@IrishTimesOpEd The "far-right" lives in his head. How about a few articles from O'Toole about the government's incompetence? Or anything on the government buying the Irish media, including the Irish Times, with subsidies?

A statement from University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., in support of Pope Leo XIV:

I hope you are paying attention @Keir_Starmer @bphillipsonMP and @lisanandy Women have had enough - Implement the #SupremeCourtRuling now! You have a duty to uphold the law! #OneYearLater @acts_grassroots

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah). In memory of 6,000,000 who were murdered solely because they were Jewish. Never Again.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council spent €753,528 on the construction of 14 steps, a handrail and a ramp at Deerpark in Mount Merrion, Co Dublin – exceeding the original budget by €500,000. jrnl.ie/6927567

The government is currently threatening media outlets for failing to convey the official viewpoint, despite the substantial payments made to them. #WhatAMess

The State is gaining from the fuel crisis, so fairness demands that people are protected from it, not left to carry the burden while being handed back only a tiny portion of their own money. aontu.ie/sign-we-have-n…

In my opinion, this should be shared EVERYWHERE. 20 random westerners sat down to watch what Palestinian kids are taught in UNRWA schools. It may shock you, it may not, either way there are people that have no clue about what is actually going on - so it’s worth sharing.

Did you know the Irish government gave €114 million to palestine over the last 3 years? They would literally prefer to give our tax money to jihadis than spend it on Irish people. #fuelprotest

@Tungsten_Tales Go play against your fellow men.

😢 A tearful Noa-Lynn Van Leuven has announced her "retirement" after revealing a DRA ruling banning transgender players from women's darts events. "I just got an email, apparently I just got retired. Not by choice but because I am longer allowed to compete, the DRA decided that trans women are no longer allowed in women's events." "With just one decision, I am being told I don't belong anymore. This isn't just about me, it's another huge hit for the trans community." #Darts | Via Noa-Lynn Van Leuven Instagram

Disgraceful! The National Concert Hall in Ireland has cancelled our planned performance of the OCTOBER 7 play. It seems there is no room in Ireland for the truth about Israel. We went to Israel after the massacre to collect the testimony of those who lived through the country’s darkest day. We saw there was a need for the truth in Ireland and further afield. We created a verbatim play from the stories we heard. The New York Post described the OCTOBER 7 play as “compelling”. It has been performed off-Broadway for six weeks and in Princeton, UCLA , Bowdoin College and the Kennedy Center in DC. Every performance was sold out. But now because of the actions of the National Concert Hall Irish people will not be allowed to hear the truth about October 7 and Israel - in the words of those who lived through the day. This is hugely damaging to Ireland’s reputation as a home for art and artists. What a statement this makes! OCTOBER 7 has Jewish and Arab voices. The National Concert Hall has told them: we don't want to hear your stories. It's shameful but will not be allowed to stand. We will bring the OCTOBER 7 play to Ireland.

The HSE is funding gender surgeries abroad, yet cannot say what procedures are being carried out. Spending has risen from €21k in 2022 to over €333k in 2024. No procedure-level data. No cost breakdown. No outcome tracking. That is a failure of oversight. Further questions submitted. The Minister must answer. #Accountability #Health #Ireland

NEW: Independent TDs Sean Canney, Marian Harkin, and ‘Boxer’ Moran have confirmed they will vote confidence in the Government. Barring any backbench rebels, the Government has secured the 87 votes they need to win the vote.

Here’s @Nick_Delehanty on fire again At least now you know why fuel prices can’t be dropped or carbon taxes axed They need the money to pay for people that, 80% of which, shouldn’t be here in the first place. Back to work everyone

Micheál Martin needs to go. #noconfidence #fuel #aontú #aontúaccountability

You're being taxed so heavily for essentials so that politicians can give billions to foreigners. It's that simple.

We hand tens of millions to Ukraine and they build a 1.2 billion euro luxury ski resort. While we shuffle 5,000 children between B&Bs on a daily basis because we haven't invested in housing.

One of the many problems with this is that someone who looked and sounded exactly like Minister of Defence (and other stuff) @HMcEntee delivered a speech announcing all this and paraded out the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces beside her. As a commissioned army officer and Chief of Staff, he cannot disobey an order from his civilian superior, the Minister of Defence. A key job of his minister is to make sure the Defence Forces are never put in a compromising position. She should resign now. What she should have done last week was resign in protest and refused to give such an order.
