@PeterRNeumann Yes, go ahead and explain, from a thousand miles away. Always great to hear from people in England explaining to people what happened in Ireland during the troubles and what the ‘actual’ reality is.

The ongoing (legal) debate about whether Gerry Adams was a senior member of the IRA is bizarre. Everyone knows the answer. And the entire peace process only makes sense if he actually was. 👇 theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

🚨 NBC: Trump administration officials confirmed to Congress in a closed-door briefing that the US was responsible for targeting the area where an Iranian girls’ school was struck. Scores of children killed. Not Iran. Not a misfire. Not collateral damage from someone else. Us. The White House posted bomb videos like highlight reels. Hegseth bragged about “death and destruction from the sky all day long.” Trump did a victory lap this morning. And behind closed doors — they told Congress we killed children at a school. This is now confirmed by the administration itself. Say their names.

@MichaelPalmerNI @MrRCain2 But that is unique to you, others have and require different circumstances to be productive. Everyone loves the idea of working from home, but it is clear that motivation to ‘work’ at home is much less than in an office environment which has an impact on productivity for most.

Genuinely don't see what the problem is with working from home. I'm autistic so I'm actually more productive in a quiet environment than a loud environment. If too much is going on, it really stresses me. I'm also severely deaf so written communication is better for me too.

@AlexKane221b Support for Nationalist parties is not an accurate statistic that defines the sum total of support for a United Ireland. Perhaps Unionism needs to stop believing this lie… or they can continue to pretend to be oblivious.

I’m glad that Gregory Campbell, presumably with DUP approval, is taking part in this debate. Unionism needs to get better at taking its case and cause everywhere

My thoughts are with the families of the 457 courageous and patriotic British soldiers who gave their lives in Afghanistan and who served in some of the most dangerous places in the world.  Their contribution will never be forgotten.

@sharrond62 Being a veteran shouldn’t mean you get immunity. It is very simple. Prosecute those who have committed crimes. The good apples will be ok…. why is this an issue?

@WalkerMarcus False…. You don’t believe in good old British Justice? Won’t they get a fair hearing? If they’ve done nothing wrong, they won’t be prosecuted…

The British government threatened the ICC if they investigated Israel.... They literally threatened an organisation set up to protect humanity and that they are a party to. The British government doesn't care about people and never has - it's all a smokescreen.

This is an exceptionally important post. If you are Irish or live in Ireland its a must read.
Patrick McGreal@PSIA1851

The Garda Síochána Powers Bill 2026 is now moving through the Oireachtas, and people need to understand what it means for their constitutional rights. This is not a small technical Bill. It goes right to the heart of personal liberty, privacy, and the limits of State power. The first major issue is personal liberty. Under Article 40.4 of the Constitution, your freedom of movement is protected. You cannot be detained unless it is strictly in accordance with law. But this Bill allows Gardaí to require a person who is not under arrest to accompany them to a Garda station for a search. That is a deprivation of liberty in substance. Irish law is clear. If someone restricts your movement without proper authority, that is false imprisonment. And the law says consent is not valid if it is obtained by force, threat, or by making you believe you have no choice. This Bill risks creating detention without arrest and without the safeguards that normally protect people. The second issue is privacy and personal data. The Bill gives Gardaí the power to operate your electronic devices, extract your data, copy it, and keep it. That means your messages, your photos, your contacts, your private life. The Constitution protects your personal rights, including privacy and the integrity of your data. These powers are extremely broad, and the Bill does not include strong limits or protections for sensitive information. There are no special safeguards for journalists, lawyers, political activists, or children. Once your data is taken, it can be examined and stored, and that raises serious constitutional concerns. The third issue is the inviolability of the home. The Constitution protects your dwelling with the highest level of security. But this Bill allows search warrants for a wide range of offences, including some that are minor. When you combine that with the digital powers, it means a search of your home could lead to a full extraction of your digital life. That may not be proportionate or necessary. The fourth issue is freedom of expression and assembly. Expanded stop and search powers in public places can have a chilling effect on protests, political gatherings, and public demonstrations. People may feel intimidated or afraid to attend events if they believe they can be stopped, searched, or have their devices taken without strong justification. The fifth issue is the rights of children. The Bill does not contain child‑specific protections. Children’s phones and devices often contain extremely sensitive information. There is no special procedure for searching minors or handling their data. That is a major gap. This is not about being anti Garda. It is about ensuring that any new powers respect the Constitution. Personal liberty, privacy, the home, freedom of expression, and the rights of children are not optional. They are fundamental rights. And once powers like these are handed over, they are very difficult to take back. People need to understand what is in this Bill now, while it is still moving through the Oireachtas. Your rights matter. Your privacy matters. Your freedom matters. And this Bill deserves serious public scrutiny. View the Bill here: drive.google.com/file/d/1cwnMpv… Always keep a close eye on the Bills our Oireachtas members are presenting. In this instance, the Bill is being presented on behalf of the Minister for Justice, who holds a statutory office, not TD Jim O’Callaghan personally. Ministerial actions are carried out by corporate bodies under section 2 of the Ministers and Secretaries Act 1924, which means they are less directly accountable than an individual Senator or TD. You can review the current Bill moving through Parliament here: oireachtas.ie/en/bills/find-… #BeBillAware

@Richard18719415 @KevinCampSF Yeah, because the British authorities believed everything the IRA, Gerry or Martin told them, no question…. Of course they didn’t, there is nothing anyone on the nationalist side could have said that would have made a difference. This is all on the British authorities.

12th January (2002). Unionist terrorists murdered 20 year old postman Daniel McColgan because he was a Catholic. Rathcoole. He was shot five times in the back and twice in the head by gunmen with scarves over their faces.
