The grand total of €275 euro was raised.
In the first few days of a similar campaign for Ukraine over €700 was raised - eventually it was thousands.

And this time Cottonhound got appalling abuse.

I'm fucking disgusted at the response tbh.

THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO DID BUY A WEE BANDANA!

"Free Palestine" dog bandanas still available.
Details of where to get them here.

(no - I'm not affiliated with the printers bar being a long standing customer of this small ethical Irish business).

This is Filo.
Once upon a time she was starving, bleeding, malnourished, and hiding in fear under an industrial wheelie bin.

Filo says #FREEPALESTINE

personalised bandannas available from Cottonhound on SpecialGifts.ie proceeds to the Irish Red Cross fund for Palestine.

I heard she eats all the chocolates and only leaves the coffee ones.

When she was Leas-Cheann Comhairle Catherine Connolly used to lock the doors of the Dáil chamber so govt TDs couldn't get in to participate in debates.

AND she insisted the World Cup women's squad only had one dedicated out half.

All rags and no rings. We know that type.

Catherine Connolly checks public computers in libraries and when she finds one where people forgot to log out she sends unsolicited chick pics to all their contacts.

Catherine Connolly neglected to become an accidental landlord and didn't party even once during the Celtic Tiger.

Catherine Connolly stepped out when she should have stepped in again. Completely ruining Lanigan's Ball.

Thatcherism has infected our politics, Murdochism is rife in our media.
They really should take a long hard look at themselves, then look at the zeitgeist of Irish society. Maybe the smart ones will see their 1980s/90s British ideologies have no place here.

I saw Catherine Connolly open a bag of peanuts in the pub and didn't offer any to anybody else!

Fella who presided over Budget that screwed anyone on less than a TDs wage, and gave pensioners, disabled, carers a special financial kicking intends to vote Fine Gael.

How is that even news?
He's pure Fine Gael.

Wow, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael really do not want to lose to a coalition of centre-left and left parties rallying behind an independent, do they?

Taoiseach says he'll vote for Humphreys and remains coy about whether he's voted Fine Gael before

Martin denied that the presidential election was a referendum on the government.

Given the budget he just presided over that could well be the kiss of death.

I'm waiting until she kicks a penalty from the touchline 50 mtrs out AND collects the kick off in her own 22, beats 5, dummy passes, pop kicks ahead, gathers in and scores under the sticks.
I hear that's next week's video.

Denise Murray/Donnacha Ní Mhuireadhaigh @mousketeer.bsky.social · 20h

Is there not a 'young person' working on that right now?

Denise Murray/Donnacha Ní Mhuireadhaigh @mousketeer.bsky.social · 22h

She strikes me as the kind of person who would do an emergency handbrake stop, invite the fox to hop in, before popping a U turn and taking off down the boreen.

Following criticism from Dog Rescues Heather stated "I love dogs". "They're fantastic at getting into fox dens and flushing them out for the hounds"
