The Taoiseach just essentially said the Occupied Territories Bill isn't a priority.
Sounds like it's just not going to happen based on his interview on RTE Radio today.
Says the gov is pivoting to the "peace" plan for Gaza.

This video was also posted on Facebook and the vast majority of the replies are genuinely disturbing. A lot of them are along the lines of, "Sounds great, when are we getting this going?".

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Trump has deployed ICE on militarized invasions of blue cities for months. They’re only getting more violent.
Now, ten days after ICE murdered a woman on video, Democratic elites are very concerned that anyone might say, “Abolish ICE.”

The security justification falls apart once you remember the US is already obligated to defend Greenland because it's part of NATO.
Tells you more about what the Trump administration thinks of its obligations under article 5 than anything else.

Remigration is the name given to a white nationalist plan to ethnically cleanse Western countries of non-white people.
It's been referred to in numerous official US government statements, including some made by Donald Trump.

Leavitt: Why was she killed?
Reporter: Because an ICE agent acted recklessly and killed her unjustifiably

Once again, Niamh Smyth absolutely leading in not shirking the responsibilities of her portfolio.
Rare I offer praise for any Minister but when her colleagues have equivocated on what's happened and what needs to happen, she has very strongly called it straight so far and hasn't bent to pressure.
