They’re putting up stickers like this in my area

#IrelandForAll

GAA exceptionalism has definitely been due a peg-lowering.

The phrase "centrist rugby Dad" speaks to a fantasy where GAA is this benignly egalitarian, progressive and welcoming space. This is not everyone's experience but good luck to them if they say so.

Imagine being given a guest column in the most widely circulated broadsheet in Ireland and spending the first two paragraphs relitigating the specific wording of an Instagram comment.

Really not looking forward to facing a Reform-led Westminster with these lemmings in charge.

Yeah to be fair Brit celebs are definitely more interesting than watching a bunch of former Housewives and other assorted reality TV alumni having the same fights they had in the previous shows.

I generally find the game less fun if everyone involved has media training or experience of being on camera, the rough edges of normal punters is what makes the show unpredictable and interesting.

You're right and relations between the public and the political class at large is pretty awful at the moment

Very true, likes and shares aren't votes

The Gavin thing was catastrophic because so many people in Ireland have their own story about trying to get money off their old landlord. How many younger people these days even know what a Provo is?

Aside from anything else I think this election will show us how badly legacy media's influence has deteriorated. The IT, Indo and now Newstalk are throwing everything at Connolly but nothing has gotten the same traction as a short-form video of her playing ball with some kids. #SpeirGorm #áras25

I write full time largely because of one thread about getting high with the Irish president. As cringe as it is to admit, my entire life has been massively enhanced by Twitter and ketamine over precisely the same time that those two things have proven less beneficial for Elon Musk.

Lmao, of course the Collison brothers have a podcast called Cheeky Pint where they bring on MAGA billionaires to gush over gutting worker's rights. #SpeirGorm

Got the curtains ironed

Not going to share 'grift' but Heather Humphreys has just said that I'm a man and the gender recognition act should be changed. Please do not vote for or give a preference for her. Having someone as president who thinks this way would be absolutely awful for minorities #SpeirGorm

Where did this story come from? Where else could it have come from except the Gardaí?
Is an arm of the state trying to interfere in our democracy?

People should keep asking Heather Humphries has she never had to sign her staff in on a daily basis? Everyone in the Dáil knows this is how it works.

Used to be that we had a Five Point Plan to make Ireland the Best Small Country in the World in Which to do Business but now we just have "pro-investment budgets" the world is losing its colour 😢 #SpeirGorm

I saw the Jim Gavin news right above a vid of Catherine Connolly laughing and playing basketball with some kids and that sort of sums up the whole campaign to date. #aras25

The second flotilla continues to sail. No matter what we hear about prison conditions for the first wave of participants, our solidarity with Palestine is unconditional. We’re on track to reach Gaza in just a few days www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

Excluding Undecided Voters:

Connolly: 45.7%
Humphreys: 32.9%
Gavin: 21.4%

Oh so he did lol, what a mess

They're supposed to pursue a law-abiding and productive life which by all accounts is what Ní Shionnáin has been doing.

Her conviction was 11 years ago and the court that sentenced her is widely considered problematic. I don't think it was a mistake for Connolly to make a case for her.

This is so funny man, he's half a dozen PR consultants in a skinsuit and they're all fighting over the controls.

"We make mistakes every day"

That's from someone being paid to speak for his campaign, someone presumably proofed it beforehand and thought it read fine. Jesus wept. #aras25 #speirgorm

It's sounding like you're correct in this, what a horrible tragedy

I want to know who's paying for all these bot accounts on tiktok generating racist hate?
