@DavQuinn Well said, Martin should step down especially after looking at the latest polls!
English

@AnMailleach @john_mcguirk That many organisations would make me suspicious, how many are been paid and how much do they cost to run?
English

The fact that there are over 1,000 organisations in Ireland claiming to represent the disabled suggests a problem.
Micheál Martin@MichealMartinTD
Very important summit today on the Cost of Disability. Over 1,000 organisations have made submissions. We are committed to making progress in supporting people with disabilities across all strands of life.

@griptmedia Look at the latest polling on the parties, hard to believe F F is down so much. Needs a new leader and ask Bertie to advise.
English

"No one cares what Micheál Martin thinks is 'proper.' Fianna Fáil refuses to listen to the slew of opinion polling on immigration showing people are fed up - even though its own polling is at record lows. Maybe they should bring Bertie back as an advisor."

@EwanMacKenna @cynimhurchu Agree with you, Bertie is entitled to his opinion .
English

I see @cynimhurchu has called on Bertie Ahern to apologise for comments. Why? Because you don't like his views?
He's entitled to them, as she's entitled to hers.
When people's views don't align it used to be called a disagreement. Egos are now so large that sorry is demanded.

@RobCarryBray @nealerichmond It is our money , who does he think he is? Is all his travelling ( at our expense) gone to his head , I get the impression he thinks he is above us all and a very important person.
English

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.

@AngloIrsh_Rebel @john_mcguirk I shall cancel my subscription next week, presume it now will go left wing!
English

@john_mcguirk Very sorry to see this act of self-harm on the side of the Gript management unfold.
You remain one of the most thorough, thoughtful and articulate journalists in the country today and I wish you all success in your future endeavours.

@conspiracyb0t Apparently Cadburys are already there, let’s see!

Bill Gates lab made butter is expected to reach supermarket shelves by 2027.
"It looks, smells, and tastes like the butter we're all familiar with, but without the farmland, fertilisers, or emissions."
Bill Gates: "The idea of switching to lab-made fats and oils may seem strange at first, but their potential to significantly reduce our carbon footprint is immense."
"This is really about how we feed our species and heal our planet at the same time."
No Billy, this is really about phasing out agriculture and seizing control of the global food supply, as a way of controlling the global population.

@noshiteplease @FineGael This is getting very interesting and I note the lack of empathy of a lot of people towards the victim.
English

Is it just me or are @FineGael protecting the name of a former TD & Minister who gave a written reference to Daniel Ramamoorthy, Jailed for child sexual exploitation 🤔
We know who appointed this creep a department advisor despite having no qualifications whatsoever.

Not only is this shocking, it’s also totally unacceptable.
Last Friday, a Wicklow man went to St. Vincent’s A&E after a suspected mini-stroke. He was seen, then sent home and told not to worry over the weekend, just come back on Monday.
He did exactly that.
Yesterday morning he returned as instructed, and then he waited. Hour after hour. By midnight, he was still there, trapped in an A&E that was completely overwhelmed.
No beds. Not even a trolley. Just a chair, and then put in a shower room. Alongside four other men and a woman, all patients, all left waiting because there was nowhere else to put them.
This is not care. This is not dignity. It is totally unacceptable.
And it is happening now, under Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.

@1PaulLawless If this is correct (Paul Lawless post )the mistake in the way the government handled the fuel crisis ( being out of touch with the voters) will look trivial in comparison to the Ipass centres?
English

@IrexitFreedom I agree there and must look into your policies and plans for the future. Your party are certainly talking the right aims and aspirations of a lot of voters!

Mícheál Martin has doubled down all this week in attacking the protesters.
He has been blackening the name of ordinary people who were at breaking point.
When you are in a hole, stop digging.
