In the history of our island there is no more traumatic event than the Great Famine.
At the National Famine Commemoration today, it is my honour as Taoiseach to pay respects to every person lost in Ireland during the Famine.

Javier Bardem speaks out in #Cannes on toxic masculinity:
"That problem also goes to Trump, Putin and Netanyahu... the big balls man saying 'my cock is bigger than yours and I'm going to bomb the shit out of you' is a f*cking male toxic behavior that is creating thousands of dead people."

My unfashionable view is that a united Ireland would be progressive as it would (re-)create a larger variegated polity, by quite a big percentage, while Scottish and Welsh indepedendence would be negative by creating two micro-states and turning England further inwards.

@griptmedia Unfortunately women are too significant in the whole trans movement beiing allies and pandering to these men.
English
Irish campaigners have described the Australian Federal Court ruling which said that a biological male person was discriminated against when kicked-off a female-only app as a “devastating result for women”.

@RayMcAdam Whenever Irish politicians get involved in a situation they make it worse, 1mill migrants in 10 years and they'll make it better, yeah right.

I will work to ensure more homes for people and families in Dublin Central.
Next Friday, vote Ray McAdam No.1.

@Independent_ie I've more respect for the politicians looking to enrich themselves than those selling out the country.

Bertie Ahern interview: ‘I reject racism in all its forms... but it’s a sad day if you’re jumped on for talking about immigration’

@BevanTrisha @BrigidLaffan I see racism everywhere, China's hardly known for it's diversity but you can't criticise that, oh the dilema.

@BrigidLaffan Also not one person of colour on the American side.

This is a remarkable photograph-not a woman in sight. China & US -not a single woman in the room.

@JakesOlasupo @brianboru01 @irishexaminer 😂😂 The fact they want to come here and live off the tax payer, clown.

@brianboru01 @irishexaminer Irish people are third worlders too. What makes you think your world is superior to others?

A pleasure to welcome the Prime Minister of Barbados, @miaamormottley, to Government Buildings.
The opening of the new Barbados Embassy in Dublin marks a significant milestone in our enduring historical ties and our growing economic partnership.

@paulquinn79 @terrychristian For some reason he seems more motivated to stay at broke ass barca, hopefully it works out that way, calling everyone racist, tories and whatever other insult is in your handbook doesn't changed his performances for utd bar 1 or 2 seasons.

@terrychristian I can’t comment on what you’ve replied with, I watch a players commitment, his effort levels, off the pitch conduct, fans I speak to hate everything I’ve mentioned, I couldn’t care what colour he is, put effort in, be committed for the shirt, if you’re not get the hell out
English
He gets hate from some so-called United fans because
1. Some are racist twats
2. Some easily influenced by Tory press to hate on him for making Boris Johnson look the callous lying oaf he is and making him feed the kids
3. Some are too dim to see the nuances, ie poor form = downing tools , Looked to me like the whole team have downed tools at times
Paul Quinn@paulquinn79
@terrychristian He gets hate from United fans because: 1. He is incredibly inconsistent 2. He downed tools, lacked any reasonable effort, missed training, had numerous disciplinary issues at United before he left. 3. His worst season was the season after he signed his big money deal.
English
@Iskesullas The only way to get an honest answer from a politician is if they think its off the record but there's nothing wron with anything he said except his stance on the Ukrainian economic migrants. If you want to be surrounded by Africans perhaps consider moving there.
English
Ahern pandering to an 'Ireland is full' racist on the doorsteps and not copping on she was recording him for far-right social media content. 🙄 I'd happily welcome more people from Africa, and deport Ahern and his crooked cronies.

@IrishTimesOpEd IT thinks we're stupid, we know where our money goes and that's why people are so fucked off, HSE waste, ngo's, ipas, foreign aid, EU fines & an ever expanding socialist government all trying to fend off the left it's never ending.

'I have a black work colleague, so I am not racist'
'My cousin is gay, so I am not homophobic'.
'I met a Palestinian once, so I am not a genocide supporter'
'I have a friend who is trans & I don't spit at them, so I am not transphobic'.
Same bullshit rubbish.

JK Rowling has a trans friend, and her anti-trans fanbase have lost their minds about it – because it highlights the cruel propaganda that anti-trans ideology relies on, writes @PatrickLenton starobserver.com.au/opinion/jk-row…

I condemn the launch of hundreds of bombs and drones on Ukraine last night. Russia’s actions stand in stark contrast to Ukraine’s offer to extend the three-day ceasefire. They underline in very clear terms who the aggressor is. Ireland stands with Ukraine and for peace.

@ciarannugent Devils in the details with these polls and how they're asked, if anyone is concerned with housing, spending, tourism and more they de facto have an issue with immigration.

Less than 1 in 7 of Irish adults (14%) think immigration is a top 2 priority
