We're staring into the abyss of a historic energy crisis resulting directly from Trump's insane war of aggression against Iran, but while most EU countries are banning US military transits, a FF/FG government is allowing them, and can't even say the war is illegal.

Ireland has the highest electricity prices in the world after Bermuda. The price in Ukraine is one-quarter what we pay here. Why is Bimbo McBimbo paying any of our money for electricity in Ukraine when it could be used to build coal-fired power stations to meet our needs?

@andr3w31a561 N. Korea was "bombed to the Stone Age" 75 years ago by the USA and are today an advanced military and nuclear state.

In 2026, saying you’re going to bomb a country of 90 million people and one of the oldest civilizations in the world “back to the stone age, where they belong” is truly fucking vile.

@dlLambo N. Korea was "bombed to the Stone Age" 75 years ago by the USA and are today an advanced military and nuclear state.

The USA: Iran must immediately allow freedom of movement for ships or be bombed to the Stone Age. The USA: Imposes an illegal blockade of shipping into Cuba that's killing hospital patients

A Mars Bar cost 28p in 2000. Today it's £1.05, and it's 18% smaller. Price up 275%. Size down 18%. Most people accept this as normal. It shouldn’t be.

One-third of Ireland’s energy will be used to power datacentres I guarantee you, the Taoiseach won't be talking to the datacentres about the "conservation of energy". We will continue to subsidise them, their needs will come before the need of the public. #HowIrelandWorks

Irish politicians please take note. We can close our airspace to US military aircraft as well.

"We don't authorise either the use of military bases ​or the use of airspace for actions related ​to the war in Iran" Well done Spain. And now that they've shown the way, you can do the same @MichealMartinTD. irishexaminer.com/world/arid-418…

Israel has now seized a larger % of Lebanon than Russia took from Ukraine since its invasion. One was met with RTÉ studio colours, flags on government buildings & across our cities & bridges lit up. With mass EU sanctions & global sports exclusions. Other...silence for Israel

Belgian official exposes hypocrisy in Europe! “You consider expelling Iran’s ambassador, but for two years of genocide, none of you demanded the expulsion of Israel’s ambassador. This is shameful!”

One day, inshaAllah. The "Visit Palestine" travel poster, originally created in 1936 by Austrian-born graphic designer Franz Krausz for the Tourist Association of Palestine.

Spanish Prime Minister brutally exposes Western hypocrisy. He demands to know why the world defends territorial integrity elsewhere but remains completely silent on Gaza and Lebanon. He refuses to let Europe pay the price while warmongers set the world ablaze. (EN Dubbed)

You know you live in a fucked up world when an attack on four empty ambulances in London makes more noise than strikes on 100 medical facilities in Lebanon and over 700 attacks on health care in Gaza.

@jvgraz @OneQuantumLeap Need an ambulance? Can’t wait for an NHS Ambulance? Then you need a Hatzola Ambulance In emergency ring the following numbers

Over the last two years+, we've come to see just how subordinated this country is to US interests - from the OTB to Joanna Byrne's dismissal. All because Irish people reject genocide and stand with Palestine.

@betweenstripes Is it appropriate that a company can fire someone in Ireland because of their political views or responsibilities?

Joanna Byrne statement: ✍️𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐚 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐬 Dear Drogs, I write this letter with a heavy heart as I note, the statement made by Trivela this morning removing me from my position as co-chairperson and member of the board of management of Drogheda United Football Club. The past few weeks have been a difficult time for me personally, but I have carried myself with integrity at all times in recent weeks, for the good of the club. This approach is the opposite to the cold, underhand move by Trivela, initiated in the dark of the night, which was planned and co-ordinated without any consultation with me. This is symptomatic of the way they do business. A narrative has been peddled in recent weeks of a conflict of interest between my role as co-chair and my role as an opposition spokesperson on sport, something I categorically dispute. I have consciously kept my politics and Drogs hat separate for many years, something which wasn’t easy to do but something I managed successfully. I have always been transparent and open with fans and in the spirit of that transparency it is important to put a number of facts on the record and outline the sequence of events over the last few weeks. On February 12th, following the UEFA Nations League Draw I released a written statement in my capacity as the Sinn Féin spokesperson for sport, which never mentioned Drogheda United in any form. On February 16th I met with two Board Members of the club for a private conversation, I had no intention of making the matter public and always hoped for an amicable resolution but unfortunately details of this conversation were leaked to our fans, fans who elected me into the role as Chairperson and those who I have always vowed to be transparent and open with, as a result I had no option but to respond on February 18th to let the fans know that I had no intention of resigning. The facts also are that I was a sitting Councillor when Trivela took over Drogheda Utd and subsequently stood in two elections since, another local election and then a general election. Neither of these were ever an issue with Trivela and they were consulted prior to both, and they were supportive at the time. At the time Trivela took ownership of the club, the issue of a potential conflict was discussed with them and no issue was raised. Despite this, following my election as a TD, I asked Trivela last summer to do their own due diligence on this potential conflict of interest to reassure us all, which they did by consulting with both international and our own national governing bodies, and following no concerns being raised from any stakeholder, Trivela re-iterated they were happy for me to stay on in my role. This very fact proves to me that the underlying issue here is as I’ve stated from the beginning, my strong stance that Ireland should not play Israel in the UEFA Nations League while a genocide against the Palestinian people continues. Finally, it is important to point out that despite this previous internal process of due diligence, Trivela stated last week in a statement that they had carried out another internal review which I was not aware of, nor asked to partake in even though I was a board member, director and co-chairperson of the club. This alone is an injustice in itself. I’ve said it before and will say it again, Drogheda United has been the longest love of my life. I’m proud of our history and tradition and exceptionally proud that we are the first League of Ireland Club to ever have appointed a Female Chairperson. This, I hope, will in time pave the way for other clubs to reflect on their top tables and start implementing gender balance. To go down in history as having the honour of being the first female chair is obviously something I cherish, but more importantly, if it shows other women involved in the game that they too can smash their own glass ceiling that will always be my greatest achievement.
