Unhappy with our banking and political elite and their support cast who seem immune from the hardship their recklessness visited on the ordinary citizen.

Btw, if Gript hadn't been in the room, this never, ever would have been asked. No Irish politician would ever have had to address it, and the issue would have gone ignored. If you'd like to support the only people doing this work, you can do so at gript.ie/membership

With all due respect, Deacon, for me it isn't as much about denying that it happened or that Jewish people suffered, but strange is the sole focus on Jewish suffering when Armenian Christians and Danube Swabian Roman Catholics, for example, were also erased in large numbers.

Interesting that he doesn't seem to think elected politicians are subject to the same standard of misinformation scrutiny as the rest of us. #HowIrelandWorks

Secular ethics and policies are simply evil. There's no grounding for truth or morality. Can't explain when life begins, can't figure out what a boy or girl is. MAID for those who are mentally unwell. No thank you secular cult.

17 years ago today, I walked out of the abortion industry and never looked back. For a long time, "ex-abortion worker" felt like a scarlet letter — something people saw before they noticed anything else about me. Now, different labels carry more weight: wife & mother. If you're currently working in the abortion industry and are tired of that label, you can let it go. Find peace, healing, and freedom: abortionworker.com/

The Catholic Church found itself the target of the largest smear campaign in history. That’s part of the story. The other part is simply that many people wanted it to be true.

"It is just awful how one-sided the Health Committee has been in censoring evidence, testimony and lived experiences that don’t fit preconceived narratives. Women who say their children are alive because of the three-day wait deserve better." 🎥 Watch @SenatorKeogan's excellent contribution in the Seanad today, where she challenges the Oireachtas Health Committee on excluding the voices of women from their deliberations on the proposal to remove the three-day period of reflection prior to abortion. 🗣️ Women’s voices and lived experiences deserve to be heard. #savethe3daywait #3dayssaveslives #3daywaitbill

🚨 LEGEND On the evening of 21 September 2021, Richard O'Brien was driving alone along Wood Street in Barnet, north London. It was dark when he noticed two people arguing aggressively at the roadside. He pulled over, and then he saw it: a man was stabbing a woman. Richard didn't drive on. He moved his car forward to distract the attacker, then got out and tried to talk him down. When words failed, he went in, completely unarmed, and kicked the man, stopping the attack. By then the woman had been stabbed ten times and her injuries were life threatening. He didn't stop there. With another kick, Richard knocked the attacker to the ground and sent the knife flying from his hand. He dragged him away from the w*apon and held him face down on the pavement until police arrived. The woman was taken to hospital in a life threatening condition, and the official citation states that without his intervention she would likely have lost her life. Richard grew up in Stalybridge, Greater Manchester, and now lives in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, where he runs an electrical contracting business. He later said he hadn't stopped to consider the danger to himself until he got home that night. The woman he saved only properly met him after he gave evidence at the Old Bailey trial, and only then did she learn who had rescued her. In October 2025, Richard was awarded the King's Gallantry Medal for exemplary bravery. On 25 March 2026, he received it from His Majesty King Charles III at St James's Palace. An ordinary man on an ordinary drive home, who chose to stop when it mattered most. Thank you, Richard.

The very idea you would give an immigrant permission to remain who is not financially independent, a burden on the state welfare system and can’t provide for themselves is lunacy.
Ben Scallan asks Housing Minister James Browne "what's the point" in investing €3bn in social housing when a lot of it will go to non-citizens, asking: "Do you think the Irish State has more of a responsibility to Irish citizens than it does to the rest of the world?"

It's taken a long time, but even our national media have now acknowledged that immigration is driving demand for housing. We will never be able to solve the housing crisis until we end the immigration scam. #HouseTheIrish

If they're willing to leave 109 & rising "aborted" live babies to die in a cold room with no mercy shown. They're not terribly serious about building a hospital to actually treat sick children.

There are over 100,000 defects in the National Children's Hospital.... so far. The Dept cannot tell us if it will be open in 2027, 2028 or 2029. No one has lost their job, not least Simon 'It wasn't me' Harris, who signed the contract.

Irish Catholic Bishop Kevin Doran has expressed support for cancelling a secular musical performance at a Catholic church, saying that a church is not a concert venue. “The important thing is to preserve the nature of the church and the sanctuary as a sacred space.”

You cannot call a once off €500 payment a ‘cost of disability payment’. That isn’t anywhere near what is needed to meet the extra costs a lot of disabled people face. Not only that, they have tied it to those in receipt of another long term disability payment, completely forgetting that there are many people living with a disability and all those same extra costs but are not currently entitled to any of those support payments. Then to top it off, they’re now saying the permanent ‘cost of disability’ payment won’t be until 2028?! How can they say we live in a rich country but yet leave so many people in poverty?

Watch as @ColmBurkeTD and Dr Kirsten Fuller made it clear there are doctors who provide abortions who see a definite benefit in a protected 72 hours for reflection. Deputy Burke, in his comments at the Health Committee, described as “flawed” the research used during the hearings to justify removing the three-day wait before abortion - as it missed out on the views of women who didn’t come back for the second consultation. Thanks to both for their contributions to a more balanced debate! #ProLife #ProLifeCampaign #Oireachtas #HealthCommitee #3DayWait

Reports on various RTE news programmes today about the Spanish election. Lots of mentions of the far-right. Listeners not told Sanchez is in government with the far-left or that it is mired in corruption scandals.
