The response of Micheál Martin and Simon Harris to the announcement of the matches against Israel tells us exactly who they are, the mask is now totally off. They actively support engagement with Israel and openly oppose any sort of sanction. Everything they have said to date is a lie. #Spéirghorm

A lot of the discussion in the media around the SocDem conference and their record polling seems to be an attempt at grooming them to be the next mudguard for FF&FG, it would be really nice if the SocDems and other Left parties ruled it out & committed to a Left coalition.... #SpéirGhorm

Richard is an outstanding journalist doing great work, and his key talent is that he simply refuses to blindly accept whatever bullshit people in power try to tell him.
When everyone else is trying to find someone to tell them if it's raining or not, Richard is the only one looking out the window.

Accreditation of new Iranian ambassador postponed yet Dana Erlich was invited to FF functions as Israel committed genocide.
Taoiseach favours new sanctions on Iran but zilch sanctions imposed on Israel while munitions for genocide flow through Shannon.

The government's actions (or lack thereof) around Mercosur and the CSAM on X are two more indefensible things that will inevitably get this government... re-elected, probably. #SpéirGhorm

This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

Ireland and the EU should be actively shouting about US breaches of international law right now - failure to do so contributes to normalisation of a new era of colonial gangsterism.

This is a blatant imperialist attack for oil and power in Latin America.
Will the Irish government condemn this flagrant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty?
