Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan, in an EU Committee meeting complains that she is prevented from being able to speak in Irish, implying there is no translation service available for Irish speakers. She is told, on the spot, that there is, (compliments of the European taxpayer). She then says she can't do it because she didn't prepare. The proverbial 'dog that caught the bus'.

What makes Dublin Zoo think that a worthwhile way to mark Mother's Day is to pay a bearded man to dress up as a woman? No doubt they wasted a load of money paying some PR company staffed by social science graduates from Maynooth University.

Joe Biden was a better president than Trump could ever be. Without a doubt. Retweet if you agree. #FundHealthcareOverICE

President Biden’s farewell address:

"I want to warn the country of some things that give me great concern. That's the dangerous concentration of power in the hands of a very few ultra wealthy people … Today, an oligarchy is taking shape.” (2025)

Almost every constituency coming in with >10% spoiled votes. In several constituencies spoiled votes beat Humphreys.
Turn-out ~40%. Looking like Connolly will have the support of fewer than 1 in 4 of the electorate. That is the weakest mandate for any President in our history.

[David Quinn @DavQuinn]

As I said on RTE earlier, there is no mass voter movement in favour of Catherine Connolly. The vast majority of voters stayed at home or spoilt their ballot. #aras2025

So, just to sum up the state of Sinn Fein today. They won't go to the White House because of Gaza, but they want to Micheál Martin bring it up instead.
Otherwise known as the "having your cake and eating it school of politics."

@DarraghOBrienTD @fiannafailparty @Dept_ECC @Dept_Transport @ZEVIreland Can you please get something done about the issues with broadband! Currently nearly 5 weeks with no WiFi due to the storm and no date being given about its return. Sky blaming SIRO and SIRO won’t deal with any queries. This is supposed to be a modern economy!!!!!! It’s a disgrace
