A watered down version maybe being inacted nearly 9 years on from when it was originally drafted, nearly 3 years into the current genocide, nearly 2 years on from when they swore to the public they would inact it during the election. Cowards.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
There were some positive parts of their manifesto that they were able to get passed, yes, but were those really worth the tradeoff?
Clearly, Roderic has missed the point. You are supposed to be prepared to enter government in order to actually help people, what the Greens were part of during their time in government was the worsening of the housing crisis, the delaying of the OTB, the erosion of our neutrality and so much more.
Not a word of condemnation a criticism about the US / Israeli attacks.
The EU is a walkover because we act tough when it’s easy. But roll over when it matters.

The clip of this moment made me go back and watch the full episode. The questioning & examination of govt policy by @newschambers.bsky.social and @aislingmaloney.bsky.social is quite good, worth the watch.

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

“So now you have the Gardaí, the AI Minister and multiple legal experts including @iccl.bsky.social saying the legislation is all there already - it’s going to be increasingly difficult for the Government not to take a position on this”.
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.
Fair play to the @social-democrats.bsky.social for quiting X and coming over here. Other parties, take notes. 👏

Lots of abusive and misogynistic far-right posts on X are the first replies to the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
This is the 'engagement' that the Irish government has been using to justify remaining on X. These are the top replies to a randomly chosen recent post.
when Norma Foley asked social media companies to do more for child safety last year, X didn't even bother to attend. Don't believe their lies, ban them immediately #speirgorm
