@BowesChay The returning yank.. pardon me... the returning Ivan pining for something that never existed. Traditional Irish music is bigger than it has ever was but you probably hadn't noticed.

We may have been poorer, but we were much much richer.

Ireland’s Foreign Policy Strategy named Global Ireland 2025 has run its course. Time for a replacement but this must be one take account of the shifts & shocks in geopolitics. Some thoughts in today’s @IrishTimes from Bobby McDonagh & Brigid Laffan.

@FredDuckham @BigPaulieDoyle Ah, a lot of these people are just idiots. Most people are fairly normal in their daily life but then some of them go onto social media and say things they'd never dream of saying in the real world.

@BigPaulieDoyle Seen him down our pricey Rialto butcher laden with huge bags of steak and sausages but that were a few years back. A lone wolf with a taste for bags of meat is on the pot noodle?

@EylonALevy Chaim Herzog joined a paramilitary group in Israel when he was 17, notably thrown out of the US for spying, I can’t find any evidence of him playing a role in Irish civil society.
English
The Irish Prime Minister is right here, but the entire political classes is reaping what it has sown for the last two years. They demonized Israelis, treated support for Israel as a crime, and now they’re surprised people take it to its logical conclusions. Antizionism is a hate movement.

The proposal to rename Herzog Park should be withdrawn in its entirety and not proceeded with.

@LizWebsterSBF @RobertGildea I wouldn’t say it’s a fait accompli that you ‘ll get back in, very destabilising.
English
A senior Oxford historian @RobertGildea has now said it plainly:
Britain 🇬🇧 needs a public inquiry into Brexit and it could be the pathway to rejoining the EU.
His core points are devastating:
🔹 Brexit failed to control immigration – replacing EU workers with asylum hotels and losing our right to return people to Europe.
🔹 Brexit choked trade, investment and labour, leaving the UK economy stuck at the bottom.
🔹 The EU has a functioning asylum pact. Britain, alone, has nothing.
🔹 57% of voters now want to go back.
He argues that a full public inquiry would finally expose Farage’s lies, reset the national story, and make it politically possible for Labour to lead Britain back into Europe.
In other words:
The truth is now a rejoin strategy.

@SuzanneLC3 Yes I’ll never forget the Christmas markets back in the day, they even had a little dole office there with a queue and no foul talk of rubber johnnies.

So Envious
Ireland 🇮🇪 used to be like this too
Many years ago

⚡🇭🇺 This is “Dictator” Viktor Orbán’s Hungary, Budapest: - Safe Christmas market. - ZERO fake asylum seekers. - Calmness. - There are no riot police on the streets. Europe needs more “dictators” like Orbán. 🇪🇺🇪🇺

The world is a funny old place, here we have a mother from Dublin supporting a terrorist state who murders women like herself in cold blood and then parades her half naked defiled body through the streets of Gaza, the same Gaza that Roisin is a cheerleader for !

@patricej36 Ah go on... when we leave the EU, what's the plan?
Let me guess.....
Close off our borders
Bring back the Punt
Houses and Stew for everyone
Throw out any non white people
Reverse gay marraige
Am I missing anything?

Ireland’s being dragged along by an EU machine that never stops grabbing more power.
Every day our voice gets smaller, our choices narrower, our sovereignty chipped away.
This isn’t a membership anymore it’s control. If we want a future shaped by Irish hands and Irish decisions, then Irexit can’t be whispered about.
It has to be put front and center, loud and unmistakable.

@LOCthedreamer2 Let the Burkes move to Utah, see how that works out.

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.

@John_Kavanagh Why so hell bent on NGOs ? Many of which are involved in local sports and their community- not to make money out of them - but to provide sport for the community through countless volunteers.

Only 10% of Irish people happy with how the government handling immigration. Crazy when you think 25% work in the NGO/Public sector who you would imagine would support the government.
Paul@PeterPaulGuy
🇮🇪🚨 82% of people in today's Sunday Independent poll say the Irish Government isn't doing enough to address immigration. We are the majority. The politicians, journalists, NGOs, academics and leftists who back open borders are the minority.

A real President would have stood up, told the crowd to be quiet, let the man ask his question and followed up with an answer.

@BarryAndrewsMEP @TonightVMTV @catherinegalway @HSELive She owns a laptop and was seen with pliers and a dinghy, you’re such a sharp tool Bazzer.
English
📣 Ahead of the first Irish Presidency election debate tonight on @TonightVMTV, three possible Qs for @catherinegalway:
1. Does she acknowledge that #Russia was behind the cyberattack on the @HSELive in 2021, causing widespread disruption to Irish hospitals?
2. Does she acknowledge that a Russian spy ship entered Irish waters last November, endangering critical undersea cables?
3. Who does she think has been flying drones over multiple EU airports in recent weeks in a clear security threat to Europe?

@Just_Alana_C @paddymacc1 The spoiled votes will be put in a pile labelled “spoiled” and the assumption is that the voter was incapable of executing their vote.
English
@paddymacc1 Everyone should turn out en masse to vote, add Maria Steen’s name on their ballot and put a “X” beside her name. Let them see for themselves the support she would have got. If people just don’t bother voting the message won’t get through!
English
#IrelandsShame 🇮🇪
Maria Steen didn't fail to get nominated; they shamefully put an embargo in place to prevent her from being nominated because she is a straight white Irish woman who they felt would have been intelligent enough to question government policy.
