#OnThisDay 1918 Constance Markievicz née Gore-Booth became the first woman elected to the UK House of Commons, though she was imprisoned in Holloway Prison at the time. As a Sinn Féin candidate, she did not take her seat in Westminster but in the Dáil instead. #Ireland #History

We must never forget how the world unconditionally backed Israel while Gaza was being viciously erased. Netanyahu dropped bombs that shredded Palestinian children - and got a standing ovation in Congress for it.

Not sustainable.

Opinion The lists goes on and on....thousands of payments👇🏻 Dublin City Council is trapped in an upward spiral of spending. All it is doing is subsidising private profiteers while perpetuating the homeless crisis because actual house-building is caught up in red tape and objections. This is totally unsustainable. Few realise the amount of leverage baked into the system: these properties are heavily mortgaged, using Govt contracts as collateral. The Govt. must know that if they pull the plug, there will be a cascade of defaults. But if they don't, it lets providers borrow and buy more to inflate the bubble further. This entire scheme is driving up rents, hotel prices and of property prices for everyone. But worst of all..... its driving up taxes to pay for it!!! How many beds does Banty own? I estimate the McEnaney family are paid at least €100million a year all in. That would mean somewhere north of 3000 beds. To put that into perspective IRES REIT, Ireland's largest landlord, has about 5000 beds and is valued at €1.3billion....the only difference Banty doesn't need planning permission! How are serious people standing by and watching this unfold? Link to docs: dublincity.ie/council/govern…

Dublin City Council has spent €455,000,000 in the first 9 months of 2025. 37% or €168,000,000 goes to private hotels/landlords for emergency accommodation. Thats almost 4 in every 10 euros. Here are the top 10 paid companies.....🧵

@paddycosgrave Very best of luck with the venture Paddy I will be calling in for a visit next time I’m Home

Books starting to arrive. More artwork and sign installed. Starting to look 🔥 Anyone want to take a peak before it opens? Was thinking of extending the free coffees for whistleblowers to troublemakers & students in general, or maybe €2?

They want us to become a cashless society. They want us to tap tap tap. But what happens when the tap runs dry? 🤔

Maith sibh, gents! Been to many gigs by many bands down the years but the greatest of them all was the mighty @wolfetones at The Swan in Stockwell in May 1998 - on the day Celtic stopped the ten 🇮🇪 Unbelievable gig, unbelievable atmosphere Hope to catch ye again next summer!

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael also aims to redistribute your wealth - particularly if you’re elderly, vulnerable, live with dementia or Alzheimer’s, and rely on a blister pack to help regulate your essential medication - they really, really want to redistribute your wealth.

If I worked in the insurance racket I’d geo locate vehicles and add a surcharge every time a customer drove into the @TescoIrl car park in Carrick on Shannon. It’s always wacky races stuff here but on a filthy dark night like tonight it’s fender bender bonanza time 🚗 🚗 💵

Constance Markievicz becomes first woman elected to Westminster 107 years ago today and refuses to take her seat. RIP “I am pledged to a free and independent republic, a workers republic.”

Grace Gifford died 70 years ago today. RIP “Oh Grace just hold me in your arms and let this moment linger...”

At 78, Eugene Reavey has had enough of the delays in his legacy case. Three of his brothers were murdered in 1976 in Co Armagh. 50th anniversary is next month.

RUC fired from armoured car mounted machine gun on housing complex of flats, killing 9 year old child. No RUC member was ever even disciplined. Took the British 56 years to settle and apologise. The British hid their accountability for the Troubles using Deny, Delay, Deflect.
