FOI request. Does this piece credit all that reporting once? Nah. ofc everything these guys do is original. Sigh.

Nick Del pretending not to know how company services firms work so he can contrive a link between Daniel Ennis and firms with IPAS contracts my brother in Christ, you do a podcast with one of Peter Thiel's least loved hand puppets, it is not in your interest to push guilt by association

Can someone please explain to the *Minister for Justice* who the Refugee Convention was designed to protect? Hint, it is not (primarily) people “fleeing war”.

I realised this when I got this in the mailbox the other day and was especially suprised with the drop the toll on M50 talking point given he describes himself as an "environmentalist" lol

LOVED this book, and it was so real for this

How many hundreds of thousands of Africans does a man have to kill by yanking foreign aid to get called racist around here?

my favorite genre of international dialogue

interesting rationale from a prospective juror in the Elon Musk Twitter stock manipulation case

In response to criticism over the Iranian regimes killing of thousands of protesters early this year, Iran's ambassador-designate in Ireland compared it to Gardaí's response to anti-immigration protests in Dublin in October 2025. (!?)

Make wearing, buying, or selling these things an offence. Just do it. There’s no social value to them whatsoever, only harm.

My second favourite thing in this life: going to bed with a new book. First one is actually sleeping, obvs

A fantastic film out this Friday. Read my review if you have the time.

Oh hello

absurd and disgusting. the guards should be ashamed.

Gardaí press charges against a man for a poster on the gates of Iranian embassy. Morteza Najafi wedged the anti-Khamenei poster by the railings during a peaceful protest in Blackrock, late last month. Read more here www.dublininquirer.com/gardai-press...
