@ivanabacik @WatchPopulistIr @NTBreakfast @LabourCSC @LouiseCrowley2 @karenkiernan @1familyireland @Sdomeara @labourwomen @labour They “redefined” human life to exclude unborn boys and girls so that they could be murdered in their mothers’ wombs.
They “redefined” marriage to include the travesty that is same sex marriage.
Now they are targeting the traditional family. So no more Mum, Dad, son or daughter.

@FrankmcnallyIT Not forgetting Dublin’s famous Gloucester Diamond, near the Monto district!

@rtenews Imagine that ! Describing an Irish journalist as a ‘.left winger’. Whatever next!

@nick55053384 @ionainstitute Why bring Ivana’s ethnic background into the debate. I’m sure she doesn’t want to import outmoded east European (hard left ) ideology into our Constitution. Or does she?

@MaryKenny4 @tomdoorley The contrast with the eye watering level of State funding lavished on the National Women’s Council @NWCI as well as other NGOs and actual State bodies banging the “Woke” drum 🥁 is quite staggering!

@DamhlaicMac @LFJIreland He said he had been on a journey prior to the Repeal of the 8th Amendment. We now know that the journey has already led to the murder of 55,000 infants in the womb. An abomination.

@MoragMitchell3 In Ireland we have some experience of this British “graciousness”: we spend hours reminiscing about Henry VIII’s expropriation of our Catholic monasteries and Oliver Cromwell’s genocide of our people. Not to mention Lord Denning’s appalling jailing of the innocent Birmingham Six

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

I was watching highlights from President Carter’s funeral service at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC. I found some of the speeches very moving. But I was appalled when two country singers launched into a rendition of John Lennon’s "Imagine."  Under the soaring vault of what I think is still a Christian church, they reverently intoned, “Imagine there’s no heaven; it’s easy if you try” and “imagine there’s no country; it isn’t hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too.” Vested ministers sat patiently while a hymn to atheistic humanism was sung. This was not only an insult to the memory of a devoutly believing Christian but also an indicator of the spinelessness of too much of established religion in our country.

[Mary Kenny @MaryKenny4]

Absolutely disgraceful that a great artist should ever have been subjected to this treatment. (Or anyone, really.)

"He remained a true and faithful servant of our struggle until his very very last"... Mary Lou McDonald on Ted Howell.

"Our struggle?" What struggling did McDonald do?

[Austin Stack 🇮🇪🇪🇺 @adstack68]

I know @BreegeQuinn & know the trauma that she has suffered, especially from the wrongful accusations of Conor Murphy against her son Paul. When @sinnfeinireland decided to put Conor Murphy in the Seanad they have yet again slapped in the face of victims.

@ProfRayKinsella @PM_ViktorOrban @battleforeurope @euronews When you join a club you agree to play by the rules. You can’t have your cake and eat it!

@danobrien20 Its quite simple Dan. “Progressive” is woke code for pro-abortion and anti-Catholic!

[PaddyBackwoodsman @PaddyBarry5]

The unelected decision makers, Coisde Seasta (think Army Council), in Belfast would love that!

@cahillbooks Michelle will
Move to take over

[PaddyBackwoodsman @PaddyBarry5]

@IrishCathNews Doesn't the Irish Constitution guarantee freedom of religion to all?

[PaddyBackwoodsman @PaddyBarry5]

@lifeinstitute @theRallyforLife @sinnfeinireland There is nothing pro-life about Aontú’s hero worship of the IRA murderers of Jean McConville, Mary Travers, Mary Wilson and thousands of others. Done in the name of the Irish Republic but most definitely NOT IN MY NAME.

[PaddyBackwoodsman @PaddyBarry5]

@lifeinstitute @theRallyforLife Aontú is NOT a Pro-Life party. How could it be? It was founded by Peadar Tóibín when he left @sinnfeinireland because he disagreed with their pro-abortion policies. But he did not leave behind his support for the poisonous, anti-life philosophy of violent Irish republicanism.

[PaddyBackwoodsman @PaddyBarry5]

Didn't Bertie Ahern establish formal structures for dialogue between Church and State? Doesn't look like it has any practical effect!

[PaddyBackwoodsman @PaddyBarry5]

@rtenews WHY NO COVERAGE WITHDRAWAL OF PRISONERS RIGHTS TO PRACTICE THEIR RELIGIOUS FAITH IN MOUNTJOY JAIL
NOT EVEN THE BRITISH STOOPED SO LOW.

[The Irish Catholic @IrishCathNews]

Following news that Mountjoy prison chapel will undergo repurposing over Christmas, Bishop Hayes stated: "I can only conclude... that prisoners’ rights in Mountjoy – in terms of their freedom of religious expression – have been suppressed by authorities.
