Wishing the very best of luck today to the brilliant, brave, committed and caring Helen Ogbu. If you're in Galway West, get out and vote Ogbu No. 1.

At the centre of all this in Ireland is a man who lost his life, a grieving family, and a community searching for answers. Compassion, truth, accountability and anti-racism are not threats to Ireland, they are part of what makes this country stronger.

This is just in Dublin, spread this all across #VacantIreland and we have a cheaper, quicker and more sustainable solution to the housing crisis.
Better than beds in sheds too
Will the government be brave enough to bring in real solutions?

Reuse of vacant buildings could meet 40% of Dublin’s housing targets, report finds irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

The Right regularly spread fake news about migrants - here's another example that @Care2much18 has gone to the trouble of debunking. #irelandisfull of this kind of misleading stuff as well but of course it takes little effort to bullshit people if you have no respect for them.

Almost 10,000 likes for straight-up lies by Annunziata Rees-Mogg, quote: "Asylum seekers make up 0.08% of Dorset's population and 44% of alleged sex offences. So unbelievable I had to check. It's true." It's not true, it's utter garbage. I'll go through facts and figures. /1

On Abortion Rights @sinnfeinireland & FFFG are 'hiding behind technicalities' SF weakness on this, migration & singing 'Up the Ra' post-elections instead of talking turkey on housing, makes me question are they really Left? @SocDems @labour @greenparty_ie @pb4p @WorkersPartyIre
Paul Murphy 🇵🇸@paulmurphy_TD
Shamefully the Dáil votes to continue to force women in tragic circumstances to travel to access abortions. The vast majority of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael despite a free vote joined Aontú and Independent Ireland against abortion rights. Sinn Féin abstained on women's rights.

Rayner cleared – months of front pages. Paid what she owed. Resigned from government.
Farage – £5m undeclared. No investigation. No resignation. No front pages.
One rule for Labour. No rules for Reform. The crown doesn't have any either. 👑⚖️

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...
HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.
Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it
So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?
Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

So Bertie turned out to be a bit of a bollox. I mean, whoever could have guessed?

If he was willing to say “Up the RA” for £87, what do you think he’d be willing to do for £5 million?

@ociaraine @fintancox Can't really see any argument @ociaraine is making here. Declaring something to be nonsense or someone to be 2nd rate looks like an excuse for a lack of ideas or evidence.
English
@BrendanKORourke @fintancox Brendan, please stop with the critical theory nonsense, you sound like a 2nd rate American academic …. & I know when you use “democracy”, you are using in the same way as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” … you aren’t fooling anyone.

I dont get why anyone has a problem with this, we want people born here to migrant parents to integrate into irish culture like suad is doing here,she should be applauded, a pity more migrants dont do it

@ociaraine @fintancox We do limit migration into Ireland. I have issues with the way migration is handled by this government & can engage in our democracy to try to influence that. So can you. Using the concepts of white & native, products of British colonialism I do not think is very helpful.
English
@BrendanKORourke @fintancox Do you have a problem with the White Native Irish limiting immigration…?
English
@ociaraine @fintancox I believe in democracy, not rule by ancestors.
English
@BrendanKORourke @fintancox The “racists” are trying to
ensure that the White Indigenous Irish remain in political control of the future of Ireland for Centuries which they have ever right to do .. it isn’t that difficult to understand.

@deirdrao @fintancox Your colonized mind is making you behave in the way Britain and other colonizers think of immigrants - it is a self-fulfilling nightmare from which I hope you will break free.
English
@fintancox Is there a new Somalia on the way, "welcoming" white westerners with open arms.... ah, I think not. Likes of you happy to see the dismantling of our tiny island, with this "new Ireland" crap. God forgive you, coz I don't.

@JohnCleese A better question is why there are so many falsehoods spread about immigration: "Jordan was home to 2,175,491 Palestinian refugees in December 2016." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan

@UK_Needs_Reform Top refugee-hosting countries per UNHCR: Iran (3.5m), Turkey (2.9m), Pakistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Chad, Egypt - all Muslim-majority. The UK hosts ~450,000. Your post is the opposite of true. unhcr.org/refugee-statis…
