As a resident of the area you should see the excuses the council have given us and laid all responsibility on the community to come forward to council to retain and forward the area as a heritage site coincidentally there are at least 3 wind farm applications for the area 🤔

Out of pure & utter habit the other place was my 1st choice for #GE24 news and updates but 1 tweet about my family’s experience with lack of life saving medical intervention and catholic ethos on hospitals revealed the monster the other place has become

People wonder why #Hutch did so well in #DublinCentral just have a look at the socioeconomics and lack of engagement from other parties with the community.
Throwing bonuses & increases in social welfare don’t win votes. Community engagement, education Investment in services and infrastructure do

I’ve no sympathy for the greens at all. Implementing and advocating for taxation through the climate crisis is not a proactive approach.
The industry it hits the most is the industry that affects everyone in a cost of living crisis and that’s farming.

People will complain and some who will did vote but apathy is setting in as to what is the point of trying to vote for change when the old guard will cling to power anyway they can. It seems the older generation voted FG/FF because the main issues don’t affect them

Bríd Breathnach @bridbreathnach.bsky.social · Nov 29

I think A and the fact when they did try and vote for change FF FG banded together to prevent that from happening so why bother voting when FF &FG will do anything to prevent change and cling to power 🤷🏻‍♀️

Here’s hoping 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 but I can’t see SD joining FF/FG they would lose too many supporters the next time round the way Lab/Greens/PDs have done in the past

I’d say they’d just make enough to cobble together a gov

I could be wrong but I think that Mayo count is the reason why I can’t remember exactly the number but there were a number of votes spoilt that way and the candidate lost out on the last seat by 1 vote

FF-FG-Lab-Green is my prediction

Bríd Breathnach @bridbreathnach.bsky.social · Nov 29

Same in Mayo and what made the votes invalid for the candidate who lost out on a seat was the ballot sheet was invalid as it wasn’t stamped at the polling station

Did you see the people interviewed on RTE for the #exitpoll ? Majority older people who aren’t (it seems) affected by the housing/healthcare/childcare crisis that voted for the gov parties

People who can’t access housing aren’t reasonable?
People who can’t access adequate healthcare aren’t reasonable?
People who can’t access childcare aren’t reasonable?
People who can’t access acceptable special ed services aren’t reasonable?

Wonder did it come up in a geography lesson? Mine this week was on a local news reporter and conversations started about what they hear on the radio and tv and election came up! Ended up doing a class election today posters and all (count starts Monday @ 9:20 😂)

Infuriating to see those interviewed on RTE voting for Gov parties as it seems the issues of housing health education don’t affect them
