It's the roadway to push us into NATO and into an EU army. Neutrality has worked for us, there is no reason for us to change that.
I have asked them again & again - where do they want to send troops that they can’t currently? They refuse to answer.

It's a lie that anyone has a veto on our deployments. No such veto exists because motions passed by UN General Assembly unlock the UN element of the triple lock.

The existence of so-called ‘Super Juniors’ Ministers is a political stroke designed to spread around the spoils of office. This government has gone even further in this stroke to facilitate the Lowry group with the creation of four so-called ‘Super Junior’ roles.

Most certainly
Ireland should not be supporting the deranged fascists in the White House.
They're deranged - with Netanyahu, Trump has broadcast to the world his deranged plans to commit ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

They must not be allowed to continue this.

No Irish politician should consider attending any St. Patrick’s Day White House events with this psychopath. Boycott this genocidal
Trump broadcasts his Deranged crimes against humanity

I'm autistic but can't get a diagnosis on the public system.

Told a private diagnosis will cost €2,000.

Penny pinching on preventative healthcare is a false economy.

Ireland NEEDS a better public healthcare system.

But decades off FF FG Government's have deliberately run down public health.

What's the point of having opposition if the government can just stack it up with td's which are actively supporting the government. It is ridiculous that this is even happening. Nothing new from ffg tho...
Radical idea:

Government TDs sit on the Government benches and speak on Government time.

Sin é.

What to take away from the Irish Seaned Elections - is that they are exclusive, unfair and undemocratic.

Only a few thousand university alumni vote.

Millions of constituents on the electoral register are excluded.

This is not democratic.

Ireland needs electoral reform.

The #Seanad Elections so far

The wins, the losses, the surprises, the numbers, who got elected who didn't and what to take away so far.

When millions of struggling workers want to join unions, Trump's decision to neuter the NLRB is blatantly illegal. It is also a huge gift to Musk, Bezos & other billionaires who want to abolish the only federal agency that can stop their union busting.

Trump firings at labor board threaten union win at Whole Foods – and beyond
Whole Foods workers in Philadelphia voted to unionize early this week but may be stuck in limbo due to President Donald Trump firing leaders at a federal labor regulator.

In the 20th century, they were known as "concentration camps." Now, they are simply called "housing."

Doesn't that sound so much more humane? Voila, problem solved!

It'll actually be higher due to goods changing borders during manufacturing. But sure, the problem is DEI obviously.
Canada tarrifs, Mexico tarrifs, China tarrifs, Europe tarrifs. USA is accelerating towards isolation. It's America's form of brexit. Too bad the average voter of the current government fails to understand that this is actually a 25% tax on his life and not the other way around.

Centrists will always collaborate with the far-right before even looking towards the left. France and Germany are just the latest examples of this.
Lessons to be learned:

1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration
2. Centrists gain nothing
3. Far-right wins more power

Utterly ridiculous and shameful behaviour on the part of the Government.
After 10 hours of meetings this was the government's new proposal for the Lowry group.
This is literally a proposal for his group to be treated as an opposition group in every single way except they're called 'hybrid'.
That cannot and will not be accepted.

The UK most certainly should. It is necessary for Europe to stand united and strong in the face of Imperialism in the east and Fascism in the West.
Rejoining the EU should be a top priority in the next election, we should absolutely focus on it.

When is the occupied territories bill going to be passed? Why does it take a year to pass this but sanctions on Russia was immediate. Genocide is not dependent on geopolitics.

Our neutrality is Essential.
Why are Irish troops playing the EU's 'war games'?

When people rejected the Lisbon Treaty, we were given a supposed 'guarantee' that there would be no push for an EU army. Now they are doing it through the back door, through so-called 'EU Battlegroups'.

Think your vote doesn't matter? Every vote counts for better healthcare, housing and local services.

Don't sit this one out, use your vote to be part of real change.

Party over Country from Martin it seems, further backing up his claims that the IRA cuased the troubles. Bloody tool for Unionist Propaganda.

Sure, he knows SF is popular in the north and that his party would stand no chance.

Remember what happened with the last 'rainy-day fund'?🤔

We should be investing in the fundamental problems in our society, making people's lives better; creating a state construction company, National Health Service, and a National Childcare Service.
