It isn’t just Iranian bot operations. All week Irish social media has been flooded with bots, masquerading as Irish patriots, completely distorting the information landscape. The weaponisation of information is a problem we cannot afford to ignore.

See this is why this fuel protest is doomed for failure They’ve allowed it to be taken over by these racist grifters They couldn’t give a toss about the price of fuel

@fiannafailparty You're right, dragging you lot out of Leinster house and stringing you off a gallows would be much better......but this is still a good start!

⛽🚫 Blocking ports, fuel depots and public transport is not the way to make your point. We understand the pressures people are under - and we've responded with the most significant support package in Europe. 🇪🇺 I'm asking protesters to de-escalate now. 🙏

@culladgh Aren't you the same person who was slandering a bereaved partner of a murdered woman a few weeks ago?

@conorleeson Here's a fella who loves a good oul 'united Ireland' or a 'brits out, everyone else in' rally. Gets €250 a week from the government so he can wave Palestinian flags off an overpass rather than work. Wears drag at weekends and grooms kids in libraries.

This is the kind of chap who'd love an oul' "Ireland Says No" or "Ireland Is Full" protest... be careful who & what you support - find out who's really behind it and see who's cheering it on the loudest. #gript #farright #independentireland #fash

Organiser John Dallon says blockades & protests will end if Government agrees to meeting ‘today or tomorrow’ ‘Government rather than protesters are to blame for shutting Dublin’ & he says earlier comments from Ministers were ‘disrespectful’ Delegation of 4 ready for any meeting

This idiot does not represent any recognised group of people. And yet he seems to be holding Dublin City to ransom. Where is the Garda Public Unit? Is it not illegal to block traffic?

'It's the government that's blocking the place up now, because it's their refusal to treat us with any sort of respect. If we get a call that they're giving us a meeting, this stops immediately'. 🚫Dublin City Centre is at a standstill this morning as motorists continue their fuel protests for a second day. 🚜Delays on the road can be expected across the country, with yesterday's disruptions being dubbed as a "practice round" by one protester. 🗣️Speaking to Newstalk's @JoshCrosbie3, Agricultural Contractor Chris Duffy said "all the government have to do" is give the protesters "a meeting" and the disruption "stops immediately". 📻For more updates, tune in to Newstalk.

Blocking O'Connell Street for ordinary workers and computers is not the way for #hauliers and farmers to get public support. Quite the opposite

Covid didn’t break medicine. It exposed what medicine had become. Doctors trained to follow orders—not think. So when it mattered most, too many didn’t stand up for the patient in front of them. That’s the real crisis.

In 1987 Ray Bourke, the corrupt Fianna Fáil minister sold out the entire nation of Irish people. He gave away all our natural resources. The net effect is that big oil companies: • Owns 100% of the oil and gas they find under Irish waters; • pay no royalties to the Irish State; • can write off 100% of their costs to tax; • profits taxed at 25% (international average is 68% ); • can export it outside Ireland; • can choose whether or not to sell the gas back to Bord Gáis at full market rates. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse outcome. We need leaders who actually love Ireland and will get our oil back. New terms will be agreed. Éire 2040: The Atlantic Republic 🇮🇪

Enoch Burke is in prison for violating a court order to stay away from the school grounds, not for refusing to use “they/them” pronouns. He is not a religious hero. The lack of support from the Churches should make that clear. Don’t let bias prevent you from recognising facts.

Bill Gates is calling for biometric digital IDs to be tied directly to your bank account and payment systems so they can monitor your health, track farmers, and manage climate policy. That is exactly the kind of centralized control free people are supposed to reject. When your identity, your money, and your daily life are all linked in one system, you are no longer free. #wakeup

I discussed the priorities of Ireland’s EU Presidency in the second half of this year with Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense of Ireland Helen McEntee. For Ukraine, it is very important that the principle of opening clusters for a country that fulfils its obligations finally starts to work. I provided a detailed briefing on the results of my visits to countries in the Middle East and the protection system that Ukraine proposed there. We are ready to work in the same format with European partners, both on a bilateral basis and within the SAFE instrument. In all dimensions, Europe must be protected, and Ukrainian expertise can make a significant contribution to security. I thank Ireland for all its support – military, humanitarian, and energy-related. I am personally grateful to Helen McEntee for taking part in the Bucha Summit, which took place yesterday, on the fourth anniversary of the liberation of Bucha from Russian occupiers.

@newstart_2024 @Colieg133742 Divide & conquer, or, more accurately, divide & rule. Polarise everything from abortion to immigration so you force people to choose a side rather than take diplomatic middle ground.

Truth is now considered a right-wing conspiracy. That’s the chilling line from Melanie Phillips that stopped me in my tracks. She explains how we’ve reached a point where simply stating observable reality — whether it’s basic biology defining a woman or pushing back against blanket accusations that all white people are inherently bad — gets you branded as evil. Not wrong. Evil. Therefore you must be silenced, cancelled, or erased. No debate. No evidence allowed. She calls it cultural totalitarianism: a Manichean worldview where one ideology claims a monopoly on goodness, progress, and reason itself. Dissent isn’t argued with — it’s treated as a moral threat that has to be removed. The deepest irony? In an era that smugly ditched religion in the name of superior rationality, we’ve ended up rejecting reason, evidence, and open inquiry altogether. We’re so “rational” we’ve dispensed with the very tools of rationality. It doesn’t add up. Her take has me wondering how we got here — and how quickly disagreement turned into moral excommunication. Anyone else seeing this pattern play out in conversations lately? Where have you felt truth itself become off-limits?
