Ireland this week: 1) Tries to de-name a park because it's called after a Jew. 2) State broadcaster refuses to go to Eurovision because Israel is there. 3) Taxpayer funded de facto arm of state launches legal proceedings against Microsoft for doing business with Israel.…

This is one of the most telling exchanges you’ll ever see on Irish radio. RTE’s O’Mongain reminds Boyd Barrett that Russia invaded ALL OF UKRAINE & only failed due to heroic resistance & because Ukraine was well armed by the west.RBB loses his cool & argues for total capitulation

It's a tale of two cities tonight, or two councils. In Belfast, they're rowing over a Palestinian flag. In Dublin, they're rowing over a park named after a former President of Israel. Councils are supposed to administer services for ratepayers. They are not stunt echochambers.

Next up: Dublin City Council to replace the name of Leopold Bloom in Ulysses to Lorcan Brennan, lest anyone realise that the most famous piece of Irish literature centred around an Irish Jew.

In the middle of a housing crisis where builders can’t be found anywhere, this looper wants the Rock of Cashel re-roofed.

Should we re-roof the Rock of Cashel? Ireland is dotted with ruined castles. Where is the vision for them? Michael McDowell in today's @irishtimes michaelmcdowell.ie/should-we-re-r…

The IRA thought they were activists - they were terrorists. @naoisedolan wants climate terrorism. She wants countries brought to their knees until she gets her way. Her views being promoted willingly by the @Independent_ie

The class interests of billionaires are fundamentally opposed to climate justice. Until they and the politicians who support them are willing to betray those interests, climate conferences are mere theatre m.independent.ie/opinion/commen…

We're a laughing stock. You can arrive here illegally, intentionally scam us, steal our money under false pretences and not only will we not punish you in any way... we'll give you an Irish passport.

Spoil the Vote has changed political discourse. Ivan & Matt talk about asylum for 15 mins… they’ve never done that before. Ivan finally calls out the planning exemptions for IPAS. These exemptions are extraordinary, we have been saying it for ~3 years. They must end now.


Looking forward to @paulmurphy_TD and @RuthCoppingerSP marching on Saturday about this.

214,000 spoiled brats to be precise. That’s a pretty big brigade.

The #spoilthevote brigade are spoiled brats who take our hard won precious democracy for granted
