Bestie has trying for the president the last two times including now. I'm glad that he has not secured nomination for obvious reasons.

[RTÉ News @rtenews]

Former taoiseach Bertie Ahern has declined to give his backing to Fianna Fáil's presidential candidate Jim Gavin, after his own bid for the party’s nomination failed

In recent months, Israel has now bombed:

Palestine🇵🇸
Lebanon 🇱🇧
Syria 🇸🇾
Yemen 🇾🇪
Iran 🇮🇷
Tunisia 🇹🇳
Qatar 🇶🇦

It's a rogue state, pure and simple.

[Serap @Serap20341109]

@AdameMedia They're literally bringing Hamas leaders together to discuss Trump's proposal.
As soon as they arrive, they bomb them all in one location.

Who else would act like this? TERRORISTS! That's why they've been kicked out of everywhere they've been for 2,000 years.

@foleyjackie823 I agree completely with you. If this is the behaviour in front of everyone, imagine the behaviour otherwise.

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

I'm a bit frustrated. Since 6th May, @dpdireland has not delivered my package (Order No 121330844). They say that they tried to deliver a number of times, but this is untrue. I was told it be delivered yesterday but it wasn't. It was originally meant to be delivered within 3 days

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

This is because there is a correlation between foreign nationals and the housing crisis.

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

@TFIupdates This is why people don't complain in Ireland. Because, nothing changes. It is a waste of time and energy to complain. All public transport is the same. No responsibility, no accountability and no consequences for bad service. In Europe, ppl are compensated for bad service.

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

I've been saying this for years. Bikes, should be permitted on Bus Athan Cliath, Bus Eireann and Iannrod Eireann. Makes no sense otherwise.

The UK is like a person who looks rich but doesn’t own anything. The house is rented, the car is leased, the fancy watch is a gift from grandma.

Most British companies aren’t British. If you don’t own the assets, you don’t get the profit and you don‘t have the wealth.

The UK Government wants you to believe that the top 10% of British earners and investors aren’t paying enough in taxes (despite covering 50%+ of the bills).

The truth is, the UK doesn’t own anything anymore. When “British companies” make a profit it goes back to their foreign shareholders.

The economy isn’t in trouble because of wealth inequality the economy is in trouble because of asset deficiency.

The last chance the UK has to fix this is the small group of dynamic entrepreneurs and investors who are UK based. If you lose them, you’ve lost the existing businesses and the ability to create new ones. If the government taxes rise more - the only thing left in the UK will be cheap labour for foreign companies to exploit.

9. Scottish Power – Owned by Iberdrola (Spain) since 2007.

10. British Steel – Owned by Jingye Group (China) since 2020.

Worst government in history!

[Senator Sharon Keogan @SenatorKeogan]

Remember we have over 500 housing bodies, agencies looking after housing in this country. It pays to keep people homeless.

The Irish government can learn a lot from their Polish counterparts.

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

Ireland can follow?

Germany has insisted its move to launch border controls with its nine neighbouring countries to stop irregular migrants is in line with the EU's rules and not an attempt to go it alone https://t.co/KS0Bz0k6ek

@BobFlavin Driving is way cheaper than public transport. I've been saying this for years Public Transport may look cheaper when traveling solo but when travelling with a parnter or as a family, it is not cost effective to take public transport.

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

@walshrac The church (the building) itself not the establishment is a spirtual place. People attend church (the building) for spirtual enlighten. The idea is that mass itself is also seen as spirtual in the sense that people come together as a community, to pray, preach, sing and rejoice.

@EamonMelia That's how theft is done in politics: overprice a project and assign it to your friend the businessman who "won" the bidding. Then, you receive a part of the profit.
You can extrapolate this to a lot of the projects, including the children's hospital.

@NTBreakfast The junior cycle book is so wrong on so many levels.

[Jonathan Kavanagh @John66irl]

@SophieMcDLaw Public transport is not efficient for everyone. Travelling long distances, early morning or late evenings, it is unreliable. The frequency of public transport stops outside peak hours. If everyone decided to take public transport tomorrow, the system would not be able to cope.
