Spain: language test + 60% civics exam for citizenship.
Germany: B1 + 33-question civics test.

France: mandatory civic exam from 2026.
Ireland: neither.

The Taoiseach says this shouldn't change.

I disagree. Time to match the European norm.

Useless incompetent Irish senior politicians putting Irish citizens in danger. #Ireland

The government refused to answer these questions in relation to the Belfast attack during the week.

Indeed they attacked me for asking.

Sixteen people eight Roma women and eight Roma men, aged 18 to 60 have been charged with 24 offences linked to a Garda investigation into retail theft in Dublin.

The charges stem from Operation Táirge, Gardaí’s ongoing effort targeting theft, handling stolen property, criminal damage, and assaults on staff in retail premises, mainly in the Dublin 7 area.

All 16 individuals are scheduled to appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Thursday morning at 10:30 a.m. One additional person received an adult caution, and another was referred to the National Juvenile Diversion Programme.

Gardaí noted that the Bridewell Community Policing team has worked with local businesses to provide reassurance and crime prevention advice, with investigations continuing.

Reddit strikes again. We know exactly why it's hard for young Irish people to get a job in Dublin. The most liked comment was removed by the mods but I saw it before it was deleted. Indians. Indians are the reason. 👨🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼👨🏾‍💼

Did you know that official police policy requires them to be racist against Whites? It is deeply wrong and must change NOW.

Portugal has doubled the residency requirement for citizenship from five to ten years, making it harder for migrants to become naturalised:

[Kevin Parlon @Deiscirt]

Reminder: Ireland grants citizenship with zero requirement to speak English (or Irish), uphold Irish values, or know the first thing about the country. You could literally be a committed Jihadist who thinks and talks about nothing else and it still wouldn’t care.

A Nigerian man living in London, charged with money laundering connected to an €800,000 fraud, had been flying to Dublin weekly to collect the dole, a court has heard https://t.co/7zqk0OHGpp

This is the Ireland we're living in now, where a man can smash the bones of a female passer by, knocking her out cold with an elbow to the face, then swan out of court on bail, and not a word out of the @NWCI or the mainstream media.

What exactly do you have to do to have your passport rescinded around here? Seems like terrorism isn't even bad enough.

How can electricity be so expensive when the leading provider (ESB) posted profits of €769 million in 2024?

Irish is now a laughing stock because people find it difficult to believe that there are 34k NGOs in a country with 5.5 million people. That’s one NGO for every 161 people in Ireland.

@SuzieD755164 24 months! What a disgrace, build another prison if you can't house these vile sex offender criminals. They do not belong in society.

[Nicola J @NikiCJ]

@courtsnewsIRL Whoever provided a character reference for this paedophile predator is vile. To turn a blind eye to one of the worst crimes a person can commit. I'd be looking into them, why did they think this was okay?

[Courts News Ireland @courtsnewsIRL]

A judge has said it is "quite extraordinary" that a TD and others who provided character references for a former government advisor convicted of sexually exploiting a 13-year-old boy failed to mention the victim or the "vile nature" of the crime committed.

@SineadOS1 @mobfecit Ireland is like a household where an authoritarian alcoholic father (cabinet) in control of the money squanders essential rental income from an inherited property (Ireland to US MNCs) on superfluous things (IPAS, Net Zero etc) to impress his buddies down in the local pub (EU).

4: My final straw was the death of my 9-year-old son Harvey.Removed from the urgent list without our knowledge or consent. He died on 29 July 2025. And he's not the only one. No child should die like my son. What will YOUR final straw be?

[Poigíní Gréine @poiginigreine]

What about the rest of us?

My company has 12 vans on the road and paying nearly €2k per week for fuel. We’re not in the haulage or agri-food sector but we have 85+ employees and subcontractors who still have to get to work and it’s becoming unaffordable for them to do so.

Last weekend, @davidmcw wrote a fantastic piece:

"Is Ireland the worst run country in Europe?"

Here on X, we already know the answer.

But over at Irish Times, regular readers have no idea.

Judging by the article, they think Ireland is run badly because of the Metro, Children's Hospital or Port Tunnel running over budget.

The article doesn't even mention "Emergency Accommodation".

In order to truly understand why "Ireland is the worst run country in Europe".

You need to know how the Govt has spent over €15billion in 6 years.

You need to know how:

organised crime,
people trafficking,
corruption,
off shore companies
political influence,
tax structures,
the GAA,
Wall Street bankers,
runaway spending and
total Govt incompetency, are the heart of all this.

There is no other story like this in Irish Political Scandal History.

Its truly the BIGGEST EVER.
Maybe TOO BIG.

Someone should definitely write a book on it.💡
