I haven't read or listened to one word on the formation of a "new" government. Pointless.

@EoinLenihan @DavQuinn They'll seek out the cutest hoors among them who care nothing about the bigger issues.

@Righdearna @FiaMor115 @ColmanOfGuaire I'm from Kilkenny. Knowledge of the Catholic Confederacy is scant. In 1860 the Council demolished the old Confederacy hall to make an entrance to the market. They knew what they were doing... would be among the most historic buildings if still standing.

Or how about compulsory Yeats & Keats, compulsory John Milton & Dickens, compulsory Edmund Spenser & John Milton (all of whom were on the core English syllabus in my day)? "But, but... these authors are part of muh objective western canon!" Says who exactly? Not me, a chara.

@KeithMillsD7 Compulsory Irish, my foot. What about compulsory English, or compulsory maths? The bigots who are against the Irish language should be straight and explain why they want the central component of our native culture erased.

"The most common error of all statesmen is to believe firmly there exists at any one moment a solution to every problem. There are in some periods problems to which no solution exists." De Gaulle in 1958 (p.519).

"My preoccupation is the fact that online there is an effort day in, day out to convince you your government works against you and to spread misinformation" Another cringe video from the TikTok Tánaiste at a school in Co. Louth. He is paranoid the "far-right" are corrupting the young minds of Ireland.

70% of property bought in Dublin in 2023 was bought by foreigners. 46% paid in cash. Ireland's property market is an international money laundering haven. Ireland is the only country in the EU without restrictions on foreign purchases of property. owenreilly.ie/wp-content/upl…

Varadkar says farmers are parasites. Fine Gael heads can't utter a word in contradiction, just talk about the 750 million package. Everything you need to know about Irish politics. #RTETWIP
