How many more fly in weekly to pick up social welfare?

@ManDearSir The migrants are tribal too. It absolutely will not work.

Would You "Buddy" A Refugee ? Donegal's Inishowen Development Partnership are looking for local volunteers to show migrants around the area. Assimilation is going so poorly that Gov are coming up with schemes to now Force Integration. Irish Folk Are Tribal. It Won't Work.

@thomas_eilveis @XXXAstroAlXXX @Muinchille If our countries finances were managed properly we wouldn't have any debt right now.

@DMah21874 @XXXAstroAlXXX @Muinchille I hope they won't be here actually. But even if some of them leave (all of them won't), we'll still have an increase in our working age population over the next decade due to our Celtic Tiger baby-boomers reaching adulthood (a record 77,000 live births in 2010).

They could "run" the country on half this budget, and when they did, as long ago as 2019, it was a much better run country.

@thomas_eilveis @XXXAstroAlXXX @Muinchille Per capita is a Latin term meaning "by head" or "for each person," used to calculate the average per-person amount of a metric within a population. Do you really think the new additions to our population will be here when the money stops rolling in and the free stuff stops?

@XXXAstroAlXXX @Muinchille Yes we are. Our debt/capita now down to ~€38,500 (lower than Austria & Finland), S&P just upgraded our credit rating to AA+ (2nd-highest after AAA) & our national debt is €210bn NOT €236bn. Plus we record-high employment (2.8m ppl) & ⬆️ in working age pop over next decade.

Many of us have been following the events surrounding the National Convention on Education. I have written a piece on the company that has been awarded the tender to facilitate the Convention which may be of interest to you all. @MattTreacy111 @Glinner @TheCountessIE @k02568 @Jklunden @griptmedia @IrishInquiry @RealEddieHobbs @EoinLenihan @nwl88444048 @TheBurkeanIE @stellaomalley3 @ColmanOfGuaire @Casey5122dark @NiamhLanes @genspect @AdamsSandr4794 @LastGael @fiannafact @gearoidmurphy_ @critical_class @AlanWhelan17 @education_irish @ParentsrightsA @LFJIreland @TraceyOMahony81 @HealthFreedomIE @NationalPartyIE @FreeSpeechIre @TOR_EuroCon @WomensSpaceIre @wicklowwomen4w1 @PeteGDunne @RoisinMichaux @johnwaters2024 @DavQuinn

@PetersReceipts @MattTreacy111 @Glinner @TheCountessIE @K02568 It's like a nightmare. Much worse than I thought it could be.

@MrsChipd9563 @ColmanOfGuaire Will 2026 census give us a true picture? I doubt alot of them will fill in the census and the enumerators aren't going to force a large group of foreign men to do so.

@ColmanOfGuaire Census 2026 will be some read. We, our children and our few Irish grandchildren will all be dead and Irishness will be like reading about a lost civilization, like the Mayans are to us.

You don't hear the line: "if we don't watch out we'll soon be as bad as... " so much these days, but it baffles me why we continue to hear it at all - we're already far worse than most places.

@griptmedia Taxpayers have a right to vent their anger when we have illiterate senators on huge salaries calling for tyrannical speech restrictions and loss of freedoms for our people.

"Her sentiments...were very well articulated": This week, Senator Martin Conway called for action on "hate speech" and "misinformation", citing the recent online response to Senator Eileen Flynn, and the fact that users were "let away with it" by social media platforms:

🇮🇪🚨 Two foreign nationals, Muhammad Usman Baig and Farhan Mirza, both based in Dublin and owners of Baig and Mirza Health Service, trading under the Kare Plus franchise, were paid €9,106,390 by the Irish State childcare agency Tusla between January and August 2025 to house vulnerable children in private apartments and houses, raising concerns about children at high risk of harm. In 2024, they were paid a total of €17.2 million. The Irish government is outsourcing the care of vulnerable children to foreign nationals, and some of these children are going missing.

@griptmedia Tax at this level is theft.

"We do have to collect taxes to fund public services": Tánaiste Simon Harris has defended the fact that over half of motor fuel prices are pure Government tax, arguing that "we have to take in a certain amount of taxation to run the country":

Below left is a similar house to what the Irish government gave to Ashling Murphy's murderer Josef Puska. A foreign gypsy who never worked a day in his life. Below right is what your Irish children can aspire to own if they work hard in Fine Gael's and Fianna Fáil's Ireland

My letter in today's @Independent_ie Education is not therapy, and classrooms are not clinics. Social and Emotional Learning prioritises social justice, not a just society, equality of outcome not equality of opportunity, collectivism not collaboration. @Education_Ire @1Hildegarde @NCCAie @HeadWarriorTWM @TheCountessIE casel.org/fundamentals-o…

@JohnShy_ @EoinLenihan @MadeleineEbbs57 Loans and credit could also be used to force farmers off their land.

@EoinLenihan @MadeleineEbbs57 Farmers are under the impression that their land is safe but just look at the UK with punitive inheritance taxes and other ruses to strip the land from farmers.. I give them another generation or two and the land will be transferred to god knows who.

It was a neat move. Join the EU and shift the Irish economy to American FDI in the early 70s. Get Irish farming hooked on EU subsidies and let it wither. As Irish people moved in their droves to urban areas to work in American factories the farmer could still sell his fruit and veg in the supermarkets a for a livable wage. Let a couple of generations pass. International supermarkets take the place of the grocer and import their fruit and veg at exploitative prices from other countries undercutting Irish farmers who cannot produce for peanuts because they need to live - and because of Varadkar and co.'s mismanagement of infrastructure from water supply, to electricity, to inflation, to taxation crippled them. Varadkar then sits smugly in a podcast studio and says 'We’re (urban people) the ones paying all the bills and you’re the ones in receipt of a lot of subsidies and a lot of tax benefits that other people don’t get.' The obvious irony is that the "we" he talks about - urban areas - are propped up by American multinational corporation tax receipts. There is no Irish indigenous industry. Like farming, FF/G have left it to wither for 50 years. If US corporations didn't receive tax breaks bordering on tax haven status, there would also be no urban wealth. Ireland is a nation propped up from outside - farmers by the EU, urban areas by US FDI. Varadkar has leaned into this FDI dependency more than any other leader before him and has left the nation - for farmers and for native industrialists - a place where free enterprise cannot survive. To make his comments more absurd, Varadkar, as a lifelong politician has been subsidised by the Irish taxpayer - rural and urban - his entire life. Varadkar seems to think attacking rural Ireland will take the focus off the fact that he led this country and the failures within lie on his shoulders. This man has less dignity than he does political nous. He should shuffle off into obscurity.

@EoinLenihan @DavidSc36517670 Kenny heavily pushed Varadker to the top in FG.

@DavidSc36517670 I think Kenny was the end of old FG. Varadkar ushered in the brat pack - these young guns with limited understanding of Ireland - nevermind the world - but equipped with an authoritarian streak, entitlement and a sense the world owed them something. It has been a disaster.

@hipacrocapig @TheMandyGall Actually it's 'worster'. I'm concerned about the degrees NUIM are handing out.

Unbelievable stuff here from Senator Eilern Flynn, who ends this masterpiece telling us that she carries a can of 'Deep Freeze' in her handbag to spray Irish men 😭

@PeteGDunne And neighbours swapped and bartered surpluses in exchange for foods they didn't have themselves.

They'll be needed by the time this reset is finished. Ireland does not have food security in any true sense. Surplus (tradable excess) of milk, dairy products & beef? Yes, under pre-existing conditions & assumptions. In USSR 84% of fruit & veg came from gardens. Saw this in GDR

@Niall_Boylan @EmbrayHotay

@Niall_Boylan When food gets scarce and expensive, and it will, I hope these types of people experience real hunger.

If you read this garbage you will never get the ten minutes of your life back. Carbon tax or taxing people because you tell them it will change the climate is the biggest lie believed by a small percentage of people.

@JennyMcj0 @IrishmanIRL @SatSol26 She did a degree in women's studies at college.

@IrishmanIRL @SatSol26 Isn’t she a traveller? I thought they were hard as nails! This don’t add up.

"I'm not afraid of any migrant man, I'm terrified of Irish men" Senator Eileen Flynn talks about her speech in the Senate on Ocean FM

@AhernHerbe8277 @Pat88041792 @ColmanOfGuaire Still not fit to be a PP and shouldn't have been ordained.

@Pat88041792 @ColmanOfGuaire I presume he's not actually having gay sex tbf

Fr Roy Donovan is an openly homosexual priest who has compared the Catholic Church to to the Taliban. Last month, he gave an interview to Limerick 96FM saying the Church is dead in Ireland and publicly abused and slandered his own Bishop, Paul Connell, as someone who doesn't care about his parishoners. Also his views on immigration go directly against Pope Leo's views that strict immigration enforcement is necessary and desirable for all countries, though illegals should be treated with dignity during deportation. To summarise, he is a widely disliked, notorious, fringe and heretical priest in the IrishbCatholic Church, and it is disgusting that you are giving his lies about the protestors air time. Did you mention Bishop Alphonsus Cullinane of Waterford's resounding embrace and support of the protestors at all? live95fm.ie/news/live95-ne… blog.gaycatholicpriests.org/2021/10/limeri…
