If you’re not familiar with the Dunnes Stores strike: a group of working class Dublin women refused to handle South African fruit in Ireland’s main grocery chain and were suspended. They went on strike for 3 whole years, until Ireland banned South African fruit imports. Nelson Mandela himself recognized these women.
So if you want to know why people in Ireland are quite critical of Israel, think back to this.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani namechecked James Connolly, Pádraig Pearse and Roger Casement in his St Patrick’s Day message. Mamdani also referenced the Dunnes Stores strike against apartheid South Africa, as well as Troy Parrott’s winner over Hungary. jrnl.ie/6988066

Nepal has elected its first trans Member of Parliament. Like other Asian countries, Nepal recognises a third gender for people who do not fit neatly into male/man or female/women. The idea that gender can be fluid or non-binary is not a new or western idea. It has been around for millennia and exists in many cultures

☘️This day, beneath a sky washed in green, I stood in Galway watching Saint Patrick’s Day unfold, not as a parade, but as a living memory of a people who remember who they are. I smiled for a long time, quietly, almost in disbelief. Yet my smile carried the weight of another place. Before me, a nation moved as one: artists, communities, universities, voices—each different, yet bound in a single rhythm. It was not performance, but belonging made visible. A people who endured the long shadow of occupation, and still rose, patiently,to shape dignity out of memory. And as I watched, I saw Palestine. I imagined our streets. Our people. Our voices rising together, not under siege, but in freedom. I asked myself, almost in a whisper: will we one day stand like this? With this unity, this sovereignty, this unbroken sense of belonging? How alike these two peoples are, the Irish and the Palestinian, each carrying history carved by struggle, each refusing to lose themselves. Galway continues to move me. Today, I stood at the very back of the crowd, unable to see. And then, a small moment that felt immense, a woman from security recognised me. She took my hand and guided me forward through the crowd. People stepped aside, not reluctantly, but with a warmth I cannot explain. When she told them I was a Palestinian journalist, they welcomed me as if I were already known. There are moments when kindness feels almost sacred. For the Irish, this day is celebration. For me, it became something else, A quiet, growing desire to belong. To share in their joy and their memory. And somewhere within me, between what I carry and what I hope, one question remains: Will we, too, one day stand like this? May Ireland remain in peace and dignity 🇮🇪☘️🇵🇸 #patrikda #galway #irlanda🇮🇪 #irland #patrik_day

It’s telling that @BeneavinCollege invited the face of the Irish fisher price fascists to talk to their students. Parents need to ask themselves if they are happy sending their kids to an “Ireland is Full” supporting school.

@amonsterd I wonder was he let go from Indo. Last column was Aug 2025.

Pretty disgusting that the Indo would employ such a vile creature

This is stark evidence of how normalised far-right rhetoric has become in our mainstream media. A @Independent_ie columnist calling the rainbow and trans pride flag “paedophile flag[s]”, and framing LGBT people as legitimate targets for “local paedophile hunters”. Repulsive.

@TwittterMachine @jacknolan__ @Independent_ie I'm sure you're right, I used the term "employ" loosely but the point is a national newspaper should not associate with such a bigot

@amonsterd @jacknolan__ @Independent_ie I expect he's a freelancer like many in media such as in RTE, easier to offload when they want and they can (dishonestly) avoid meeting legal requirements of employment

Gerry Adams states in court the British are ignorant of Irish history and he's right.
He is being sued in a civil case in London for not telling anyone he was in The IRA.No doubt we will soon see a Mariachi band march down Falls Road with banners reading "Ask Me If I Was in the IRA."
Why should he bend ?Here'sNo court has ever proved he is guilty. One of the chief witnesses in the current case has admitted he never met Adams.
He has apologised and met IRA victims. The British have continued to drum roll their imperialist ambition (rather small, think Falklands)
The imperial power never understood why the Irish could not understand all about Britain.
Today in all schools, local, British and world history are on the curruculum but the pupil has options not to take any class.
The paltry British history that is taught is about great battles (Waterloo, Trafalgar, Culloden, Spanish Armada, Hastings 1066. Bosworth Field. There is very little teaching of The Famine, the single most catastrophic disaster in all of Europe in the 19th century.
There are far more serious issues than whether or not Adams was in and out of the IRA.
The Glenanne gang, composed of rogue RUC, army paramilitary and MI5 agents killed in the region of 120 innocent Catholics mostly around mid Northern Ireland. How about a proper inquiry into that disgrace and stop wasting everyone's time,. Innocent victims during The Troubles need to know the truth

What I need Irish people to understand is if even they find Irish-Americans annoying, misinformed, etc the love and loyalty they feel to Ireland is very real. Like Ireland could go to war tomorrow and the Irish-Americans would try to enlist

@WallStreetApes We Irish do not speak of "foreigners" or "native Irish". We are the land of one hundred thousand welcomes. Welcome to all except racist yanks. Fuck off

This is the most depressing St. Patrick's Day in Ireland history
It’s just a bunch of foreigners and almost no native Irish
Disgusting
