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

@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.

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. 🇩🇪

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…

@__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.

A Nigerian 'doctor' (!) in this State was employed in a 'Senior House' position in a Limerick hospital but "...knew near nothing, was unable to take blood samples and insert intravenous drips and had to ask what an obstetrician was...". We'd be lost without them...

@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.

@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.

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?

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 🙄

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? Comments to WhatsApp 085 100 22 55

@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

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'. gript.ie/watch-td-says-…
