In Ireland today, questioning open borders and saying ‘maybe women don't have 🍆’ makes you far-right now. 😑So here I am —because common sense shouldn’t be controversial💅

But is this the same proposal that Social Democrats had a few weeks ago that SF didn't support?

@BelTel Too soft on crime here already. If a child can sexually assault someone they can suffer the consequences they deserve. Stand with victims & not victim makers.

Children as young as 10 can still be held criminally responsible in NI after a proposal to raise the age was blocked. Campaigners against the decision say criminalising children at a young age can have lasting consequences, while opponents say offenders must be held accountable.

Should Ireland introduce a ban on social media accounts for under-16s? 70% of Irish people say 'yes'. Even half of Gen Z's (aged 18-29) agree. Research shows that every additional hour spent on such platforms increases your risk of depression by 13%. A ban seems sensible.

And they have the cheek to ban sunbed. At least give the pasties a chance to catch a tan.

No one should fear facts

@fatima_gunning Why are second generation so violent?

This is some of what Bertie Ahern was touching on before he was sent for reeducation.

@M_AndersonSF Sincerely, was this not the bill the social democrats brought forward like 2 weeks ago that Sinn Féin didn't support?

If you're pro-choice. What do you believe should happen if the baby does survive abortion?

@Conor1960 @cladery1 @Oismur I do truly appreciate that you're given sincere thoughts to this all. I would like to ask - because it is something I didn't consider myself - if the baby survives abortion. What should be done with that baby?

@cladery1 @Oismur @slainte_shade A premature birth at 24 weeks leave the surviving baby with huge issues. Underdeveloped lungs & organs. Blind & deaf possible brain damage. Pro-lifers rarely concern themselves with supporting such children or their parents.

I honestly can't believe that 20% of Irish babies are aborted. It was meant to be for the hard cases - it isn't clearly.

@muir2021 @slainte_shade @TheMandyGall @sinnfeinireland 1) Women make life changing decisions under pressure, fear, stress and panic. The fact that babies are alive today because of the 3 day waiting period proves that it saves lives. Those are the facts.

Today, Tánaiste Simon Harris announced that Fine Gael will develop a new blueprint for a Unified Island ahead of our Ard Fheis this November. This conversation is an essential step in building a new and better Ireland.

Over 10,000 women didn't return for the second appointment after the 3 day wait. We asked the chair of the abortion review Marie O'Shea if she followed up with these women. The answer was no. Women's voices matter but apparently not those women.

What is the difference in the SF bill to remove the 3 day wait compared to the Social Democrats bill?

Hmmm ...

@TheDagda___ @DarranMarshall @Saraita101 @mikenesbittni absolutely

Why don’t we remove the ones costing us money, especially the men causing trouble? If they come here, they contribute. If they misbehave, intimidate locals, or become a burden, they are drop kicked. No endless process, no sob stories, no little theatre of compassion. In fact, that would probably be better for decent foreigners too. Everyone would know the deal: behave, work, contribute, stay. Take the piss, leave.

"If they were not with us our health service would collapse and people would die unnecessarily." Northern Ireland Health Minister @mikenesbittni - on the contribution "international colleagues" make to the local health service.

@DarranMarshall @mikenesbittni Hadi Alodid did not work for the NHS though did he?

@KSCUBKEE Hadi Alodid did not work for the NHS Riad Bouchaker did not work in healthcare Josef Puska did not work in healthcare

Sinn Féin’s Willie Clarke is a perfect example of how the party is framing the Belfast attempted beheading. Instead of addressing immigration policy, vetting or how the attacker got here, the focus is repeatedly shifted to NHS workers and racism. It’s a manipulative form of framing. By constantly linking immigration to NHS staff, politicians ‘encourage’ people to associate immigration with the nurse who cared for them or the doctor who helped a loved one. The debate stops being about policy, vetting or numbers and becomes about personal feelings of gratitude. That’s an effective way of changing how people think about an issue without actually addressing the concerns being raised, shifting the debate from facts to emotions to avoid answering any real question……… maith thú 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This was one of the cheerleaders at the anti-racism march in BELFAST She had to be controlled and moved away by even organisers. A group of stable individuals clearly.

I walked through the red light district in Brussels today and it was one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen. Young women standing behind glass while groups of men banged on the windows and haggled over them like products. Most of the women appeared to be Asian or Eastern European. The men crowding around them were overwhelmingly African or Muslim men, many still dressed in Islamic clothes. Anyone who looks at that and sees “empowerment” is sick in the head. I don’t know the circumstances of every woman there, but it was impossible to witness it and not wonder how many were there through coercion, desperation, trafficking, or poverty. Nothing about it looked liberating. Putting it lightly it was dehumanising. The women treated like livestock by the most depraved men I’d ever seen. This is Brussels. The capital of the European Union. The place where leaders gather, policies are written, and grand speeches about progress are made. Yet just outside the conference halls and beneath the glass towers, this is happening in plain sight. I only hope Ireland never comes to resemble it.
