I'd have not consented to having sex with a few ppl had I known what a prick they were behind lies and deception.

If I or any other woman took this to the cops we would be laughed at and called a slag for not being careful who we open our legs to.

Ciara Watkin is in prison for being transgender.

"Is this the road we're going down now, to go lockstep with many other European countries in terms of brutalised repression against protesters?"

Horrifically violent footage from Saturday. And still no statement from Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan, nearly a week on.

Powerful people hate being answerable to anyone. We know the need for that accountability, as a nation, from our history. That is why judicial review is written into our Constitution. That is why it matters so much.
They hate it.

There's money in #DerelictIreland
Almost 2 million for 4 homes left abandoned for years
Let's hope they are back in use soon

Dublin is plagued by derelict and vacant sites; here are some examples in and around Phibsborough, Dublin 7, as shown in my graphic.

Another record 16,353 people, including more than 5,100 children, are now accessing emergency homeless accommodation in Ireland.

Putting you down in any way at all. "Joke", a snigger, anything. Also not communicating and listening to your needs. Never asking about you. Loads tbh
