'Nightmare' as overcrowded Irish prisons likely to set new record of 6,000 inmates irishexaminer.com/news/arid-4183…

@rtenews So if prisons weren't overcrowded the prisoners would be on their best behaviour 📝 😆

Prison officers have said violence, intimidation, weapons and drugs smuggling are all increasing in the country’s prisons because of overcrowding rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@CryptoConnecti3 @SuzieD755164 It's already there your camera on your phone (front) is taking pictures every few seconds, tracking your eye movements.

@SuzieD755164 Next step camera in our bedroom "for your safety"...

⚠️ WARNING: FACIAL SCANNING MANDATORY IN ALL EU VEHICLES They say it is just "for your safety" (just like age verification is just to "keep the kids safe online") but did you know as of July 7, 2024, all newly registered cars in the EU must be fitted with specific driver-monitoring systems. By 2026 and 2027, this will apply to every single new vehicle sold on the European market (heavy trucks). If you buy a new car it will have a camera looking at your face, but it is (FOR NOW) legally barred from "recognising" you or saving that video. It is there to beep at you if you fall asleep or look at your phone. Except it isn't... as it looks like they can use this data in court against you (see below). The EU's General Safety Regulation (GSR2) mandates two specific systems: DDAW (Driver Drowsiness and Attention Warning): Monitors your "fatigue level" by analysing how you steer or by using cameras to watch for yawning and long eye-closures. ADDW (Advanced Driver Distraction Warning): This is the more "advanced" part for 2026/2027. It uses cameras to track your gaze. If you look away from the road (at a phone or a passenger) for more than 6 seconds (at low speeds) or 3.5 seconds (at high speeds), the car alerts you (who will it alert in the future though? What legal punishment will you be subjected to? What penalties will you recieve? Will you be able to even start your vehicle if you break rules? EU law (GDPR) supposedly governs how these "face-scanning" cameras work to ensure they don't become surveillance tools but do we REALLY believe we are not headed into a centralised system of global governance and mass surveillance (digital ID for "your convenience" is being rolled out across many countries as is facial recognition tech - it is in your supermarkets at the self service checkouts for example). They claim that laws already in place (laws can be changed in the future...remember "emergency legislation" that restricted your freedom of movement?) forbids using this technology for biometric identification (facial recognition). The car "sees" a human face to track eye movement, but it is not allowed to "know" who you are (supposedly). It is claimed a closed-loop System means your data must stay inside the car (but can be used in court remember!). The camera’s "vision" is processed in real-time by a local chip and then "immediately overwritten" (supposedly). EU cars are "generally" prohibited from sending your video or "distraction logs" to the cloud, manufacturers, or insurance companies (supposedly). The EU does not CURRENTLY mandate a "breathalyzer" or "kill switch for everyone" (kill switch will knock off your car and prevent you starting or driving it). Instead, they mandate that all new cars must have a standardised interface that makes it easy for authorities to install an alcohol interlock device. So yes, authorities CAN interfere with your vehicle and movements. Since July 2024, all new EU cars must also have an Event Data Recorder (a black box recorder). Why? If your data is yours and isn't going to be shared? They say this is purely for recording technical data (speed, braking, steering) in the seconds before a crash. This can and will be used as evidence against you. They claim these systems are anonymous and cannot be used to identify the driver or owner; its "only legal purpose" is to help investigators understand why an accident happened (will this always be the case though?) Now if you have read all of and think it is necessary then you are welcoming a lockstep loss of your privacy and rights. You are accepting being treated as a criminal before you ever have even committed a crime. You are accepting pre-emtive evidence gathering before you have ever committed a crime, and remember a crime could be anything in their eyes. They make the rules, and those who swap liberty for "security" and a surveillance state [by accepting that] will regret it. But by then it will be too late. By Susanne Delaney

@GovIE No climate crises just a green scam crises that enriches governments buddy's, as energy prices keeps rising for the average person🙄

🍃 We are committed to delivering on Ireland’s responsibility to address the climate crisis. The official opening of Derrinlough Wind Farm marked an important step in Ireland’s transition to renewable energy.

@WatchdogTh96012 Oh it gets much worse, ever get the sense we are being played 😉

🇮🇪 CLOWNS RUNNING THE COUNTRY 🇮🇪 In 2019 the Irish government banned domestic harvesting of peat. Since then Ireland has IMPORTED approximately 40,000 tonnes of peat products per year from countries like UK, Egypt & Latvia. These incompetent clowns are out of control. #Ireland

@NicHulscher Of course it contained Sv40

FOUR independent datasets from THREE countries have now confirmed that COVID shots induced a CANCER EPIDEMIC 1. U.S. government SEER cancer data (+6.4% surge in early-onset cancers since 2021) 2. CDC WONDER mortality data (138,000 excess cancer deaths since 2021) 3. South Korean study of 8.4 MILLION (increased risk of SIX major cancers) 4. Italian study of 300,000 (increased risk of THREE major cancers) WHY ISN’T THIS FRONT PAGE NEWS?

@BRICSinfo Fits perfectly with 2030 agenda, less air travel

JUST IN: 🇸🇪 Sweden warns of potential jet fuel shortage.

@thejournal_ie Remember during lockdowns when Churches were closed but abortion clinics stayed open.

The Social Democrats will today introduce a bill aimed at updating Ireland's abortion laws, especially to ensure that women do not need to travel abroad to terminate a pregnancy. jrnl.ie/7025791

@DarraghOBrienTD And yet electricity keeps getting dearer since the green push, go figure 🤦🏻

Delighted to open Derrinlough Wind Farm in Offaly, delivering over 125-126MW of clean, renewable energy. Offaly continues to lead the way, with renewables now providing around 50% of our electricity. Powering homes and businesses sustainably

@SimonHarrisTD Fuc you you beta tyrant

Political violence has no place in a democracy. My thoughts are with President Trump, the First Lady, and Vice President Vance and all those affected by last night's events. I am relieved that no one was hurt.

@peeleraja x.com/i/status/20479…

Hindu Americans must all respond to Trump's "hell hole" comment by boycotting America and moving back to Amritkaal in Viksit Bharat. I beseech all of you to cancel your US citizenships, green cards and green card/citizenship applications and H1B visas and move back. This boycott will cripple the US and bring Trump to its knees.

Garda Boss Declares War: Mass Prosecutions Launched to Deter Future Protests Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly has established dedicated investigation teams to pursue anyone who broke the law during the recent fuel protests that caused widespread disruption across Ireland two weeks ago. Speaking at the Garda Representative Association’s annual conference in Westport, Co Mayo, Commissioner Kelly announced that an incident room has been set up in each of the country’s four Garda regions. These units, led by senior officers, are focusing on criminal offences committed during the blockades, including the harassment of gardai and other emergency personnel, both in person and online. He said the force is actively encouraging any officers who experienced abuse, threats, or intimidation during or after the protests to report it to the incident rooms. “This is a really serious matter for me,” Kelly stated, describing some of the behaviour captured on footage as “absolutely appalling.” He noted that the harassment extended not only to gardai but also to fuel truck drivers and other transport workers assisting police. The Commissioner added that Gardaí are reviewing existing laws around the blockade of critical infrastructure, such as the Whitegate oil refinery in east Cork, and will recommend new legislation if current measures are deemed inadequate. While some offences already exist under the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act, authorities are examining whether additional laws are needed. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan, who also addressed the conference, strongly condemned the harassment. He described online abusers as “anonymous cowards” and said it is “totally unacceptable” for people to intimidate gardai who are protecting the public. O’Callaghan expressed hope that successful prosecutions would send a strong deterrent message to those involved. The moves come as senior police figures emphasise their determination to hold accountable anyone whose actions during the fuel crisis crossed into criminal territory.

@clippedszn It's not his club, he is just the hype man

Drake and his lawyers reached out to Clavicular over his new nightclub logo which is identical to NOCTA 😳

@axifyclipping_ 4.7 mill could be peanuts to him, who knows 🤷🏻

Sophie Rain FINALLY met her TOP spender after he spent $4.7 million on her over the span of two years on her 0F, and all she gave him was a picture 😳💔 “Hi, do you want a picture”

@NewstalkFM Cycle lanes everywhere no excuse 🙄

Inviting Vladimir Putin to the G20 would signal to the world that aggression works, and that appeasement is back on the table. America is better than this.

@MichealMartinTD He spends more time flying around than Trump 🙄

Meeting with EU leaders as we discuss Europe’s budget for the next seven years. I’ll be highlighting 🇮🇪's priorities; the Common Agricultural Policy, competitiveness, and R&D. Supporting farmers and food production a key budget priority, and throughout our EU Presidency. 🇪🇺

@BowesChay Bet the applicant is Jewish 😉

Hungary set for first LGBT TV channel after EU law blow-up An unknown applicant has reportedly moved to launch a dedicated LGBT broadcaster in Hungary just days after the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled against a controversial 2021 law backed by ex-PM Viktor Orban restricting LGBT content in media accessible to minors.
