Not wanting to be drawn in to 'culture wars' simply means critics need to accept trans embedding in Irish primary and secondary education and shut up.
Same as IPAS 'no consultation, no veto' & fuel protestors etc.
He is a soft-spoken authoritarian. If he could get away with saying, "Just shut up and do what I say in every interview, he would."
This is a very big deal.
One of Ireland's longest-running and best known opinion columnists says he was explicitly told that only negative stories about Trump would be published.
Many of us have long suspected that there was editorial pressure to attack Trump in the Irish media. This is the first journalist brave enough to come out and state it explicitly.

Excellent by O'Flynn.
The Irish government only lurch from crisis to crisis. They have no vision for the country. Never had & we're seeing the effects of that.
It is inspiring to hear a politician talk about vision - a vision of Ireland for young Irish people.

When you see the disdain Varadkar has for rural Ireland then you can better understand his 'no veto, no consultation' policy of forced IPAS centres in small villages around the nation. He cannot see beyond Dublin and equipped with an authoritarian streak he sees rural Ireland, at best, as room for more solar panels, American multinationals and carparks.
@LeoVaradkar You had *checks notes* thirteen years in government to make these graphs look different. Thankfully only one of us teaches economics. You wouldn’t even get into my class 💁🏼♀️
@walsh_olwy49662 In 2025 the Irish government spent;
1. €1.2 billion on IPAS accommodation.
2. €6+ billion on NGO funding.
3. €800 million on foreign aid.
4. RTE €225 million as part of the €750 million multi-year bail out.
Take your pick.
Good man Eddie. Out representing my home county of Clare. Thanks to all the farmers and hauliers who are calling for common sense governance; an end to carbon taxes, prioritisation of food and energy security and native industry-first policies.

I spoke to @GBNEWS the day after my speech at the EU. We talk about political dysfunction in Ireland and the potential for mass civil unrest.

It's getting more difficult for vegetable farmers to make a living in Ireland. Cost of production raises aside, we've long passed the era where people would have a small vegetable patch of their own for full or partial self-sustenance.
That was a deal our grandparents made as part of the great rural-urban movements of the mid-20th century in Ireland. By moving to the towns and cities people outsourced food production to grocery shops.
That worked well enough while grocery shops were family owned and firmly rooted in communities. There was a direct relationship between client and owner. But several generations into that relationship, family run grocery shops have been replaced by chain supermarkets - often international like Tesco, Aldi, Lidl, Spar - where interactions between customer and shop are contractual only.
Big chain supermarkets are profit-driven and that means the worst deal for the native farmer at all times. However, in times of inflation, green penalties on production, increased energy supply costs etc, the farmer goes under. The internationally-owned supermarket will happily import vegetables from the cheapest possible shipper internationally. The meagre profits go outside the country, the always healthy profits also go outside the country.
Of course the best way to support local farmers is to go to them directly to purchase goods or find them at a weekend local market but better yet is to return to our roots - full or partial food self-sufficiency.
Even if it's a city balcony there's a deep sense of satisfaction in supplementary self-sufficiency - pack it with salads and herbs. If you're one of the 40% of working young under the age of 35 stuck in your childhood bedroom, commandeer as much of your parents garden as possible for vegetable production. Aim for self-sufficiency for the year in onion, garlic, spuds, cabbage, carrots, parsnips. This is very achievable on a modest plot. Most pre-Celtic tiger gardens will allow you to grow a major portion of your annual vegetable needs.
Best of all, if you are in a position to do so, buy an old cottage out in the countryside and renovate it. Bring it back to life as it once was - a hub for self-sufficiency, room to prosper mentally and spiritually. There's soil under those brambles. Soil that sustained generations of Irish families. It can sustain yours.

The fact that all Irish universities (Trinity excepted) retreated from X for ideological/political grounds should set off alarm bells.
Ireland is small - all universities acting in concert points to ideological capture across higher ed.
Unis produce teachers, politicians, journalists, civil servants etc. Extremist universities = a chaotic and unstable society.

Ireland must prioritise the remigration of hundreds of thousands of welfare dependant and net economic loss migrants to ease pressure on housing, infrastructure and social cohesion.
Problem solved.
