Just ignore the fact that 9 years ago the decision was made to stop building altogether.

I think it's now fair to assume that the Irish government has known about this all along, and simply doesn't care. All that grave "solidarity", all those "concerns" they expressed, aren't worth shit.

Independent senator Frances Black, sponsor of the Occupied Territories Bill, is publishing new legal advice by two EU law specialists, suggesting it would actually be illegal for Ireland *not* to fully pass the Bill in light of the ICJ’s rulings this summer on Israeli occupations

The state still will not say whether it knew these flights were taking place

The plane that transported slapper detonators, used in bombs to kill thousands of Gazans, through Irish airspace on 18 February – covered in this morning’s Ditch report – again flew through Irish airspace yesterday on its journey from Tel Aviv (via Liège Airport) to New York

Peak Ryan and Green party stuff..tweet about the imminent collapse of the AMOC one day and then support the sociopathic lunatic that is Michael OLearys and his screaming demand to grow his business by 100 million passengers

Stephen KKKer doesn’t care bout housing issues in Mayo. He wants only white Mayo. What a sad looser going around bullying asylum hotels. He’s a racist !! Here’s why he doesn’t care about housing issues in Mayo.

'The incident occurred on Saturday and is understood to have been on an Indian student who recently moved to Cork to study for a Master's Degree. It is understood a rope was put around the student’s neck in an apparent choking attempt' echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

Hundreds of people took part in a protest #Borrisokane tonight angry that families granted asylum & living there 5 years are being transferred ⁦RTÉ News⁩

Reminder of what Gript's in-house intellectual thinks after a few scoops.

Why aren't acts of solidarity such as these and the pro-Palestine movement, which are far bigger than any "Ireland is Full" demo, treated as reflecting the "legitimate concerns" of the Irish public by establishment media and politicians?

A group of men unprovoked targeted an Indian student in Cork City on Saturday and forcefully tied a rope on his neck attempting to strangle him. The International Student recently moved to Cork City to study his Masters. This scumbag was one of them. echolive.ie/corknews/arid-…

Been following this story. Main takeaway I have is that the media are not providing any kind of clear picture of the events - which to me resembled a two part mini pogrom that the 'forces of order' stood aside from and let happen.

States covertly funding media, both outlets and journalists, is a well-established practice. Interesting allegations against Tenet Media from the US DOJ. Interesting also to see Tenet Media’s interest in Ireland, the causes and politics with which it finds common purpose.

Gript really seems to have a problem with protecting children from abuse..

Ireland is broken and capitalism has no answers to poverty or exploitation because it depends on them to keep itself going A system where the top 10% have €518 billion while 20% of all the children in the state live in poverty has no legitimacy. We need to put people first!

Thanks to Deputy Thomas Pringle T.D. for this clear-cut statement: "The culture of employers being protected by the State to the detriment of workers must end. Bogus self-employment is widespread, and it doesn't benefit anyone but employers" "The question that has to be asked is

Getting whiplash from how fast the state went from bold declarations like "Vladimir Putin will be arrested if he sets foot on Irish soil" to now claiming there's "not much we can do" about over 50 tonnes of weapons being smuggled through Irish airspace.

I just got this motion passed but it seems #farright cllrs don’t really want more social & affordable housing built, just like to use it to stir racism. Because National Party Cllr Quinlan ABSTAINED. Local people on housing list or priced out of homes should take note. #dubw
