So the Iranian regime FM is lauding @McNamaraMEP for his anti-Israel stance.

What a fucking disgrace you are McNamara. Maybe you should focus your attention on Ireland 🇮🇪 instead of simping for the mullahs in Tehran.

There will be no politican left to vote for Russian interests .....they're all off to Gaza...

It’s understood that 🇮🇪 troops were not among those closest to the drone strikes.

In a separate incident, 🇮🇱 forces conducted an operation last night in which a house located in the vicinity of the 🇮🇪 peacekeepers’ camp was blown up https://t.co/B67MJ3g0U8

Ireland’s role in a broken United Nations: ‘there’s cynicism among member states towards our so-called neutrality’.

“There have been no new peacekeeping missions approved by the UN Security Council since 2014, the year Russia first invaded Ukraine. We cannot be held by others.”

Its been a while since we've seen an Irish politician show some liathróidí.

Remembering our friend and colleague Sgt Colm Kavanagh (Retd.) who passed away this morning. Colm was the first Defence Forces medic to undergo selection and spent many years in the unit. May he Rest In Peace.

If Connolly wants to be president, she might wanna read up on the constitution, and maybe a couple of acts of, you know, the Oireachtas, where it appears she's been stealing a salary for 10 years.

[Napaleo @newpeteV1]

Car crash interview from Connolly. Multiple times asked the same question which she refuses to answer.

Personal highlight is her confident assertion that she has never been accused of hypocrisy!

She might want to check Twitter every now and again.

"The army is becoming increasingly militarised"

[Conor Hogarty @ConorHogarty]

From Gemma O'Doherty to Syria, Catherine Connolly isn't fond of hard questions - and she doesn't like some of the easy ones either.

"We don't need an army"

"The army is becoming increasingly militarised".

Mother of god.

[David W. Higgins @higginsdavidw]

Catherine Connolly digs more holes for herself in this interview.

🔴 Gemma O'Doherty deflected with "It is so long ago". No clear yes / no on whether she knew of her public conspiracy views like the HPV vaccine 💉 at the time of nomination.

🔴 Lisbon Treaty (2008 🇪🇺) was when she "woke up" to the EU. She cites the "neoliberal agenda" and "building up of the arms industry".

🔴 EU “is certainly not a peace project and has not been for a long time” ⚠️

🔴 Fumbles on Assad (🇸🇾), unable to name who organised the trip and is surprised when it's put to her that a man sanctioned by the EU was among those the group met.

🔴 On Wallace and Daly, "I am sure they will be involved in the campaign". ⚠️⚠️⚠️����

🔴 Insists she clapped for Zelensky (🇺🇦/🇷🇺) but adds "perhaps a dignified silence would have been better". So she wishes she hadn't... 🤔

Poor preparation for questions her team must have known were coming. Moreover, a thoroughly concerning set of views that must have some in @labour feeling buyer's remorse....

About two months more of this to go. Possible that the Connolly campaign has totally crumbled by then.

[Cossie 🇮🇪🇪🇺🇨🇵🇺🇦🇱🇧 @ger_cosgrove]

@CathalOhEanna Travelled to Syria (all expenses paid). Got a guided tour of what remained of a Palestinian refugees camp, where Assad butchered every man, woman and child, and all she did was praise Assad afterwards.
Not that one would expect the IRA to see anything wrong with that.

@TullMcAdoo Catherine Connolly is a threat to national security. 🇮🇪

[Patrick J. Brewster @Patrick13020475]

@TullMcAdoo And those off the wall utterances re-emphasise, beyond any doubt, her unsuitability for the presidency
