I just listened to @roisinmurphy and it’s genuinely heartbreaking. She puts into words something many people feel but are afraid to say, that we’ve reached a point where critical thinking and real debate are being stifled, not always by rules, but by fear.
When she talks about self censorship, or what I’d call the chilling effect, it hits home. That quiet pressure to hold back, to soften your views, or to say nothing at all. It’s not just coming from one place, it’s a mix of government, media, and social media, all shaping an environment where stepping outside the minority accepted line can come at a cost.
Having worked in media for over 30 years, I’ve seen the shift myself. There were always lines, but in the last decade the change has been dramatic. The space for robust, honest debate feels narrower than ever.
Those with nothing to lose, or those positioned on what’s presented as “the right side” of an argument, can speak freely. But when your livelihood depends on public perception, the stakes are very different. One wrong sentence, one unpopular opinion, and everything you’ve built can be on the line.
Róisín Murphy is speaking for a lot of people, not just in media, but across the arts and beyond, who feel they’ve lost their voice, not because they have nothing to say, but because the risk of saying it has become too high.

“It’s not the first time in history artists have faced oppression and it won’t be the last. We should support each other, come together and defend our shared space, our territory, the place where imagination can roam free. Because if they come for one of us they will eventually come for all. “ On Monday 26/4/26 I gave a speech at the House of Lords, Palace of Westminster to help launch toolkit.freedominthearts.com Please follow/donate to @Freedom_in_Arts they are doing VITAL work for all of us.”

Switzerland will be voting on a referendum whether to limit the population to 10 million people.
This will effectively close the borders and limit how many will be allowed to migrate there.
Now the latest poll has the yes side winning at 52%

Did any newspaper or radio programme report on the Taoiseach’s transgender comments??
More politicians need to stand up and call out this woke nonsense.
Kids cannot change their gender.
The Gender Recognition Act is a mockery
Failure to call this out is spineless.

"I find myself compelled to respond to the comments made by the Taoiseach yesterday where he confirmed his belief that children could be transgender" Senator Sharon Keoghan says it is a medical issue, not a culture war issue.

@thejournal_ie This man created a two tier society of putting foreigners above the Irish in our own home.

I would like @rteliveline to cover this commercial surrogacy event happening next week in Dublin.
Why do mainstream media ignore these events when human trafficking is illegal in Ireland?
Please share widely

Sad to hear of the death of Gordon Snell author and husband of the late Maeve Binchy. I would see him regularly as we live near each other, and was fortunate to photograph the couple for my own archive a few years ago… #author #gordonsnell #MaeveBinchy #Dalkey #Ireland

Basically saying “Shut Up & Do as you are Told”
He is a public servant - right ?
We pay him to act on our behalf
I hope parents of children are up in arms

Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirms he believes that children can be transgender, but says he doesn't want to be drawn into "culture wars like they have in the UK": Gript - "Do you believe that a child can be transgender?" Taoiseach Micheál Martin - "Yes - I do believe [that]."

A birth certificate should be an official record that accurately reflects the biological parents of a child.
It shouldn't be a record to validate human traffickers who buy babies.
It shouldn't be a record for fetish driven men who want to lie about being women.

@nwl88444048 Approved Housing Bodies delivered 4,215 social houses, of which they only built 189
The remaining 95 per cent were turnkey acquisitions.
Irish first time buyers can’t compete with them
70% housed in 2024 by De Paul had been in IPAS

Commercial surrogacy isn't even legal here.
Babies are not a commodity and babies need their MOTHER.

Brilliant article about Ireland by @SineadOS1
“Ireland spent approximately €1.2 billion in 2025 housing 33,000 asylum seekers in hotels, at roughly €99 per night. Comparatively, the Netherlands runs purpose-built state reception centers at €13.50 per night.”

This creep is preaching violent misogyny in Ireland. Why is he in this country?
@
Watch this: In Ireland, a self-styled Muslim community leader openly calls for stripping women of their freedom and equality. He instructs men to treat women as property — with no right to refuse their husbands. This is not “culture.” This is systemic abuse. They fled countries that denied women basic rights… only to demand those same oppressive rules in the West. Why import the very system they supposedly escaped? Europe needs to wake up. This ideology is incompatible with Western values.

“Great ideas arrive only when the mind is free.”
A brilliant speech on why artists need the freedom to speak, and what’s lost when they don’t.
Fair play to @roisinmurphy, you’ve done Ireland proud 💚

Days after we gave Ukraine €90 billion, they demand that Ukrainians in Ireland should not be subject to the same destitution the Irish have endured for over a decade.

🔺 Ireland’s housing crisis will not be solved by the Government’s decision to phase out State-funded accommodation for Ukrainians, a high-ranking official in Kyiv has said “It’s about the structural problem in Ireland itself.” Read here: irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

The MSM coverage I heard today never once represented the taxpayer's POV. It was all BS about 'You're sending children away' ( Katie Hannon ).
Nobody said, 'This will save the taxpayer a fortune'.
And that is precisely the problem with Irish MSM.
Only leftwing POV is heard.
@
The reaction to the Government's decision to begin withdrawing accommodation supports to Ukrainian refugees in Ireland has been mixed. The move has been welcomed by Sinn Féin and Aontú but heavily criticised by Labour, the Social Democrats and the Greens. jrnl.ie/7026032
