I grew up in a time when we knew what it really was and how it came about. Colonial violence and lies were always part of it. Did these stupid churches think if they welcomed the devil in that it would be a good thing? 🪶

I have an interview with Holly Cairns in today's paper, marking her return from maternity leave. We spoke about: the difficulty of travelling from cork to Dublin with a baby, Ivan Yates claim that the length of her mat leave was a sign she "wasn't serious" (!)

How she'd rather lose her seat that change position on nitrates derogation, being open to water charges on environmental grounds, the Sinn Féin policies that aren't left wing, regrets on the care ref, TDs being rude about greyhound racing, and protecting her baby's privacy. And more!

It's emblematic of the do-nothing government, that one of the parties isn't able to deliver an internal report on time and without a row.

If Finna Fail can't get their act together to produce this report what hope of them producing anything in government?

Leaving aside the conflict of interest thing, surely Yates is unemployable after this because he’s just obviously terrible at his job?
"You may not know this, but there exists, among certain cohorts of the public, a perception that Ireland’s political establishment and media establishment are too intimately connected. And what on Earth would give them that idea?"

Typical #ivanyates , there was a very competent person leading the party while Holly Cairns was on a maternity leave she was entitled to. I guess he’d prefer if working women didn’t have babies?

This poor kid. The two blagards are hyping each other up, and whoever has the camera is with them, that poor lad hasn’t a chance. Between the Gardaí, & the schools in Tuam, someone will recognise them.
Disgusting assault on a brown skinned child by scumbag youths in Tuam, Co Galway. But unsurprising, sadly. It's the TikTok/Snapchat culture for clicks and likes these days. Social media needs to be held far more accountable for allowing this horrific content on their apps.
