@Alan__Shatter Isn't it amazing how Ireland gets the blame for evetything. You'll be blaming the gov on earthquakes in Indonesia next.

It’s happening all over Europe & Ireland is in the vanguard. Why? Because as each antisemitic event occurs all members of Leinster House avert their eyes.
And a state body , the National Concert Hall , cancelling an Irish Charity fundraiser, to benefit a life saving Israeli medical response service, representative of every Israeli community, that serves every such community & is connected to Ireland’s Jewish community, elicits no political intervention or media condemnation. Not even the governments appointed official antisemitism Tsar has anything publicly to say proving his position is mere political decoration.
Antisemitism is now normalised & systemic in Ireland.

Soltanto la viltà e l'abisso morale può spingere a vandalizzare pietre di inciampo di ebrei torinesi deportati nei campi di sterminio nazisti e lì assassinati nelle camere a gas. Nulla e nessuno potrà giustificare un atto cosi vergognoso

@Alan__Shatter A post created by an @idf member who probably shoots Gazan children for target practice. Where's the outcry from the Irish Gov, and indeed @Alan__Shatter, for the murder of the children of Gaza?
English
Irish government still disgracefully entirely silents on executions in Iran of protesters against the regime & pending executions of those sentenced to death.

🚨🇮🇳DERNIÈRE HEURE 😱🤬 La République islamique d'Iran a pris la décision de pendre Diana Taherabadi. Elle n'a que 16 ans. Où est l'indignation mondiale ? 👏👏@EmmanuelMacron

@MaryKenny4 It is that word progressive that drives me mad. Many progressive steps have brought us backwards many years.
English
Trump is abhorrent, but a genius, writes Matt Syed in the Sunday Times. He got the vibes of the public - their hatred of the progressiveism foisted on them. He has no morality, but he has bent history’s arc in his favour. And hugely enriched his family.

@Big_Man_Martin @Alan__Shatter "Importing many murders"??
How does one "import murders"?
English
Happy to deliver a lecture/talk to explain the stark differences between Ireland & Palestine, the conflict on this island & the Israeli Palestinian conflict, the entirely different historical background & the different range of complexities, the reasons why our conflict ended & Israeli/ Palestinian conflict continues. .What do you say Maynooth University Faculty of Social Studies? Any interest in academic & factual discourse?
Jonathan Eric Lewis@LewisJonathanE
I see that Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi just gave a talk to an Irish university audience, in which he compared Ireland with Palestine I'm sure the audience lapped it up - uncritically and without the slightest degree of skepticism
English
Given it had an average or 78% of the country watching the game I’d say that’s a national broadcaster fulfilling its duties?

RTÉ sent 41 staff and contractors over to Czechia to cover World Cup play-off semi-final buff.ly/xinLqN0

@rtenews I dealt with a few Indian docs many years ago. They were excellent just like their Irish colleagues. I can't either were perfect but they worked tirelessly for solutions to complex diseases.

The Indian Irish Medical Association conference in Co Meath has heard fresh calls for the removal of administrative barriers for Indian doctors who wish to register to work in Ireland rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@Agapanthus321 @rtenews Are you jobless Aga? Maybe go and fo an honest day's work
English
@rtenews It's bloody relentless at this stage. They are absolutely everywhere all of a sudden: the Bus Eireann customer care line, the sandwich guy on the train, every Spar and garage. Every skilled visa will bring a gang of unskilled spouses and relatives to mop up every single job.
English
@Alan__Shatter Yawn indeed. You forgot to mention the regime of your close friend, and leader of the ethnic cleansing, Bibi. His cancel culture involves murdering non-Israelis on a daily basis.
English
Yawn. What’s new? Wasn’t that previously announced? Censorship & cancel culture reigns supreme.
What’s the alternative? Maybe a Kneecap concert to celebrate the Nova Music Festival massacre festooned with Hamas flags?
Are those on about boycotting Eurovision going to go door to door in balaclavas to beat up on those watching it on BBC? Has the boycott ended all conflict in the Middle East?
Will the balaclavas have a tricolour? When will RTE surrender to the boycott police & announce it will not broadcast Ireland v Israel EUFA matches?
When will RTE start boycotting all sport at the Aviva Stadium because it is hosting the Ireland v Israel match?
When will RTE stop using Israeli tech for its outside broadcasts?
Have RTE presenters yet stopped eating Israeli avocados? How about dates?
When will RTE newsreaders stop saying Israel & just reference it as “ the entity”? So many questions.
Eurovision News@EurovisionNewZ
🇮🇪 RTE will also not broadcast #Eurovision 2026 this year, same as RTVE & RTV SLO

@Toibin1 If they sat their tractors and trucks on the road, they deserved tickets and should face the courts if they refuse to pay.
Cop on Peadar, there was no need to shut the country down just because they wantes a few days off.
English
What's next after the fuel protest?
How many farmers received summonses and tickets?
How do we remove the government?
Join the key meeting tomorrow night.

@ValentineKean9 @rtenews That's right. Well done the @IDF . I'm sure he'll be punished, lose a week's salary and then be promoted.
English
@rtenews And qhat is an important note here? The IDF came forward, candidly, admitted it occurred and then apologised.
Other armies, especially enemies of the Open Society, just wouldn't do that. 👍🐋
English
The Israeli army has said that an image circulating on social media that shows a soldier in south Lebanon hitting a statue of Jesus Christ is authentic and depicts one of its troops

@Alan__Shatter You mention attention seeking, inconsequential, irrelevant social media posts. Have you reviewed your own timeline recently?
English
So many posts of our Foreign Minister together with other EU states totally irrelevant to resolving Middle East conflict but this one beyond irrelevance.
No reference to the historical first direct talks in decades yesterday in Washington between Lebanon & Israel mediated by the US, the joint acknowledgement of the malevolent role of Hezbollah as Iran’s proxy in continuing conflict & the commitment to further talks to effect a permanent peace.
What is the purpose of these attention seeking, inconsequential, irrelevant social media posts & ministerial statements beyond a pretence at relevance to uninformed sections of the media & public to try & secure politically opportunistic broadcast media interviews & waffle?

@koshercockney Europe knows that @netanyahu is evil. I'm not saying his neighbours are good but he is evil.
English
@martinxo Israel charging up the genocide league. You must be really proud.
English
@Irishchutzpah @rtenews They're not allowed report from Israeli controlled areas due to @netanyahu's fear of what they might report. Applies to WB, Gaza and Israeli controlled Lebanon.
English
Clueless @rtenews reporting from Lebanon:
"and no one in this area can explain why the building was targeted"🤣🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is from our state funded MSM
You couldn’t make it up.
English
@Alan__Shatter Meanwhile you're leader, @netanyahu, and his army, @idf, continue to bomb civilian residences and shoot unarmed civilians on a daily basis to expand their domain.
English
Despite officials claiming Iran’s women's national football team returned safely from Australia and faced no danger, Iran's judiciary has ordered the confiscation of all assets belonging to team captain Zahra Ghanbari.
Sardar Pashaei@sardar_pashaei
Lured back with promises. Punished on return. Iran seizes the property of women’s football captain Zahra Ghanbari. This is what “safety” looks like under the regime. 1/5
English
@Toibin1 Delighted to see them removed. Today and tomorrow many tens of loads of fuel will move around the country as we are no longer held to ransom by the tractor boys
English
I have spoken to the protesters today.
They are willing to allow 10 loads of fuel out of Whitegate today for emergency services.
This could increase tomorrow if there are positive results from the talks today.
The government must engage.
English
@Lowkey0nline RIP, the @idf must be very proud to have shot an unarmed photographer. Unfortunately it wasn't the last time. They know how to atop the truth getting out.
English
@LeagueofIreland It's disgraceful that you've been put in this position by the greedy, and obviously well financed, tractor boys. Delighted to see the @gardainfo move them on from Dublin. Hopefully further fixtures will not be disturbed.
English
Given the ongoing uncertainty regarding potential disruption to the national roads network, we have taken the decision to postpone all LOI Academy fixtures scheduled for tomorrow, Saturday 11 April 2026.
This decision has been made to provide clubs with early clarity and to ensure that those requiring coach travel have sufficient notice to cancel bookings without incurring unnecessary costs.
We will review the status of Sunday’s fixtures tomorrow afternoon and will communicate a further update to clubs in due course.
English
The government has decided to pepper spray citizens before speaking to them.
This government is fuelling discontent rather than reducing tensions.
The opposition should call a motion of no confidence in this government.
