It shouldn't need to be explained to anyone, so soon after the Soldier F verdict, why Irish people might not want to be socially obliged to donate to a charity committed to uncritically commemorating all British wars, including Iraq and Northern Ireland, and financially supporting their veterans.

I see it's time for me to make the point again that the poppy is a fundraising campaign for the Royal British Legion, a specific, mundane entity that is not exempt from scrutiny and does not own the concept of remembrance. You can read its 2024 accounts here:

Simon Harris thinks there's too many immigrants, does that include the kids of the Lisdoonvarna Crew? The kids in direct provision? Cos he was content to use their song without permission.

"But it is clear that the attack happened in an environment where antipathy to migrants and asylum seekers in general has increased – and is being fuelled by elements of the far-right." It's also being fuelled by the government parties.

So the Fine Gael guy coached the Fianna Fáil guy, while the Fine Gael candidate coincidentally followed the same advice? They're the same bloody party. There is no discernible difference. They are a party concerned with power and nothing else

I'll call it here and now - those in the IPAS centre will face more "serious consequences" than those who attacked it. The recent rhetoric of O'Callaghan, Harris et al has paved the way for this attack, but no-one in media or politics will call them out.

What a bizarre headline! There is nothing Ireland can do to mitigate a nuclear attack. If there was one it would not be aimed at us but aimed at Britain. But seemingly having a president that believes in Irish neutrality begets this risk.

The FT has a column on Catherine Connolly winning, which is poor. Instead of the holes where its ideas ought to be, I will link to my 2022 column, written just before Russia invaded Ukraine, which includes my best-effort thoughts on Irish neutrality.

After presidential fiasco, Fine Gael and Harris choose hate over hope - why the Irish right pivoting to overt racism is as predictable as it is wrong, and what the left (and in particular Sinn Féin) has to do to avoid making the same mistake.

Not one of the problems faced by people in Ireland is caused by immigration - every single one of them is a result of over a century of rule by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil. As they pivot to naked racism to win over the crayon brigade to prop up their terminally dwindling influence, remember that.

It doesn't matter how old they are. Workers were cheated out of wages, holiday pay and security, and the state was cheated out of taxes and social security contributions. Get it fixed.

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest.

I'm not voting for anyone today because I'm out of the country. But if I was at home today, I would be voting for Catherine Connolly for loads of reasons. And if anyone is one the fence about who to vote for or if they're going to vote at all, I would appreciate them voting for Connolly on my behalf

I can't stress enough the importance of using your vote today. Complacency is what sees your preferred candidate miss out by a handful of votes in the end and opinion polls are not a ballot. Nothing is certain until you've gone into the booth and written it down. You've got all day, go vote!

Spoil your vote or strike a blow against the establishment? The choice is there tomorrow. The President will either be an establishment candidate, or someone who has stood against government and crises their policies have created for decades.
