Derek responds to @LeoVaradkar criticism of Taoiseach @MicheálMartinTD A clip of my appearance on the BBC Radio Ulster Talkback show where I joined Aoife Moore, Gregory Campbell MP and DUP founder Wallace Thompson to discuss Varadkar's assertion that Martin is putting up an "artificial barrier" to…

Just off BBC radio ulster discussing comments by @leovaradkartd.bsky.social on the #borderland #podcast I rarely defend #michealmartin, but even I feel accusing him of putting up an "artificial barrier" to a referendum on #unity is unfair and excessive www.bbc.com/news/article...

If, by appearing on the @news.rte.ie, @MichealMartinTD had intended to quell any hint of unrest or disquiet within the @fiannafailparty.bsky.social, the actual impact was to do the opposite. This was not the appearance of a leader at the peak of his authority

I was on @rteradio1.bsky.social earlier speaking about the dire #aras2025 #aras25 debacle facing #AnTaoiseach and @fiannafailparty.bsky.social t.co/X7OXQV1vBM

I was on @newstalkfm.bsky.social #PatKenny show along with @garymurphy.bsky.social to discuss what’s happening in @fiannafailparty.bsky.social and #Aras2025 TL;DR while folks focus on process issues such as vetting… the real problem is with political judgement and leadership shown t.co/zoQCAYn4Gs

A quick #MooneyOnPolitics #Podcast update on the state of the #aras2025 race… open.spotify.com/episode/7vEs...

There are many takeaways from today’s @TheSundayIndo poll… for me it is the Munster effect, as explained by @kevcunningham in his analysis. The big test now is whether @MichealMartinTD can parlay his personal popularity into Munster votes for @gavinforthearas…

🧵 My take on the #Aras2025 Presidential race in week one: 1/ There is an anger out there. But it’s not the anger of the extremes. It’s a centrist anger. The frustration of voters who’d usually back FF, FG, Lab… but now see these parties as rudderless and shallow.

I was on @RTEDrivetime on Tuesday I appeared on the RTÉ Radio One Drivetime show on saturday to discuss the decision of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party to select Jim Gavin as it's Irish presidential election candidate

I truly hope this headline in Irish Mail is based on a gross misreading of the comments made… if this is the @fiannafailparty.bsky.social leader’s view then he is shredding any notion of party discipline in #aras2025 or any other election

Great feature on the Irish holiday travel sector in today’s @independent.ie including my (2nd) cousin Ciara Mooney from www.solotravel.ie

It’s odd… some folks see this headline and remark: good to see @simonharrisireland.bsky.social wanting to double @irishdefenceforces.bsky.social spending. Whereas, I see it and think: this is performative… it’s someone trying to make others think they are doing something, while they do nothing.

Hmmm… must be just a coincidence… @fiannafailparty members start to publicly express opinions not approved by the leadership… and then counter spin appears…. #Aras25

Fascinating take on today’s @WhiteHouse meeting from @scottlucas.bsky.social 'Huge win for Zelensky' as Trump meets Europe leaders saying US support ... youtu.be/m_f3lO61q1U?...

My take on the last most “unpresidential” week in #aras2025 race… and how certain big parties are responsible for enabling this #MooneyOnPolitics #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/3FCT...

This is a very good 30 min primer on the #useutradedeal/ framework with @Clinton_InstUCD professor @scottlucas.bsky.social on #TimesRadio via @YouTube youtu.be/9eXs3gjPxBU?...

Here is a prediction. This so-called "deal", capitulation to a Mafia don as it might be more accurately described, will struggle to be endorsed within the European system. Thankfully, "Europe" is not run by the weak UvdL, as the US is by Trump, but by multiple democratic forces.
