President Catherine Connolly has described the situation in the Middle East as a "deliberate assault on international law".

A little timeline cleanse for cheese lovers....
A leader speaking about a war he opened by killing nearly 200 young girls right at the start of their school week:
By not calling out an illegal war that has already seen hundreds of children killed, once again the Irish government is at odds with the will of the Irish people.
Winning a seat or election is not a blanket mandate to do whatever you want - it is the granting of the right to represent the voters.
You cannot talk like this about any other minority in America.
And if it was any other president’s adviser who said something like this about any other minority, it’d be the instant end of their presidency.
If images emerge of Iranian politicians signing missiles, what will western media say? They were awfully quiet when the autographed missiles were heading for schools and hospitals and tents in Gaza, so I assume they’ll be consistent and equitable.
Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.
Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?
Why couldn't Helen McEntee or Micheál Martin say this? Are they too afraid of displeasing the multinationals? Are they worried about potential Irish legal complicity due to the use of Shannon? Their response has been shameful.

Complicit cowards. Unwilling to critique American actions of aggression. Sickening stuff. No such hesitancy, and rightly so, when it comes to russian acts of imperialist aggression.
People who deny that Israel discriminates against its Arabic citizens go quiet when this is publicised.

if the public statements of our most senior EU diplomat were your only information source you'd have no idea the strikes against Iran had even happened, much less that they were an unprovoked act of aggression that killed 85 after hitting a primary school
As Democracy Volunteers are the source of the claim of "Family Voting" in the Gorton & Denton by election, I got curious about their claims and thanks to @joenoonan.bsky.social I came across this claim about "Family Voting" during the 2020 Irish General Election.
A brief 🧵
The first woman in Parliament to appear in the Guardian's 'best-dressed at Glastonbury' feature.
You'll never sing that, etc...
The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.
The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.
Can’t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year ago…
Tomorrow night Dublin! Hear from Rula Nasr-Mazzawi, a Palestinian community activist from Nazareth on the situation on the ground for Palestinian citizens of Israel who are faced with an escalating campaign of repression,

It would seem as if the current Irish government is so lacking in pride, belief, and commitment to the people of Ireland it cannot function without the approval of the very worst Western administrations.
They discuss everything with everyone except the electorate.

Minister O’Donovan regularly gives impression that he despises soccer.
What happened in Dundalk was a disgrace & the days of pyros at matches must be over.
However O’Donovan seems almost gleeful at administering collective punishment.
Will the same happen after a GAA or rugby melee?
Seems like a big crack down on flares in Tallaght. All the Under 18's in a separate queue to be checked.
one extremely clear thing about the BAFTA situation is that the BBC editing out 'free Palestine' and not the n-word is exactly the kind of clown-shoed institutional racism that makes people dislike the BBC
Girl (16) killed while walking dog in Navan hit-and-run named, as road death toll surges over weekend Grim day leads to growing concern, with road deaths surpassing last year Four road deaths in three separate accidents in three counties over the weekend
The online portal to submit dashcam footage of dangerous driving is delayed again.
The gov cancelled the camera enforcement pilot last year. The draft strategy to roll out camera enforcement around the country has been sitting on Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social's desk since May 2025.
Don't mind flares , once there's not too many of them and they are used responsibly(that's a big ask). Not too keen on too many smoke bombs either.
No time for certain clubs and would have similar feelings to yourself about keeping 'hostility' to the match .
The real issue is that you can't search under 18's entering a ground.
Exactly. And signalled they were going to do it too.
Don't think I've heard the League of Ireland get this much attention in years. Those fools at Drogheda really have caused a shitstorm.
That's brilliant. A whole new Political music genre.
@electionlit.bsky.social is there a better tune about a continental wide political conference out there?
