@Polito_loco The ability of certain groups to mobilise flags has never ceased to amaze me. I’ve commented similar before. It’s truly impressive.

Jokes aside, I'm genuinely impressed at how quickly these dipshits of the United Left of Ireland found Venezuelan flags in Dublin. Do they have a storehouse with thousands of flags of every communist shit hole at the ready? No doubt our taxes paid for them.

@TheAkoFiles @paulmurphy_TD Paul doesn’t engage. If your opinion differs to his or her dislikes what yoh say he will block you and so will the party page. It’s pathetic.

Fair correction, @paulmurphy_TD has protested hospital waiting lists. Credit where it’s due. What’s telling is that he dismissed me as “far right,” rather than engaging with the substance of what I was saying. That’s a pattern with Irish politicians. “Far right” is now a class slur, a shortcut used when working class anger about housing, healthcare, or children dying on waiting lists doesn’t fit a neat ideological script. A complete avoidance of debate. If caring about Irish families earns that label, it says far more about the political class than the people they’re so quick to dismiss.

I watched the show from Dublin Castle on #RTE last night. How can you be the headliner for midnight and miss the countdown 🤣 #NYE

@davecoughlan80 €2.75 in some places. Power is with the consumer. Keep buying in the local store. Once you’re happy it’s all good. Like many and most things, there is always cheaper and dearer.

Our local Polo Store can sell bottles of coke for €1.20.....yet the same product is €2.55 in Supervalu.

@TheMandyGall And did you ask them how much their rent, rates, insurances, labour, raw materials, utilities and other costs are so you can complete your analysis?

When in Rome I discovered this McDonalds meal I paid €12.99 for in Ireland only costs €9.99 in Italy...the EU Single Market mask keeps slipping....

@awxjack Great read. I’d never heard of the company….. don’t stay invisible and wishing you continued success

Stripe offered to acquire us for $1.2 billion when we had $2M in revenue. Today, we've raised $330M at an $8B valuation and reached $1B ARR. We could've died three times during this journey. This is the story I've never told anyone before:

@GenFlynn Do you support those that break the rule of law? This man is in prison for contempt of court. Should that not be punished no?

Enoch Burke — HERO! Today’s Ireland is like all other emerging globalist fakedoms. In the end they lose. Remember Enoch, the stone in your path will build your (our) foundation. Long live the Irish 🇮🇪 🇺🇸

@thejournal_ie What’s the total estimated cost to set it up and the annual running costs? I asked the deputy the same questions when he wanted the state to have a building agency. He didn’t answer. Would he want drivers profits monitored and capped too so users are protected?

People Before Profit have today called on the National Transport Authority to set up its own "not-for-profit" taxi app in response to the 'Uberisation' of the sector. jrnl.ie/6885242t

@EnochBurke As any person who doesn’t follow a court order would and should be. He is not in prison for his refusals, he’s in prison for not following a court order. You know that.

BREAKING: Teacher Enoch Burke has been arrested, forced into a Garda car and taken to Mountjoy Prison after he refused to endorse transgender ideology. Enoch Burke refused to comply with Principal Niamh McShane’s demand that he use the “they” pronoun for a male student, a demand she had no right to make. As Enoch Burke is taken to a prison cell for the fourth time, Church leaders continue to hide in the shadows, betraying him by their treacherous silence on this issue. We can speak very eloquently today about the horrors and abuses of the past - but these things are happening again before our eyes. Are we still going to remain silent? We must say No to an ideology, now being forced upon our children, which is totally opposed to Christian teaching. Do not be deceived by the conservative “middlemen” such as John McGuirk,  Brenda Power, and many others who say Enoch Burke “is not doing it the right way.” These people are not doing it at all - and they should not be listened to.

@LOCthedreamer2 He is not imprisoned for his beliefs. He is being returned to prison for defying a court order. Like any person would be if they did likewise. He can purge his contempt and leave any time. Do you support or condone people not following the law? Should there be no consequences?

I think in years to come, many members of the Gardaí will feel ashamed of enforcing the court rulings against Enoch Burke. Many of us feel he has done nothing wrong. He stood up for his religious beliefs and is being persecuted for it. #HowIrelandWorks

@paddycosgrave Why did you involve Web Summit and wrote tk the board? Because the call had been to their offices? Curious choice to tie your company to such things no?

On June 16 2017, hours after I’d shared a video about corruption in Ireland, a Garda detective who said he knew Denis O’Brien from work in Haiti called to Web Summit’s offices to tell me Denis O’Brien was a good guy. Sometime later I received what I described at the time in writing to a Web Summit board member as a “threatening call from Denis O’Brien’s James Morrissey”. Coincidentally, at that exact same period in 2017 I was advocating publicly and privately for the introduction of anti-corruption legislation in Ireland. Following the visit of the Denis O’Brien connected Garda detective and James Morrissey’s subsequent call on behalf of Denis O’Brien, I engaged a criminal barrister and a solicitor. Based on those discussions, I then wrote to a board member of Web Summit that “I’d spoken to lawyers” about James Morrissey and his “threatening call”, and we “agreed” it was “an attempt to intimidate”. I was not intimidated and instead trolled James Morrissey and Denis O’Brien publicly and privately. They are utter gombeens, who deserve little but contempt. Details of this bizarre incident and other bizarre incidents involving Denis O’Brien & James Morrissey - and Web Summit - featured in documents submitted to the High Court earlier this year. And perhaps in 2026 some of these fun and bizarre memories - which are perhaps a window of sorts into how some Irish people behave in business - will also appear in a memoir titled: “Four Floors of Whores”.

@Rachelhalliwel5 But that’s not why….. his failure to follow a court order is why. Follow the order stay out of prison. Purge your contempt leave prison. Same as every person, that’s the law. He is not above the law

This is outrageous 👇 for refusing to call a boy a girl. you couldn't make this up!

@EwanMacKenna Same PR agency as Vogue?

What does Jennifer Zamparelli have on Irish media? Indulged for years, decides she wants to talk about sex so the Indo (which can't pay journalists) throw money at pod for her, and Late Late come running to promote it. Don't get it. No one wins but her.

@SocDems I personally think this is such a bad idea - I disagree

Around the world, countries are lowering the voting age and trusting young people with a voice in democracy. The evidence is clear that when 16 and 17 year olds can vote, turnout rises and civic participation grows. Ireland should not be left behind. It is time to act.

@paddycosgrave @FineGael Remember when Paddy attacked Denis O Brien….. you’re one of them Paddy. No better, no worse. m.independent.ie/irish-news/cou…

Remember when Donald Trump attacked Denis O’Brien as “another corrupt Clinton friend”. It may be fake news, but what’s not is despite the findings of the Moriarty Tribunal, O’Brien looks to be firmly back in the fold with @FineGael pictured this week with Minister Paschal Donohoe

@paddycosgrave Yeah….. tax…… sure you know yourself! extra.ie/2019/04/18/new…

Does Denis O’Brien not engage in remote work from Malta? Obviously he loves Malta and remote working from Malta would never have anything to do with tax.

@GalwayBeoOnline But that’s not strictly true either is it? Banks charge businesses for processing and lodging cash. Unless they’re not using banks at all and trading strictly via cash and paying breweries and utilities via cash too which is unlikely…….

They have given a good reasoning behind their stance #Echobox=1762272790" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">galwaybeo.ie/news/galway-ne…

@PadraigRice What was the total carbon footprint of the campaign and what was done to offset against it? 15,000 volunteers and 20,000 posters and 16,000 badges…. It’d be interesting to see the numbers

The Connolly Campaign in numbers: 🚪 800,000 doors canvassed 💰 €350,000 fundraised 💶 Average donation €33 🧍‍♀️ 15,000 volunteers 🖼️ 20,100 posters 🔴 16,000 badges 🎽 1,000 jumpers ✉️ 2.5m Litirs 📱 223,740 followers 📻 9 podcasts 🎸 1,500 at Vicar St 🦸 1 Catherine Connolly

@paddycosgrave Unites 🤣 PB4P and Paul Murphy block anyone who dares tk ask a question or have a differing view to theirs….. how is that uniting……

Today is a great day for Ireland.

@OneMightyIsland @LOCthedreamer2 Indeed. People should have the choice go pay how they want. Service providers should be making things easier for customers. End of the day customers have the power to choose the provider they want to use.

@MarkyIre @LOCthedreamer2 That’s sad.

It should be illegal for companies like this to refuse cash. It is legal tender. #KeepCash
