@SimonHarrisTD Like you give a fuck about society. Shame on you. #JusticeforHarvey #ResignHarris

The blocking of the distribution of fuel is a sinister and despicable attack on our economy and our society. This is not a lawless country. The laws of the land must and will be applied without fear.

Closing the Dáil for 19 days for the Easter break is WRONG, Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD, while the whole world is facing a Trump led catastrophe, it is WRONG that our parliament is closed - and not conducive to cohesion in our society. #FuelProtest #DoNothingGovernment

@joni_askola A European travels to Russia. Big fucking swing. Grow up.

Russians are absolutely not ready to compromise, and Varoufakis went to Moscow because he is a pro-Russian traitor and idiot, who tries to help Russia against Europe

Mikey’s case has been raised time and time again in the Dáil, @conwaywalsh is constantly advocating for him and his family and it breaks my heart to see he is still left waiting in limbo. His family had been trying to get in touch with @CarrollJennifer last year and their emails were going unanswered (surprisingly). So when we went in to meet the health minister and Tánaiste, I pulled her aside and gave her Mikey’s mam’s contact details on paper directly to her. Mikey is most definitely known to government. His situation and his health decline is common knowledge within the Dáil, yet he is still left waiting with no plan of care. His family are advocating, and pleading their hearts out while our government enjoy a lovely long Easter break. @CarrollJennifer @SimonHarrisTD @HSELive

@thisisnothappen @NigelAWatson @HangBlaa Now your being disingenuous.

@ERCF1981 @NigelAWatson @HangBlaa I don’t, explain why?

Zelenskyy has picked the wrong side in the US-Israeli/Iran war. He’ll get no thanks from Trump and he has alienated many European supporters. How stupid is he to support an illegal war, while he seeks help to defend Ukraine against an illegal war? Should have stayed silent.

@NigelAWatson @thisisnothappen @HangBlaa Blown away by that Nigel. So much nuance👍 Have a lovely day.

@ERCF1981 @thisisnothappen @HangBlaa Bye bye…

@NigelAWatson @thisisnothappen @HangBlaa You know he wouldn't. And you know why he wouldn't.

@ERCF1981 @thisisnothappen @HangBlaa Who knows…he’s fighting a war… I imagine he has less time than yourself to ponder such “counter factuals”… But please…you carry on…everyone needs a hobby😎

Over 11,600 patients with suspected breast cancer not assessed within clinics’ target time last year -✍️ Eilish O'Reagan Of the “urgent” 30,100 patients ­referred last year, 18,443 were seen within 10 days, leaving 11,657 getting delayed appointments. Nationally, just six in 10 of the ­women referred to the breast clinics were assessed within that timeframe. #HealthCrisis #Cancer #Waitinglists #IrelandisBroken independent.ie/irish-news/hea…

Those members of the Left who condemn the ongoing fuel prices protests alongside FF/FG are traitors who should not be given a single vote at the next general election.

@thisisnothappen @NigelAWatson @HangBlaa If Russia wasn't using Iranian drones, would Zelensky's comments have been any different?

@ERCF1981 @NigelAWatson @HangBlaa Of course it is when its drones are being used by Russia.

The main losers of this war has been the Gulf States. Being frontline states for a declining hegemon is a disaster, as Ukraine and Europe will also at some point recognise. Frontline states in Asia, such as South Korea, Japan and Taiwan, are now having these discussions. The hegemon is gone and its alliance systems such as NATO must be replaced with inclusive security arrangements. Make peace with your neighbours!

@NigelAWatson @HangBlaa Same applies to EU member states. Money from Germany, France, Spain and others who still buy Russian LNG also funds Russian attacks on Ukraine. Why does nobody mention that? Iran, one of the most sanctioned states on the planet isn't the issue here.

@HangBlaa IRAN. ATTACKS. UKRAINE… That’s the only prism for Ukraine Why is this complicated?

@ZelenskyyUa "is important that the United States has taken this diplomatic step" Should the aggressor be rewarded for taking diplomatic steps? Would you say the same to Russia?

A ceasefire is the right decision that leads to ending the war. It means saving lives, abandoning the destruction of cities and villages, and allowing power plants and other infrastructure to operate normally – and thus provides the time and conditions necessary for diplomacy to deliver results. Ukraine has always called for a ceasefire in the war waged by Russia here in Europe against our state and our people, and we support the ceasefire in the Middle East and the Gulf that paves the way for diplomatic efforts. Ukraine tells Russia once again: we are ready to respond in kind if the Russians stop their strikes. It is obvious to everyone that a ceasefire can create the right preconditions for agreements. Various countries have been involved in the negotiating process, and it is important that the United States has taken this diplomatic step. In recent weeks, Ukraine has been helping to protect lives in the Middle East and the Gulf. Ukrainian expert military teams will continue to work in the region to help further develop security capabilities. The situation in this region has global implications – any threats to security and stability in the Middle East and the Gulf amplify challenges for the economy and the cost of living in every country. That is why security must be guaranteed, and the interests of every nation must be taken into account when defining post-war arrangements. It is equally essential to safeguard freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, and resolve on this issue also has global significance. To achieve the right outcome, active and coordinated action by the international community is needed. There must be more security after the war, not less. Ukraine will continue to work constructively with all partners. Thank you to everyone who is helping!

Thinking of the men & women of @defenceforces on @UNIFIL_ Peacekeeping duties in #Lebanon - & their families - Irish people should be so proud of them in these appalling circumstances - Whilst they cannot stop Israeli aggression -their presence & witness is saving countless lives

No written records between RTB and minister over mass eviction in Wexford, admits department -@louiseburne_ This is despite the minister telling reporters on March 4 that he had spoken to the head of the RTB, Rosemary Steen, about eviction notices served to 36 households at the Hazelwood Estate in Bridgetown, Co Wexford. The Social Democrats claim the lack of correspondence indicates James Browne did not take the matter seriously. Accusing the minister of "misleading", Mr Hearne added: "Just [makingl a phone call is not a request to the RTB to undertake a significant intervention and investigation of a mass eviction." #Evictions #Wexford #renters #HamesBrowne #FFG irishexaminer.com/news/politics/…

Some contrast between the guards response to these fuel protestors, and to people protesting at the use of Shannon Airport by the US war machine

@kajakallas What did you contribute during this conflict? Nothing. Condemning those who were attacked makes you untrustworthy and a morally repugnant individual.

The U.S.–Iran agreement on a ceasefire is a step back from the brink after weeks of escalation. It creates a much-needed chance to tone down threats, stop missiles, restart shipping, and create space for diplomacy towards a lasting agreement. The Strait of Hormuz must be open for passage again. I spoke to Pakistani Foreign Minister @MIshaqDar50 and thanked him for securing this initial deal. The door to mediation must remain open, as the underlying causes of the war remain unresolved. The EU stands ready to support those efforts and is in touch with partners in the region. I will discuss this in Saudi Arabia today.

@Ostrov_A Global terror? Stop embarrassing yourself.

No, what is astounding is Mehdi saying "Right now. Iran is Ukraine". Beyond offensive. Sickening. Ukraine, unlike Iran, has not been waging global terror for 4+ decades. On contrary, Iran has been assisting Russia to attack Ukraine. Mehdi has lost the plot entirely!
