Brigid Collins

@kenoflynnTD Your speech was Epic Ken. And I loved every minute of it.

If the Social Democrats want to talk about standards of debate, they might have thought to let me know before they let journalists know that they'd gone to the teacher. We didn't shout over female TDs. We shouted over Ministers. But I congratulate the Social Democrats on being able to tell the difference - I had genuinely thought they didn't know what a woman was. It is a bold new strategy which sees an opposition party filing a formal complaint because government Ministers were held to account. Not even their own Ministers. Someone else's. The Social Democrats remain the only party in Leinster House who would remind the teacher she forgot to assign homework. #fuelprotest #ireland

@HeidiBachram So they get holidays paid to exotic destinations on the pretense of work because they are part of pro Palestine NGOs.

Watch British tourists harass an Israeli couple in Vietnam. They sing “Boom boom Tel Aviv” and call them “rats”. They even invoke the Nazi trope of Jews being kicked out of “110 countries”. These pro-Pals are indistinguishable from Nazis now. I’m ashamed of them.

@robertrealistic @EamonDelaney10 Childish

@BrigidColl39398 @EamonDelaney10 Bridgit, keep your knickers on you fucking gee bag.

Blocking O'Connell Street for ordinary workers and computers is not the way for #hauliers and farmers to get public support. Quite the opposite

@BFraggles @SuzieD755164 Travellers do support anyone getting into that position & would wish them all the luck in the world. What We won't do. Is back the likes of her to think that she can disrespect The Irish Flag and this Ancient Land. She's learned the hard way. That Travellers will not support this

@SuzieD755164 Travellers on the whole are a very 'us against them' tribal outgroup. They'd support any nominal traveller who made it into that position, good or objectively bad a representation of the cohort they happened to be.

I suspect that the travelling community of Ireland do not feel so happy to be represented in this way (hearing the Irish people and flag denigrated). Eileen Flynn, a clear DEI hire and not someone who was given a seat because of her merits, will probably now say that she is the victim because she is being made fun of. I am quite sick of over paid (by the tax payer), over privileged politicians (in this case one that was not even democratically elected) who blatantly use their platform and privelege to discriminate against Irish people and our flag. Saying the most outrageous and inflammatory harmful rubbish. Moralising to the rest of us as they attack an ethnic group with distinct rights. Deluding themselves that they are the good people, while openly calling for Irish people to celebrate that which is anthitetical to our values and attitudes toward women and girls. These politicians have gotten way too comfortable. There are men in this country who are on their knees and frequently in tears because they cannot figure our how to keep their farms and haulage businesses going. People who make sure Eileen's big gob gets fed. But she clearly doesn't care about that. The radical left are the ONLY ones appropriating the fuel protests for THEIR own agenda. By tarnishing and astroturfing the grassroots movement with lies about "The Far Right". Make no mistake. Not one of these radical leftists care if these men lose their businesses or even their lives to suicide (suicide is already way higher amongst the farming community than it is among non farming communities). Irish farmers and hauliers are MALE. WHITE. IRISH. CHRISTIAN. Wrong gender, wrong colour, wrong nationality, wrong creed.

@CarolineMa27132 @RoseFle54723126

@BrigidColl39398 @RoseFle54723126 Ná bac!

Hes right. We would get another hung dail with a far right element most likely, have months of negotiations at a time where the geopolitical situation requires a stable government. The opposition are playing student politics like children. Do they not see the state of the world?

@griptmedia She's not 1 bit terrified.Its all a put on. As someone said to me today.Gets paid big money to talk bullshit She should be ashamed of herself for insulting The Irish Flag.The Irish Tricolour that Irish Men &Women fought & died for That was raised over the GPO on the Easter Rising

@CarolineMa27132 @RoseFle54723126 Why would I doubt myself

@BrigidColl39398 @RoseFle54723126 Brigid - I do - maybe you should doubt yourself more.

@Maryvallely1 As a Traveller. I have to agree with him.

The snobbery and privilege oozing out of Ben Scallan here🤮🤢

@CarolineMa27132 @RoseFle54723126 No you do not

@BrigidColl39398 @RoseFle54723126 I do live in Ireland

@CarolineMa27132 @RoseFle54723126 Not ur version of it. Considering u don't live here

@BrigidColl39398 @RoseFle54723126 What's your vision of how democracy' should be in Ireland?

@MariaPIreland @IrishmanIRL @RealIrishCONS Its making her look very stupid. Now if she believes what she says. She's in for a whole world of trouble. Because this is going to follow her. There one thing in the Travelling People and Community you do not do. And that is to turn against Ireland.

@BrigidColl39398 @IrishmanIRL @RealIrishCONS Good woman Brigid, saw a similar post and I've no doubt you all would. The Irish, all united, a united front. You're very good supporting the protesters 🪧 There's some lovely people from the travelling community, I've met many, however she is something else altogether.

"The protests were overtook by the far-right" Senator Eileen Flynn says she won't attend any protest that has a tricolour

@MariaPIreland @IrishmanIRL @RealIrishCONS If Eileen thinks that the Travelling People are going to decide with her. Over this Island. She may think again. The Travelling People that have supported the Protests throughout the week. Because if it comes to it. The Travelling People will fight for Ireland & the Irish People.

@BrigidColl39398 @IrishmanIRL @RealIrishCONS Good woman Brigid, we need more women like you to speak such truth concerning this venomous spitfire that's in the Seanad insulting us all.

@gearoidmurphy_ She doesn't represent the Travelling People. She represents herself. She should be ashamed of herself. As a Traveller what I'd like to know is. What the fk is FarRight.

Eileen Flynn represents travellers the same way Sarah Clancy and Theresa O'Donohue represented the community of Lisdoonvarna or Teresa Buczkowska represents Polish people in Ireland. "Stakeholders"

@MariaPIreland @IrishmanIRL @RealIrishCONS I'm a Travelling woman & its a shame & disgrace that this woman has allowed this gov to use her. Not for the benefit of her or the Travelling People but for themselves. Its absolutely sickening Because the Travelling People do not support what this gov is doing to this Island

@IrishmanIRL @RealIrishCONS I'll be doing a video on this today!!!!

@IrishmanIRL As a Travelling Woman. This woman. Don't kn her. But belive me when I tell u. Is been told exactly what to say. Is she actually trying to say that The Travellers out there. That have and are backing the protests for the past week. Are now too FarRight. What the fk is FarRight.

@CarolineMa27132 @RoseFle54723126 As ur entitled to. If u lived in Ireland. But if u still believe that Ireland is still a democratic Country. Your away with the fairies.

@BrigidColl39398 @RoseFle54723126 They don't represent me or anyone I know - I didn't vote for them. We're still a democracy which means I get to choose who represents me.

@Jarred942389 @EricLDaugh He is blaming the government.

@EricLDaugh I’m not sure if this guy is a left-wing, but he seems like one because he wants to blame everybody else for the reason the party is fallen, and the government is collapsing an island when it’s the government’s fault for passing stuff that people do not support

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. This Irish politician just went BERSERK on the government for blaming all their failures on Donald Trump, to their FACES "You're concerned about NOTHING, ONLY SERVING YOURSELVES!" "They've blamed Trump for absolutely EVERYTHING, we've heard government get up and stand about Trump, Donald Trump isn't in charge of NORA, he's not in charge of the carbon tax in this country, he's not in charge of VAT in this country, and he's not in charge of excise!" "If ANY of you have any bit of BACKBONE, join with Healy Rae and vote against this government and let's call the election!" — Ken O'Flynn The protests are only growing larger! 🔥🔥🇺🇸🇮🇪

@gnh_Eastwall These people are all standing on the wrong side of Irish History.

Barry Heneghan, It’s genuinely disappointing to see how people have been let down. At the last general election, there was a strong working-class vote behind you—people who believed you’d stand up for them, for farmers, for lorry drivers, and for families trying to get by. Those same people are now feeling completely abandoned. Right now, it feels like those who backed you have had two fingers stuck up at them. That trust is hard earned, and once it’s gone, it’s very hard to get back. People won’t forget thi

@NewstalkFM Even if this corrupt government survive this. They still won't survive. The people aren't stopping. The Irish People have had Enough.

newstalk.com/news/tensions-… No confidence motion over government's handling of fuel crisis could lead to row in Dáil over response to protests.
