@vonderleyen It’s not a loan it’s a handout.

Ukraine's needs remain as urgent as ever. Our EU 90 bn loan is providing vital funding for budgetary and defence needs. We are integrating our defence industries. We are investing in Ukraine’s drone production. And we are associating Ukraine to our 🇪🇺 Drone Defence and Air Shield projects. So the EU is tackling this head-on.

@MichealMartinTD @EPCArmenia @NikolPashinyan Energy security? While selling off and shutting down energy infrastructure 🤦🏼‍♂️

Significant agenda at today’s EPC meeting in Yerevan. It is an important forum for a cohesive European approach to important issues, including energy security, EU enlargement and tackling drug smuggling.

@rtenews The most unqualified finance minister Ireland ever had. Self appointed with zero credibility He is the true embodiment of failing your way to the top

Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris is to discuss the economic impact of the ongoing war in the Middle East at a two-day summit of EU finance ministers, which begins later today rte.ie/news/politics/…

Housing supply massively increasing across Ireland

@taxidamien Can’t understand why they do this, it looks ridiculous.

Ever notice when political shysters are giving an interview there's always a couple of latchicos nodding away behind them 🙄

@IrishTimesOpEd She won’t , she has already proved that.

Breda O'Brien: How will Catherine Connolly represent those beyond her own ideological orbit? irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/0…

@vortexEire @thejournal_ie I never said what I support, I was stating the obvious that the place is full of criminals. Regardless doesn’t matter what I think I don’t have a vote in that constituency

@MrX2f @thejournal_ie Good to hear that you don't support voting another one then.

Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch has said he plans to return to Ireland from Lanzarote in the coming days to officially register as a candidate in the Dublin Central by-election. jrnl.ie/7023400

@thejournal_ie Just a engineer on his way to work

A 27-year-old man was arrested for carrying a flick-knife after a stand-off with armed gardaí at a Dublin shop and a confrontation amid claims of a stabbing. Afghan national Nasim Sulemankhil appeared in court charged with unlawful possession of a knife jrnl.ie/7023821t

@vortexEire @thejournal_ie The Dàil is full of criminals

@thejournal_ie The world has seen what happens in America when you elect criminals. We won't make the same mistake here.

@mullallyelaine It’s not a loan , that media spin. No interest rates, no collateral, no repayment date

While Ireland is in an energy crisis, our “leader” is welcoming a € 90 billion loan to Ukraine for its energy infrastructure!! please make it make sense!

@Paschald We want our 10 million back

At #FfDForum: this is a moment of reckoning. The Middle East crisis is worsening the global outlook—especially for low-income countries. Country ownership of reform is essential. W/ initiatives like Water Forward, partnerships turn ambition into impact: tinyurl.com/3anu5hux

Scary. Protests involved elements of the far right and saw gardai and fuel tanks drivers – and their families – threatened and intimidated. The opposition then dismissed the enormous financial package as nowhere near enough. What amount would suffice? A billion euro? Two billion?

@Ben_Scallan They can’t finish a hospital or even get a sod turned on the metro. The public don’t want to be gaslighted into another never ending money pit.

1. He's absolutely correct that it wouldn't be popular. He's totally right. 2. Unpopular things can become popular if you make a persuasive argument for them. So why don't we at least have the conversation.

Income tax, USC, PRSI, BIK, VAT, CAT, DIRT, VRT, CGT, Carbon tax, road tolls, property tax, motor tax, tax on credit cards, tax on banking, unrealised gains tax, sugar tax, plastic bag levy, customs duties, excise duty. We are being extorted by our own government.

@DarraghOBrienTD Meanwhile ESB made €636 million profit in 2025 and €705 million in 2024

Poll: Do you agree or disagree with Leo Varadkar's comments on rural Ireland? jrnl.ie/7017515

@lawlor_aine Watch no financial measures come in for home heating oil at all and nobody will avail of plug in solar. Just more waffle

@Jklunden Excuse my naivety but will that not become the same under a different name.

This is what must happen.

@griptmedia And that ladies and gentlemen is why Ireland is where it is today.

"[Farmers] still see themselves as the people who bring money and jobs into Ireland, where actually a lot of the time they bring costs on Ireland...[Urban Ireland] are the ones paying all the bills", Varadkar said: gript.ie/varadkar-says-…
