What’s wrong with just calling it Dublin Airport 😡 🤦🏻‍♂️
What’s with obsession with renaming things.
There are so many more important things councillors and politicians could be doing. https://t.co/ycpFFCanuL

Of all the birds in the world - funny how the only birds they kill because of "bird flu" are chickens.

- and of all the animals in the world - funny how the only animal farts that cause global warming are cow farts.

- Two things we eat most.

This is one of the most beautiful moments you will ever witness.

Sir Nicholas Winton helped 669 children — most of them Jewish — escape the Holocaust.

His humanitarian accomplishments would remain unknown and unnoticed by the world for nearly 50 years.

Then in 1988 he was invited to the BBC TV show That's Life!. There he sat — unknowingly — as part of the studio audience, surrounded by the children he had rescued. They were now adults.

Then they surprised him with one of the greatest gifts of all time. Their presence.

They were there, all alive — because of him. Not only was he reunited with dozens of children he had saved, but he was also introduced to many of their children and grandchildren.

Please remember Sir Nicholas Winton, for his humanitarian operation known as the Czech Kindertransport.

Sir Nicholas George Winton, a British stockbroker, and a gift to this planet, left us on July 1, 2015, at the age of 106.

May his memory forever be a blessing and inspiration to all.

Please share. International Holocaust Day cannot be forgotten. But many are working to make that happen.

I had a bizarre message from a person this morning which at first I found it had to believe, but I investigated the claim and I have now found it out to be true.

It seems that some elderly who have home help provided by the HSE had to give up their pets, primarily dogs because some of the home help providers primarily non Irish will not go into a house with a dog as it offends them.

We have all heard of comfort pets, or companion pets, also known as an emotional support animal (ESA) which can provide comfort, companionship, and therapeutic benefits for a person facing an emotional or mental health challenge, such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, chronic stress, ADHD, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). ESAs are usually dogs.

It seems that I am not the only one who has looked into this It seems according to Aontú Councillor Sarah Beasley, a candidate for Limerick City in the General Election and well known and long-standing animal rights advocate wrote about the same situation in Limerick and surrounding areas. @AontuL

This is an evolving story. If you or anyone you know have been affected by this, please DM me

She said

“This issue has been highlighted by a branch of SPCA Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and has naturally left vulnerable individuals heartbroken. It is beyond my understanding how anybody could dictate to elderly people or anybody, for that matter, that they should give up their animals”.

“Pets are part of the family, especially so for many elderly people who rely on them for companionship and emotional support, particularly those who live alone and face daily isolation. Equally, dogs, in particular, are a great source of security for people and this has a very important psychological impact for elderly people who feel secure knowing their dog are there and will alert them to any potential unwelcome visitors “.

“Potentially having to give up their pets would  strip elderly individuals of a vital source of comfort and connection and  exacerbates loneliness and mental health challenges”.

“It would also undermine their dignity, their autonomy and their basic human rights”.

“We know that loneliness particularly amongst elderly people is growing, and it is absolutely unthinkable and infuriating that they should be forced to give up their pets if external care workers say they are uncomfortable in their presence”.

“I totally believe in the dignity of workers, and the workplace should be safe and conflict free for people, but in these instances, the family pets could be put into another room while the care worker is present. We know that care visits don’t last too long, so this is an entirely sensible and reasonable solution”.

“The HSE must urgently investigate these practices to ensure elderly people receive care that respects their emotional and psychological needs rather than creating further unnecessary hardship and pain for them”

“If indeed the HSE does find widespread evidence of this, then an investigation should be launched to determine whether this constitutes a breach of civil or human rights. I am absolutely appalled to think of anybody ever being forced to give up their beloved pets."

Why was there a media blackout on this? Was this mother silenced?
I have so much compassion for this family - it’s heartbreaking what happened and how the state has treated this case. Has the man who stabbed these children even been prosecuted or put in prison?

[Dr Harold News @DrHaroldNews]

This is really great to see. We need more people like Gráinne Seoige in politics who're not afraid to call out establishment parties like Fianna Fáil for destroying the health service. 👏👏👏

[Senator Sharon Keogan @SenatorKeogan]

Does someone need to tell them that they were in government and they @FineGael along with their bedmates @fiannafailparty & @greenparty_ie made the decision to raise it again.

Remember to stop listening to the people who confidently predicted a Harris victory. They know nothing and they confuse what they want to be true with reality.

If you're British, that would include the most popular media and podcasts in the country. You have been misinformed.

Should it be a criminal offence to lie to the public during an election, in an election manifesto, or whilst holding public office?

🇪🇺 The #EU has to be based on the cooperation of nation states. Not top-down, but bottom-up approach, based on national interest, mutual trust, transparency, openness, shared values and cooperation. 🤝🏼

‼️ #Europe has to find its own voice and represent its own interests. Our standpoint isn’t against something, it’s for the sake of the European people.

[Michael McNamara MEP @McNamaraMEP]

Excessive government control of the media poses as much a risk to media pluralism and independent journalism as fake news, populism and disinformation.

The Global Ireland Media Challenge Fund sets a troubling precedent in Ireland.

[Tracey O'Mahony @TraceyOMahony81]

Never forget that Roderic O Gorman spearhead the introduction of an amnesty for 17,000 illegal migrants in 2021, to allow them to remain in Ireland permanently, even though these migrants did not meet the criteria for international protection

Never forget that Roderic O Gorman is also spearheading the funding of all international protection applicants to the tune of €5m per day or approximately €2b per year

This is criminal

[Senator Sharon Keogan @SenatorKeogan]

This woman @LCreighton is a serious miss in Irish politics.

Irish media is literally bought and paid for. Impossible to take them seriously.

IRELAND - Something is rotten in the Nation of Ireland.

Why does it have 32,841 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which tax payer funds £6 BILLION a year?

They have huge influence over government policy. Even the UN think it’s funny!

It isn’t!

[Robert Burke @robertburke84]

The two faces of Irish governance. Giving taxpayers their own money back in one off payments while increasing the carbon tax to recoup that money, making people pay more for fuel, while simultaneously driving up the cost of goods as businesses will need to pay more for transport.

[WhereWeAreNow @WhereWeAreNow1]

@rtenews Exactly how much carbon tax must be paid to change the climate?
