Today is first day of Ireland’s EU Presidency

Its going to cost the Irish taxpayer over €300m.

Thats 3x the amount Cyprus just spent, €95m
and 4x what Denmark spent, €80m.

Most of the money is going to:

Gardaí & security €125m
Dept of Foreign Affairs €65m
OPW will get €51m.

But what are they spending it on???

This E-Tender shows €131,000 will be spent on woollen scarf mementos for the 4,500 EU delegates.

6 months of waste & pageantry lie ahead.

@Nishmantruther @DecreviD2BC Us Irish voted in everything God hates we now have the government we deserve, so many backs turned away from Him, they don't know Him or want to know Him 😢

[Thaïs d’Escufon @ThaisEscufon]

Europeans and American patriots!

Tomorrow, the courts of my country, France, may decide to send me to prison for daring to say on television that “the main danger to women in France is Black African and Arab immigrant men.”

Meanwhile, my own attacker, a Tunisian migrant, is still at large.

I need your help to generate media pressure and hope to be acquitted.

They cannot silence the truth!

Thank you for your support 💪🏻🇫🇷

This is absolutely an unbelievable exchange...our politicians think they are above us all...the sheer snobbery and condescending tone talking to one of the very few good journalists in Ireland

[The Flare @TheFlareNews]

IRELAND:

The Dáil has passed a Sinn Féin-led Bill to remove the three day wait rule on abortion.

Despite Sinn Féin being an opposition party, the bill was supported by leaders of both government parties.

According to international research, the three day wait law likely prevented thousands of abortions since 2018. The Irish birth rate is currently declining.

[Una McGurk @Una_McGurk]

Ireland's fate was sealed on the 26th June 2024 when our Politicians voted to opt into the EU Asylum and Migration Pact. There is now no magic wand to reverse this betrayal of the Irish people by their Public Representatives. There is no Protocol 21 opt out. Any Bill presented to the Oireachtas to withdraw is meaningless, as European law takes precedence over domestic legislation. The only way now is to leave the EU.
Any Opposition Politician who tells you otherwise, is just giving false hope. Playing on the anxiety and desperation of many Irish people who are fearful about the future of our ancient land. This false hope is just another form of betrayal. As a consequence we are now in serious danger of moving into an era where (almost) no Politician will be trusted by the People.

It is time now to consider a rejection of the current political system and to bring forward new proposals for Direct Democracy and People Power. This current political system no longer serves the interests of the Irish people.

It is not only the Establishment that must be held to account but also each and every Opposition Politician. We can start Direct Democracy by the establishment of local community networks to take back power by holding all Public Representatives to account. Currently, we are all being played by Politicians. Power belongs in the hands of the People. There is a serious imbalance which must be restored.

As we see through the empty theatrics of these political actors,we must demand ACTION. Start by putting pressure on local Councillors and TDs to apply for a full exemption under Article 62 of the EU Migration Pact AMMR (relocation quotas). Ireland is already under significant migratory pressure. Poland's Government applied for and got an exemption, but the Irish Government has so far failed to do so. The time for action is now. The power is in your hands.

[Una McGurk @Una_McGurk]

The Post below and all others from Lawyers for Justice are 100% correct. It is of great concern and indeed disturbing to observe a number of people who have now jumped on the bandwagon to further mislead and gaslight the Irish People into believing that there is still a chance some new Dail vote will remove the effect of the EU Asylum and Migration Pact. It is too late.Where were these people 2 years ago, when I, Lawyers for Justice and others campaigned VIGOROUSLY to get the Dail to vote against the Protocol 21 opt-in, when there was still TIME before the vote on June 26th 2024.We even endeavoured to have the matter dealt with in the High Court.The only remedy now ( with this current administration) is to seek an exemption from relocation quotas under Article 62 of Regulation (EU) 2024/351 (AMMR) before July 1st on the grounds of significant migratory pressure.Poland has already done thid and was granted an exemption.The reason our Government aka Administration have not done so is very clear as they do not serve the interests of the Irish people, as I have stated publicly many many https://t.co/Xpd3zrXM10 for those out there who genuinely want to help please lobby/campaign for the Irish Government to apply for an Article 62 exemption as stated above.We acknowledge the situation is dire, but campaigning for the wrong remedy is nothing more than a convenient distraction and serves only those who seek the destruction of our beloved country. There are many more benecial campaigns which can be undertaken to restore our Country and our Sovereignty ( e.g.The proposed removal of our Triple Lock ) even if we have suffered a major set back with the Migration https://t.co/QBdSSC4dYR false hope should not be one of them.

@TNTJohn1717 The charts are great only they are large and text is small could they be done in an A4 size and split into a series, I plan to get them along with some I've done myself printed into a photobook, many thanks for all the work you do

[gript @griptmedia]

Lawless said that the Dáil should be allowed to vote on EU Migration Pact before it comes into effect, saying it was passed by a tiny margin, and that the mandate has changed since 2024

China has a population of roughly 1.4 billion people.

Ireland has a population of just over 5 million.

Yet Ireland has one of the highest concentrations of data centres on Earth.

Now let that sink in..

China is over 250 times larger than Ireland by population. It is the world's manufacturing powerhouse, a technological giant, and one of the most industrialised nations on the planet.

Yet on a per capita basis, Ireland has around 90 to 95 times more data centres than China.

Why?

Why does a small island nation on the edge of Europe need such a vast concentration of digital infrastructure?

Who is it really serving?

These facilities consume enormous amounts of electricity, place increasing pressure on the national grid, require significant water resources for cooling, and occupy valuable land that could be used for housing, agriculture, or productive local industry.

Meanwhile Irish families are struggling with housing shortages, rising energy costs, overstretched infrastructure, and declining public services.

We are constantly told this is "progress."

But progress for whom?

The reality is that Ireland is increasingly being positioned as a digital warehouse for multinational corporations and global data traffic.

A country of five million people should not be carrying a digital burden that is wildly disproportionate to its size.

When a nation has more data centres per person than a country with 1.4 billion people, it is time to start asking serious questions about who benefits, who pays the cost, and what kind of future is being built in our name.

Ireland was once known as the land of saints and scholars.

Now it risks becoming the server room of the world.

[Louise McKenna @_louise__]

Ireland is being transformed before our eyes, and most people have no idea of the scale of what is happening.

There are now over 130 data centres operating across the island, and they consume approximately 22% of Ireland's electricity. That means more than one fifth of all the electricity generated in the country is being used to power servers, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, social media, financial systems, and the digital infrastructure of multinational corporations.

Think about what that means.

At the same time that ordinary families are being told to reduce their energy consumption, pay higher electricity bills, install smart meters, accept carbon taxes, drive less, and change their lifestyles, the demand from data centres continues to grow.

We are told there is an energy crisis.

We are told there is a climate crisis.

We are told there is not enough electricity.

Yet there always seems to be enough electricity available when another data centre is proposed.

Ireland was once an agricultural nation known for food production, farming, fisheries, and local industry. Increasingly, however, vast sections of the country are being reshaped to support a digital economy that serves global corporations.

The public is expected to accept wind farms across rural landscapes, industrial scale solar developments on agricultural land, new transmission infrastructure, and ever increasing electricity costs. The justification is often presented as environmental necessity.

But if data centres are consuming such enormous quantities of power, why are they not required to generate the electricity they need themselves?

Why should the burden be placed on rural communities?

Why should productive farmland be converted into energy infrastructure?

Why should local communities lose planning battles against projects they do not want?

If a factory requires energy to operate, it factors that cost into its business model. Why should data centres be any different?

This is not an argument against technology.

It is an argument for honesty.

Ireland deserves a serious national debate about who benefits from these developments, who pays for them, and what kind of country we are becoming.

Because once farmland is covered with solar panels, once landscapes are industrialised, once communities lose control over planning decisions, and once the electricity grid becomes dependent on servicing multinational digital infrastructure, there may be no going back.

The question is simple.

Are Irish people expected to adapt their lives to serve the data centres?

Or should the data centres be expected to adapt to the needs of Ireland?

[Dr. Marcus De Brun @indepdubnrth]

We can't build a Children's Hospital, and the emergency department in Beaumont has been extended with a tent.... but 130 data centres? No problem!

[Ed Abrahamson @abrahamson_ed]

The behaviour of Keilty was shocking but not surprising given that it was RTÉ. What was more shocking was the total silence from the audience.

Whilst countries across Europe and beyond are explicitly calling out antisemitism, in Ireland there is silence (apart from the few brave ones we all know and admire on here).

A silence which is deafening, whilst our cries fall on deaf ears.

I am so so angry right now.

[Dr. Marcus De Brun @indepdubnrth]

So Professor Dagleish of St Georges University Hospital London -one of the UK's top cancer experts -takes the stand at Dr Ralph's Hearing and states: clearly, categorically and under oath that: Covid Vaccines are dangerous, that they result in cancers and are the cause of excess mortality figures....

Yet RTE report NOTHING...., and the Irish Times report that the Professor is merely: 'against masks and Lockdowns'.

It's called 'CENSORSHIP'

Pure and simple!

[James F Hurst 🇮🇪 @JFHurstX]

Below you'll find a table, which is from data, pulled from the Charities Regulator, so this data is publicly available, and is freely available for anyone to get.

I'm in shock at what I'm seeing, from the year 2020 to 2024, on an average 83% of the total income received by charities (aka NGOs) that are not serving the interests of the Irish people, is provided by the Irish government or a public body (aka the government funnels the money through a body it owns).

Let that sink in, NGOs that serve non Irish, are being funded at a rate of 83% by the government, that means only 17% comes from non government sources.

You the tax payer are paying for these NGOs to work against your own interests, and the data shows it.

You don't vote for it, but you are paying for it.

More will come out, but for now I'm in shock, 83%, that's a large %, I thought maybe at most 50% and the rest come from the public pockets directly, no ladies and gentlemen, the government is funding nearly completely.

The Government and the Non Irish NGOs operating in Ireland, are in bed together, working against you.

[Tayem Mercer @MercerTaye4401]

What many are failing to grasp is this:
What happened over the last 6 days — and especially yesterday — was a major win for the people of Ireland.
Not because everything is fixed… but because everything was exposed.

In their rush to act, the government revealed far more than they intended. In the middle of their own decisions, they showed the world their cracks — and in doing so, crossed lines they shouldn’t have. Laws weren’t broken by the people… they were broken by the government.

That matters. Because once something is exposed, it can’t be hidden again.

I’ll expand more later this evening, but understand this — the house is not standing strong like it once appeared. It’s fractured. And the pieces are starting to fall.

Victory doesn’t come in a single day. It unfolds over time.
This… is the beginning.
The genesis of something new.
The rebirth of the fighting Irish.
