@VirginMediaNews Can we get the Austria game out of the way first before the propaganda campaign starts. We were poor v Kosovo for this exact same reason.
If you were a #StopTheGame mouthpiece, then shut your mouth about beating Israel when our boys do it, you don't get to celebrate the victory of our boys after the abuse you threw at them #COYBIG
A reminder that Ed Sheeran's crime here is not "having the wrong opinion". His crime is not expressing a view that he may, or may not, hold. What he actually believes is of secondary concern.
We're now into the world of compelled speech. Which ironically means that the next time you hear a musician bleating about Gaza, they may well be only doing it to save their own skin.
Actual conviction no longer matters: You just say the line.
Speaking as a licensed marriage and family therapist with a masters degree in psychology and over a decade of experience in suicide prevention: I absolutely detest the “suicide prevention awareness” push in schools. It doesn’t accomplish what it purports to. It plants the idea of suicide in some impressionable youth, and makes others feel responsible for their peers’ mental health. Wrong on all fronts.
@IrishmanIRL Of the 7 murdered women listed on the Women's Aid website, one is by an unknown suspect, one is by two females and 5 are by immigrants.
No Irish man is a suspect in a murder of a woman in Ireland this year. These are the facts. Important to keep repeating them.
Our over 35’s goals from last night’s game with a hat-trick from Anto Flood and a game winning penalty save from goalkeeper Will Wylie in the 90th minute ⚽️👏❤️ #KDFC
@Ben_Scallan Never happen but it did it would be a short lived coalition, the only thing the left hate more than the right is other leftists. In this case diversity is definitely not their strength.
@chris_sutton73 Ireland v England in landsdowne 1995. The abandoned game. Atmosphere pre kick off was electric. I was 18 and on the south terrace which must've held about 12 thousand & remember thinking how amazing it would be if we had this kind of crowd and atmosphere at domestic lge games
Apart from 12 years while living abroad I’ve been paying taxes in Ireland since I was 16 in a part time job.
I served my time as an apprentice toolmaker at 18, qualified at 22, and emigrated at 24. I put myself through an engineering degree in Sweden while working as a toolmaker, set up as an engineering contractor when I moved home and have been paying massive taxes ever since, both as self-employed and later while working for various companies.
I never claimed the dole or any other social welfare payment until my cancer diagnosis when I claimed illness benefit of €244 (now €254) per week.
@welfare_ie under @daracalleary are fully aware that I’m undergoing chemotherapy for an incurable cancer and they’re in possession of detailed medical records and certificates from my doctor and my oncology team, yet they took it upon themselves to investigate me and have me prove to them that I’m unable to work and that I’m entitled to a measley €254 in illness benefit. Pics of the demands below.
This has, no doubt, been farmed out to a private company who are now privy to my private medical information, too. Not satisfied with what I’ve already provided, they demanded to know not just my current occupation, but all previous ones, along with why I’m unable to work, amongst other things. Let’s just say there were a few choice and capitalised words used in my responses.
Now, I’m in a good place mentally and physically despite my diagnosis and I’m well able to deal with them, but consider those worse off than me, or literally on their deathbeds, and these bastards are stressing and harassing them for a pittance.
These politicians need a sharp reminder of who they work for and who pays their bloated salaries and extortionate expenses.
We need a full clear out of the Dáil and to build a society that takes care of their sick and elderly the way they should be taken care of. They’ve squandered €1 trillion over the last decade, we’ve got nothing to show for it, but they’ll still harass sick people for pennies.
They absolutely disgust me.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
