Fianna Fáil - the party in the advert - have utterly failed to act on the Climate Emergency and are now risking €8bn in annual fines for taxpayers until we're compliant with our GHG emission cuts

The degree to which right-wing commentators and politicians in this country backed Conor McGregor to the hilt should not be forgotten. They are who they showed us they are.

It's perfectly simple, we're expected to believe that the Simon who got all tetchy & walked away cause someone was challenging his record is not the real Simon.

A few FG candidates on to me since last night with real concern about Kanturk moment.
They feel it looks very bad for them and they expect it to be something they have to deal with for days to come.
Disability issues and school access have repeatedly come up and have underfeatured in media

Taoiseach Simon Harris speaks with a woman who says she is a carer. His coldness, condescension and lack of empathy for someone who is clearly genuine, upset and exasperated and says more than I can.
