No fear at all. Sure how good could this crowd be if one of their players is my age. Screams lack of choices surely. Should be a handy win.

Has the justice minister any comment on his police force leaking personal information about a citizen for outright political purposes?

Humphreys is ok with loyalism and animal cruelty.

A man rants about the Irish Times, parodying their coverage of the presidential election by comparing it to the father ted episode about a mythical beast, and all the local rumours of its nature.

Screw the renter?
Whip the money?
Lie about it when asked?

Yes, that's correct, fianna fail. Their whole point of being, in fact, is to quietly make money and lie.

Any time i see the usual brigade next door talknig about how SPECIAL and IMPORTANT and UNIQUE women are, it sounds exactly the same to me as aristocracy.

You're a woman. So are half the people i know. This isn't special. It's just not.

Talk to me when you're interested in valuing everyone.

I'm not even sure that feminism is the right term for the irish variant. It's more about defending the marginalised and equality for all than being specific to gender. UK seems to be a "bio cis woman on the holy mumsnet altar of being super special and fuck you if you say otherwise" situation.

As far as I can tell the difference between irish and british feminism when it comes to trans rights is the phrase "pick on someone your own size" and "go find someone else to pick on, and we'll join in".

It is indeed an outstanding coincidence that a former garda turned journo seems to have sources that break the law, isnt it?

Take aside that it was wrong ethically. It was dumb politically.

She could have looked straight into a camera and told the bigots to go and fuck themselves and they *still* wouldn't have anyone else to vote for, while -incredibly - pressuring connolly from the left.

Massive shot missed.

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

i know i'm just repeating what we all already know, but the side-by-side of a football manager candidate forefeiting his campaign while his 68-year-old opponent demonstrates preternatural keepy-uppy skills and wins unanimous praise for it is historically funny

There is a real story here Niall if you'd care to write about it, someone is leaking Garda vetting information for political gain. Breaching confidentiality and GDPR requirements. Every underage coach, every volunteers data is not secure. Confidence in vetting undermined. That's the story. #Aras25

Assigning parental duties to one gender and not the other is awful, but the language changing instead of being dropped would have been enough for plenty of people i know.

This is it. It's like the Seanad reform. If (when) the gov do a shite job of the wording for a proposed replacement, the left are happy enough to vote it down until it's done properly.

Absolutely horrific, but it's about time these people were challenged about their support of faces being eaten while standing next to actual leopards.

Fairly certain the first thing that qualifies someone to deserve "a go" is having their shit together enough to get on the ballot.
