@ColmanOfGuaire silently abandoned the hugely popular swashbuckling FF populism in favour of the near unanimous smug FG neoliberal garbage.
An interesting bit of trivia, CJ Haughey was never in any of the textbooks for Junior Cert History when I was doing it in the late 2010s.
@ColmanOfGuaire Watched the (probably already biased) anti-Haughey documentary.
It's only now I'm finding out this man was so popular they really needed an almost Soviet-esque lockdown of the media to make people dislike him.
@ColmanOfGuaire I can't fathom how people saw any continuity between him and Bertie Ahern, even less Cowen and Martin.
Like I understand it takes a while for the grassroots to catch up to what's going on at the top, but it's been 30+ years and a lot of older FF voters seemed to have just..
NEW: Dr. Fauci was concerned in January 2021 that the second dose of the COVID shot “theoretically could be associated with miscarriage in the 1st trimester.”
@SenRandPaul and I released the texts between Anthony Fauci, Rochelle Walensky, and Vivek Murthy below.
While I’ve been conducting oversight for years, now that we have the documents and Fauci’s government-issued phone, my investigation has only just begun.
@Toibin1 a contracting and declining country.
One can go to a Latin Mass in any of Ireland's cities and see large families, people founding schools, solid communities.
And I think when confronted with that, a lot of people in the Irish state are of the mind 'Where we go one, we go all".
@Toibin1 A shockingly high number of people exist who really resent that there are 'still' Catholic families who take their faith seriously, home-school children, and worst of all their communities are very strong and growing year on year. A pleasant conservative microcosm in the midst of
@1PintBeamish parochial Ireland, for better or worse. I'm sure we'd all have things we resent about rural Ireland, but these people are just West Brits
I hope you'll forgive me for writing a treatise over this song lol.
@1PintBeamish young lads driving tractors, the local pub, the jokers in your class from secondary school, and an imagined Catholic Church where John Charles McQuaid is preaching the Summa from the pulpit every Sunday
Hating Killeagh is basically a renouncement of all associated with...
@1PintBeamish Sorry if I came across as belligerent, you're not wrong. It is bizarre really that Hegarty plays Junior. I think the last time it happened was Nicky English in Tipp.
Another funny one is Patrickswell. Despite having 3 HOTYs they're actually a fairly shaky club at Senior.
@1PintBeamish Both very small clubs. The vast majority of the Limerick team play Premier-Intermediate or Senior.
Limerick Junior A is still Junior A quality hurling lol
Guarantee you Crecora were lumping long balls in Cathal O'Neill all game.
@1PintBeamish@doledrink O'Connor isn't the right man for the job, county board would benefit from the age old strategy of 'Just play the best players', instead of obsessing over stuff like Dalton not being fast.
Gillane isn't fast either
@1PintBeamish@doledrink Absolutely bizarre that Cork refuse to play arguably the best hurler in the country in terms of ability.
Dalton should be the full forward.
They'd do well to drop that Cahalane at corner back too, pure liability all year
Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

@EoinLenihan According to the list of Yes/No published by Gript: Dublin West, Dublin South-Central, Dublin Central, Dublin Fingal-East, Dublin Fingal-West (Louise O'Reilly not present), Dublin North-West.
I manually checked every constituency, all outside Dublin had at least 1 no vote.
