One of the things that made me proud to be Irish was neutrality and peace. We've an outsized weight in modern world and should have used it to be brutal and unerring in a search for ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine. Instead, we didn't. That is a terrible waste of what we should be.

This is the problem with Tik Toc politics. Sure, most people have strong opinions on this. And they should. But at a ballot box people want solutions to their own struggles, not what is trending.

The standard of Waterford-Tipperary so far is atrocious. I get you've to claim Munster hurling games are intense and amazing and what not, but the skill set is woeful here. The amount of basic mistakes would be maligned elsewhere.

I know we can't question great players, but win or lose, Galway are a really badly managed and coached team. They've no identity, tactics, style or improvement under Henry Shefflin.

Well done Deta Hedman. Cost herself money, opportunity and prestige by refusing to play biological men in women's darts. Courage that takes is big, but importance is bigger. A leader.

Ewan MacKenna I somehow doubt this kid, who went to the same elite private school as both Boris Johnson and Ursula Von Der Leyen, to be genuinely socialist let alone being a Marxist.

Why is the Book of Kells in Trinity? Shouldn't one of our most famous documents be in a national museum, as opposed to being used by a taxpayer-recieving business to drive profit? Now would seem a good time to remove what is ours to help people as opposed to help elites.

Why doesn't he complain to his diplomat parents. Yet one more spoilt rich kid, getting the best of everything, looking for attention, before slipping back into the system. It's fucking pathetic and these are the people that destroyed the left and our values. Abhorrent.

My views on Palestine are well known. However, I always get the feeling that Irish college kids just copy what the US does for attention rather than any greater good. Trinity looks bad too but not really sure how cans in a tent in Dublin and four deck chairs against a door help.

7. Scrap HSE and run health properly given budget.
8. Houses.

Sinn Fein bemoaning violence? Ps this is what you get with them. Pointing at a fringe to ignore fair wishes of vast majority and skirt around the real issue. Cheap and easy politics and more of the same.

I think migrants need to be made aware that the safest areas with the best resources are in and around Dublin 4.

It's quite incredible. The same people who demanded local communities lose hotels and tourism to take in a huge percentage of their population, with no facilities, are back tracking when it comes to the best resourced areas doing a tiny fraction of the lifting.

Here is your new Labour and their beliefs. Ivana Bacik shown as the elitist hypocrite she is. Tunes change when the great umwashed inconvenience those with no inconvenience.
