@thejournal_ie This war refugee thing is becoming a joke. Our EU overlords say jump and our so called leaders simply ask how high once again. They tell us they are fighting for democracy... while it appears to me that the biggest threat to our democracy are those unelected EU officials & NGOs.

Up to 750 people will be housed at the festival site in Stradbally, Co Laois for six weeks. jrnl.ie/6158853t

@Niall_Boylan This nonsense has to end. I thought our flag was green, white & orange,but this is being overtaken on public buildings etc by this never ending pushing of agendas that no one I know voted for. All mainstream parties the same on these EU centralised policies where minorities rule.

Eamon training for next years Dublin City Marathon or is he offsetting his carbon footprint by dancing like a 5 year old in his bare feet. The last time I seen that many flags was the Olympic Games opening ceremony. 🤦🏻

@david_bellew78 I love when they say "we" will find the money to spend on non-domestic issues. That "we" is you and me !! And I dont remember giving my permission to these people to spend my money on this globalist neocon nonsense..

Dear young Irish people, your Government hates you.

@SimonHarrisTD @DeptofFHed @hea_irl @SOLASFET @apprenticesIrl @NTOIreland @FineGael The cost of accommodation for students means that most cannot leave home and stay in rented flats. That limits their access to places of choice and reduces their opportunities. When are you going to tackle that issue Simon ? Less of the photo opps, and more focus on real issues.

This week, nearly 60,000 people received their CAO offers. 770 people applied for our new joint degrees (outside the cao) 4,000 people have registered as apprentices We are changing and reforming third level education. Much more to come!

@DanielTMurray Serious question,if meat not allowed can we drink milk ?. Save the planet and throttle the small farmer and only eat what large corporations provide. Meat substitutes will be largely Lab not land based. Even now livestock / poultry cells are grown into meat tissue for burgers.

Twitter not ‘appropriate forum’ for ‘complex’ debate on meat consumption, but Irish agricultural model is certainly damaging the environment – EPA chief businesspost.ie/news/twitter-n…

@Ben_Scallan An attack on Free Speech is an attack on our democracy. Simple. No amount of dictates from on high as to how to interpret such a fundemental freedom holds any water. I could easily tie people in knots on what could be defined as misinformation from a legal standpoint. Get real.

Notably, in this clip, a sitting Irish Supreme Court Judge says that we have to balance the right to free speech with the "right to not be misinformed." I wasn't aware of that being a Constitutional right.

@patricej36 I am getting confused, how do all the main parties promote a referendum on "Women in the Home" when the majority of them refuse to say what a woman is? I will always promote womens rights..but surely this referendum must first state that it refers to "biological women" only ?

This piece of text 👇 is the finishing piece from the article. "Last week, a number of NGOs and lobby groups came together to urge the Government to publish a wording for the proposed constitutional change and name a date for the referendum". Now can someone tell me who runs the country is it the government or the NGOs? Senior members in the government say the referendum won't happen because of the wording and questions they will be asked. Some can't even say "What a family" is, as we have seen from @EOBroin he can't even tell you what a woman is. Some don't even have the answers to questions when asked about gender issues. Enough of a push and this referendum will fail before it's even begun. #TransWomenAreConMen #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #DefundTheNGOs

@SimonHarrisTD I think Simon needs to sign up for a course himself preferably a "Town Planning the Basics" as Drogheda is a complete eyesore with derelict buildings, drug wars, and a lot more besides. That town needs alot of investment in both communities and infrastructure..not more self PR.

Heading to Drogheda this morning to open our major new apprenticeship training hub. Capacity for more than 330 additional apprentices in key skills areas. Important investment for education, skills, Drogheda and the north-east twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@griptmedia @Ben_Scallan Is it just me, or does this woman Catherine Martin have the most smug , narcissistic, self rightous face out of all this lot. If the cover of the book is correct, I think who ever elected this person need to seriously look at themselves.#binthebill

"Can't answer a simple question, when you're literally regulating truth itself": In a slightly heated exchange, @Ben_Scallan questions Ireland's Media Minister Catherine Martin about the EU's Digital Services Act, which aims to censor alleged "misinformation" online. #gript

@eirenews_ie Shutting down of Free Speech is simply a direct attack on democracy. Who exactly voted for all this nonsense. I cannot remember doing so !. They tell us to fight for democracy in Ukraine while each day our own is being erodedby the same people. #HateSpeech #binthebill

Brain dead or Brain washed? #GreenParty #binthebill

@Independent_ie Fair play to her,but so did many Irish students. Some with major disadvantages, broken homes,poverty etc. Why do we never see headlines about such people. No single part of society should rank ahead of others,this type of reporting is getting tiresome.Trans results next I guess.

A Ukrainian student who passed all her Leaving Cert subjects after just a year in an Irish school has said she feels “so relieved and happy” buff.ly/47O9S76

@TinaMax8 We will be changing our national flag from green / white/gold to yellow & blue very shortly. Tipp will be thrilled. Is this a "spot the biggest chancer" competition ?

Sweet divine, who let these two loose 🙄🤣😂

@MichealMartinTD This guy is simply angling for a EU cushy job at this stage. No one voted for the majority of the agenda these people are pushing. Time for real change in this country. And none of the main parties give an alternative to this BS at the moment.

On #UkraineIndependenceDay, I want to pay tribute to the people of Ukraine, and the courage and resilience they have shown in protecting their country. Ireland is committed to upholding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. We stand with you #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

@timmydooley @ALDEParty @BillyKelleherEU @ZelenskyyUa @sluganarodu_pp @GolosZmin This is self promoting BS. Do you not know the meaning of neutrality ? God...when you look at the level of person running this country we are in deep trouble.

In Kyiv today visiting the Ukrainian Parliament and our @ALDEParty sister parties to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day with @BillyKelleherEU good discussions on rebuilding work and opportunities for irish companies @ZelenskyyUa @sluganarodu_pp @GolosZmin #SlavaUkraini 🇮🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺

@griptmedia I dont think people realise that all residents of Ireland can register to vote in the local elections, regardless of nationality or immigration status. That means every single person in the state.

The government offering foreign language voting guides to help asylum seekers vote in Irish elections is a self-serving power-grab disguised as a good deed, says Ben Scallan: #gript #premium gript.ie/voting-guides-…

@griptmedia Only Irish citizens living in the state should be allowed vote in elections. Otherwise we do not control our own country at all... To do otherwise and give votes to other than full citizens would mean we have lost any control over our own state. !! Do people understand this ?

@griptmedia One of the fundemental rights of any democracy is the right to vote. This a right of every citizen of the country. However, in order for this to be a "right" and not simply a "poll" of the public..it has to be restricted to those that hold citizenship, otherwise its meaningless.

@think_or_swim Correlation is not causation !

Life expectancy in Ireland in the turf-burning 19th century was, on average, 38. In previous centuries it was even lower. “Open your mind” too wide and your brain may drop out.

@thejournal_ie Is this the "Leader" of our country main priority. Seems as if LGBQ+ etc is promoted everywhere and is one of the main agendas of all the main parties. Most people dont care what others do in the bedroom, they just want politicians who actually work for them on real life issues.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said he feels that homophobia is becoming 'a little more acceptable' in Ireland, and that he and his partner have pulled back from being as public about their relationship jrnl.ie/6143291t

@BenGilroyIRL Non-anti gay rights here...but is anyone else just sick to the back teeth with all these virtue signalling BS. Eventually all this agenda pushing is going to backfire. This nonsense is simply alienating the majority of ordinary everyday people. Who exactly voted for all this ?

Seriously?? Pride month is June yes June and yes a whole month to publicly parade your sexual preferences. Why you would want to do this is beyond me, that aside it's now mid August, enough is enough FFS
