“The rules on family reunification – where members of a successful asylum seeker’s family can be granted permission to join them in Ireland – would be tightened and limited to immediate family members only” Again, this is already the law, FG/Lab government ended FR for extended family in 2015!

Th American Association of Pro Life OBGYNs released a statement on the death of Tierra Walker
“Maternal-fetal separation”?
She needed an abortion to save her life.
Her eclampsia started early, before the fetus was viable.
Say the word so that everyone knows the draconian bans killed this woman

… to be lenient to him & repeatedly pointed out his fines & jailing for contempt had absolutely nothing to do with his anti-trans views. The media, especially outside Ireland, rarely if ever mentioned this. They had their anti-trans pronouns narrative.

How is this colossal weirdo the Euro Commission President? This is demented stuff.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said today that the fight against climate change was not against the fuels that cause it — only the pollution they emit.
Von der Leyen says EU is not fighting fossil fuels, only emissions
The comment could undermine European countries’ push at COP30 to move away from coal, oil and gas.
