@EamonMelia @donegalclaret Morons voting down the ballot form too. But sickening to see FG get the seat.

15 years of FG in power and every service destroyed, Rents and homelessness through the roof, Elderly and children with disabilities treated like shite. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE.

@rtenews @Revolution_IRL We’re being ruled by spineless cowards , who won’t and don’t represent the ordinary person.

The Dáil has voted against legislation seeking to impose sanctions against Israel by 77 votes to 62 rte.ie/news/2026/0520…

The woman in this video is Caitriona Graham an Irish citizen. Kidnapped in international waters, abused, beaten, put in stress position by Israel. A rogue state that Ireland sent €20m in dual use tech to in 2024 alone. @MichealMartinTD grow a spine.

At least @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD @fiannafailparty @FineGael are consistent when Israel commit war crimes. Even when the Presidents sister is kidnapped in international waters , they say sweet FA.

@thejournal_ie I think you’ll find the correct words are “ Israel commits yet another war crime , as they kidnap civilians in international waters” .

Dr Margaret Connolly, the sister of President Catherine Connolly, is among a number of Irish citizens who were detained by Israeli forces after a Gaza-bound aid flotilla was intercepted in the Mediterranean this morning, organisers have said jrnl.ie/7043338

Martin and Harris knew this would happen yet they did it anyway. This Govt does not care about sick children, They do not care about the elderly and they do not care about how many people become homeless. STOP VOTING FOR THESE PEOPLE.

Fianna Fáil summed up.

Should the Rep of Ireland play Israel in EUFA Nations league in September ? Vote and RT please.

@Number10cat Or going bankrupt because of medical costs.

A good question for all Europeans to ponder at some stage during five weeks of paid holiday

@Microinteracti1 How many Europeans are declared bankrupt because of health care costs? The answer is always zero. My medication costs are capped at €80 ($94) per month with no health insurance . The same would cost $780 in the US per month. I think us Europeans are just fine.

What happens when Europeans find out how poor they are? The Europoor? Nothing. That’s what happens. Americans ring the White House every morning to ask what the GDP is today, the way the rest of us check the weather. The trouble is that GDP is what you get when you stick Jeff Bezos and a man sleeping in a Walmart car park into a spreadsheet and take the average. It tells you the country is rich. It does not tell you that a hundred million people inside it are quietly not. GDP measures how much money sloshes around. It does not measure whether any of it ever reaches you, or what sort of life you get to live once it does. It also, rather conveniently, doesn’t mention the bill. Because the whole American miracle is being run on a credit card that has been on fire since the Reagan administration. The federal government owes nearly forty trillion dollars. The households owe another eighteen. Car loans, student loans, medical debt, a mortgage the size of a small principality, and a Visa bill that arrives in an envelope you have to open with tongs. This is the country lecturing the rest of us about prosperity. This is a man pulling up to valet parking in a leased Lamborghini and calling himself rich because nobody at the table has yet asked to see his bank statement. Run any household like that and the bailiffs would be through the door by Thursday. Run a country like that and apparently you get to be on the cover of The Economist. And this is where the whole sermon falls apart. Because on every single thing that actually makes a life worth getting out of bed for, Europe wins. Not by a bit. By a humiliating distance. The food. The streets. The holidays. The pavements you can walk on without being flattened by a Dodge the size of a small barn. The cities built before the invention of the strip mall. The Tuesday afternoon that contains an actual lunch, rather than a protein bar eaten standing up over a keyboard. The summer that contains an actual summer. Pick any parameter that matters to a human being who is alive and would like to remain so in reasonable spirits, and Europe is ahead. Often by a mile. Sometimes by an ocean. So no. Europeans are not about to find out how poor they are. We found out years ago, had a long hard look at the alternative, the debt, the diabetes, the drive-thru funerals, and decided we’d really rather not.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ If you like what you read, follow Gandalv on X: @Microinteracti1

Hi @RayMcAdam, hope you’re having a great bank holiday weekend. I couldn’t help noticing your current election poster is a bit underwhelming, so I took the liberty of designing you a new one. Happy for you to use it, free of charge.

@FineGael What money is this?? What exact costs have FFG policies brought down? Please be specific. Start with rents, energy and cost of living , all of which have been out of control long before this war started,

“If we adopted Sinn Féin’s approach, we wouldn’t have been able to put money back in peoples pockets”

We fought for Harvey at 12 weeks pregnant when we got the diagnosis. We fought for Harvey at 36 weeks pregnant when they suggested withdrawing medical care at birth. We fought for Harvey when we found out he had severe scoliosis and had only been linked to an orthopaedic surgeon that deals with feet. We fought for Harvey when they dismissed my concerns around allergies-later diagnosed as anaphylactic. We fought for Harvey when they tried to provide a buggy instead of a wheelchair. We fought for Harvey when he had delays getting a suitable hospital bed for home. We fought for 5 years to get him a speech device so he could communicate. We fought for him to get scoliosis surgery. We fought for answers when we found out he was removed from the surgical list. Harvey is now gone and we will continue to fight for him, and for the other children and families facing these unnecessary and cruel battles. We fight because Harvey deserved better and we fight because that is what Harvey always did. If government or CHI think we will ever be quiet and just accept what has been allowed happen, they simply haven’t been paying attention. #JusticeForHarvey #NoChildWaiting #StatutoryInquiryNow @CarrollJennifer @SimonHarrisTD @CHI_Ireland @MichealMartinTD @SBH_PAG @scolionetwork @Stephen63224725

The number of ‘Super Rich’ in Ireland has doubled in 5 years. The number of homeless has quadrupled in 10 years. That’s @FineGael @fiannafailparty in action. Stop listening to what they say they do and look at what they actually do.

@LakotaMan1 That light he’s going towards is a big fucking inferno.

This useless geriatric piece of shit had the audacity to call President Biden “Sleepy Joe.” Why does this fucker keep waking up? Go to the light old man. Go to the light.

@DarraghOBrienTD And Gov will do sweet f all about it. Energy companies have been price gouging for the last few years, and like most things , gov has turned a blind eye to it.

Electricity prices may rise by '4% to 8%', minister warns rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

LMAO who made this 😭😂🤣

@MichealMartinTD Over 17000 people homeless, exorbitant rents, energy costs through the roof and that was long before this crisis , tell us exactly what has been done about these??????

The Opposition claims nothing has been done. This is manifestly untrue. We are implementing significant action, with a total package of €750 million designed to very directly help protect jobs and keep costs down.
