Leo Varadkar said last week Ireland is a wealthy Country. I come from a family of what would be considered middle class, all 3rd level educated and all working all our lives. This i the first year in my 55 years that we have decided not to swap gifts, we can't afford it
So we had Leo

stand up in the Dail today and claim the guy that killed

had worked and paid taxes in Ireland for 10 years, yet we know that is 100% untrue and everyone just let's it slide. What is wrong with us ? What am I missing here please tell me ?
It won't be today or tomorrow or probably for 10 years but when all this unwinds the Burke family will get a settlement in the millions for what went on today. I am no fan of the Burkes but a Guard flinging a member of the court to the street in plain view is wrong

@ray_cun
I most certainly have Ray and while I don't know who I will be supporting I will be campaigning to get every green representative out of office, primarily Eamon Ryan who is in the constituency beside me. I hope to have 25 volunteers out every night canvassing to get You out
This isn't getting anything like the traction it should be getting. A Lithuanian man blows himself up while building pipe bombs in inner City Dublin. And we are there with our mouths open being gaslighted by the Gov. How long would a paddy making pipe bombs in Lithuania last ?
@lukeming
I dont know if you ever went to london working Luke but I did and let me tell you it was no cakewalk. We slept in Finsbury Park for a week and were on the verge of returning home when the ball bounced. There was no welcoming committee I assure, its easily romanticised by your lot
50 years I am coming to

but never ever have I seen a

Just to confirm

never worked for 1 day in Ireland. He worked as a teen in Slovakia, then as a labourer in the Chech Republic where he claimed he Hurt his back, then moved to Ireland. He never worked in Ireland and Ryan Casey was right when he claimed that he never worked
Last I cried at a match was in the old Hogan stand in 1999 when the Cork young guns beat Kilkenny ending a 9 year drought, but I am not afraid to say I bawled my eyes out tonight. This

could be the beginning of the end for wokeness overload finally. My faith in the people could be restored
@DaraghCassidy
Let this be the line in the sand. Let this victim impact statement say this is how we actually feel in this Country and any vote will prove it. Let me finally say any party with any cop on will seize this moment and say this was our Veronica Guerin moment of the 21st century
@ZaraKing
@VirginMediaNews
So much for the not sharing. Its everywhere, but it needs to be or the Gardai wouldn't do anything. That's the saddest thing imo, no one has anywhere to turn now
@tonymullins84
one night Casey told us they were getting the horses ready for the final gallop before Punchestown festival, was part of the prep process. Willie looked at the first lot being saddled and cancelled the work saying "they are ready" that's the year he broke the record. Thats genius
@douwanttea
@griptmedia
@RTENewsAtOne
How right he is. People go on about the silent majority but I'll say it straight out he represented my views on the matter perfectly
@ray_cun
No insult taken. I am just a political animal involved in politics for 35 years. I actually supported Catherine Martin in 2019. Know Eamon Ryan a long time and know how much of a danger he is. We voted him out in 2011 and thought he was gone, an unforgivable mistake by me
As it turns out Kiely was wrong. Collins waited for the whistle. This is my first time watching it back in full on

I consider us lucky Sinn Fein showed their true hand before we turned to them in desperation. The whole Country is ripe for common sense candidate's. Anyone with a profile is electable anywhere now. I'd recommend running locally to generate a profile then go for the GE next year

#gaago
was set up for the diaspora to watch games streamed from all over the world. Asking a taxpayer in Ireland who already pays for RTE to stump up is a disgrace. Now let's dig into the directors pay and benefits and see what fall out of the tree
RTE’s Dee Forbes & Declan McBennett are Directors of GAAgo. A public service broadcaster whose primary duty is to the public, is at the same time maximising profit by putting big games behind their paywall. It is a very serious conflict of interest.
It's not a following that

@TheMandyGall
There it is in a nutshell. The local community always knows best. The Asylum seekers don't want to be in the middle of nowhere. But they were sold a pup by Roddy who to this day still can't see the wrong in what he did. He promised refugees/asylum seekers a dream doesn't exist
I was in Thurles this weekend in 1998 when the greatest ever u21 side won the all ireland v Galway. The same side virtually won the senior all ireland the next year. But today what I saw chilled my bones it was like a cat playing with a mouse

Expelling this guy isn't enough. This guy needs 5 years on his hands and knees in the joy and if the Provost had any guts at all that's what he will get
Very little love for the Irish man who actually disarmed the guy on Thursday and had the foresight to preserve the weapon. Jeez we really have lost our way in this Country with wokeness. Not 1 MSM have mentioned this. Not one almost 3 days later. Not a one

Wicklow man Warren Donohoe has emerged as the hero who first pulled the knife attacker from a child outside Coláiste Mhuire on Thursday. French teenager Alan Loren-Guille has also been hailed as a hero for his part in disarming the attacker.

Anyone drinking tap water in Ireland is off their rocker. We in south county Dublin apparently have the cleanest water in the Country and it stinks. No sane person would drink it from a tap
@DuignanMichael
Wouldn't it be worse if people didn't care. Offaly have a proud footballing tradition. My first All Ireland saw them stop the kerry 4 in a row team. Ridiculing fans on Twitter isn't very nice. Suck it up and get on with correcting the deficiencies

And of course the funny thing its not the cyclists using these cycle lanes its the motorcycles and powered bikes and escooters. Those are the most dangerous modes of transport in Dublin at the moment and none of them obey rules of the road

Thank you for saying this. I had thought the same but had been afraid of being cancelled and vilified for saying it. Some of my best mates are gay and some of the nicest people one could ever meet and they would share your sentiments to the letter

This toothpaste doesn't go back in. The bookies have abused the process anyway they can. I've been punting all my life, stood on course for a few years and at this stage even I am wishing the industry away. Tired of being made feel like a crook everytime I walk into a shop
@Sineadmcgar
Agreed, he has never been at the races on a social affordability level. It's beneath him. Always amazes me he gets reelected in Dublin West tbh
@TheMandyGall
People power. But that wouldn't stop them alone. It's the upcini elections that is putting a stop to it. Same with mass immigration. If it wasn't an election year they would have ploughed on regardless and that's the real reason

Imo they are getting their excuses in early as they know its going to be a blowout. Its a waste of money and effort anyway but it also gives a much needed chance for the electorate to show them what we think of them. It will be close to a 70% no vote on both

@MrJackieTee
Exactly and trust me not one of us in Cork is complaining. When Cork get back on Top we will keep our foot on the others throats as long as possible and none of the others will complain either. That's why it's the munster championship. It's sore but that's senior hurling
@newryhurler1
I guess people always thought they were the anti-estsblishment party (I know I did that's why I supported them at last election) and now they feel betrayed after finding out they are the same as the rest of them

in fact they are worse imo as they won't own that fact

@NateSilver538
One point I've noted about the Dems. Politically they are beyond naive. The GOP are running rings around them. Obama left them either complacent or in tatters or worse both.
@MichealLehane
Ask anyone that went to Church today what they took out of it and its vastly different. Either way words matter and I for one am sick of his smart comments. He is meant to represent the people not himself

I was voting no anyway but his article today is a great explanation and articulates what I could not. Great to be on the same side as him.
@declanganley
Imagine an intelligent educated wealthy man such as yourself to make a comment like that. Willie O Dea can't lie straight in hid bed, he roared it in last year as he did the double yes vote. Now he has seen the way the wind is blowing he is electioneering. Everyone knows that
@john_mcguirk
I used to have the radio on non stop. It's unlistenable to now. With the exception of an odd Pat Kenny piece it's almost a violation, ads aside the content is pure Gaslighting. Brenda O Connor who I went to College with is a typical example. Any reasonable debate is gone now
@MaryKenny4
I didn't notice Google or Facebook or any of the banks being hauled over the coals for buying property for their executives in Dublin City Centre. In fact it was that action that started the rent increase gold rush. That never gets mentioned
