@EoinLenihan @MichaelC_IND_TD Its simple maths, Ireland's population increased 78k last year (59k net migrants). Unless immigrants start arriving like turtles or snails with homes on their backs, 🐢🐌🏠they're only making the housing crisis worse. Slash inward migration, the crisis eases overnight

@danobrien20 Such economically illiterate gibberish, but to be expected with: Sally Rooney is a novelist (who writes fiction)

@Ben_Scallan Add in last year's budget, with feck all for the taxpayers who pay for everything, and instead the massive surplus being squandered, with insane amounts spent/provided for shite like IPAS and the Migration pact

We're not dealing with an isolated cock-up here or there - there's a clearly identifiable pattern of consistently underestimating how unpopular certain things are with the public. There's obviously a lack of understanding among senior politicians as to how certain things come across to the median voter. A sample of things Government has badly misread the room on in recent years: - Hate speech legislation (expended huge political capital trying to get it passed and ultimately had to abandon the speech element entirely - Regina Doherty, when she was leader of the Seanad, said she'd never received so much negative correspondence about a piece of legislation in her political career) - Family and care referendum (lost comprehensively, biggest defeat margin for a referendum in the history of the State) - Immigration (had to radically change their policies and rhetoric after years of sustained protests) - Blocking Maria Steen for the Presidency (backfired horribly, caused both Government parties to bomb in the election, historically awful result that led to unprecedented vote spoilage nationwide) - Running Jim Gavin (self-explanatory) And now, most recently, the fuel protests. And that's all in just a couple of short years, all in quick succession, one after another. You can't look at that and tell me it's not a pattern.

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times but by god @kenoflynnTD is on absolute fire last few weeks. An absolute rock of sense and really in touch with the people of this country. A true leader I’d stand with him any day

Hamid rejects the premise “that a minority community’s right to be in the United States depends on its willingness to converge with the cultural mainstream.” Implicit in that is a rejection of the idea that Americans have a right to set conditions that those who wish to move to this country must satisfy. That’s a rejection of sovereignty itself—one that no Muslim state in the world would ever abide by.

@danobrien20 I suspect most of this is from the increasing volume of offices being foreclosed and sold with massive writedowns in US, which has made it viable to convert. Unless there are massive writedowns on offices here, it wont work, especially with Irish stds for residential construction

@ed_fin Sound, will keep you posted when I open it, (might have to change my drinking order a bit 😂) I always have my nice wines with good beef, never lamb, for some reason I have a reaction in my mouth to lamb as well as cilantro/coriander!!

@MarkDoherty4 Both are going to be on the lighter side. I would drink the 2003 Palmer first, but with sth not too overbearing food wise (no lamb etc) Have never tried the 07. (I basically live next door)

@ed_fin Thanks Ed, sounds like I should indulge in at least of 1 of my 2007s very soon and keep the 2001 for a special occassion, thoughts on 2003 Pape Clement and 2007 Palmer?

Thank you, everyone, for your support. Over the last 2.5 years I have expressed on this platform what are firmly considered to be moderate, centrist views by international standards. Unfortunately, the Overton window has shifted in this country to such a degree that centrist views on Israel/Palestine are considered verboten and anti-Israel extremism, of even the most vicious kind, is normalised. Despite relentless, obsessive attacks, including daily defamation and abuse at the beginning of the year by a well-known politician operating behind an anonymous account, I have always endeavoured to express my sincerely held views in a reasoned, honest manner, and engage politely with those with whom I even vehemently disagree. I have never once - not once - resorted to an ad hominem attack against anyone despite being on the receiving end of them daily for 2.5 years. This account is one I have had since I was a teenager, and going all the way back to 2012 you will not find one single post of me cursing let alone any sort of personal attack against anyone’s looks, family, or identity. I believe in the democratic right of freedom of expression and the principle of open and respectful dialogue across ideological divides. At this point, this is a principle that Irish society cannot claim it holds. I have an open offer to write for the Sunday Independent and do not feel safe doing so for fear of intense backlash. Our media establishment has propagated a wholly one-sided, morally narcissistic view of Israel/Palestine for so long that any slight deviation from that narrative is treated as suspect at best and traitorous at worst. The Irish Left specifically, who hold complete institutional and cultural power, cannot tolerate any difference of opinion and resorts to harassment and intimidation of anyone who puts a toe out of line. I will continue to politely express my views on this platform, as I am entitled to do. I should be able to do so without fear of endless abuse or threats of violence. Instead of posturing on international matters, Irish society should take a moment to look inward and reflect on why such behaviour is now normalised in this country against anyone who doesn’t abide by the groupthink on a range of issues.

A ”New Reality” cause by leftist elites and parasitic IPAS owners and NGO’s. The Irish people NEVER asked for this “New Reality”. Every illegal immigrant should be fucked straight out of the country. Every immigrant on welfare should be fucked straight out of the country. Every immigrant that is a net loss to the tax payer should be fucked straight out of the country. Every immigrant that will not integrate into Irish society and culture should be fucked straight out of the country. It doesn’t matter what colour, religion, sexuality, nationality or ethnicity, the Irish tax payer does NOT owe you a home or a living.

@laoisedebrun @IrishTimes @PatLeahyIT At least you now know that the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre collects data on the ethicity/nationality of perpetrators. Whilst they have previously publicly stated ~85% of victims are Irish, they have never released their data on perpetrators. Perhaps now???

I was delighted to be interviewed by the @IrishTimes political correspondent Ellen Coyne after @PatLeahyIT the political editor kindly suggested Ellen cover the second event of the Women’s Coalition on Immigration which is now a cross-party group. Forgive the screenshot, I haven’t seen it on the @IrishTimes feed yet. Thanks so much @IrishTimes for helping us highlight this important issue. Our thematic report into official criminal statistics of six EU member states found that non-national men were over represented by a factor of four in sexual offending. As you concur by selecting three of those countries but bring in socio economic factors but these hardly matter to the victims of rape…? We do not know if our own data correlates. What we do know, according to the Court Service, is that the use of interpreters by defendants in the Criminal Courts has risen 4,700%. The heading below says that we are “claiming a link” but when I say “anecdotally it would appear” that is what I mean. When I say a random sample of six countries showed a correlation, that is what I mean. Nothing more nothing less. So if Ireland is somehow an outlier when it comes to these correlations then that will be evident in our own data. That is why we must #ReleaseIrishCrimeData

@fatima_gunning Should have been detained when they got of the plane and sent straight back on the next flight to the states. Here nearly a year now, so at the average cost of each asylum application they will have cost the state just over 100k so far, claiming asylum from the US, mental stuff!

€30,000. That's how much an Indian family who only arrived in Ireland 3 years ago can get from the Irish government to help purchase a house. Irish people are literally going to work to fund our replacements. It's time to wake up folks, seriously.
