@MbarkCherguia Leg day.

Men, what is stopping you from dressing like this?

@paddymacc1 He'd have them shot.

What advice would big Mick give to Simon Harris or Leo Varadkar

@j66kop @IrishmanIRL Probably the ones in the community and culture she represents

@IrishmanIRL What Irish men exactly is she terrified of ? And if she feels she has full faith and no fear in all migrant men I’m more than happy for her no one ever said all people that come to this country are bad .

"I'm not afraid of any migrant man, I'm terrified of Irish men" Senator Eileen Flynn talks about her speech in the Senate on Ocean FM

@oelma__ Eh not being gay

@Ben_Scallan Shocking expecting a leader to lead. For me a leader is someone that can galvanise the people, get the people behind them. Can we say that about any of the party leaders we have?

You're absolutely correct, Mary; sometimes politicians have to make the right choice even if it's unpopular. I completely agree with you. But it's also the obligation of a leader to try and convince the public that what they're doing is the right decision, and to communicate clearly how it's in the nation's interest. But our media and political class (Government and Opposition alike) generally don't even attempt that - they say "We have to do it because the EU says so", trot out a few extremely lazy fallacious lines that are more slogans than actual arguments, and if you aren't satisfied with that, they just default to shouting at you and calling you names. We don't have real debates in this country, there's virtually no good faith attempt to actually persuade people who are skeptical of these policies or compromise in any way.

@mullallyelaine There was no way they were going to vote against the government. Most of them has been a member of either FF or FG at sometime. Lowry still thinks he is. They are only independent in name so that they can get votes Stupid me fell for that in the last election. Won't happen again

If these 7 independent TD’s had voted against the government yesterday the count would have been 85 - 85 so the deciding vote would have rested with the Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy, who is also an independent. The Power rested with these so called Independent TD’s they should have represented our voices, but they didn’t!

@Caoimhinn55 Agree 💯. We need a very strong centrist party that delivers for the country. None of the current lot represent me. I suppose the closest are Aontu and independent Ireland

Everyone says: ‘If you’re not Sinn Féin, you must be FF/FG’ — but that’s not how it works. A lot of us aren’t backing any of the Government parties. Not calling for chaos, but there’s a real gap in Irish politics for a proper alternative voice. Anyone else feel that? 🤔

@Niall_Boylan It's a hard one because I feel none of the parties represent me. The closest ones would be either independent Ireland or Aontu as they seem to put the people of the country first. But to tell you the truth I trust none of them.

Also on the show live after 12pm: Sinn Féin have brought forward a motion of no confidence in the FF FG government after the fuel protest fiasco. It’s unlikely to pass in a vote, but if it did and there was a general election, who would you vote for? Sinn Féin, Soc Dems, Labour, or any independents? Is there really an alternative, or are FF and FG the best of a bad bunch, but just in need of new leadership? Comments to WhatsApp 085 100 22 55

@sandumaiamd @SimonHarrisTD Did they leave with a few million in their back pocket? We all know how FFG love to give away money to anyone and everyone but their own.

A warm and productive meeting with Tánaiste @SimonHarrisTD. We discussed Moldova’s EU accession progress and the road ahead.

@HMcEntee @YoussefRaggi Did you them another 40 million? You seem fond of giving away out money.

Today I spoke with the Lebanon FM @YoussefRaggi and expressed my deep concern about yesterday’s attacks on Lebanon and assured him of Ireland’s continued commitment to Lebanon and UNIFIL.

@RCEY28 Fair play to them getting in and out of that car. I'd be half there age and struggle to get in and out of my normal car.

This elderly couple stands beside their bright red Corvette in a quiet parking lot—a symbol of a life still lived with a little spark. The gentleman in the plaid shirt gently holds the low passenger door open while his wife slowly bends down, determined to make the descent. He leans in, steady and patient, offering his hand with the kind of tenderness that only decades of shared memories can create. There’s something deeply moving in the way they navigate the moment together—no rush, no frustration—just quiet teamwork shaped by a lifetime of love. It’s a reminder that true romance isn’t found in grand gestures, but in the simple act of showing up for each other every single day. Would you stop to lend a hand, or simply smile and keep walking past? ❤️

@noshiteplease Shane must not have got the memo from his government masters that they use "international obligations" anymore because everyone just laughs at it.

Caught a clip of this Fool Shane Coleman talking about "Int'l Obligations". Obligations that are essentially fabricated virtue signalling, designed 2 make Ireland look good on the world stage 2 the detriment of 🇮🇪 Citizens.Billions of 🇮🇪 Taxpayers money being Squandered annually

@fatima_gunning This is what the government are going to say about protest be they legitimate or illegitimate and they will have their supporters out to agree with them. Does anyone actually pay attention to what they say?

Do you agree?

@Nick_Delehanty That's a horror show of a government. That would give most people in the country nightmares except those with brightly coloured hair

2029: Taoiseach: Holly Cairns Tánaiste: Mary Lou Finance: Pearse Doherty Public Exp: Cian O'Callaghan Justice: Ivana Bacik / Gary Gannon Housing: Eoin O'Broin / Rory Hearne Education: Jennifer Whitmore Health: Sinead Gibney Agriculture: Martin Kenny Enterprise: Rose Conway Walsh Social Protection: Paul Murphy

@Nick_Delehanty I thought April fools was yesterday

@MickOKeeffe No wonder he had garda protection beside him saying that.

Minister of State Sean Canney: "Maybe you could cycle to work, maybe you could walk." The Irish government is telling people what to do and how to behave, this is beginning to feel like covid all over again.

@caulmick @IrishTimes Just like that 40 million to Ukraine and when they were asked to support people in this country they balked. Cretins the lot of them.

Ireland to provide extra €40m in aid to Ukraine this year - ✍️Niamh Towey It brings the State’s total contribution this year to €65 million. Minister for Foreign Affairs Helen McEntee announced the funding on Wednesday during an official visit to Ukraine. #HowIrelandWorks #Ukraine #EU #FFG irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/0…

@Niall_Boylan Protests use to be organized by unions and people would march under the union banners. Since the unions sold out there is no one to represent workers and all we have are these splinter groups led by the likes of Murphy and Coppinger that no one respects.

Coming up on the show live at 12pm: Why do you think people continue to allow the state to push them to breaking point, with less money in their pockets? We’ve seen increases in property tax for many people, rising health insurance costs, and oil and petrol prices doubling in just one month. Energy prices are predicted to increase due to the cost of oil. Carbon tax is increasing again in May. Broadband costs and other entertainment services are going up. Food prices are rising well above the cost of living increase. Housing and rent are now unaffordable for young people, or for anyone who doesn’t already own a home. Salaries are not increasing anywhere close to these rising costs. Meanwhile, the government is giving away millions to the EU and other countries. But what are people doing about it? Nothing. Why do you think we are just accepting this financial pressure? Have we become soft? The men and women of the past decades would be ashamed of us. Comments to WhatsApp 085 100 22 55

@newstart_2024 I'm an active person, walk everyday, gym couple of times a week and play tennis but I suffer with arithis in my knees so I have put on weight. I am starting with ozempec to get a kick start get the weight down. The dr said I am ideal for it as my lifestyle will help.

Ozempic looks like a miracle… until it isn’t. Bill Maher asked Jillian Michaels the question a lot of people are quietly wondering: if these weight-loss drugs are so great, why isn’t anyone talking about the downsides? Her answer was direct and data-heavy. About 50% of users feel great at first with no side effects. Then comes the inevitable plateau. Stopping the drug almost always leads to regaining most or all of the weight — often with a brutal rebound effect. She also highlighted more serious risks like stomach paralysis, intestinal blockage, pancreatitis, and kidney issues. Meanwhile, the weight-loss drug industry is growing at a 9% compound annual rate, and many doctors stay quiet because of grant money and industry influence. It’s a raw conversation that cuts through the hype. What do you think — is the Ozempic boom being oversold, or are the benefits worth the risks and lifelong commitment?

@Unseendivaspics Is that Camilla Harris?🤣

42 never looked this hot 🥵
