@rtenews Let’s hope it is a useless incompetent Taoiseach

Taoiseach Micheál Martin last night received a standing ovation for his opening address - but could this be his last Ard Fheis as party leader? rte.ie/news/analysis-…

@PeterSmartpower @rtenews Probably would be

@rtenews Mainstream media and the leftist class would go berserk if migrants were put into accommodation like this.

Residents of one of Dublin's oldest flat complexes fear they are being left in unsafe and deteriorating conditions after long-promised regeneration plans were delayed rte.ie/news/primetime…

@rtenews As if. The government care. Another Cost living crisis

Delegates at the Communications Workers' Union conference in Sligo have unanimously backed an emergency motion calling for Government action on the cost-of-living crisis as well as statutory collective bargaining rights for workers rte.ie/news/2026/0514…

@griptmedia This should for the homeless of this country not asylum seekers

The Department has confirmed it bought dozens of homes for asylum accommodation at a cost of €9.2 million, but communities are still not being told where the properties are or whether more local placements are planned. gript.ie/communities-le…

@brianmcgovern8 @Niall_Boylan Definitely

@Niall_Boylan Ridiculous decision. And I also say Ireland should play their matches against Israel. Keep politics out of sport and music.

Also coming up on the show live at 12pm: Ireland decided last year to boycott the Eurovision Song Contest because of Israel’s participation. RTÉ has also decided not to broadcast the hugely popular song contest. A petition has now been set up by Graham Linehan, co-creator of Father Ted, demanding that RTÉ apologise and that the Director General resign over the decision. Linehan claims this is antisemitism and says RTÉ should not be getting involved in politics. Is he right? Others agree with RTÉ and say Ireland should stand up against what it believes is wrong. Where do you stand on this decision? Are RTÉ overstepping the mark, or are they right to take a stand? Comments to WhatsApp 085 100 22 55

@IrishTimes Can you get any more incompetent

Fianna Fáil ‘made a difference’ in housing, Taoiseach says irishtimes.com/politics/2026/…

@JohnMcC90714914 @rtenews Everyone in the government are incompetent

@rtenews 🙈🙈they spend €100,000s on bike sheds, have no idea what the NCH is actually going to cost they’re even spending €3 million on a temporary train station for a week, who believes any Irish Gov can budget properly

The Cabinet is to discuss implementing stricter spending curbs on Government departments ahead of October's Budget with fresh sanctions for overspending departments rte.ie/news/politics/…

@rtenews Useless prick

@Toibin1 Please send all home for good

Ireland has been generous to the tune of billions of euro in our support for Ukranians. We fulfiled our responsibility to provide supports to people fleeing war. That the Gov is now going to pay people to return home does not does sit well. newstalk.com/podcasts/highl…

@Niall_Boylan Using taxpayer money ffs

Also on the show live after 12pm: The Justice Minister has suggested the Government may offer Ukrainians a cash lump sum to return home voluntarily as part of a new scheme aimed at reducing long-term costs to the taxpayer. Supporters say it’s a humane and practical idea that could help families rebuild their lives back in Ukraine while easing pressure on housing and public services here. Others say the proposal is completely absurd. Critics argue that if refugees or asylum seekers are willing to go home for a lump sum of cash from the Irish taxpayer, then perhaps they were never truly fleeing danger in the first place. At a time when many Irish people are struggling with rent, mortgages and the cost of living, should taxpayers really be funding cash incentives for people to leave the country? Would you support a lump sum payment scheme if it saved Ireland money in the long run, or is this another example of a Government completely out of touch with ordinary people?

@rtenews Just send them home ffs

Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan has said while there will be a mechanism to encourage Ukrainian people to return to their homeland, he will not make any announcement yet about a repatriation payment. rte.ie/news/2026/0510…

@thejournal_ie Send them permanently

The Minister for Justice has said he is considering a scheme which would offer payments to Ukrainian refugees who return to their home country. jrnl.ie/7035919

@RobCarryBray @dublincomments @nealerichmond Another traitor in the government

Struggling to keep your business afloat? Choosing between home heating oil and food? Living in homeless accommodation? Well, at least you can console yourself with the fact that Fine Gael's @nealerichmond will give away €840 million of your money to other countries this year. That's twice what we spent on fuel allowance last year. It's roughly equivalent to its entire budget for SNAs country wide. To my mind, that money belongs to the Irish people - to our kids, our sick, our elderly, our homeless. Giving it away to other countries should be considered economic treason.

@sachalebreton @HMcEntee She cares the Ukraines than her own people in this country

@HMcEntee I can’t believe my taxes go towards paying her wages 🤦‍♂️

Yesterday, I brought a motion before the Dáil to support Ireland joining the international claims commission for Ukraine 🇮🇪🇺🇦 This is about accountability for the damage and suffering caused by Russia’s illegal invasion. 🧵

@SantaQ17Return @HMcEntee @dfatirl And she’s completely incompetent

@HMcEntee @dfatirl The sooner you're voted out the better! You're a traitor to the Irish!

Today we celebrate Europe Day. 🇪🇺 A timely opportunity for Ireland to celebrate our place in Europe and reflect on the benefits of EU membership ahead of our Presidency of the Council of the European Union commencing on 1 July 2026. 🇮🇪🤝🇪🇺 Beannachtaí Lá na hEorpa oraibh!

@thejournal_ie Useless incompetent bitch

A €127,000 bike shed at a Kerry hospital “went through proper guidelines”, the defence minister has said. Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty called the comment "tone-deaf" and accused the government of being “serial wasters of public money”. jrnl.ie/7033162

@Gael_Force_ @HMcEntee Definitely

@HMcEntee You’re a hooked nose liar and rocking back on forth like a mental patient doesn’t make us believe your bs either.

Earlier in the Dáil during Leaders’ Questions, I spoke about the supports we’ve put in place to help people with the rising cost of living.

@rtenews Definitely

The building of a bicycle shelter costing €127,000 at University Hospital Kerry is a "pure waste" and another slap in the face to families who are at breaking point, Sinn Féin has said rte.ie/news/politics/…
