Wee Littler's Clann Éireann's vigilante group are soo proud to be part of his nazi group, that they hide their identities. I wonder why that is 🤔

It was stated that no masks were allowed at the bigotfest today. But I guess nazis are exempt from that.

All men are equal yet some are more equal..

David Draiman, lead singer of Disturbed, is scheduled to play Dublin’s 3Arena on Oct 22.
He has publicly supported the IOF and was photographed signing missiles used in attacks on Gaza.
This is not who Ireland is. #CancelDisturbedDublin

Deluded and bewildered bigots infesting Cork City today. Including Wee Littler, who was surrounded by his masked Clann Éireann vigilante group members. Anyone that attended that fashfest today, with known nazis there - is a bigot. It's that simple.

Heather Humphreys won’t say if she paid an anti-vacancy tax on her unused residential property.

Humphreys has left the property unoccupied for the last 14 years, during which time the vacant homes tax was introduced.

Three green froggies and a skeleton frog! These are inflatable costumes and some of the frogs have little capes. They’re protesting on the other side of the street from ICE.

Fine Gael’s Heather Humphreys has avoided a property tax on her old constituency office after failing to declare she’s no longer entitled to an exemption.

For failing to make this declaration Humphreys could face criminal prosecution.

Well this is just jawdropping - have a listen, the smear campaign by FG on Catherine Connolly is really their only tactic. Also has anyone (other than a niece/nephew) ever called Heather Humphreys ‘Auntie Heather’? #speirgorm #aras25

Why are certain "journalists" (yes, I'm looking at you, Irish Times) uncritically reporting Maria Steen's repeated assertions that independent candidates have been "blocked" from the presidential ballot.

The current frontrunner is an independent candidate.
