@Michael_O_Regan It won't be your last embarrassing day i'm sure
JP II helped to destroy Communism. He will never be forgiven for that. Sinéad was great voice and a troubled soul. Pity so many are attempting to exploit her even in death.

@Reverleo1 The 25k is just from 5 of them. Be closer to 36.

Lots of homelessness buck, little bang..

[gript @griptmedia]

Dr. MATT TREACY: The five largest homelessness organisations in Dublin have a combined annual budget of €137m - €86m of which comes from the taxpayer. They employ 1,774 people, or one person for every three homeless. So why are they so ineffective?

@_PeterRyan Griffith realised that conspiratorial Fenianism was ultimately a dead end. Most of what was achieved was through the open mass cultural and political movements.

@SmashThatF @_PeterRyan @ThoughtsToby He wasn't the last Sinn Féin leader to do that!

@wotansspear Like a Klan hootenanny 🙂

Irish citizens have one of highest per capita debt in the EU. Mostly thanks to our "friends" in the EU..

[gript @griptmedia]

MATT TREACY: We need to face the reality that the Irish state is, to a huge extent, almost completely dependent on the vagaries of the global economic and financial system.

@PeterPaulGuy Having worked in Leinster House I admit to not being at all surprised.

[Matt Treacy @MattTreacy2]

@PeterPaulGuy Another one that has convinced themselves they are smart because some bourgeois liberal adopted them.

[Matt Treacy @MattTreacy2]

@balorney @manolo_realengo They murdered 100,000 people for social democracy. Without the democracy obviously 🙂

[Matt Treacy @MattTreacy2]

Even the Cubans have abandoned socialism now. They sound like tge Progressive Democrats these days. 63 years of terror for nothing....

[Manolo De Los Santos @manolo_realengo]

Let's not confuse social justice with mere welfare or egalitarianism. It means distributing the wealth created by all, among all, in a differentiated way. Those who contribute more earn more, and those who can't must be assisted. But wealth creation itself remains a challenge.

Another election likely in Spain

[gript @griptmedia]

As the final seat shares were determined, it was apparent that neither of the main blocs led by the centre right and the centre left had secured a majority, writes MATT TREACY.

@rtenews Rather strange way to report a government losing its majority.

[Matt Treacy @MattTreacy2]

@DubNorthside Can't leave off the agenda even for one of few occasions left to "natives"

[Matt Treacy @MattTreacy2]

@EwanMacKenna There is certainly the same type of "vibe" emerging. Usual suspects of course.

[Matt Treacy @MattTreacy2]

@rea_esten It was proposed a few times but never followed through. Not certain it be much of a tribute to him given the state of the street at present.
