Only a third of babies are getting their 9-11 month check in Dublin mid west. It's been going on for years with no end in sight. "Parents are on their own".

“Intimidation & violence targeting international protection applicants, LGBTQI+ people, disabled people, Travellers, Roma & other.. groups have become an alarming feature of public life. These are not isolated incidents. They are connected, escalating & deeply harmful to the fabric of our democracy”
“These arrests are a stark reminder that hate can take root and grow when it goes unchallenged”. Read 👉 buff.ly/bt7Y0iK #GCNnews

These are the "voters" Martin, O'Callaghan, Harris and the rest of them are pivoting to racism to please.
If ever two groups needed reminding that Twitter and Facebook are not real life, it's journalists and politicians.

Many people think that double-yellow lines prohibit parking, but in Irish towns and cities their function is to help you line up your car when parking on the pavement.

Not to mention that FF brought in the Industrial Relations Act in 1990, which limited the definition of a trade dispute to exclude "political" actions, such as the action taken by the Dunnes workers.

I had a popular account with a valuable audience and my Twitter payout was $80 a month-ish, to the point where I disabled monetization instead of uploading my ID. Payouts are only material if you live in a developing country, so “guy in Nigeria posting right-wing Amerislop” has taken over the site.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

I spoke with Pat Kenny about the Kremlin wish list wrapped in a Trump ultimatum

Ukraine loses land, security, sovereignty
Russia is rewarded and indemnified
Europe is cut out of its own security architecture
And Trump seeks to profit from it all

When Dunnes staff refused to handle S African goods they were denounced by politicians from FF/FG, as well as "business leaders". The same groups blocking the OTB today. They were spat on, beaten by Gardaí and followed by Special Branch. It took 3 years to shame the govt. into acting. Reluctantly.

This is absolutely depraved!

No citizenship if you receive social benefit is disgusting, but also if you have debt?!

Have a credit card? Need a loan for a car? Lucky enough to qualify for a mortgage?
No citizenship for you

What if this was the same for Irish abroad?
