No mention that the strike should have gotten congressional approval, the initial attack by Israel was unlawful or that Iran is a signee of the NPT and as of March the US intelligence report had no credible evidence Iran was near bomb capability or the intent to get there.

All political correspondents and editors are in an abusive relationship with politics. No matter how much it hurts them, us, society, democracy they find a way to forgive and take it back.

Whatever the right or wrong of it, scenes from the Dáil are frankly embarrassing... No winners in this one... Far too much time wasted on this... Committees not even formed... No legislation being passed... Get on with it!!!

One person's argy is another protect our democracy. This is a serious issue. It's not pointless, a government not protecting an oppositions right to hold them accountable is a dangerous way to go.

Our Union is one of freedom & equality. Everyone should be able to be who they are, live & love freely. The right to gather peacefully is a fundamental right to be championed across the European Union. We stand with the LGBTQI community - in Hungary & in all Member States.



Tent providers at the Galway races, start to cry.

So to talk about housing the Government send Robert Troy onto @RTERadio1. A guy who resigned for not being able to remember how many properties he owned in a year? #housing #fiannafail not really taking this serious are they.


What data gave him that belief, when did he get it, who provided it, did he request other sources. The questions not asked by RTE, or any work put into to find out.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said that his party did not give false housing figures before the election and that the expected number of completions were "a genuine belief" at the time rte.ie/news/politics/…



Prepare to be underwhelmed.

Self imposed tough days and showing already they ain't got any aptitude to solve any of the countries needs.

It has been a tough ten days for the Government since it was formed, between anger at the response to storm management, ministerial gender imbalance and a Dáil impasse, writes Juliette Gash rte.ie/news/politics/…

Huge traffic jams around Galway due to little restoration of power around the county. So much for Galway super junior ministers. No restoration times for areas like Gort, Athenry, Kinvara. #StormEowyn @ESBNetworks

Joint statements now, just make it one party.

1/2 Statement from Simon Harris & Micheál Martin. “The formation of groups in Dail Eireann is a matter for the Ceann Comhairle. Issues regarding Dail reform and groupings can and should be discussed by a Dail reform committee….



....eh any chance it was anything about corrupt Lowry and the Ceann Comhairle position being used as a bartering chip for this government formation. No?


Imagine screwing up your appointment as Taoiseach for Lowry.
