Connolly for President

BBC confirms the US is responsible for the Minab school massacre that killed 175 people, mostly girls. The "advanced" AI targeting system used outdated coordinates to hit a base next door, ignoring satellite images showing kids playing in the courtyard. Absolute war crime.

It’s telling that @BeneavinCollege invited the face of the Irish fisher price fascists to talk to their students. Parents need to ask themselves if they are happy sending their kids to an “Ireland is Full” supporting school.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

The moment ISRAELI WARPLANES BOMBED journalist Steve Sweeney @SweeneySteve in the South of Lebanon. A double tap strike. The biggest threat to the life of a journalist on earth? It's Israel

Hey @BeneavinCollege did ye seriously invite the dim, gaslighting, grifting, lying, racist @gavpepper85 in to speak to students??? This langer??? If so ye need to cop yourselves on…unless of course ye support his hatemongering dumbfuckery 😒

@VideosIrish @lil_doza Except you “aney stokes” NEVER have anything to say about Irish crime. What about the Irish criminals involved in finglas and coolock anti immigrant shite. You’re selective about your criticism of criminality- because for you it’s not about criminality but about being racist

@lil_doza Of course, there is irish crime in ireland. Do you think that means we should flood our country with foreigners?

Nigel Kennedy was in Dun Laoghaire district court charged with robbing an iPhone 16 worth €800 from a female, violently assaulting a man in his 50s and dangerous driving a e-bike. His solicitor said he was a social welfare recipient. The usual suspects are silent about this.

I've no problem with Sarah Carey disagreeing with Catherine Connolly. She's perfectly entitled to. I have a problem with this nonsense: "The problem is that as president, she’s not entitled to say it." Of course she's entitled to! We elected her to. independent.ie/opinion/commen…

@OdohertyI64991 So he’s only a person’s Taoiseach if the person lives in his constituency. You complete thick

@uladulla It's not his Taoiseach. Ffs. Are you people genuinely stupid? What constituency does he vote in?

What business is it of his?

@OdohertyI64991 I didn’t vote for the Taoiseach to become a TD as I’m not in his constituency but he is my Taoiseach as I live in Ireland. Only a west Brit clown like you would think someone living in the north of Ireland wasn’t Irish.

@kenoflynnTD 🤡 bloody snowflake.

Today I wrote formally to the Board of the Zoological Society of Ireland, which operates Dublin Zoo, regarding their Mother’s Day promotion. Many families contacted me expressing genuine offence at the decision to present a drag performance character as the public face of a celebration dedicated to mothers. Mother’s Day is about recognising mothers. The women who carried children, raised families and made sacrifices across a lifetime. Dublin Zoo is one of Ireland’s most prominent family institutions. Decisions taken by such institutions carry cultural meaning and responsibility. In media coverage the zoo claimed this performer represents a “light-hearted celebration of Irish culture”. I have asked the Board to explain exactly what they mean by that and how this decision was reached. I have also asked whether the Board accepts that many mothers and families feel this promotion trivialised motherhood and whether an apology is now warranted. Public institutions must be prepared to explain their decisions when those decisions cause legitimate public concern. The full letter has been sent to the Board of the Zoological Society of Ireland today. #MothersDay #RespectMothers #Ireland #Family

@rtenews 😆 vote Aontu get Fianna Fáil. No thanks Aontu!

Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín has said he believes it would be "easier to direct Fianna Fáil" in a coalition than other parties, saying he believes his party can eventually enter government rte.ie/news/politics/…

@campbellclaret UK Ireland border is in the Irish Sea. Can’t see the sea there Alistair

@HMcEntee Who did it?

The attack on a UNIFIL base in Lebanon today is completely unacceptable. I want to commend the Irish peacekeepers who assisted their Ghanaian counterparts. All Irish personnel deployed in the region are well and accounted for.

Israel just bombed a UNIFIL position in Al Qouzah, South Lebanon. Casualties among UN Ghanian peacekeepers, this is a few kilometres away from Irish soldiers post. Ireland should boycott playing Israel in UEFA nations league on October.

@MichealMartinTD @GovIE Who did it?

I strongly condemn the reckless strike on a UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon that has left a number of Ghanaian peacekeepers seriously injured.
