@Handssolo45 @courtsnewsIRL Wasn't it a female judge?
She must not have any family.

@courtsnewsIRL If the men of Ireland accept this, it's on them. They should turn the entire system to ashes for this.

A man who sexually assaulted a six-year-old girl while trying to distract her with sweets has been handed a fully suspended sentence.

@VeeVeeFreeFox @visegrad24 The EU happened. The EEC was a good thing, but then it became the EU, and its gone downhill. Even though its a bloc of 27 countries the politicians in Brussels think of it as one big country or maybe an EU version of the USSR.
English

Well yes, but who voted for the German government?
Why are the men allowing the women to lead and make decisions? What does the family household look like? Are fathers and mothers equal in decision making or is there an actual leader in the house?
It’s so sad to see. I grew up going to a German church in the USA and we were sponsored by German Americans. I use to go to Germantown in Philly for pretzels, and always thought the people were beautiful and strong.
What happened?

BREAKING:
An illegal Iraqi asylum seeker who pushed a 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Liana K., in front of a moving freight train in Germany has avoided jail.
A court ruled that the 31-year-old Muhammed A. is not criminally responsible due to severe paranoid schizophrenia and ordered him to be placed permanently in a psychiatric facility.

@ClydeDonnelly99 @Mick_O_Keeffe @IrishTimesPol That where it begins. You only have to look at the UK to see the end result.

@Mick_O_Keeffe @IrishTimesPol Yeah, but only in the local council elections.

@lbmeyler @Ben_Scallan Very likely based on the government's ability to build a hospital.
English

@Ben_Scallan Nuclear is a must!
Ireland will get its first nuclear station in the 22nd century... 🙄
English

I'm personally undecided on nuclear, but whether one agrees with such a measure or not, THANKS BE TO GOD for a brave new idea and taking a bit of a risk to try something that's inarguably innovative and different. Very refreshing in a profoundly stale political climate.
James O'Connor TD@JamesOConnorTD
I am proud to announce my first bill with the ambition to legalise nuclear energy in Ireland. 101 years ago, Ireland broke ground on the Shannon Hydroelectric Scheme. In our past we had an ambition to do what was necessary. Now we must do so again. businesspost.ie/politics/new-l…

@Mick_O_Keeffe @irishexaminer But surely they don't have to accept BAM's offer when a project is put out to tender? They could accept other offers.
English

@irishexaminer In other words, Ireland is the most corrupt country on earth.

Taoiseach says BAM cannot be barred from State contracts despite children’s hospital delays irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…

@__DrAwkward__ @1169AndCounting They probably don't have to do them. They just claim to be a medical professional. Our government have stated they don't know or understand what vetting is, so it would be easy for them to pretend to be something they are not.

@1169AndCounting How the fuck did this guy get through the interview?? 🤔

Overcrowding in jails now a national scandal that’s putting people in danger, prison officers warn buff.ly/Ll550Se
English

@OrlaSingh7538 @caulmick @IrishTimes Its like here with the north of Ireland in 70s/80s except on a much larger scale. The north of Ireland was dangerous, you did not go there unless you had to. But the rest of Ireland was OK for the most part. Ukraine is the same you do not go to southeast Ukraine but rest is OK.
English

@caulmick @IrishTimes How do simultaneously hold that Ukraine is a war zone people are fleeing.
And also that people can be paid to return there.
Which is it?

Kyiv official: Housing crisis will not be solved by phasing out accommodation for #Ukrainians
Sergiy Kyslytsya, the first deputy head of president Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s office, was commenting after a plan to terminate more than 500 contracts for hotels and other accommodation housing more than 16,000 Ukrainian refugees from August was confirmed.
The Government plans to offer financial incentives in the hope of persuading Ukrainians to return to their country.

@caulmick @IrishTimes No, just stop giving them money and they will go rather quickly.

@VeeVeeFreeFox @visegrad24 Shouldn't you be blaming the German government for bringing the murderer to Germany. Did you see a couple of years ago where a German man was doing good and the police pounced on him. The police man got stabbed in the neck while restraining the innocent man.

@Niall_Boylan I assume that lady doesn't want the childs father to mind the child either?
English

Also on the show live at 12pm:
A listener got in touch to say she was furious after dropping her three-year-old daughter off at her local crèche and noticing a new male member of staff. She questioned the manager about hiring a man to look after young children and later told the owner that she, along with other parents, would remove their children if he wasn’t let go.
She says that while not all men are paedophiles, all men have the potential to be paedophiles and are a risk to children.
Would you have a problem leaving your daughter to be cared for by a man?

@RuminatorThe @griptmedia @UlationSpeck If they government had their way you would not hear about any of it.
English

@griptmedia @UlationSpeck How many of these types of stories are we gonna have hear about ffs! Send them home and stop letting them in. FFS!
English

A court has heard how a "doctor" living in a Dublin hostel allegedly made threats to “cut” a staff member's throat, to cut a Garda’s head off, to “stabbing children” and “Allah”.

@BrianMc22680786 @Niall_Boylan The only flag that has been truly hijacked is the Palestinian Flag. Flown by non-Palestinians in Ireland.
English

The only people who have “hijacked” the tricolour are the lefties. When Irish people use it when they protest against issues the left wing stand for it’s suddenly far right. It is interesting that a Senator of this country does not even know the name of our flag & was using it when she was protesting. The hypocrisy 🙄

English

Coming up live on the show at 12pm:
The Irish flag has been in the news a lot over the past couple of years, with the Government and many people saying its reputation has been tarnished by far-right protesters, and that it’s being put up on poles to mark “Irish territory”. Some TDs have suggested this marking of territory in estates and communities is racist, and one senator even said she felt afraid of people at protests carrying tricolours.
Is the flag being used by extreme nationalists and the far right, or should we be proud of it and fly it more across the country?

English

@23Finto @Niall_Boylan Should that apply to the Palestine flag as well?
English

@Niall_Boylan For decades republicans stole the flag and used it as symbol of nationalist terrorism
It was wrong then and it’s still wrong now
The flag should be only used in official celebrations and not stolen by anyone for political purposes
Respect it using only for special occasions

@griptmedia Importing 1000s of third world men into a small Irish village with nothing to do...
did the government honestly expect anything else..?

MATT TREACY: Official and local accounts of a weekend incident at Citywest diverge as residents say a large group of men were ejected from asylum accommodation after fighting and disturbances, then spent hours drinking and roaming around Saggart village.

@emptingto @griptmedia Its been ceann comhairle for many decades now. You must be a teenager.

@griptmedia “An Ceann Comhairle”? I see the Gaelic lunatics are now in charge of the asylum.
English

The Clare TD told the Dáil that a Ukrainian living in Ireland just three months and charged with ‘his eighth crime’ is “holidaying here and on a crime spree at the expense of the taxpayer”.
He was told it was unhelpful to 'name the nationality'.

@ThigumTu @MsDaisyC @TJ_FactCheck @IrishDad16 If this platform is so bad, why not delete your account?
English

@MsDaisyC @TJ_FactCheck @IrishDad16 Yep but we need something that can be enacted immediately - ban and a big fine. Unfortunately this putrid platform is owned by one of the worst offenders so there’s no hope of him doing the right thing.

False claims of a stabbing at Connolly Station on Saturday night were shared to millions of people by a US commentator who had travelled to Ireland to cover the fuel price protests.

@irldefrauded @rtenews @BlowersIreland Definitely was not about the bike. It was obvious there was more to that.

@rtenews Was it another case of retaliation against a whistleblower ( who this Garda helped)

The suspension of a garda, for giving a man in his community in Co Westmeath the lend of a bicycle during Covid, has been described as "a shameful stain" on the garda organisation
