I'm not sure it’s a good application of feminism to suggest working class men can’t oppose rent hikes against the most marginalised communities in the city

The fool's licence granted to the Healy-Rea clan is simply untenable when serious matters are being discussed. It's dangerous to extend the patronising indulgence of their antics to important topics.

Ivan Yates used his media training company to also lobby both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil TDs – including junior minister Niall Collins – in hotel meetings on behalf of an energy company that wanted advice on getting “a favourable planning decision”. ontheditch.com/ivan-yates-lob…

@kieransopinion Don't worry, I voted - so I'll make the decision for him.

Watch these lads break the law

@caulmick We have something of an answer. She reassures us that she never spoke up about repossessions or tracker mortgages in the Dail. x.com/christinafinn8…

@caulmick @HeatherH In fairness when she was manager of cootehill credit union they didn't take enforcement actions against home owners. At least I assume they didn't? Surely the media would have told us if they did?

Dear @HeatherH, You said you want voters to believe that you always tried “to keep people in their homes”. Your words in yesterday's Sunday Independent. In 2020 your government scored an F in a damning annual report card on child homelessness There were 3,754 homeless kids in January 2020. Today that figure has grown to 5,145 homeless children. That's your legacy in government with your party Fine Gael. #HomelessByHeather #PE25 #HeatherHumphreys #Aras25

Martin seems to misunderstand the European Union. I think every European leader would agree that the EU wants actively engaged citizens, not obedient uncritical subjects. irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…

@mattcarthy @OCallaghanJim At section 18.

@mattcarthy @OCallaghanJim Well said. The principle that lawyers should not be identified with their clients is protected in human rights instruments including the UN Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers. A human rights instrument that Fine Gael seems to have issue with. ohchr.org/en/instruments…

The logic of what FG are saying about Catherine Connolly’s work as a Barrister is that the current Minister for Justice should be accountable for the actions of clients he worked for as a barrister. @OCallaghanJim must explain if he agrees with this desperate line of attack.

@Trickstersworld @GaryGannonTD @paddycosgrave @FineGael @jgeoghegantd In fairness to Barry Ward he seems to understand the obligations and ethical requirements of his profession. Not sure his party colleagues do. irishtimes.com/crime-law/cour…

@GaryGannonTD @paddycosgrave @FineGael @jgeoghegantd James worked diligently as a lobbyist for the biggest cigarette manufacturer in the world and Barry’s (shady?) use of Cllr allowances resulted in a change in the ethics rules…

Catherine Connolly's hypocrisy.

I don't often get viscerally annoyed by things politicians say, but a Fine Gael Minister attempting to take the high ground over home repossessions has done it.

Humphreys says she ‘abhors animal cruelty’ - How is this possible while she also supports fox hunting and hare coursing? Both these statements can't be true. independent.ie/irish-news/pol…

Thank you @irishcongress for calling out the shocking claims of the business lobby regarding the Occupied Territories Bill. This is a modest measure, the bare minimum under int law. We should not be trading and profiting from war crimes! ictu.ie/news/oireachta…

@jazzybabycat I'm very sorry for your loss.

With an absolutely shattered heart, I have to share that Jazzy - my heart, my soul, my best friend, was put to rest this morning. Babycat, you were so good. The best girl. My world for 14.5 years, but it should've kept going. I would've done anything to keep you here. 💔
