Craig has left me another voicemail, and all these texts. Apparently he and his solicitor are monitoring my tweets. So for transparency.. here they are..
Dear
@MichealMartinTD
, i am NOT a jobseeker. I am NOT on jobseekers allowance. I'm on a covid payment. I'm a night-club promoter and highly skilled freelance event worker. I'm NOT available for work because you have closed my business down, and for good reason, and I'm fine with
Of the 38 murders committed in both jurisdictions on the island of Ireland in 2021, 4 were committed by non nationals. ALL were committed by men. Keep your rubbish racist thoughts to yourself. Put your social media away, let the Gardai/Courts do their job. Dont fuck up this trial
Went in to town earlier. Immigrants everywhere. One of them drove me on the luas. Another one served my tea. 2 more of them served my lunch. 6 of them in the kitchen. 2 more served me in the shops. And another one in a taxi drove me home. Bloody immigrants, working hard.
50,000 again in the Aviva today, packed in. Queuing on top of each other on the concourses for bars and toilets, and I’m not allowed 250 in my club tonight. Hard to take.
SO, its never happened before that our amazing mother has been out in LA while we've had an event before and she got to come. Today is also her birthday. It's also
@donie
birthday. They both insisted on a pic :) Show the Ma some birthday love so i can show her twitter at its best
Hello everyone. Would really appreciate the retweets on this one. Its sad he’s been left out and behind, when you read what he did. Another hero. Vive Le France! 🇫🇷

Can I also point out, we’re not being held back here just by unvaccinated people. We’re being held back by a criminally underfunded Health service. It’s utterly shameful that only 400 people in hospital has the country held to ransom. Nothing done to correct it the last 19 months
Genuinely me and about 500 Drimnagh mammies will meet you any time, any place
@TheNotoriousMMA
, you horrific human being. Name the time and place, chicken.
Is their week in Greece ( that they’ve more than likely paid for a long time ago) really that much of affront to you that you would shame and humiliate them in this way?

And off over the Doggie Rainbow Rusty has gone. 17 years young. Such a huge part of our family. Always the best boy to give a paw and lived for those rubs. What a legend.
As a victim of a brutal assault by 4 men, I’m getting extremely annoyed and anxious around this narrative. Im sorry for what happened to them obviously, but why the focus because they are tourists? Dont we care enough about what happens to citizens that live here?
A teenage boy has been arrested in relation to the investigation into an assault in Dublin city centre on Friday night, in which three men from the UK were injured
that ( just about) I expect the state to support me no questions asked during this time, just as i support you no questions asked as i hand over hundreds of thousands of Euro over the year in Taxes. The clubs and events i run help keep hundreds of other staff across multiple
struggled with my mental health to try and keep the head above water. When you layer over that the recent decision to award pay-rises to "super junior ministers” you are simply turning the knife in the backs of people already on the verge of breaking point.
East wall, please be on alert.
Far Right are actually going to hold a "vigil" outside an emergency accommodation centre this evening.
They have no shame whatsoever.
The utter downright meanness and petty attitude of The Gardai going door to door last night before clubs opened warning u of the 2.30am closing time won't be forgotten. Knowing full well it was the first NYE party in 3 years, and the laws just about to be changed anyway. Petty.
So we’re finally here, after an unbelievable life altering saga for us all. Not gonna lie, I’m fairly emotional tonight as we get ready to finally head back to what we do best. This can’t be stated enough though.. be sound to staff please. We’re super nervous ..
#besoundtostaff
venues in gainful employment and helps keeps those venues in business. The knock on effect from what i do goes on to create tens of millions in tax revenue for the state. What i don't expect is to be humiliated in public at an airport should i have to travel in the near future
We will never forget them.

So we have a new gaff on Amsterdam now.. we came home from the bar at 1.30, walked across the road to the shop, bought a couple of bottles of beer. Guess what, the world didn’t end, the sun didn’t fall out of the sky. We need to wake up to our ridiculous licensing laws in Ireland
Hi
@VirginMediaIE
.. would you care to explain to me, how your genius engineer thinks we’re we are going to light our fire after he took this shortcut wiring our new box today?

you had one job to do.
Hats off and big love to last nights

Far right agitators, were outnumbered by Gardai at the ESB building in East Wall, that they moved around to the church for their candlelit vigil. Thats how few turned up.
I just find it totally insane that
@rte
our state broadcaster can say twice (and counting) on its Dublin Castle handover centenary programme “that marked the end of British rule in Ireland” meanwhile Irish people in the 6 counties are like…
This is what the far right in Ireland have lowered themselves to. Mock concern about protecting children dripping in racism. How intimidated must those children feel going to school with Gardai blue flashing lights and all roads approaching the school in Drimnagh closed.
There was a fight in an asylum holding holding centre last night. Its going to happen when you house people in poorly set up centres. Tell me this didn’t also happen in a village, town or city last weekend across Ireland.The reason you’re sharing it, is racism. Plain and simple.
8 years ago today since life changed for all gay people in Ireland. Or so we thought. Its hard to fathom that we are going backwards in this country in attitudes to gay people. Hardly a day goes by without getting called a peado or a groomer on here. For what? Loving my husband?
Was pointed out to me the other day of
@ebintosh
attack, it was 9 years to the day since I was gaybashed in Dublin and it brought it all back. Today in Sligo 2 men have been brutally murdered. Gaypride was and always will be a protest, not a parade. Sick to the pit of my stomach
Don’t even know where to start with this news. Its devastating. Our calls for antigen testing from 6 months ago were totally ignored. Thousands of workers out of work again. EMERGENCY PUP needs to be opened up from this Friday. Scandalous.
Happy

from your local council. Not only have
@DubCityCouncil
turned down
@st66dublin
application for street furniture, that they previously successfully had, they have now turned it in to a bike rack! No chance to appeal, and no transparency into who objected.
It’s called Public Life for a reason. If you chose it, it comes with certain terms and conditions. Don’t be seeking publicity your whole adult life and then start crying when it doesn’t suit you.
Level 5 Restrictions until June???!!!!
NOPE. Not a chance. Cant do it. Wont do it. I'm done. totally and utterly fucking done. Goalposts constantly moved. No plan. No road Map. No Incoming quarantine. Amazing how quick and easy it was to reduce the PUP and introduce
21 years ago today since we lost this wonderful soul. Our gorgeous caring, funny, bubbly beautiful friend, Uaneen Fitzsimons. The fun we have missed out on in those years.
If i thought my level of anger couldn't rise any more, i was very wrong. The Taoiseach of this country just went on live TV and said he has been working with stakeholders of our industry on this matter. That is a blatant lie. Not ONE rep org of our industry knew this was coming.
Thank you

@hazechu
@GardaTraffic
and too many councillors to mention. The City was alive and wonderful last night. It can be like this all the time! (As long as the weather behaves!)
The refund requests are always fun! This is the poster.. this is his request “"unfortunately I had to leave as it wasn’t made clear that it was a night for gay men"
Admit it, y’all are sitting at home fuming about your dull lives, and realising the gays are still having way much more fun in nightclubs than you are. 😂
The crys of “what about our kids” fall flat when the far rights Drimnagh protest blocked all access roads to the Children’s Hospital. Absolutely pointless and idiotic.
#drimnaghforall
Well this feels bloody amazing. It literally took me 30 minutes to get to the bar, stopped every minute by happy people, thanking me and wishing me well. Amazing feeling.
Not a mask in sight.. and no enforcement by
@officialgaa
. I was there last week, and it was the same. They should have next weeks game played behind closed doors. A disgrace.
Enough with all the hate and negativity. Husband is home, and were out for a lovely much needed Christmas night out. Love to you all, whatever/ however you are celebrating.
Due to a protest at the Airport Roundabout, traffic exiting

Dubliners.. we've banged the table and asked to be heard. Tonight the 6 weekend pedestrianisation trial for Capel st and Parliament st begins. Get out there.. use it, respect it, enjoy it. Show what our city can be like.

I ask this question in total honesty and not to have a go, as I don't know the answer. In the increasing pressure this country is in, to even temporarily house those seeking asylum here, how many of the 100's of church buildings and other properties they own have been opened up?
Sadly yes. After 14 years i have to close this up. Post reopening has seen the most stringent enforcement by gardai of the 1am sunday closing. With no sign of the new extended hours/ licensing bill getting passed anytime soon, were left with no choice. Cant run a club for 2 hours
SHOCKING !
This is now where we are in Ireland. A deliberate attempt to seriously injure or kill a young man with a foreign accent for absolutely no reason !
Retweet, find this driver ! !
@GardaTraffic
It’s really tiresome having people who have been working full time for the last 19 months, condescendingly covidsplaining why my nightclubs can’t open next week.
Collect themselves.. Option was there for them very reasonably to stay and cancel the return flight. Staff all agreed to get us home. It was very obvious how shook they all were, but like legends they carried out their duties so professionally. Ciara ( i think her name was)/
Toys and €2500
@lidl_ireland
food vouchers dropped off from our Pantibar toy collection to the kids in emergency accommodation at Houben House centre. Just in time for Santas visit tomorrow. The food vouchers will be used for Christmas day dinner and throughout the year.
There have been confrontations between anti-immigration protestors and gardaí after protesters marched to the International Protection Office on Mount Street in Dublin city centre | Read more:
If any Politician or people in power in The HSE have the slightest clue what shes gone through in the last year, they might think twice about their glib tributes to her here. They failed failed Shane. They failed her. Yeah I’m angry and upset. Not as angry and upset as she was.
All donations now dropped off to East Wall. Great to see the set up improved, with lots of local residents volunteering now also. Heartbreaking, but hearthwarming all at once.
