@mullallyelaine @Nick_Delehanty @PaulTreyvaud @irish_question_ Larry, curly and Moe.

We have got to stop the whole influx of people coming here and fix the problem before we open the country back up to immigration again! Myself, @Nick_Delehanty and @PaulTreyvaud discussing the current immigration crisis in this weeks episode of @irish_question_ will be out on Thursday. @AidanJoyce

@ACCR79AC @0KFW0 Nobody should pay any attention to people like Killian. The first thing they do when you disagree with them is insult you and then they dissappear. Gobshites.

@0KFW0 Opportunistic politics ….And then grifters like you . I didnt hear fuel protest “self app spokespersons” mentioning electricity prices , old age pensioners , cost of living , mortgage approvals . I heard “the cost to fill my tank “ …

I put €85 of diesel into my car today (3/4’s of a tank). If it wasn’t for the “far-right” fuel protesters, it would have cost me up to €120. I’m very grateful to them.

@EwanMacKenna You haven't a clue Ewan. They continually defie the odds and punch way above their weight for a small county. They have to be admired but you are just a contrary bollix.

Monaghan are utterly atrocious. And I say that with confidence even as a Kildare man. They wouldn't win the Tailteann Cup. #derry #monaghan

@AhernHerbe8277 The total amount of money spent on the Army Equestrian School wouldn't build 5 kilometres of motorway.

What a waste of money. Shut it down. We are spending millions on a 19th century British Officer LARP, that has no military utility, has little to no value to Irish heritage (which is the main argument given here), and which every other country in the world has decided to close down, as totally pointless and frivolous. Can we spend this money on infrastructure, we have almost no good roads in Ireland?

@LizGunnNZ Source please? That's right, there isn't one. The old "excess deaths" story.

The most vaccinated place in the world is in Ireland. It's a place called Waterford. They had the highest vaccination rate in the world. Then they suffered the highest Covid rate in Ireland. And then they had the highest excess deaths. The local health authority got an award from the World Health Organisation for the way they handled the pandemic. They had the highest death rate, having had the highest vaccination rate. 85% excess deaths at one stage they were on. – Andrew Bridgen @ABridgen

@Polito_loco Three Irish men in Offaly detained in relation to the murder of a child and his great aunt. Did you forget that one?

In the space of a 48 hours: 🇷🇸 A Serbian living in Galway is charged with the murder of his mother. 🇨🇿 A Czechoslovakian is currently detained for the murder of a woman which Gardai believe was a domestic dispute. The legacy media gave us the nationalities but of course the links to migration and crime won't follow. If these back to back horror stories were of Irish men there would be an uptick in the "manosphere" language. Why, it's me simply being "racist" of course by stating the truth of it. Silly.

@patricej36 I'm not sure that very many people care what you think. Remember the local elections.

Feck having a multicultural/Diversity society. I want a homogeneous society in Ireland. I want to see Irish people when I walk down the streets not towel heads, not ignorant Africans or Indians.

@RobSchneider @DisneyStudios He is a comedian. What part of that do you not understand?

This JIMMY KIMMEL is a SICK DEMENTED PERSON WHO WANTS OUR PRESIDENT DEAD! How the former family friendly ‘entertainment’ company ⁦@DisneyStudios⁩ continues to pay for this cretinous scumbag is as inexplicable as it is disgraceful.

@KSCUBKEE How these chancers are leading in the polls is beyond me.

People Before Profit Fantasy Politics Exposed by The Quays Collapse • The loss of The Quays ultimately means the loss of £4.2m in business rates. Maybe crushing rates bills helped kill it….cinema £152k, other units £615k, £375k, £250k, while footfall falls and online shopping rises. Maybe cutting rates would have helped. Now they get nothing. Instead, People Before Profit offer the usual slogan politics: “state should step in” and turn it into a civic centre or health hub. Reality: the council doesn’t own it. It’s in administration. They’d have to buy it at market value and take on huge costs. Converting a shopping centre into hospitals or civic offices isn’t cheap or simple, it could cost more than a new build. A hospital or council office doesn’t replace Debenhams, bring back shoppers or restore the footfall that kept it alive. This is what happens when ideology replaces economics. Sounds good in a leaflet.. impossible in the real world.

@therealmissjo @Paddyspurs1 Genius. All migrants to Ireland will get a UK address so they can vote. Did it take you long to come up with this?

@Paddyspurs1 Yes, you can if you have a UK address. A French person who moves to the UK and gets residency could not. Or a German. Or a Swiss. But an Irish person? Yes.

Top 5 EU countries showing migrants as a % of total population 🇮🇪 Ireland: 23.3% 🇦🇹 Austria: 22.7% 🇩🇪 Germany: 21.2% 🇸🇪 Sweden: 20.8% 🇧🇪 Belgium: 20.2% Ireland, looks like you are screwed. And so is the UK since Republic of Ireland population is able to vote in UK General Elections.

@keira_con Total lies. They didn't leave because they couldn't get jobs. The made lifestyle choices.

The state of Ireland today, 7000 Irish health practitioners left Ireland for Australia as they could not get jobs here, these Irish people did not need interpreters and had solid exams, and certification which could be verified in Ireland, unlike person coming from other countries 😉

@BreakingPointIE @kenoflynnTD @gavpepper85 The Muppet show. Should be a great laugh.

LINEUP ANNOUNCEMENT: The lineup for our next event — Fuel Protests: What Next? @KenOFlynnTD James Geoghegan John Dallon @GavPepper85 Venue & time TBC Link below 👇

@DavQuinn @RTENewsAtOne Don't forget that he also mentioned threats posed by the far right and the far left. I'm sure you didn't but just in case.

The threat posed by Islamists as highlighted by the new George Birmingham security report has been given due mention in the @RTENewsAtOne headlines. Good.

@mullallyelaine What is the collective noun for a group of gobshites?

Politics in ireland is rotten to the core, the three young lads from Fianna Fáil should have voted no confidence in government last week instead of putting out a weak message on social media the next day. We discuss this and much more on episode 13 of the Irish Question, out tomorrow evening. @AidanJoyce @PaulTreyvaud @irish_question_

@SeanDubIreland Surprised to hear that. Stayed in Cork a few weeks back for two nights. Late both mornings for breakfast and wasn't the last. No problem getting it.

Have we lost our famous Irish fáilte? I was literally two minutes late for breakfast in the hotel this morning. Tables still full of people eating, I could still see the hot and cold buffets were still out. The Maître D’ apologised and said they finish at 10.00. I wasn’t in the humour of a row, so I said that’s a shame and left. He could have seated me, he could have offered a bowl of cereal to take to the room. He was right, technically, robotically. I was wrong. In the early 90s, we stayed in the Great Southern in Killarney for the week. There was a waiter there. I’d say a college student. Still remember his name, Peter. He’d stand at our table telling jokes, nothing was too much for him. Great service is remembered 30 years later. It’s how we built our tourism industry. Now its computer says no with nothing to separate us from any other European culture. Am I the only one noticing it more and more since Covid?

@raggedlines Doesn't make any difference what the percentage turnout was. You have absolutely no idea how our electoral system works.

His party got 22% of the vote in the last election. Turnout was 60% so his mandate is about 13% of the electorate.

@paulmcmanus46 Massive crowd I see. How did they all manage to get in?

Fuel Protest in Ashbourne today, family day out 🇮🇪 Important to explain to our children what’s happening in our country so they don’t grow up to be sheep or worse, Woke!!!!! Erin Go Bragh

@DavQuinn The former has happened the latter was never going to happen so don't be worrying your little head about it.

Catherine Connolly going off to a left-wing political meeting in Spain is equivalent to President Maria Steen attending a conservative Christian conference somewhere or other. She would never have gotten away with it.

@mooreholmes24 I read your post with interest and agreed with some of your arguments. Then you went and quoted wee Jamie.

The wearing of GAA tops is less about a deliberate strategy to provoke or unsettle Unionists, although more would intend that than many would care to admit, and more about how central the GAA is within the cultural fabric of Republicanism. There is no denying the institution is an impressive one. Spreading right across the whole island and beyond. A genuine grassroots sporting body providing so many people, both young and old, the opportunity for camaraderie, community and competition. As great as all those things are, and they truly are great, none of it takes away from the GAA’s obvious and unavoidable controversial nature. Whether members realise or not, and many of them don’t, the GAA is inherently political - both historically and contemporarily. It’s in its DNA. It’s in its constitution. It’s all over the mechanics and paraphernalia of the institution. It’s downright ignorant and simply dishonest to pretend otherwise. Until GAA leadership and ambassadors tackle the ongoing glorification of terrorism within its institution, and surgically remove the political dimension within its own governance, it will never be viewed as truly inclusive - and why would it? If it continues to look the other way to sectarianism, allows clubs and cups to honour IRA killers, and advocate for political objectives, it will always be controversial, viewed with hostility by many, and never achieve the cross-community support that other sports enjoy. It has so much to learn from rugby and football, but instead, it brands them as “imported” or “foreign” games. The question really is; how much do those within the GAA leadership really care about that? It’s obvious that they don’t. In fact, they know their organisation is political, and view that as part of the GAA’s core identity. They don’t want to be like the FA, or even the Ulster Branch of the IRFU, which are genuine cross-community institutions. Setting all that aside, @JamieBrysonLLB recent remarks are valid. He is right in what he says. Unionists should be confident in who they are, but not by simply reacting to others. The British in Northern Ireland are equally proud of their culture, their colours, their institutions, and should have no hesitancy in expressing their identity with confidence and authenticity - without shame or restraint. Our post-conflict society had viewed cultural labels and single community symbols as controversial and sensitive. It went as far as perpetuating the idea that it would be considered offensive or inappropriate to wear or show such symbols. It’s fair to say that Nationalism, mainly a younger generation, has entirely discarded that mindset. And so they should. They are being unashamedly them - and fair play to them for it. Bryson’s point is more about encouraging Unionists to follow suit. Not reacting in petulance or provocation, but by being unashamedly themselves, with equal veracity. Be who you are. Wear whatever the hell you want. Do not hide your identity. Do not worry about “offence.” Proudly, and unashamedly, express that which is dear to you, and don’t do it just to poke someone else in the eye, but because it’s fundamentally part of who you are, and in turn, it will empower others to do the same. It will help cultivate and reinforce the confident, positive and proud community that is unashamedly British within Northern Ireland. No Surrender🇬🇧🇬🇧

@BaronoftheMaine @shimiMacGhille @mmago75645 Possibly elements of truth in that but Ireland has gotten well over that. Nobody gives a shot whether you are RC or Protestant. Can you say the same for Northern Ireland? I think I know the answer.

@shimiMacGhille @mmago75645 Exactly, numerous Southern Unionists who moved headed North say the same thing. Ethic cleansing and genocide it clearly was not. Cultural suppression, forced assimilation, and a cold house? Absolutely.

Ulster Uni alumnus here, As a student, a witnessed many students in 1916 Easter Rising commemorative GAA tops, Celtic/ROI football shorts. You know what I never saw? A single Rangers shirt. Why is that? The cold house. Just like the South after partition. You can be a Unionist, so long as you shut up and comply.
