@FineGaelBrux Another broken referendum promise by Fine Gael. The Triple Lock should only be removed by referendum.

The Dáil debated irish defence policy yesterday.
Ireland must be free to deploy troops abroad according to our own defence needs at any time. No foreign power should have a veto on this 🇮🇪
Helen McEntee TD@HMcEntee
The proposed Triple Lock reforms are about strengthening Ireland’s sovereign decision-making, ensuring decisions on Irish troop deployments are made by Ireland, not blocked by foreign vetoes.

@AbubakerAbedW I know it represents you.
You're a sick, twisted, terrorist-supporting, religious fundamentalist, medieval lunatic, who should never have been let into Ireland.
You'll be arrested soon now that your mask has slipped.
Did these women in Gaza enjoy their rights perfectly well?
English
@BellJohnStewart Btw: This is not the Hamas court. It's an Islamic rule. And it perfectly represents me as a Muslim. I am telling you, women in Gaza enjoy their rights perfectly well, and weren't it for Israel, they'd be like nobody else.
Cry more!

Irish women are being humiliated and dragged to the ground by Israeli terrorists.
Yet, the government is okay with being one of Israel's top trading partners, allowing the dispatch of weapons to Israel through its airspace, and having soft ties with a genocidal regime.

This is the reality of what Hamas has achieved and this is the "resistance" that many in Ireland, including our idiotic president who sees Hamas as "part of the fabric" of Palestinian life support. Slow clap all round.

This is the new map of Gaza. Nearly 2 million people — most of them displaced — are now crammed into just 133 square kilometers. That is nearly 15,000 people per km².

@FineGael @HMcEntee The only people who give a fuck about the OTB, are the people who will never EVER vote for you to begin with.
When will the woke faction of FG get that into their thick heads?
p.s. Trade is an EU competence so your virtue signaling Everest is likely to be unconstitutional 🙄

@SimonHarrisTD I am Irish and I support the Israeli government detaining members of the Flotilla, including Irish citizens.
They should be deported and kept far away from Israel and Gaza. The conflict is not their business and they should stay out of it.
Harris does not speak for me.

Regardless of whether you're left vs right or if you support Palestine and/or the flotilla - these scumbags hog tied Irish people. Your countrymen. They ridiculed and humiliated them.
They wanted to show Irish people - and other countries that have stood up against Israel - that we're nothing and that they get to do what they want.
No self-respecting Irish person should look at that shameful treatment of our people and feel anything other than anger and revulsion.

@markhumphrys Harris and McEntee are a joke at this stage
So desperate to be liked by people who will never vote for them, but happy to continue to alienate the party's centrist base.

The Blueshirts want to boycott the Jews.
History repeats, but in a bizarre fashion. The modern Blueshirts are "woke", and yet somehow have ended up in the same destination.
Simon Harris TD@SimonHarrisTD
The actions of the Israeli government towards illegally detained members of the Sumud Flotilla, including Irish and EU citizens is despicable and cannot be consequence free. This is a further clear breach of international law.

@ColumDelaney “Who they r”? You mean the Jews. That shows what you are.
Every Arab in Israel is an equal citizen, that’s how Israel treats people who live in peace with them.
How did Egypt, Jordan & Lebanon treat the refugee Arabs between 1948/67? Did the give them citizenship or a country?

@RoseFle54723126 @Conor1960 You'd be getting radicalized too, if your neighbours were constantly trying to kill you.

@Conor1960 Poll after poll shows, the Israeli population are getting radicalised.

Chris thinks we should condemn a whole country based on one persons behaviour.
Imagine if we judged a whole political party based on one of their canvassers being a murderer?

This is not Ben Gvirs first time trying to humiliate humanitarian flotilla activists . He also humiliates and terrifies Palestinians daily. Yet Irish Government are welcoming Israel to play @FAIreland #StopTheGame @morning_ireland

@Aidan_Regan You're a scurrilous individual, using this man's death to stir a political agenda. It is, rightly,getting lots of media attn here and another man who died in the same manner last yr is finally getting some media attn too...not that you give a damn about either of them.

@HMcEntee I hope they're not flying home at the Irish taxpayers expense?

I continue to monitor closely the situation concerning our citizens currently in Israeli custody. Our citizens are expected to be deported to Türkiye later today, where they will be met by representatives from our Embassy in Türkiye.

It's legal fact that the blockade and its implementation are NOT illegal. Uttering lies does nobody any favours.
It's also fact that the Global Resistance (Sumud) Flotilla is a propaganda operation designed to force Israeli forces to detain the crews and generate publicity, not a relief convoy. None of the vessels involved are capable of carrying a container's worth of relief.
English
@HMcEntee @NewstalkFM They were detained legally for trying to enter Israel illegally. They will be deported to Ireland in the coming days. Including your President's sister.

I spoke to @NewstalkFM yesterday in relation to the illegally detained Irish participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Europe must act now and respond decisively to repeated breaches of international law.

As a man, a dad, and someone who actually gives a damn about protecting women and girls , I’m done watching politicians like @AndyBurnhamGM
play Russian roulette with female safety for the sake of self-ID ideology.
Andy: How many women and girls have to be assaulted, raped, flashed, filmed, or intimidated in toilets, changing rooms, prisons, sports, or refuges before you stop prioritising men in dresses over actual women?
Male pattern crime doesn’t disappear because a bloke says he’s a woman. Ministry of Justice stats prove it: 70% of trans women (biological males) in prison have sexual offence convictions that’s 20 times higher than female prisoners.
Yet you’ve backed self-ID, opposed the Supreme Court’s clear ruling on biological sex, and dismissed women’s safety concerns as “culture wars.”
This isn’t “inclusion.” It’s betrayal.
Women aren’t “bigots” for wanting single-sex spaces. They’re just trying to stay safe. And every time you let a male-bodied offender into female only areas, you’re telling half the population their safety is negotiable.
I stand with women. Real women. Biological women.
No more sacrificing girls’ safety for feelings.
Women and girls first. Always.

Not a single mention of Private Sean Rooney on your X posting history.
And you're the Minister for Defence. 👀
Your clear disdain for a young man killed by Hezbollah while serving his country, is disgusting.🤮
Helen McEntee TD@HMcEntee
Utterly appalling and unacceptable behaviour by Minister Gvir and the Israeli government. Our Embassy has formally raised this matter with the Israeli authorities and have demanded proper and humane treatment of Irish citizen. These actions cannot be allowed to continue.

"Immigrants hold up the health service."
"Sure, the Irish emigrated everywhere."
"Shut up."
Those are the only arguments you ever hear in defence of mass migration. That's genuinely all they have.

@BarryAndrewsMEP Yep, Palestinians were soooo much better off under the control of Hamas

📢 Good news - the activists are being released today.
Their treatment was horrible, but it is 0.01% of what Palestinians experience every day.

That is an Irish woman 🇮🇪. Sanction Ben Gvir now. Sanction Israel now 🇮🇱. How long can Berlin 🇩🇪 and Rome 🇮🇹 still block EU action?
