🌊The tide is turning.

Parents gathered in Dublin today as part of a nationwide campaign for safe classrooms and an education free from indoctrination, ideological capture, and the sexualisation of children.

More workshops will follow across the country.

@noshiteplease I’m so upset at the thought of this man waking up to realise he has no eyes anymore and scarred beyond recognition. 😢💔If he does wake up. I’ve cried a couple of times and I’m hard out

@AddressingLife Irish needs to be a conversation. The minute the teacher starts teaching Irish the class must be As
Gaeilge.The aim of teaching it must be to have a conversation on a topic with your friend having researched the vocabulary.Correct mistakes later. The curriculum has it wrong

I’m unsure as to why you follow me Shane as you clearly despise everything about me and my show. So here is a suggestion for you.
Why don’t you block me and then find a hobby, like trainspotting or knitting and then you could move to bluesky where all the “nice” people go who promote “be kind” while the abuse everybody who disagrees with them.

DEI caused the death of an elderly Irishman

"She crashed a bus two weeks before this accident in Wicklow Town"

What people do know is that I have been found GUILTY of undermining public health guidelines during the Pandemic.

What the public DO NOT KNOW is what those guidelines stated. So I will publish them here:

For the treatment of Covid patients in the Community/Nursing Homes settings, Doctors were advised as follows:

1. Do not take the patients blood pressure.

2. Do not listen to their chest (auscultation)

3. Do not prescribe any medication (paracetamol only)

4. Refer to end of life protocols (palliative care/midazolam).

What these guidelines effectively stated is this: Do not examine your patients. Do not touch your patients.
Do not prescribe treatments for your patients -and if they appear to be very unwell- sedate them and allow them to die.

I can only recall one period in human history when human beings were treated in this manner.

Now that RTÉ are admitting the queer books for kids aren’t appropriate, is Ireland ready to admit the ‘far right library protests’ were justified?

I want to recap what actually happened at M&S, because some people seem determined to turn this into something it was not.

I went early evening because I thought the shop would be quieter. I was shopping with my teenage daughter, who is autistic and has sensory issues around clothing.

Anyone who parents a child with sensory difficulties will understand how hard clothes shopping can be. Fabric, fit, seams, tightness, waistbands, labels, texture, all of it matters. Something can look perfectly fine on the hanger and be completely unbearable once worn.

Ordering several sizes online and returning them is neither logistically nor economically feasible for us, and in any case my daughter likes to touch and see things before deciding whether she is comfortable with them. That approach simply doesn’t work for her.

So, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing would have suited me better than for my daughter to be able to try the clothes on and ensure she has enough things to see her through Summer.

That was the whole point of going to the changing rooms.

I was not looking for confrontation. I was not trying to make a political point. I was trying to make an ordinary shopping trip work for an autistic teenage girl who finds clothes difficult.

I walked into the changing area calmly and practically. My intention was to find a suitable cubicle, ideally the larger disabled one, check that it felt safe and manageable, and then encourage my daughter to follow me in.

That was the plan.

Had she been able to try the clothes on, it would have saved time, stress, uncertainty, returns, and the familiar nightmare of buying something that later turns out to be impossible for her to wear.

So the idea that I somehow wanted there to be a problem is absurd.

The changing room was supposed to be the solution.

The problem arose when my daughter became distressed by the presence of a male member of staff supervising the changing area. I had not anticipated her reaction. It was not scripted by me. I did not wind her up. I did not march in looking for a row.

She reacted. I saw her distress. I took it seriously.

And yes, I think a teenage girl, particularly an autistic teenage girl, is entitled to feel safe and comfortable in a changing-room environment.

This is not complicated. It is not about hating anyone. It is not about being difficult. It is not about “vibes” or emotional projection or whatever patronising theory people wish to attach to it online.

It is about a vulnerable young woman trying to buy clothes, and finding that the space provided did not feel safe or appropriate to her.

Parents of autistic children spend a lot of time trying to prepare, adapt, reassure, smooth things over, and make ordinary life manageable. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t.

On this occasion, it didn’t.

But I will not apologise for taking my daughter’s distress seriously. Or believing that M&S should change their policy.

Annacotty Farm Shop, Co Limerick !

Have been here a few times and many family members shop here for their meat.

Their food is halal !!

No thanks Annacotty Farm Shop Irish people who know better do not want Halal slaughtered meat

Halal is unnecessaringly brutal and inhumane just to satisfy a small minority of immigrants living in Ireland.

If people know anything about the slaughter process they would oppose and not help fund this practise.

[Cat D @DunphyCatherine]

@Nydon @JohnJCarvill @PeteGDunne 😂😂I’d bring the bland food back and swap it for my rent on a 3 bed old bungalow of €2500 a month and 2 kids and a permanent job on my own. And no
chance of mortgage approval. Bland food? Yes sir!!!

Did you know that the EU Migration Pact becomes fully operational in 3 weeks, at which time the EU will dictate the number of economic migrants we must accept.

Probably the greatest Scam & most expensive solution created by @greenparty_ie for a problem that never existed in Ireland, it now turns out you'll not just get your money back but a free nasty virus.

@Hania16836 Fresh Mayo and freshly oven cooked roast chicken breast pieces (preferably still hot) and you’ll be in food heaven. It sounds wrong but it really isn’t 🥪
