Wait until she learns who it was that actually kicked out the British from Mandatory Palestine .... If this were 1947, I'm sure she'd be flying a Union Jack Anything to prevent the Jews from having a state. Right?

@FitzellMarcus @RachelMoiselle Maybe the better more realistic solution is to just increase the minimum age to 21 and leave it at that.

@RachelMoiselle Cigarettes and tobacco products are not illegal items. It should be legal for an adult to make the choice as to whether they want to use those products. All this law does is give ammunition to those that think the UK is moving toward being a police state.

I know the UK has bigger problems, but just putting it out there that I think (as a non-smoker) that the new smoking ban is absolutely insane.

@RachelMoiselle @iamBrianBJ The difference with smoking and junk food/alcohol is there is no safe level and there's no way to balance out the badness. Cigarettes used in accordance with manufacturer's instruction will kill you.

@iamBrianBJ I think it’s nanny state behaviour. People should be allowed to smoke if they want to smoke. What next? A ban on alcohol? A ban on junk food?

Wonder is there a single journalist or broadcaster in Ireland who will ask one of the latest flotilla participants to detail * who funds the organisation that resources the flotilla? * the ownership of the flotilla boats? * the totality of & type of aid on the flotilla? * to explain who paid for the aid & its origin? *why they are not willing to deliver the aid through Ashdod Port or a humanitarian organisation already aiding Gaza? * why if concerned about Gaza they do not advocate support for the UNSC approved peace plan & criticise Hamas obstruction of its implementation & refusal to disarm? Just asking.

@2Otoole4School @KeithMillsD7 What employers found it less productive? By employer who do you mean? The CEO? The line manager?

@liam7988 @KeithMillsD7 Micromanagement, office chatter distracting , because of office leases - 3 nonsense excuses peddled about by people. Employers found it less productive, people were taking the piss, especially those with pets or kids.

All this will do is force more traffic onto other perifoveal suburban roads. People don't use the M50 for the fun of it.

“Controversial links”? What’s controversial ? How many Irish universities have links to China, Quatar..? But Connolly has nothing to say about that. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East. Only country in the Middle East to have a Pride March. In whose name is she hitting out????

@2Otoole4School @KeithMillsD7 The back to office is being driven by CEOs some of whom aren't even based in Ireland. It's not being driven by the line managers who work with the staff day to day. It's just micromanagement

@liam7988 @KeithMillsD7 Theres lots of evidence from employers themselves, thats why they’re bringing people back. Any evidence of increased productivity is where employees are surveyed and ofcourse they feel more productive getting paid to walk the dog or cooking lunch with a teams call open.

@mrcraigmoore1 @PremSportsIRL A friend of mine has one

@liam7988 @PremSportsIRL Fire sticks are fantastic tbf Liam

We're pleased to confirm that the UEFA Champions League will remain on Premier Sports in the Republic of Ireland until 2031 🙌 Here's to more unforgettable Tuesday nights in football's greatest club competition 💥

@KeithMillsD7 There is no evidence of it leading to lower productivity. I would seriously question how productive they expect people to be after a 3 hour drive.

@liam7988 Why should they do this if it leads to lower productivity?

The difference between @roisinmurphy and other supposedly outspoken Irish singers is that Roisin speaks on issues with risk attached. The likes of Moore and May simply spout safe, nodding-dog platitudes they know everyone will agree with. Conformity masquerading as conscience.

@givern_robert @BelTel @SuzyJourno Tom Barry refused to support the hunger strikers in Portlaoise. Was he a West Brit wanker?

@liam7988 @BelTel @SuzyJourno Doesn't make you any less a west brit wanker

SDLP didn’t just get Bobby Sands statue vote wrong — it reminded people why it has been losing ground for years ✍️ @SuzyJourno belfasttelegraph.co.uk/comment/sdlp-d…

@ashstronge Because the Nationalist party that bombed the shit out of the place is really going to bring people with them

You only have to look at the accounts that are jumping in to defend SDLP on this tweet to see exactly why this decision was so poor. Being the unionists favourite nationalist party offers zero rewards

@theorangecrunch @Independent_ie Abolishing USC obviously wasn't popular or FG would have done a lot better.

@liam7988 @Independent_ie But it became a feature of their dwindling campaign which they did not honour. This, Varadka's statement and handling of the peaceful protest will come back to haunt them come the next election.

Lorraine Courtney: USC should be abolished for everyone earning under €100k to help ‘middle Ireland’ buff.ly/YVAqrDh

Sinn Féin's engagement with Arab Barghouti reflects their long-standing ideological alignment. Barghouti’s father, Marwan Barghouti, is serving multiple life sentences for his role in the murderous attacks of civilians and membership in a terrorist organisation. This raises questions about what priorities might shape a united Ireland under Sinn Féin’s influence. For those who reject comparisons between the Palestinian conflict and the Irish Troubles, such associations are particularly contentious. Framing violence as “resistance,” rather than emphasising negotiation and political compromise, challenges claims of inclusivity and will most certainly risk deepening divisions rather than resolving them.

@rosscolquhoun @diffleypartners Still a desperately low figure.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 52% would say YES to Scottish independence, according to the latest poll by @diffleypartners. Independence support by age: 16 - 24: 77% 25 - 34: 75% 35 - 44: 66% 45 - 54: 62% 55 - 64: 43% 65+: 28% It’s comin yet for a’ that.

@givern_robert @BelTel @SuzyJourno The Sands family don't even like Sinn Fein.

@liam7988 @BelTel @SuzyJourno Fuck up Willie ya West brit wanker

@theorangecrunch @Independent_ie It was a new policy from October 2015 - Election was February 2016 and FG were polling well in 2015. So it wasn't last minute.

@liam7988 @Independent_ie Yes they were struggling with getting votes and came out with this last minute promise. When they scrapped in with an amalgamation of other similar political parties they renegade on their promise.
