Climate change is the real threat to Ireland's security. We haven't invested enough to mitigate against this & adapt to a new climate. Instead politicians & the media are feeding us immaginary threats that involve transferring huge amounts of money to the arms industry
The upshot of this down the line is Ireland will get drawn into a military 'adventure' at the behest of a belligerent & declining US empire. Anyone who objects will be screamed at that they are putting jobs at risk. Remember these people refused to take a stand against genocide
If squatters take over a derelict building the guards come around with batons because 'private property' but when crimes are committed against wildlife nothing happens because capitalism assigns no value to them
🥳 We absolutely love to see it! Eurovision viewing figures *plummet* by 35 million due to the five countries boycotting and so so many viewers saying no to the artwashing of apartheid Israel's genocide of Palestinians. Don't stop until the EBU expels Israel. #BoycottEurovision
Ireland has the highest electricity prices in the EU. 319,000 homes in arrears. A fifth of the grid feeding data centres that run 24/7. And a government that insists, straight-faced, that none of this is related.
Denial isn’t a policy.
The Business Post is still platforming scutter like this from Creighton without informing readers that she works for a pro-Israel 'think tank'. Zero ethics from the BP but you wouldn't expect any better from them
It's amazing how many people are still unaware GRIFT Media is owned & run by the Mathuna family - also known as Youth Defence (remember them? - they have since rebranded as the Life 'Institute'). They are the daughters of the infamous bigot Úna Bean Mhic Mhathúna 1/2
What was this event in London attended by GRIFT? Who were they meeting- Faragists? Anti-choice lobby donors? Remember GRIFT donated €€€ to the European Conservatives & Reformists party. We need investigative journalism into GRIFT's (i.e. The Life Institute) foreign activities
Dear @rtenews - your article is incorrect.
Up until the early 2000s, Ireland had some of the cheapest household electricity prices in Europe. Because the ESB (Electricity Supply Board) operated with a not-for-profit mandate as a public good, Irish consumers paid up to 18% below the EU average.

Positive mood today at the Anne Devlin Community Centre. The owner has been trying to send in guards and private security to stop a place that’s been abandoned for 16 years from being used for the Liberties local community. Don’t let him do it quietly https://t.co/Naz0Olf4Im
Journalists covering the latest intervention by Blair and his “Institute for Global Change” really ought to mention who its financial backers are, as a matter of basic transparency. Big tech, corporate finance, AI, and a wild variety of blood-soaked autocrats and head-choppers.
Took a train journey today. The train was 30 minutes late. The train on the return journey is 40 minutes late. The public transport system is at capacity, running on fumes & lip service. The investment hasn't been made & as far as the govt. is concerned, it's get a car or F you
Ireland should have been the first EU country to bring in this very smallest measure of sanction against Israel. If it was up to the Irish people we would have been. But Fianna Fail / Fine Gael were too afraid of upsetting the Yanks.
I never want to hear econ or math folks talk smack about the 'soft' sciences like anthropology. Your professors are literally out there defining the scientific method as the citation of research without reading it.
@DanielEstrin No host country can be allowed to weaponize its position against the very institution it hosts. May the UN General Assembly stand firmly behind its core values. If the abuses continue, the UNGA should seriously consider meeting elsewhere, including Geneva.
