I’m a linear park along the banks of the Ward River, next to Swords town. Heavily wooded areas. Impressive diversity of wildlife. Many ancient monuments. 🇮🇪🇵🇸

Trump's attack on Venezuela will create global instability.
Will prolong the Ukraine war. How could the US condemn and sanction Russia?
Encourage Putin to kidnap Zelensky.
Encourage China to takeover Taiwan.
What is the point of the UN if rogue powers can do whatever they want?

At Der Spiegel, the topic is now called the “Venezuela crisis.” There is no Venezuela crisis, and there was and is no Ukraine crisis or Ukraine conflict.
There are wars of aggression against sovereign states.

How was landlord TD Robert Troy appointed Minister of State for Finance in 2025?
The man who had to resign as Minister of State in 2022 for failing to declare his property portfolio as well as other wrongdoings & misdemeanours

With record homeless nos, renters paying gentrified prices for shite, out of reach housing costs & record no. of empty homes is anyone really surprised that we have 61 TDs including Ministers who are landlords / multi-property owners
How are these setting policy?

DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.
My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.
Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

People might well ask why I keep banging on about the past like this?
Because a continual succession of FF-FG governments is NOT the way to get the change Ireland needs, but small progressive parties (especially the Greens and Labour) have a history of failing to grasp that.
