Fianna Fáil Egg Sandwiches

A nice blast from the past, Neil Blaney’s “Independent” Fianna Fáil materials in characteristic orange branding.

Distributed outside the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis

Cornmarket St #Cork End Feb

Lavitt's Quay, #Cork 17th March I have not seen the stickers except in Coalquay area

Ah! They are on instagram

An interesting manifesto @electionlit.bsky.social

Some of my display at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis

Outside the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis

Didn't see the banners that were displayed pre-match, but there was a "Sport is Political" scarf being handed around on the Camac tonight

Flyer for the first meeting of Fianna Fáil held 100 years ago today.

After Israel began expunging humanitarian organizations in Gaza for failing to comply with new rules, a Doctors Without Borders team was left scrambling to establish a permanent clinic. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/huUHZP

Seeing as RTE and Ireland are boycotting it, maybe the rest of the media could show some solidarity by not reporting on it at all.

"Not Our War" leaflet from the Dublin Central by-election

This. "incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people" -- @parismarx.com

Pedro Sánchez (Prime Minister of Spain): “Those who consider raising the flag of a state "incitement to hatred" have either lost their minds or been blinded by their own vileness. Lamine simply expressed the solidarity with Palestine felt by millions of Spaniards. Another reason to be proud of him”

This is what the Government should be focused on, not on maximising the number of 32 sq metre studio apartments that can be squeezed out of every site for the benefit of largely foreign investor funds …

Today is Nakba Day. You cannot understand what lies at the heart of conflict in the Middle East unless you understand what happened to 85% of Palestinians in 1948. Here Eugene Rogan explains how hundred of thousands ended up as homeless refugees in Gaza

We don't have figures for Dublin Central and ofc BEs have unique dynamics but across Dublin in GE 24, transfers were (roughly normalised) Lab -> 24% SD 6% SF GP -> 27% SD 5% SF PBP -> 37% SD 22% SF Considering eliminations, 3pp gap gets bridged easily if this holds true

When Democracy for Sale started publishing stories about how Labour Together under then minister Josh Simons hired a lobby firm to investigate journalists I *really* couldn’t have foreseen this…

There's lesson there for Irish politics. Just because a right turn feels like "Common Sense" doesn't mean it's the clever move.

People leaving Labour because of; Transphobia............7% (Streeting) Immigration ............18% (Mahmoud) Ableism...................16% (Streeting) Gaza....................... 19% (Starmer) By contrast; People leaving Labour because it is Too Left/"woke"........ 2% (All of them)

The sooner Ireland and the EU end all economic & political relations with this terrorist state, the better. Kudos to Haaretz, a rare voice of truth, for reporting on Gestapo-style Israeli policing.

Was at the opening of 'Together Apart ' last night. Great speech by Michael D.

Malachy Steenson - Dublin Central @electionlit.bsky.social (missing definite article aside, first claim on the rear is obviously inaccurate ”Malachy Steenson is most controversial candidate running in this Bye-election”)

Mannix Flynn - Dublin Central @electionlit.bsky.social “the only true independent left”

The AI books are killing me.

Scoop from me and Gabriel Stargardter in Paris: French authorities are investigating whether BlackCore - alleged to be an Israeli disinfo firm - interfered in the March municipal elections in Marseille, Toulouse, and Roubaix. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Zohran Mamdani: Inflation is at a three-year high. Everything costs more — groceries, gas, healthcare, a plane ticket. The math is simple. Every American dollar spent overseas on war is a dollar that could’ve been spent here at home to pay for a dignified life. It's time we change the equation.

PabloReports: Ted Cruz called you a parasite and disparaged your work as a bartender. AOC: I think it’s funny that he’s been taking a government paycheck for 23 years but has the audacity to criticize someone who has come from a family that had to work their way up and earn their place here.

This house Over 5 years empty Should be someones home Instead wasted in a housing emergency Like ten of thousands of others across the country We have to do better Everyone should have a home Shandon, Cork City #DerelictIreland

Ian Dury in Donegal in 1958: His mother Peggy Walker came from a wealthy Protestant family in Co. Donegal. His Maternal Grandparents lived in Kilcadden House, a large Georgian house and farm near Ballybofey and Killygordon. Ian visited the house as a child on holiday with his mother.

LANDLORDS!!!!! Promising new scam just dropped.

A lot to criticise the greens over but fair play to whichever one of them paired that poster with his poster.

This is from 1932... the first line under Building mentions Houses, Hospitals, Churches...... Did the State build Churches ?

Dig a hole in his garden, cover it with leaves and sticks then dangle some Champions League final tickets over it

My substack piece on the Irish media's great hunger to find our very own Nigel Farage. open.substack.com/pub/saturday...

He looks like he is going to confiscate cans at a music festival @electionlit.bsky.social

They’ve blitzed the whole area with new ones. Janet for the planet! Lol. These are just some. There are loads more.

The only talks the Irish govt should be having with the owner of Swastikar is to tell him how many years in prison he should be getting for distributing CSAM.
