You’d honestly feel sorry for all those middle class people who are so propagandised they continue to vote for Fine Gael in the naive belief that THIS TIME Fine Gael will serve their interests.

In reality Fine Gael, like Fianna Fáil, serve the interests of domestic & global elites.

The naive amongst the Irish middle class occasionally get a scattering of crumbs from FFG, but mostly they’ve gotten screwed and are getting slowly even more screwed.

Maybe one day these uniquely gullible members of the Irish middle class will realise the ruse. Doubtful.

I could not agree more with Keane on Bruno Fernandes here. Stat padding. Meaningless without trophies.

Dublin GAA Star, 21, Defies Death Sentence by Completing Half Marathon After Stage Four Cancer Diagnosis

Lana Nolan, a talented young GAA footballer from Glasnevin, has stunned many after running the Dublin City Half Marathon just weeks after major cancer surgery, and raising more than €13,000 for the Irish Cancer Society in the process.

The 21-year-old Dublin minor and Under-20 player was hit with a devastating diagnosis earlier this year. A tumour was discovered during emergency appendix surgery, leading to the news that she had stage four cancer in her appendix and stage two cancer in her bowel. The nursing student at DCU was completely blindsided.

Lana later underwent successful surgery to remove sections of her right colon and small intestine. Despite not being able to train properly until very recently, she completed the half marathon at the weekend in an impressive 2 hours and 1 minute.She ran the race alongside her father, Des, describing it as one of the hardest challenges she has ever faced.

Sharing photos from the day, Lana admitted she was "still a bit in shock" that she actually finished. In an emotional Instagram post, she wrote: "From being told 'you have cancer' in January... to somehow finishing a half marathon 8 weeks after surgery.

"This has easily been one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with, mentally and physically."
She added that there were moments during the race when she doubted she could continue, but pushed on for a greater cause.

"Running it for the Irish Cancer Society made it mean that bit more. Raising over €13,000 is honestly mad," she said, thanking everyone who supported her.

Lana, who first felt unwell in January with numbness in her legs and extreme fatigue despite her lifelong fitness from football, no longer requires further treatment and has been cleared to return to playing for her club, Ballymun Kickhams.
The cancer was identified as a Neuroendocrine Tumour (NET), a rare form typically seen in people over 60, making her diagnosis at 21 even more unusual.Amy Nolan from the Irish Cancer Society praised Lana’s efforts, saying the organisation was "blown away" by her fundraising and grateful for the support. She also encouraged young people to speak to their GP about any persistent or unusual symptoms.

Lana’s remarkable journey from diagnosis to the finish line has inspired many, showing incredible resilience in the face of adversity.

Remembering Red Óg Murphy who sadly passed away four years ago today.

Red left a special legacy that will live on forever.

Take the time to check in on a friend, a family member or someone you know and tell them you love them.

Obviously, @albertdolan_ has been inundated by people complaining about being hammered with rip-off energy costs after his disastrous outing on #TonightVMTV - he is calling on the #FFg Government to act to address the gouging.

The boy who the Israeli terrorist forces murdered on Wednesday in Jabalia before a tank advanced to run over him was named Zaher Shamiyya. He was 16 years old.

Every time I see his beautiful smile. I see my boys.

Please don’t forget him. 💚

@dublinpeople @GaryGannonTD Evidence led approach doesn't seem to resonate with governments. It's the ould saying of lock them up and throw away the key. Please push on for the need to reform our justice system particularly with the youth justice system. Early intervention with young offenders will help

Today, like every other day, Israel will commit war crimes.

They'll murder children.

They'll steal lands.

They'll bomb homes.

They'll do it with impunity and the backing of those who claim to care about "human rights".

Do everything you can.

Use your voice.

✨Please read and share to all platforms✨

Firstly myself and @Stephen63224725 want to say thank you for the massive amount of support we have been shown since Harvey’s passing. To say it has been an overwhelming time would be a massive understatement.
This march on Saturday is a march for #JusticeForHarvey and all the other kids currently waiting excessively for access to healthcare. This is to be a peaceful march, as anything less than that would not only discredit our cause, but it would tarnish our beautiful boy’s name. We kindly ask that if you cannot respect that, please do not attend.
This is a march to call out systemic failures within @CHI_Ireland and to call for change within paediatric healthcare.
This is not an anti-government protest, it is not a Pro-Palestine protest, a Pro-Ukraine protest, a housing protest etc. our message needs to be clear and this is why we are holding firm on the no flags/political banners. We cannot dilute our message.
On the #ResignHarris trend, we hold @SimonHarrisTD accountable for the four month promise, the promise to meet and failing to do so, and him choosing to ignore the calls from the advocacy groups. We do not hold him directly accountable for Harvey’s death and anyone doing so is doing it against our own wishes. Our issue with him is purely political and not personal. For anyone commenting on his posts or government posts and calling for #JusticeForHarvey we ask that if you are using Harvey’s name that you do so in a respectful way please. Thank you again.

On nominating Simon Harris to be Taoiseach in 2024

It's that sense of simply wanting to help, of breaking down barriers and making life better for people that drives Simon Harris. I know under his leadership we are going to see a major focus on improving supports for people with disabilities and that is something I very much welcome - Heather Humphreys

#JusticeforHarvey #Aras25

[Gillian Sherratt @GillSherratt23]

At this point we would ask all political parties to back our campaign to get #JusticForHarvey. Including seeing the resignation of @SimonHarrisTD
The board of @CHI_Ireland to be disbanded, and for there to be a full public inquiry in to Children’s health Ireland spina bifida and complex orthopaedic care.
These kids have been failed long enough and we need to see true systemic change brought in. #ResignHarris

[The Scoliosis Advocacy Network #BackUs @scolionetwork]

We & @SBH_PAG could see the discrepancies in @CHI_Ireland scoliosis waiting list figures - but instead of informing parents, they were brushed under the carpet. @BernardGloster

We raised our concerns with the #NTPF.
We contacted the Spinal Business Management Unit - the team tasked with improving #scoliosis care.

What did they do?
Withheld information parents had every right to know.
Ignored emails.
Refused to answer direct questions about their child’s wait listing. @CarrollJennifer

Harvey was removed from a list without his parents’ knowledge … left waiting for a surgery that was never going to happen. That’s a disgrace and not child centric care.

This was known. It was raised. It was ignored.
Disgraceful carry on and children paid the price. @SimonHarrisTD
