@keira_con Name the restaurant? Would like to follow up on this. Was it in Craughwell?

I think the present government has destroyed the relationship between the public and the Garda Síochána for good, Having a late lunch in a resturant and four members of the guards walked in three males and a woman. Suddenly the place went quiet, they were seated, Other customers and staff looking at them. Their order was taken and shortly after the owner or manager went and asked them very politely to leave the premises as they were not welcome, that their presence was upsetting other customers and would they inform their colleagues they are not welcome either, As they walked out the door tail between their legs people clapped and cheered it was surreal.

Help needed Our bike for bringing our daughter about was stolen in Phibsboro last night - it's an orange e-cargo bike. A camera from a neighbours house shows it was two young enough lads that stole it. Most grateful if anyone spots it if they could DM me

❌ Simon: "No one has any agenda against Arsenal!" 😡 Martin: "That's where you're wrong! That's naive! Who's naive now!?" Simon Jordan and Martin Keown get heated over the coverage of #AFC's title tilt in the media! 🔥 Shots fired at @AndyGoldstein05 here... 👀

@watch_lega For a ‘legal watch’ it’s clear you don’t have the facts right at all.

Teacher Enoch Burke was arrested and detained after refusing to comply with a school directive requiring him to use specific pronouns for a student. The detention followed repeated court orders enforcing compliance with an internal school policy. This case is not about ideology. It is about lawful authority, proportionality, and constitutional limits. ⸻ 1. Potential violations of law Freedom of expression •Irish Constitution, Article 40.6.1 •European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), Article 10 ➡ Compelled speech by a public authority is a recognized violation unless strictly necessary and proportionate. ➡ A school directive is not legislation and does not override constitutional rights. ⸻ Freedom of conscience and religion •Irish Constitution, Article 44 •ECHR, Article 9 ➡ The state must remain neutral in matters of belief. ➡ Punishing an individual for refusal to affirm ideological language may constitute unlawful interference. ⸻ Abuse of judicial enforcement •Principle of proportionality (Irish & EU law) ➡ Imprisonment is an exceptional measure. ➡ Detention for non-violent, non-criminal speech-related conduct raises serious proportionality concerns. ⸻ 2. Legal responsibility of authorities School administration •Exceeded contractual authority by issuing speech mandates not grounded in statute. Judiciary •Courts are bound to assess: •necessity •proportionality •least restrictive means Failure to do so may engage: •judicial misconduct review •constitutional appeal •ECHR litigation against the state ⸻ 3. Possible legal consequences For the State / Judiciary: •Constitutional appeal •European Court of Human Rights claim •Damages for unlawful detention •Reputational and institutional harm For public officials: •Disciplinary review •Oversight by judicial councils •Parliamentary scrutiny ⸻ Conclusion A democratic legal system does not punish dissent by coercion. When courts enforce ideology instead of law, the rule of law itself is at risk. This case sets a precedent — either for constitutional protection, or for state-compelled speech.

@LOICentralPod A glass of beer???? 😂😂

@UsmaanTalkUTD @SkySportsNews Would have more respect for you if you told Sherwood he’s only a cunt

Me cooking INEOS live on @SkySportsNews for 2 minutes. Enjoy. #MUFC #INEOSOUT

@terrychristian P2. Martial, waster. Fred, nice guy not good enough. Lingard ‘beanz’, enough said. So we are racist if we don’t think that bunch were Up to the standards we had expected for years under SAF

@terrychristian What a cunt of a comment. But let’s go through the names you mentioned, Pogba talented but didn’t do enough at Utd despite all his own noise. Amorim banished Rashford, he’s white, was that racist or is it just the Irish who agreed with Ruben. P1

Mate - there's a certain type of United fan in Ireland that always seems to have a problem with any United player with a 'brown skin' . Pogba, Rashford, Martial, Fred, Lingard. You folk see a different game
