With Trumps threats to Greenland’s independence growing every day, a strong EU response is vital.
I’m calling on the Taoiseach to urgently brief Opposition leaders on the possible use of the EU Anti-Coercion Instrument and the impact on Ireland of the new tariffs threat 🇮🇪 🇬🇱 🇪🇺

While much of Europe has been in the Freezer, Australia has seen high temperatures over 40c with a lot of fires in Victoria and a state of disaster declared as fire crews force people to evacuate after 150,000 hectares burned in one fire alone near Longwood.

2/2 the creation of it is not provided for in the legislation. It is in Child Sexual Abuse Media under the 2017 act but does not in the other legislation.
This Government needs to amend the legislation and protect women and children from harm. #politics #ireland #twitter #elonmusk #grok #deepfake

1/2 In light of the violations by Grok the X AI chatbot let's look at the gap in Irish law.
There's an apparent and dangerous gap in the law. Under Coco's law that got enacted in 2020 the sharing of deepfake and harmful content is illegal so is the using of such material for harrassment. However

The U-turns on road safety by this government would make your head spin. Lower default speed limits, RSA reform and red light camera pilot all abandoned while deaths and serious injuries are rising.

Feljin Jose: Seán Canney has earned the nickname ‘Minister for U-turns’ – and there’s a reason for that
Here’s a riddle for you: if two wrongs don’t make a right, but three lefts do make a right, how many U-turns make you spiral out of control?
