Brenda Power is a rare voice of moral clarity amongst the Irish commentariat on this issue. In under a minute she eviscerates Ireland’s hypocrisy.
‘There wasn’t a single peep of protest to the Irish cricket team voluntarily playing Afghanistan last month, where women are treated worse than battery chickens. It is the most extreme humanitarian crisis in the world right now, as far as I can see, the gender apartheid in Afghanistan. Not a word of protest.’
‘Where was your indignation when we played [Afghanistan]? England wouldn’t play them, South Africa wouldn’t play them, New Zealand wouldn’t play them. The great humanitarians in Ireland had absolutely no difficulty. We’re hypocrites.’
Taoiseach says abolishing 'Triple Lock' is essential to retain peacekeeping tradition ✍️Elaine Loughlin
The Government is pressing ahead with controversial legislation that would drop the requirement to get UN Security Council approval before sending peacekeeping troops abroad
The Government is pressing ahead with controversial legislation that would drop the requirement to get UN Security Council approval before sending peacekeeping troops abroad, changing the current triple lock system into a “double lock”.
Under the proposals, approval would only be needed from Cabinet and the Dáil, but any deployment would have to be consistent with the principles of the UN Charter and international law.

Omg. A reporter just told Trump that there’s a blue tent out front of the White House used by radical leftists and Trump turned to the Secret Service and told them to get rid of it.
“TAKE IT DOWN! Today — right now! … Lafayette Park. Take it down!”
This is what I voted for.
It was an act of mentally damaging terrorism to terrify a whole nation including kids into believing that they could die a horrible death by a virus & they could infect & kill their loved ones but the reality was that there was no real threat. This is what Irish govt/MSM did!⚠️👇

Conflict. Extreme weather.
Rising living costs.
Millions of people are affected across the globe.
Europe is stepping up to support them.
Glad to announce more than $800 million for displaced people and their hosts across Africa.
And aid for for war-stricken communities.

This has to be the biggest bullshit lie on planet earth 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Majority of voters see immigration as a positive thing, but it’s a tighter call than before irishtimes.com/politics/2026…
WATCH: An Irish Government politician has said he "abhors" the view that Irish taxes should be spent fixing crises at home before being spent on foreign aid.
Should every political party be held criminally liable for anyone who’s killed, injured or defiled by any illegal immigrant because of the open borders policies of said political parties.
I believe they should.
Delehanty said a VAT bill of €16,000 every two months “should be my profit,” and that keeping even half of it would have let his company double in size:

Great piece by @karldeeter.
We live in a country that is now taking in more than twice as much tax as it did ten years ago: approximately €105.7 billion in Exchequer taxes in 2025, compared with €45.6 billion in 2015.
The Government is also spending twice as much, but where is the money going? We are investing some of it in infrastructure and transport, but where is the bulk of it going?
It has been squandered on foreign aid, IPAS accommodation for tens of thousands of people who are illegally in the country, billions on Ukrainians who should be self sufficient at this stage or have gone home, a hospital that may never open, a metro that has never been built, bike sheds costing hundreds of thousands, social housing for immigrants, and support for a huge number of people who should not be here, will never be net contributors and will always live off the State.
Billions more have been spent on wasteful NGOs that do nothing but encourage social division and demand even more wasteful spending. I could go on, because the list is endless.
Have the people benefited from this additional €60 billion? No. In fact, many are worse off as the cost of living continues to rise while wages remain stagnant.
The Government is surely in breach of the Constitution, which places a duty on it not to waste taxpayers’ money and be accountable. Yet nobody will lose their job, ever.
Yet the people continue to tolerate it.
A WHISTLEBLOWER has alleged that Garda personnel were wined and dined' and brought to a brothel' in Italy by a weapons supplier, the Seanad has heard ✍️ Brian Mahon
Senator Michael McDowell told the Seanad this week he is concerned about abuse of Garda power on a 'major scale' following a series of allegations by whistleblowers whom he believes to be 'genuine, patriotic servants of the Irish State'
'He was warned against speaking to other persons about his concerns and his position was threatened by his superiors. The matters he was concerned with were very serious.'

When I first read this I thought it was either a mistake or deliberate misinformation. I checked, it’s not, insane though it is it appears to be true.
Given the situation in the U.K. at the money this would cause absolute outrage and even our crazy government would never dare to do this….
But, people of Ireland 🇮🇪 are you even aware that this has been allowed. Newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers who have been given ID papers can vote in local elections only 15 days after arrival 😳 So in effect a man could somehow find his way to Ireland, claim asylum or refugee status, been given identity/registration papers while he waits for his case to be heard and literally 15 days later is allowed to take part in the democratic process and elect local councillors. What could possibly go wrong….Ireland should literally be in open revolt over this…..just listen, it’s madness. #ireland#irish
