@WarMonitor3 Maybe Ukrainians choose to be part of Europe. Just like 27 EU countries choose to bring more countries together. People choose to stand together only to fight on the playing pitch. Some good will come from this illegal Russian invasion. Something to respect & honour. Loss & gain

@irishexaminer Did we not just purchase some boats, radar system. New fighter jet on order. With a new private jet for the minister & co.

Ireland 'stuck' at bottom of EU table for defence spending irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4183…

@rtenews Turn off every air conditioner unit in every public office for the summer months. That would save households more than what's going to be offered. We are too far out for an election for anything other than crumbs. Scrubs the costs by curbing public spending.

Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris has asked officials in the Department of Finance to develop further measures to help households with rising energy costs rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@Toibin1 So your saying that judges decisions are undermined by charter references from politicians? That a TD with a pen has the power to undermine our justice system? That our Independant justice system is an illusion?

Aontú is calling for an audit of all TDs who have given character references for people in court for heinous crimes. Its a misuse of public office to seek a reduction in a custodial sentence for these horrendous crimes. All such cases must be declared in future.

@Independent_ie Should have to publish expenses before elections. Taxes have to be paid. But it is just unaccountable indulgence. Voters get too caught up in party politics to sit down & take account off were money is being squandered. Empty cycle paths & longer traffic ques. Is that progress?

@rtenews Completely true. No where else makes whiskey like Ireland. Now long would the British army last with only ditch water from Scotland to sustain a fighting force.

The island of Ireland is in an "absolutely critical position" amid tensions with Russia, the joint military commander in Northern Ireland has said rte.ie/news/2026/0427…

@LizWebsterSBF @RejoinEUParty Why deluded yourselves. You can't rejoin. The divorce was final, your choice. All 27 European Union countries would have to agree. Britain borrowing alone plus the French. La two fingers to rejoining. EU has a cool civilized English speaking nation. The scots can join anytime

🚨 “Rejoin” – The Observer front page today Neil Kinnock: “The British people know Brexit has failed them. They also know how to fix it.” “No amount of political noise can hide the fact that leaving the EU has been a disaster. Britain rejoining is a case of when, not if.” Senior Labour voices are now openly pressing Starmer to reverse Brexit. 🔗 archive.ph/2026.04.26-052…

@Toibin1 I think rt? have live footage

A phenomenal response on the doors for Orla Nugent in Galway West and Ian Noel Smith in Dublin Central. People recognise the work that we are doing to oppose this government.

@NewstalkFM Love them. A watch in its day gave people the comfort of knowing the time. HSE patients never get their own records without high court action. Blood pressure varies when you eat, make love to beautiful ladies or enjoying sturdle. Smart watches are a tool not a remedy for that its

Smart watches are something that many of us are wearing, but are they a good tool for health and can they really replace human judgement? newstalk.com/news/doctor-wa…

@Toibin1 Did you ever hear a story about an emperor once. Turned out to be a small bald guy walking around nude. Now I'm not comparing you to him but your down to a mankiny bud & you are baldish.

Aontú is the fastest growing, best organised, and most cohesive opposition to this government. #OrlaNugent #GalwayWest #IanNoelSmith #DublinCentral

@rtenews So are we still on 8 wars that president Trump has solved? Or is this just another war America has lost & will throw countless billions of dollars. To find the path of peace America must sign up to the ICC.

US President Donald Trump told Fox News he had ordered his envoys not to travel to Pakistan to continue talks with Iranian officials on ending the war rte.ie/news/middle-ea…

@Independent_ie +5 Under 2024–2026 Public Service Agreement in Ireland, public sector employees receive 2 general pay increases in 2026: 1% or €500 (whichever is greater) on February 1, and a further 1% on June 1, 2026. The agreement, which covers over 385,000 workers, expires in June 2026.

@breakingnewsie The best tax break would be for government to stop squandering taxpayers cash. No handouts to UN slush funds. If governments department who allow budget overruns must be held accountable. No more sick notes by dept heads at committees. Cut the waste,stupid!

The decision to make changes to income tax in the upcoming budget was not prompted by fuel protests, Simon Harris said. breakingnews.ie/ireland/fuel-p…

@breakingnewsie Just worked it out. Deadline for children's hospital had to occur when Simon was FFG leader. Who else could open this much needed facility. And Dublin's third largest car park built underneath. Who is going to run that?

The number of people accessing emergency homeless accommodation has reached a record high, weeks after new rental rules came into effect. breakingnews.ie/ireland/tanais…

@breakingnewsie Is that the same local media that revealed he put six foot four on his tinder account?

Speaking with local media in Co Westmeath, Moran revealed that he had calls from people who said they would "torture me and do various different things to me" if he did not vote against the Government. breakingnews.ie/ireland/minist…

@rtenews It's over a hundred years off two parties. With a lot off mudflap parties to keep the status quo going. Sinn Fein is a good opposition party & work hard in committees. Solid ground support built Sinn Fein long may it continue.

Sinn Féin will be hoping to build momentum at its Ard Fheis this weekend to convince the electorate how its dream of being in government can still become a reality rte.ie/news/analysis-…

@NewstalkFM Should be left up to the judge who listens to both sides. Senators have no business telling judges their role in this democracy. If you can teach become a politician, if you can get reelected enter the seanad. It's costing more to heat the seanad then who save a homeless family.

Non-violent drug offenders should be given prison sentences, a Fianna Fáil Senator has argued. newstalk.com/news/drug-2255…

@Independent_ie This crowd has gotten so used to telling farmers what to do that it's a one sided argument. Where are the courts? Their independence could be called into question as judges become a political tool to control peaceful protesting.

@breakingnewsie I suppose politicians are taking a 1/2 week holiday for May day bank holiday. It's going to be edge of seat time.

An online group claiming to represent professional drivers, farmers and hauliers is warning the government that large peaceful fuel protests could be rolled out again next month breakingnews.ie/ireland/fuel-p…

@NewstalkFM I believed Leo biggest problem was a class thing. Now I find out he has no class at all.

'I thought it was a shocking intervention.' We asked our listeners on Lunchtime Live what they thought of Leo Varadkar's recent comments on the Path to Power podcast, in which he said that urban workers were 'paying the bills' for the rest of the country. Our callers disagreed with the former Taoiseach, let us know what you though in the comments.
