3.5 Hours Dáil Debate Today Could Decide If Your Children Face Foreign Wars: Should Ireland’s People Decide by Referendum? Taoiseach Micheál Martin is pressing ahead with legislation to scrap the UN element of Ireland’s Triple Lock, even as a mere three-and-a-half hours of Dáil debate today may determine a fundamental shift in the conditions under which Irish troops can be deployed overseas. Opposition parties argue that a decision with lasting implications for military neutrality and future generations cannot be rushed through after so little scrutiny. The Triple Lock currently requires UN authorisation, Government approval and a Dáil vote before more than 12 Irish troops take part in certain overseas missions. The Government contends that the UN Security Council requirement effectively grants permanent members such as Russia, China or the United States a veto over Irish participation, risking the end of Ireland’s long peacekeeping tradition, as seen with the impending expiry of the UNIFIL mandate in Lebanon. Martin has described reform as essential to preserve that tradition. Yet the push faces resistance not only from Sinn Féin, Labour, the Social Democrats, Aontú and Independent Ireland, but from within Fianna Fáil itself. Former Minister for Defence Willie O’Dea has raised serious concerns, and roughly 20 party colleagues have reportedly signed a letter questioning the plans. Martin previously described the Triple Lock as “at the core of our neutrality.” Critics ask why the safeguard must be removed entirely rather than modified, and why alternatives have not been more fully explored. Public opinion adds further weight to the calls for caution. A September Irish Times poll found 44 per cent favoured retaining the Triple Lock, compared with 34 per cent who supported its removal. Opposition parties and campaigners argue that a change of this scale should be put to the people in a referendum rather than settled by a Government majority after only a few hours of debate. Martin has rejected that route, stating that the mechanism is not a constitutional provision and that the Dáil should legislate. Removing the UN requirement would alter the legal framework governing future deployments. While the Government insists any mission would still need Cabinet and Dáil approval and remain consistent with the UN Charter, opponents warn that the change could open the door to greater entanglement in international military structures over time. For parents and grandparents watching today’s debate, the question is whether the next generation of Irish soldiers could face commitments abroad under rules decided in a single short parliamentary session. Should the Irish people decide by referendum whether this safeguard stays or goes, or is a rushed Dáil vote after 3½ hours of debate sufficient to settle the fate of deployments that could affect their children and grandchildren?

RAPE OF A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL IN THE CARE OF TUSLA BY MULTIPLE MEN IS IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT “RECRUITMENT OF STAFF” AS THE TAOISEACH CLAIMS, IT’S ABOUT THE FAILURE TO IDENTIFY THE GANGS OF MEN INVOLVED AND PUT THEM BEHIND BARS A 14-year-old child with an intellectual disability is reportedly being sexually exploited by multiple men while in State care. Deputy Liam Quaide raised this horrific case directly with the Taoiseach. And what became the “fundamental issue” in the Taoiseach’s response? Staffing. Recruitment. Special-care beds. Those failures are serious. But listen to this exchange and ask yourself: WHO ARE THE MEN? Where is the outrage about the adults sexually exploiting this child? What is being done to identify them, stop them, investigate them and bring them to justice? Why does the conversation so quickly become about finding a secure bed for HER, rather than also putting the full force of the State behind pursuing THEM? This child needs protection. But she should not become the focus of the State’s containment while the adults exploiting her fade into the background. RAPE IS NOT A STAFFING ISSUE. PUT THE SPOTLIGHT ON THE MEN.

HOW HAMAS GOT THE CEMENT The Israeli army last week dismantled a mile-long Hamas tunnel that it found underneath the area where Israeli forces currently are deployed in Gaza. The Washington Post has estimated that Hamas built more than 1,300 terror tunnels in Gaza in the years preceding October 7, 2023. So how did Hamas acquire the cement for all that construction, despite Israel’s blockade of such materials? The terrorists had help from then-US Mideast envoy Dennis Ross—according to Ross himself. In an op-ed in the Post on August 8, 2014, Ross admitted that, as an envoy for the Obama administration, he pressured Israel to allow Hamas to import cement. Ross made that demand even though the Israelis warned him that Hamas was using cement for military purposes. “At times,” he wrote in the Post, “I argued with Israeli leaders and security officials, telling them they needed to allow more construction materials, including cement, into Gaza so that housing, schools and basic infrastructure could be built. They countered that Hamas would misuse it, and they were right.” Against their better judgment, the Israelis gave in to Ross’s pressure. And they paid a steep price. The tunnels were what made October 7 possible. That’s where the terrorists trained, out of sight of Israeli surveillance. That’s where they stored their weapons. And that’s where they enslaved, tortured, and raped Israeli hostages. The same Dennis Ross recently wrote an op-ed in the Israeli press, in which he sought to influence how Israelis vote in their upcoming election. Will Israeli voters now take advice from someone who has admitted that he helped enable Hamas to build the terror tunnels? -Dennis A. Ross

HAINES DIRT FILE For five weeks journalists have been digging dirt for Albanese on Helen Haines They’ve been making inquiries in the local community, and probing her personal, professional and family ties to try to establish links to $1.8 Billion worth of projects in the Indi electorate ***Just imagine how much distrust this creates*** Even questioning Helen Haines’ reputation has the potential to stir up resentment in a small town. Albanese and his office were fully aware of the impact Helen was well aware of their behaviour. She knew about the Dirt File and that she’d be targeted for speaking out about the $6 million donation to Albanese’s golf club Haines had also referred roughly $1.35 billion in non-competitive 2022 election commitment grants to the Australian National Audit Office. She argued they overwhelmingly favoured Labor seats, which amounted to a “closed shop” corruption She introduced the End Pork Barrelling Bill. See why Labor were after her…

Some day soon Irish MSM will twist themselves into oblivion

The government can no longer deny what is in front of the eyes of the people of Ireland. Why are they allowing this to continue? How many more innocents are to be sacrificed on the globalist altar before they invoke emergency action? Our country is being destroyed from within. There is simply no excuse for silence, either from all of our so-called "public representatives" or our nation's people. Enough is enough. 🇮🇪 gript.ie/teens-in-court-over…

Aye she's a Wicklow woman alright 🤭

Can nobody in Glasgow fry food?? Why does a chippy need 7 foreign managers in 2025? Why did they use 29 visa certificates in 2025?

A chip shop in Glasgow is paying for foreign people to come to Glasgow to run the Chip Shop? Rather than hire local people they are paying for Foreigners to come to Glasgow? It’s a fucking chip shop, what’s going on?

Elon Musk reveals that an ex-Tesla employee who assaulted a woman for stepping on his prayer rug went on to kill three students in Austin. MUSK: "We had someone who was working at the Tesla factory in Austin until December of last year. He was fired because he assaulted a woman who stepped on his prayer rug in the factory. Okay. So she wasn't expecting anyone to be praying in the factory, and he was praying in the factory. She accidentally stepped on his prayer rug, and he assaulted her. He violently assaulted her. So he was fired for that, and then a few months later, he went and killed three students in a bar in downtown Austin. Now, I think we shouldn't let people like that into the country. Do you?"

When they call you Islamophobes, I want you to remember that 200 years ago, in Chios, 42.000 Greek Christians were massacred by the Muslim Turks and 52.000 were sold into slavery. Never forget that.

This is SO awkward Albanese is asked “on the tone of debate” why he sought information on Helen Haines by circulating questions to the press gallery after she’d criticised him He refuses to answer the question. It’s put to him three times, and he deflects. Each time he looks more and more guilty dailymail.com/news/article-1…
