Listening to RTE’s Paul Cunningham, Morning Ireland interview & reading RTE News website report on Israeli air strikes, easy to believe Israel gratuitously bombing Gaza & Lebanon. It is a perception RTE is cultivating. Why no mention of Israel under continuous Gaza rocket attack?

Fawlty Towers & Father Ted 2 of my alltime favourite sitcoms.Neither ever politically correct.UKTV withdrawing an episode of Fawlty totally idiotic. Blindingly obvious it didn't promote or condone but caricatured racism. In an era of stifling political correctness comedy crucial.

Inheritance tax wrongly targets & steals from a deceased assets lawfully accumulated out of taxed income during their lifetime. It is a resentment tax. It inhibits providing future security for children & grandchildren & forces the sale of family homes young families cld live in

To look at inheritance tax as something to be avoided, to be gotten around, is fundamentally wrong. Inheritance tax helps to fund essential public services so that no one goes without. This is about redistribution of wealth in our society. It's about fairness and equity.

International law requires that International Committee of the Red Cross have access to the 240 hostages illegally held by Hamas in Gaza pending their release. Proof of life, their health & treatment, incl Emily Hand, shld be verified.Entirely ignored by Irish Hamas supporters.

Possibility that Emily Hand is still alive is unexpected positive news amidst the terrible tragedy,death & destruction resulting from Hamas’s barbaric savagery.Emily & all hostages should be released by Hamas.Their continued detention & denial of Red Cross access is a war crime

Mary Lou democratically and mathematically challenged. 24.5% of vote confers no democratic mandate to govern. That requires at least 50.01% and 80 elected TDs. Mary Lou's perception of SF self proclaimed mandate is that over 75% of first preference votes cast shld be ignored.
