Both FG and FF had planned to run candidates supporting their moves to integrate Ireland into EU defence arrangements: Gavin and McGuinness.

One or other would win.

They would then claim to have a popular mandate.

That looks set to backfire spectacularly.

The WM Establishment, that knowingly allowed innocent Post Office employees to be sent to jail, are now compounding their criminality, by slashing their compensation claims. Shame on all Establishment MP's.

In Oct 2020, socially distanced & in the Oireachtas’s temporary pandemic home, TDs voted to seal the records of survivors of state and church abuse for 30 years. Heather Humphries voted with the Government. Catherine Connolly voted against.

A majority of MSPs supporting independence would be enough for any nation within a properly democratic UK to decide its own future, and that's been the case since 2011 in Scotland, but a majority of SNP MSPs makes our Referendum undeniable.

The SNP @snp.org · 8d

Scotland’s future is our choice - not Westminster’s.

We can keep being held back by Westminster, or take the chance to build a fairer, stronger nation that works for everyone in Scotland. #SNP25

A campaign to spoil presidential election votes?
So clearly these people have acres of time and money to campaign on important issues,like housing,health & education.
Oh.
Right.
None of those things.
Just a reactionary whinge cause their pet multi-K handbag toting evil elect didn't make the cut.

Agreed.

It's by no means a given, but the way the left has united behind Catherine Connolly has the potential to be far more impactful for future *parliamentary* politics than just the presidency.

Which may be why the status quo parties are crapping themselves.

The Galway TD says she is heartened by the support of left aligned parties, as well as independents and others.
