Exactly 100 years ago, a remarkable group of men and women came together to found Fianna Fáil. Many had sacrificed their youth to the cause of Irish independence. This evening, I want to thank you, our members and supporters, for all you do for our party.

Wait long enough & they will always tell you who they are.

El 7 de octubre de 1944, un grupo de prisioneros judíos en Auschwitz-Birkenau hizo algo que los nazis creían que era imposible. 🔥 Se defendieron. El Sonderkommando —hombres judíos obligados bajo amenaza de muerte a trabajar en el crematorio— había estado recibiendo en secreto pólvora introducida de contrabando por trabajadoras judías en la fábrica de municiones cercana. Durante meses, lo planearon. Sabían que no sobrevivirían. Se sublevaron de todos modos. A la 1:25 PM, hicieron estallar el Crematorio IV con explosivos caseros, atacaron a los guardias con martillos y piedras, y atravesaron la valla perimetral. Tres guardias de la SS fueron asesinados. La revuelta fue aplastada en horas. Todos los 451 participantes fueron ejecutados. Pero esto es lo que la historia nunca debe olvidar: lo hicieron sabiendo que morirían. Lo hicieron para que el mundo supiera que los judíos no se fueron en silencio. Lo hicieron para destruir, incluso parcialmente, la maquinaria del genocidio. Las mujeres que pasaron de contrabando la pólvora - Roza Robota, Ester Wajcblum, Regina Safirsztajn, Ala Gertner - fueron torturadas y ahorcadas. Las últimas palabras de Roza fueron: "Sé fuerte y sé valiente. " ¿Qué significa para ti que estos nombres no estén en todos los libros de texto de historia? 📖

Incredibly disappointing to see this. It is galactically inappropriate for the President of Ireland to act as a patron to Belong To, a very well funded lobby group for the medicalisation of children’s identities. We know these procedures cause harm. Children can’t consent to the loss of sexual functioning and infertility because they don’t understand the consequences of this. This is an unfolding medical scandal. Mo náire thú, a Uachtaráin

The rewriting of history begins. Opponents of gender ideology haven't merely 'endured unsparing criticism'. I haven't simply been told I 'betrayed real feminism' or received a few book-burning videos. I've been sent thousands of threats of murder, rape and violence. A trans woman posted my family's home address with a bomb-making guide. My eldest child was targeted by a prominent trans activist who attempted to doxx her and ended up doxxing the wrong young woman. I could write a twenty thousand word essay on what the consequences have been to me and my family, and what we've endured is NOTHING compared to the harm done to others. By standing up to a movement that relies on threats of violence, ostracisation and guilt-by-association, all of us have been smeared and defamed, but many have lost their livelihoods. Some have been physically assaulted by trans activists. Female politicians have been forced to hire personal security on the advice of police. The news that one of the UK's leading endocrinologists, Dr Hillary Cass, was advised not to travel by public transport for her own safety should shame everyone who let this insanity run amok. Lest we forget, gender apostates have been targeted for crimes such as doubting the evidential basis for transitioning children, for arguing for fair sport for women and girls, for wanting to retain single sex spaces and services, especially for the most vulnerable, and for thinking it barbaric to lock in female prisoners with convicted male sex offenders. Now the political landscape has shifted, and some who've been riding high on their own supply are waking up with a hell of a hangover. They've started wondering whether calling left-wing feminists who wanted all-female rape centres 'Nazis' was such a smart strategy. Maybe parents arguing that boys ought not to be robbing their daughters of sporting opportunities might, sort of, have a point? Possibly letting any man who says 'I'm a woman' into the locker room with twelve-year-old girls could have a downside, after all? Mealy-mouthed retconning of what has actually happened over the past ten years is predictable but will not stand. I don't doubt those who've turned a blind eye to the purges of non-believers, or even applauded and encouraged them, would rather minimise what the true cost of speaking out was, but 'yes, maybe trans activists went a little over the top at times' takes are frankly insulting. A full reckoning on the effects of gender ideology on individuals, society and politics is still a long way off, but I know this: the receipts will make very ugly reading when that time comes, and there are far too many of them to sweep politely under the carpet.

Two strong independent columnists speak to Aontú's Larissa Nolan on why the Soc Dem proposal to delete the three day reflection on abortion is wrong.

⚠️⚠️ SICKENING LENIENCY ⚠️⚠️ A vulnerable woman with Alzheimer’s waved down a stranger - 61YO Adrian Long - in Ipswich after becoming confused and lost. She didn’t know where she was or even her own address. Long looked through her bag, found her details, and drove her home. But instead of helping her safely and leaving, he followed her into her property and sexually assaulted her. A family member later saw him entering the home on doorbell footage. Despite her obvious confusion and vulnerability, Long claimed he didn’t realise she lacked the capacity to consent. The court heard his actions caused a rapid deterioration in the victim’s health, while leaving her already heartbroken family devastated that someone could exploit her in such a cruel and calculated way. ➡️Anyone who has witnessed Alzheimer’s firsthand knows just how vulnerable sufferers become as the illness progresses - moving through devastating stages of confusion, memory loss and dependency before 24-hour care or residential placement is ever considered or becomes unavoidable. Families are forced to tread a difficult line between respecting a loved one’s independence and keeping constant watch over them, relying on the public to help vulnerable people safely - not prey on them for their own sick gratification. What Long did was unconscionable. Yet he WALKED FREE. 😫 He received just 8 months suspended for 20 months and 40 "rehab" days. One vulnerable woman. One devastated family. One disgusting offender. And one disgracefully weak so-called sentence. A "justice" system that allows society’s most vulnerable people to be exploited and sexually assaulted with barely any real consequence has no right to call itself justice at all. Sickening. Heartbreaking. Infuriating. Vulnerable people in the UK being failed in the worst possible way. 💔🤬
