@mjc0ughl4n @TomOHanlon17 Sorry it was “little pet project”. Even more condescending and demeaning
English
@mjc0ughl4n @TomOHanlon17 You called those seeking to have the first official language of the state being given its rightful place, “anglophobic” and Irish a “pet project”. There’s no use back pedalling
English
@mjc0ughl4n @TomOHanlon17 There is no ad hominem. Your words are your own, so don’t be upset when they are regaled to you. You made it abundantly clear how you feel about both the Irish language itself and Irish speakers
English
@EdwardOReilly65 @TomOHanlon17 You could always address the points I made rather than go straight for the ad hominem.
English
@TomOHanlon17 @mjc0ughl4n You most certainly are not going to convince him. You must not be aware of the anti Irish language bigot you are talking to, trying to play the reasonable moderate now
English
@robggill Why on earth should a foreign flag be flying in parliaments/councils of sovereign nations. That does not equate to support for another nation you retard
English
Surprised Reform didn't raise the Russian flag instead.

@mogsblogs @DLynchSport How is that 1980s. There has never been an issue with an Irish priest. This is a foreign culture issue
English
@DLynchSport Ahh here, the 1980's catholic church calling...people of ireland shut up and sit down
English
@niamh_journo Yayyyy fair play to you for completely debasing yourself for potential fame qnd fortune. Pathetic
English
Everyone's slabbering but I say good for him! Love Island is a crock of 💩- everyone who does it is only looking a bit of fame/money & sure why not? Maura Higgins has done brilliantly from it.We Irish can be very judgemental of our own having "notions" so I say go ahead Sean lmao
Balls.ie@ballsdotie
According to reports in the Irish Examiner, Galway footballer Sean Fitzgerald has been shortlisted to feature in the upcoming season of Love Island. Here's the application he posted to his tiktok in February.

@kieransopinion @RightInCorduroy Spot the transphobe. Sit this one out, bigot
English
@RightInCorduroy If you are undecided on this issue, and you don't have a womb - then you should probably just shut the fuck up and let women decide.
English
We don’t all have the same political opinions, Caoimhe.
Assuming we’re all the same, that’s a little homophobic isn’t it? 🤔
For the record, I don’t want to “restrict women’s abortion rights”. I am undecided on abortion as I can see both sides of it.
But the 3-day wait should not be seen as a pro-life or pro-choice thing. It’s about ensuring women make a considered choice that’s right for them.
Over 10,000 women didn’t go back for an abortion after the three day wait, since the introduction of abortion in Ireland in 2019.
It is clearly needed. Did you want 10,000 women to be aborting pregnancies they DID want?
caoimhe 🇵🇸@caoimheclarke_
The concept of a gay man wanting to restrict women’s abortion rights ..😵💫
English
@culladgh Extremely rare. But happens. And it is abhorrent
English
98.7% of all abortions carried out in Ireland in 2024 was within the 12 weeks. Abortion right up to birth is extremely extremely rare.
Anyone who has to make that decision for whatever reason, medical, etc. They deserve sympathy, kindness and understanding
Senator Sharon Keogan@SenatorKeogan
We can see where this is going with the @SocDems. They won’t be happy until abortion is legalised up to and including birth. How many babies have been saved by the Three-Day Wait? They don’t know or care; their thinking is 'let’s abort more'. Pure evil.
English
@EoinPoil @neilojim1972 @SeanFionn How is it a new one? Are you denying the rape and murder of the tans? And now to engage in whataboutery?

English
OTD 1945 Churchill was at his mendacious worst when, in his victory in Europe address, he claimed the Irish frolicked with Germany, despite being aware of extensive Irish cooperation. DeValera's reply did not miss and hit the wall
English
@robggill But not untrue. Unhelpful to who? Why should he not speak his mind?
English
Good. The comments were extremely unhelpful and ott. Give me the dignity of Enda Kenny and Brian Cowen - who keep their mouths shut.
Irish Examiner@irishexaminer
Taoiseach says Bertie Ahern comments on immigration were ‘not appropriate’ irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…
English
@EoinPoil @neilojim1972 @SeanFionn Of course they did. Less than two decades previously Churchill’s boys were brutally raping and murdering their sisters and brothers.
English
@neilojim1972 @SeanFionn Many in Ireland hoped for a German victory,Inc old IRA like Tom Barry,Dan Breen etc, US ambassador to UK Joseph Kennedy also was on side of Germany,luckily US troops many with Irish blood gave their lives defeating the Nazis

@HearnsOfficial @FuascailtCait Lol. The idiotic condescension is remarkable

@FuascailtCait Single-issue voters who don't understand policy.

Makes for bleak viewing. Forever grateful that the people of Ireland have their heads screwed on

Reform UK now has more than 500 seats in the England council election. There are over 5,000 seats to be won in total.

@DanMulhall @DanMulhall any chance of answering this very straightforward question?
English
@DanMulhall I ask this in all sincerity. Do the pros outweigh the murder of Ashling Murphy, the stabbed children, the beheaded gay men?
English
Those who claim that Ireland is some kind of hellhole should check out our ranking on the UN’s Human Development Index & do please note that most of the countries at the top of that index are ones that have a tradition of receiving immigrants.
Daniel Mulhall@DanMulhall
Immigration has been a positive thing for Ireland. We continue to need the skill sets that immigrants bring. Populists are those who offer simple solutions to complex problems. Immigration is an issue that needs to be managed just like all other public policy issues. My preference is to manage it from the pragmatic centre ground.

@TheMandyGall This was a far right conspiracy theory only yesterday. Awaiting @Default69202648 and the likes to say this is ok because they identified as children

@newryhurler1 @robggill @OdohertyI64991 The entirety of Rob’s south dublin bubble is named after british brutalists with kill numbers the provos could never dream of. Yet no issue there for seóinín Rob

@robggill @OdohertyI64991 Well Chichester Street is named after one of the most genocidal manics to set foot on this island ....you probably don't even know who he was of course , you 🤡
English
How many streets named after victims of the Provos?
John Wight@JohnWight1
There are streets named after Bobby Sands all over the world. There are no streets named after his prison guards.
English
@DanMulhall @Rory_Shamrock Not what he asked.
Where would we be without immigrants “contributing to our national wellbeing”. You’re some disgrace Dan

@Rory_Shamrock Look at what Indian software engineers, Pakistani doctors & Filipino nurses contribute to our national wellbeing.

Daniel Mulhall@DanMulhall
Michael McDowell makes some good points in this op-ed. People on the political centre ground need to make sure that public concerns about migration do not become a gift to the populist right. ‘Decent Irish people have concerns about migration. If we don’t listen, populists will’ irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…
