Ireland 🇮🇪

Data centres have been driving up the price of electricity in Ireland and added €1.4 billion to overall household electricity bills through rising and constant demand on the grid. The public are paying the price for big tech greed.

The day following Bloody Sunday, Bernadette Devlin slapped Tory Home Secretary Reginald Maudling across the face on the floor of the Commons. Asked if she intended to apologise, Devlin said: “I’m just sorry I didn’t get him by the throat.” Be a Devlin, don’t be a Badenoch.

@castleDD Actually it's not free for all disabled people in the south. You have to be on specific benefits

@Chilly_Willy66 Because 6 out of 32 counties are still occupied.

@BTriagain Interesting to look at the bios of those involved in progress Ireland. A few postgraduate students. A certain university chancellor who supports the end of our neutrality is a non- executive member

@Keyes @ProgressIreland I reckon I could get 2 sets of bunk beds in mine. There's an old barbeque in it already and I believe a mouldy garden sofa. There's an outdoor tap beside it and a sprinkler hose. Could probably afford a compostable loo for outside. 1k a week 💰

@thebedfordfox In Manx, it's gura mie ayd. Go raibh has become one word gura. Possibly due to the fact that Manx spelling is based on Elizabethan English

@GreensladeR Can't understand why there's no protest at the castle in Lismore. In fact, just this week, the local tourist board were promoting visiting it!

Some inside Iran don't see or believe the level of global support they have for their war against the Epstein Axis. Retweet if you stand with Iran & the Resistance 💛

This college dropout never had a real job in his life. He's now the Minister for Finance. He failed spectacularly in all of his previous Ministerial roles & left a trail of ruination in his wake. Harris was handpicked to be a politician, RTÉ made sure of that

Handpicked Harris👇

Shout it from the rooftops!!!

AI is damaging students permanently - their ability to think, be creative, question, rationalise etc.

Why think themselves when AI can just give them the answer?

Education is in trouble the world over.

We need to force #FrauGenocide +German childkilling supporter #Merz @Bundeskanzler to walk among the bodies of slaughtered babies and children of Gaza.
They are complicit.

Jeffrey Sachs spoke to an audience in Dublin today.

As the Govnt fails to call out the brutal, illegal wars of the US+Israel, he reminded us of JFK's speech to the Dáil in 1963.

'From Cork to Congo, Galway to the Gaza strip', Ireland must be the voice of the weak at the UN.

@eoinyk @TipperaryCoCo For wheelchair users, this is potentially lethal

Every Irish person needs to be properly informed about what removal of the Triple lock means- whether you are for or against it. Please listen to Senator Clonan. He’s a security analyst and former Irish Army Captain.

@paulmurphy68 In the 80s, I took the bus home from school along the Springfield road. V close to springmartin. We had to duck every day as the bus was stoned turning into the west circular. Why? Because we were in our Catholic girl school uniform. Bricks through the window every day
