Proud Paddystinian. 🇮🇪 🇵🇸
It's not really an Irish thing because it's not native to the island. It only grows in a dozen or so places.

Not Bush, he just signed it into law. The United States Senate and House of Representatives passed the "Hague Invasion Act" with support from both parties.

This was on Monday night. He left Ireland yesterday.

What good was military preparedness when airports were closed by drones in Denmark and Belgium? What good was military preparedness when undersea cables were cut in the Baltic Sea?

Bits of him. In Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin.

I support more funding for the Irish Defence Forces. Better pay and conditions to begin with. Then investment in necessary equipment - especially that needed for UN peacekeeping missions.

But don't prevent some things. So, being NATO members hasn't stopped the attacks. Ireland joining would only invite attacks.

The highest number of first preference votes in any election. The highest percentage of first preference votes in any presidential election. People approved of Uachtarán Connolly like they've never approved of any candidate in the state's history.

Has every country in the region being members of NATO prevented sabotage in the Baltic Sea? No. Prevented drones disrupting airports as far away as Belgium? No. So, it has nothing to do with it. Membership wouldn't help us but would certainly make us more of a target.

But it doesn't. They're not neutral. We are. That's that. That's how it's been since independence. Independence we fought for. From the island to our East which still occupies part of our country. That island being a NATO member which loves fighting wars.

Military neutrality. Not political or humanitarian neutrality.

We don't provide or fund any offensive weaponry.

She was by far the most popular candidate. She would have won whether or not Gavin withdrew. The spoilt votes don't count, do they?

The majority of the population is anti-Nato, pro-neutrality. What has that got to do with supporting Ukraine? Absolutely nothing.

Feckin' eejit. Anti-Israel is not antisemitism.

The pale breadcrumbs, no spices or anything of the sort.

It usually goes something along these lines.
Me - "Chicken fillet roll, please."
Deli staff - "Plain, spicy or southern fried?"
Me - "Southern fried, please."

He doesn't like the Irish getting too uppity...

That’s not my experience of the EU, of EU citizens, of MEPs, of EU countries or of the EU commission.

It’s only my experience of a small subset of Brexilers on here. Often accounts that seem to be connected to Ireland in some way.

The first British military governor of Palestine, Ronald Storrs, wrote that the purpose of the 1917 Balfour Decleration was to create a “loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism.”

That's only some of the sovereign states invaded, bombed, "couped" by the USA, not forgetting all the First Nations attacked, ethnically cleansed and genocided.
