@modonnellDL TBF the IFA's non-endorsement of the protest gave Fine Gael/Govt the imprimateur to cast protesters as outliers. Ditto for ICMSA, ICSA & Road Haulier Assoc. Big Farma and Big Haulage are still powerful lobbies with Govt influence while smallholders & contractors are unrepresented

I remember when the farming lobby was as powerful as the developers. FG being embarrassed by their traditional base says more about who is under external spheres of influence. None of the farmers have Robinson on speed-diall the way Harris & chums have EU leaders.

@TheLandomatic @Fx1Jonny Only 14% of child marriages in the US are Romeo-Juliet marriages. 86% of child brides are married to adult males and some are as young as 10yrs of age. If you don't care about 10yr olds in the US you don't care about 5yr olds in Iran. google.com/amp/s/www.stat…

@BridledScold @Fx1Jonny So in your view there’s no difference between an Iranian 5 year old girl marrying an aged adult male then say two 16 year olds marrying in California? Or a 9 year old girl being offered up to settle a feud? Please tell me more.

She nailed it. But MAGA clowns gobble up anything Trump feeds them!

AI had it's work cut out for it with this one 😂. The translation wouldn't get a H1 in the Oral Irish but to be fair...it captured a fair bit.

@MagneticNorse @TranslateMom English please

I’m sorry, what?

@TheLandomatic @Fx1Jonny

@Fx1Jonny 47 years of child brides and state sponsored terrorism is . . . Lies? Weird.

@jondipietronh @atrupar There are only 160 Ambassadors to the US and he didn't have to remember the name (of the Ambassador he previously met) because the journo led with it.

@atrupar RUPAR: Ha ha lol, the VP doesn't know the names of all 4,000 of his administration's appointees. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH WHAT A LOSER

JD VANCE: With no disrespect to the cardinal, I don't know who Cardinal Christophe Pierre is REPORTER: He's the ambassador to the Holy Sea and US VANCE: Okay, I've met him before. Sorry. I just didn't remember the name. I've never seen this reporting. I'd like to talk to him.

@djstevemcgrath @modonnellDL Really useful tutorial on the use of the séimhiú in the 'c' word.

Still amazes me that so many people don't know that Ireland has its own language, aside from English. This is probably one of the single greatest clips of our beautiful native tongue being used.

@Nuly75 @stephenmcleary Not "now"....always was (or more accurately since the 1789 framing of political estates after the French Revolution.)

@BridledScold @stephenmcleary Promoting traditional values is far right now?

63% of voters select Catherine Connolly as President Far Right: She doesn't represent the people of 🇮🇪 — we had no choice 60% of parents surveyed select Catholic Ethos schools Far Right: This represents the people of 🇮🇪 — (don't mention we have no choice)

@OWPerfTracker @colm_tsionnaigh Nope. That would be the ELECTORATE. I can only presume English is not your first language as this is pretty basic Irish secondary school CSPE terminology.

@BridledScold @colm_tsionnaigh Voters are anyone registered to vote. Not using one's vote or spoiling one's vote doesn't change that.

@OWPerfTracker @colm_tsionnaigh I mean....you're not even CLOSE 😂 Voters: Anyone who participates in an election by casting a ballot. Voter Base: The core group of supporters who consistently back a specific political party or candidate

@BridledScold @colm_tsionnaigh Voters are the entire voting base, you dimwit.

@ProfessorCynic Lol! It's absolute* and RELATIVE^ percentage — not "relevant" percentage 😂 * p₂ - p₁ ^p₂ - p₁ / p₁ x 100

@BridledScold Typical taqiyyah. Moron cant tell between absolute and relevant %.

@stephenmcleary In Ireland all those further to the right than Fine Gael who subscrie to an ideology of intense nationalism, nativism, opposition to immigration, anti-secular, promote traditional values and revere authoritarianism.

@BridledScold Define Far Right please.

@Begos7777 Don't you have a dictionary? Or Google? Or ChatGPT? Can't be too difficult to find out what a VOTER is! 🙄

@BridledScold Moron typo dopey..63%voted for her even tho 63%didn't vote ok gotcha

@Begos7777 👆 Tell me you don't know what a VOTER is without telling me you don't know what a voter is? Also...what is a moton...is it an illiterate moron? 😂

@BridledScold 63% didn't even vote u moton🤣

@Ronangerety Wrong! 2nd highest turnout of voters this century ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@BridledScold But Lowest turn out of voters ever 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱

@neilcorcoran3 #FactCheck 63% of VOTERS chose her & urnout was 45.8% and was 2nd highest turnout this century. BUT, there are .5million+ primary school kids (circa 1m parents). 493k households surveyed (only 1 parent allowed to vote). 40.64% response [200,381]. 120k chose denominational (12%)

@BridledScold 63% of voters did not select Connolly. The turnout was only 40%. She had the support of about 25% of the electorate.

@colm_tsionnaigh VOTERS are people who VOTE. Those who don't come out are ELIGIBLE to vote but couldn't be bothered. Perhaps you should try improving your English literacy before trying to grapple with percentages

@BridledScold 63% of voter didn't turn out to vote. How did she get 63%

@SharkeyShe49714 Okay. 535,620 children enrolled in Primary Schools are represented by circa 1,000,000 parents. 493k parents surveyed 241,301 responded 120,228 (60%) chose denominational Catholic/Protestant/ Muslim /Jewish.... representing 12.02% of PARENTS or 24.04% of households.

@BridledScold Get the facts before bland statements
