It’s giving “Young females are spurning marriage and capitalism— society as we know it is at risk”! from the Daily Telegraph last week.!

How is Malcolm Byrne FF TD allowed comment on violence against women & children and character references - when he assaulted a woman himself and paid no price. Shocking choice by @tonightvmtv.bsky.social. Also disappointing to have nobody on panel arguing against references in GBV trials.

Correction - Caitriona Perry works now for BBC. She was giving an interview on RTE radio.

RTE’s Caitriona Perry reporting from the White House Correspondents dinner about the alleged assassination attempt on Trump. Sorry but it’s disgusting that journalists would wine & dine at this event during a genocide & while journalists are being massacred in Gaza & Lebanon

Sinn Féin Ard Fheis has voted to ban 🦊fox hunting! This is a massive step on the road to a full ban on this cruelty. A vote to ban in the north is pending. That pressures for change in the south. We can now work on switching FFFG TDs. Well done to all who worked on this since my Bill in December.

If you had doubts about who Independent Ireland are and some of the fuel protest leaders - well they’re showing us. Protesters and those whose livelihoods are at stake should have nothing to do with the far right or bigotry. #fuelprotests

Well done to the people of Hungary! Trump, Putin, Vance & far right leaders throughout Europe couldn’t stop the popular movement to defeat racist, homophobe, fascist #Orban. Huge blow to the far right ✊

The idea that you must be in a ‘representative group’ to go on a protest or talk to the govt is absurd. There isn’t a legal right to union representation for example. The govt can’t be let set such a precedent. Trade unions should learn from #fuelprotests & call national action on cost of living.

What should we call this 🤔 🔗 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

At the People Before Profit-Solidarity conference today. Meeting against backdrop of war, colonialism & profiteering causing a cost of living crisis. We need people to step into history & stop the billionaires destroying the planet & our lives.

Establishment Irish media congratulating Micheál Martin for jumping to the defence of Keir Starmer in the presence of Trump….

Shameful & cringey how a leader of a neutral country (on its national holiday) had to sit thru a press event dominated by an imperialist attack, without once mentioning lives lost or illegality. In fact Micheál Martin gave effective approval, saying Iran was a rogue state with nuclear weapons.

Look up the Micheál Martin interview on Fox News. Mentions ‘concerns’, the economy - not a word about lives of schoolgirls or anyone else in Iran. It really will be a shameful day in the history books meeting a sexual predator, genocider, racist & warmonger on #StPatricksDay

As the racist rapist Trump presides over apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians, the disgusting Board of Peace and the destruction of Lebanon and Iran, it is utterly shameful that Micheál Martin would shake the hand of this war criminal. Not in our name. #FreePalestine

Thousands marched in Dublin yesteday for #InternationalWomensDay and in other cities too, but it doesn’t seem to have got a mention on mainstream media?

Yet another couple forced abroad for medical termination due to Ireland’s abortion laws. Baby’s bodies hidden in cars again. The suffering this woman endured travelling could’ve killed her. Cowardly politicians made distinction not made in other countries re fatal & severe abnormalities. #TFMR

Disabled community protesting for winter payment and restoration of stolen supports. People choosing between heating or eating. #affordableireland #disablity

The US and Israel are the most dangerous force on the planet. The bombing of #Iran is reprehensible, another imperialist assault for oil & profit. It will in no way benefit those who’ve challenged the Iranian regime. We await Irish govt condemnation.

#IWD #RiseUp

The govt has had a huge reaction to its plans to reduce #SNAs.

Vital protest on Wednesday. Be there. Whether you have an SNA, need one of simply want to support students with additional needs to keep the essential supports SNAs provide - stand with #SNAs

Despite the weather, thousands marched for #Palestine today to remind our govt there is no peace in Gaza. We want #noshamrocksforTrump

I spoke on government Bill on insolvency just now & asked the minister for Employment would he legislate to protect workers such as what happened at Debenhams. Absolute ignorance - wouldn’t deign to reply. Pal of Michael O’Leary so workers rights don’t merit a response. #PasstheDebenhamsBill

Another day, another man pouring boiling water on his wife & trying to hammer her to death. These are never sudden attacks - victim notes she walked on eggshells for 40 years. #IntimatePartnerViolence

Cynical cuts to #SNAs.

The #FAI needs to grow a backbone, refuse to play & put pressure on UEFA. All teams should until genocidal #Israel is banned. Palestinian footballers have been murdered for goodness sake. Show some courage, stop the complicity. It’s not even a vital tournament.

New rental rules passed in Dáil tonight by 79/70 votes. Rents will only increase. A real landlords law. Incentives to evict people because rents can rise with a new tenancy. #housingcrisis

Deputy #Cairns: "given the quite contentious things coming from the White House…perhaps it's more important than ever to use this unique platform Ireland has". Terrible stuff. There should be no business as usual with a racist, genocider & paedophile. (As if Micheál Martin would speak out too!)

Some media will do anything to prevent calling Epstein’s victims ‘children’ or ‘girls’. They were not ‘women’. And what is an ‘underage woman’?

#GeoreMitchell was lauded in Ireland for decades for his role as a mediator in the Belfast ‘Good Friday’ Agreement. Having his name taken off this award should just be the start. Hundreds more to go though. Let’s keep going for Virginia and all the other child victims / survivors. #BillClinton next

Heading out to @rteradio1.bsky.social for the This Week programme leaders slot on behalf of People Before Profit-Solidarity. 1pm on - tune in.

Palestine, Venezuela, Greenland, Ice - so many reasons not to give #Trump a PR boost on St Patrick’s Day. Now #EpsteinFiles horrors is another. Join the ROSA protest

Went to see this play in the Gaiety tonight. Incredible one-woman performance by Jodie Comer & compelling script/production. She got immediate standing ovation. Defence lawyer sees the other side of the misogynistic courtroom when she becomes a rape victim/survivor. See it if you can. #PrimaFacie

The state has again covered up for the armed support Garda who shot George SIX times within a minute of arrival on scene - twice in the back. No justification for this to deal with someone with a kitchen knife. The DPP power to block vital prosecutions must end. #JusticeforGeorgeNkencho

RTE reporting verbatim a Garda sargent claim at #GeorgeNkencho Inquest that there’s absolutely no way the situation could have been de-escalated. George had just walked home peacefully, watched by Gardai. Armed support arrived & shot him 6 times. Gardai surrounding, shouting & firing is escalation.

Govt’s & Civil Law Bill that still allows #counsellingnotes be used in trials is voted thru at 2nd stage. We will campaign for amendment to ban therapy notes in court at 3rd stage. Watch this space.

Another #manel on @tonightvmtv.bsky.social to discuss the manly issues of scramblers endangering lives; tenants’ rights; and the weather. Going backwards in representation in media.

Heartbreaking💔. Solidarity with family of Grace Lynch killed in Finglas by someone on a scrambler bike. These and scooters are a scourge, especially in working class communities. Action is wanted now, as seen by turnout tonight. #GraceLynchRIP

Ireland! We only need 4,000 more signatures to pass our threshold. C'mon!! @ipsc.bsky.social @kneecapceol.bsky.social 🇵🇸🇮🇪✊

“The shooting of Porter, who leaves behind daughters aged 10 and 20, was not caught on camera” How convenient for ICE

This was a summary execution, end of.

ICE murdered a nurse trying to save a woman from attack. #ICE should be abolished & put on trial. The Irish government shouldn’t give a grovelling PR opportunity to the President who licences them & shields their crimes. We should instead show solidarity to the thousands striking & protesting them.

c.org/9RjKSkWWGD Sign the petition - want to get over 10,000. #NoParkingTolls

Shocking info at the #GeorgeNkencho Inquest today. Two Rambos from the armed response unit arrived to deal with a young man with a bread knife. He was dead within ONE minute, shot 6 times with a semi automatic MP7 which neither had ever used before. Garda A & B testified behind a curtain.

I had written the motion with my colleagues for Dublin City Council to leave X in the hopes that they would see the incredible harm X was causing. To be fair, DCC management has been very proactive. Can't say the same for Gov politicians & other state agencies! www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026...
