Congratulations to Mark Carney on becoming Prime Minister of Canada. As a devoted Evertonian he’ll know how to deal with domineering and unpopular near neighbours 💙

I don’t want to hear any Republicans talk about “freedom” unless they have the guts to call out Trump for the lies that he is telling about Putin and Ukraine.

It was Russia that started the war, not Ukraine.

Putin is the dictator, not Zelensky.

@ClarkieRonan Sure you deserve it. I am not an Armagh man, but have always, but very quietly, appreciated the skills of class footballers irrespective of who they play for.

The Founding Fathers of this country created the longest standing democracy on earth and millions of Americans fought and died to preserve it.

Trump is betraying their vision and moving us to authoritarianism.

Stand tall. Defend democracy. We will win.

UPDATE: It's happening now. German police entered the new venue to intimidate our people who remain intent to meeting with Francesca Albanese and Amnesty International. The police miss no chance to prove that totalitarianism is back in Germany even before the AfD has won gvt

@OCallaghanJim Well said. We need lots more officers on the ground in Dublin City Centre. We cannot lose the streets of our capital city to dangerous thugs and facist activists who represent a clear and present danger to the State.

[Jim O'Callaghan TD @OCallaghanJim]

My first priority as Minister for Justice is to get more Gardaí on our streets. Garda recruitment is now open. It’s a job worth doing.

A Tunisian man, who was in the middle of a psychotic episode when he slashed a woman's face after holding a broken shard of glass to her throat outside her home, has had the final year of his three-year sentence suspended on condition that he leave Ireland on his release from prison.

The victim was terrified she was going to be killed during the attack by Sami Skhiri, who resisted arrest when caught by gardai.
