This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

Ireland and the EU should be actively shouting about US breaches of international law right now - failure to do so contributes to normalisation of a new era of colonial gangsterism.

Hands off Venezuela!
This is a blatant imperialist attack for oil and power in Latin America.
Will the Irish government condemn this flagrant violation of Venezuelan sovereignty?

The state of Israel was in ‘constant contact’ with a Fine Gael councillor to help him defeat a county council motion calling for an Irish government boycott of Israeli military equipment.

The by-election here in Dublin Central will likely be a interesting contest for many reasons but one to watch will be FF's candidate selection. Very much could be a battle between pro-Martin faction (likely Mary Fitzpatrick) and the anti-Martin faction (likely Councillor John Stephens). #SpéirGhorm

Opposing genocide is the moral duty of our time.
Yet Palestine Action activists have been held in prison for over a year without trial. Six are now on hunger strike.
Detaining peaceful protesters under counter-terror powers is indefensible. This is political imprisonment in all but name.
