@Default69202648 Correct. Unlike Finland, our government is perusing an unsustainabile immigration policy.
Ireland (2021 - 2025)
~620k immigrants
~52k first-time asylum claims
Finland (2021 - 2025)
~255k immigrants
~18k first-time asylum claims
It's impossible to house these immigration levels

The total homeless figure for Finland is 4,579. It’s that low because they want it to be.

The number of people in emergency accommodation rose again last month to 17,517, an increase of 209 on February's figures rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

‘We saved €4,000’ – how much could you keep in your pocket if you ditched the car for a year?

@ClarksonsFarm1 What you say? I'm a sex banshee, I'm only after riding your whole family!

@Independent_ie This headline is the epitome of disinformation. Taking one very specific detail and willfully ignoring all the relevant context to shape a narrative. Shocking stuff from the Indo.

Irish income taxes are below average and closer to US than many EU peers, OECD data shows buff.ly/sDPtteH

@keira_con Posting fake images doesn’t progress your agenda. It hurts it.

@Snowdenderby @sciencegirl It’s not called “the Republic of Ireland” though, it’s called Ireland.
The Island of Ireland has two countries: Ireland and Northern Ireland.
English

There are two Irelands because of a long political and historical split of the island.
The island of Ireland is divided into:
Republic of Ireland (an independent country)
Northern Ireland (part of the United Kingdom )
This separation came after centuries of British rule and a conflict over independence. In 1921, Ireland was partitioned following the Irish War of Independence, creating Northern Ireland (which remained in the UK) and what later became the fully independent Republic of Ireland.
So today, one island, two political systems, different governments, but shared culture, history, and geography.

@TullMcAdoo The claim that populists are ignoring the war is one thing, though I don't necessarily agree, but this article ignores the fact that 50% of the cost of fuel in Ireland is tax. That's the problem, not the cost of a barrel of oil.
English

@joeroganhq Takes a special type of person to be willfully ignorant on a topic and yet proclaim themselves as having figured it all out.
English

@GTCost This assessment is somewhat disingenuous.
Trump campaigned on an anti-war platform, promising, “We won’t send your boys off to die.”
Voting for a self-proclaimed anti-war candidate, only to see him start a new war that leads to massive inflation, is not what voters expected.

@MichealLehane Early tomorrow morning… at 11am.
That’s the problem right there. 🤣

@Babygravy9 Some random dude gets up a stupid o’clock to collect her at 7am and drive her 30min back to the trail… then she badmouths him on the internet to the whole world.

@thejournal_ie I was at a football match this morning. All the parents on the sideline (a good few of which are farmers) were chatting about the protests. Most had been supportive of the rationale behind the protest but support has now evaporated since the organizers allowed the far right in.

Do you think it's time for the fuel price protesters to stand down? jrnl.ie/7009923

@LeftistBlondie @lthlnkso His, is an intentionally reductive point of view that could be taken on literally any study…
The questions posed capture political flashpoints across left & right. They offer an indication of how strictly proponents adherence to key positions within their respective fractions.

Since this graph is making rounds again and conservatives are weaponizing it while showing they don’t understand data. @lthlnkso

@CelticSceptic @Independent_ie But the maths doesn’t work anymore.
Average salary: €50k
Average house price: €426k
Max mortgage @ €50k(3.5×): €175k
That’s a €200k+ gap.
No one’s saving €200k, no matter how many coffees or brunches they skip.
English

@Independent_ie See, this is why young people are so entitled. Yea they should cut out coffees and brunches to save for a home. It’s called short term pain for long term gain.

@Warby_bo_bandY0 @danielgothits Nah, I’m only taking the mick. Your point is correct, it’s crazy to go into a relationship with such rigid timeframes in mind. I get the ambition to what to settle down and have a family, but putting deadlines on it day one will scare most off.
English

@_OnlyCans_ @danielgothits you got me. There's a reason I leave math to the calculator. I was thinking 1.5 years for whatever reason. 3 years is actually a fairly reasonable amount of time so I soften my earlier statement.
English

@CogitoScio @rtenews @morningireland There’s a simple fix. Let those who want their children to attend a multi-denominational school take their children out of catholic schools & enrol them elsewhere.
…But I want my little Johnny to attend THIS nice school. But also, I want the school changed to suit my views…
English

7/4/2026
In a large Govt survey with binary choices, 60% of parents with children in Catholic and other single denomination schools want them to remain Catholic. Just look at Emma O'Kelly's @rtenews headline, repeated just now on @morningireland. Unbelievable level of bias.
