@everambr_dan @paulmurphy_TD @collision Using huge chunks of money to influence politics and public opinion is blatantly undemocratic

@collision The least relevant commentary on any issue that affects the public is that of the billionaire. They have so little in common with everyone else, they are so cosseted & live in such a bubble that they have no context with which to consider the world that the rest of us live in.

[Dublin Civic Trust @dubcivictrust]

@Keyes Wholly incorrect. All five apartments have balconies or terraces. All units are multiple aspect – apparently triple aspect – and range in size 140m²-200 m². Precisely the type of urban homes that are not built under Dublin’s current race-to-the-bottom standards reductions.

@Keyes @dubcivictrust That retort makes no sense, you're previous post was nonsense misinformation.

Just when smart cities all over the world are moving away from the car, Galway is going all in, becoming more like a Texan city, wrapped in a shawl of roadside retail parks, paved parking lots and long-distance commutes.

Consultants to oversee RTÉ Late Late Toy Show appeal funds spending set to cost €855,000 -✍️ Gordon Deegan

An estimated €855,000 is to be spent over the next five years on consultants to assist RTÉ with the distribution of the millions of euro generated by the annual Late Late Toy Show appeal.

A spokesman for RTE said the tender was a three-year contract, with an option for a further two. The fee quoted was the cumulative total estimated over that period.

Opening up my first email of the day and it’s confirmation from the HSE that a little four year old boy who has very defined needs after assessment will be given his first OT appointment in June 2030!!!

Protestors' leader John Dallon has convictions for drunk driving and refusing to give breath sample:
"While waiting to give a breath sample Dallon attempted to put his fingers down his throat as if he was trying to make himself sick".

So people are supporting James Geoghegan because they believe he's doing what he's doing out of concern for all Irish people.
A man who refused to pay his taxes and was convicted of despicable acts of cruelty to animals is who they choose to follow!

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

I would encourage those struggling with fuel costs and with sincere grievances to look through this man's social media accounts before platforming him or getting behind him as any sort of spokesperson.

[David W. Higgins @higginsdavidw]

Some crucial observations by @gavreilly. A shame he isn't on this platform anymore.

[Dave Ahern @CorkGourmetGuy]

If a single person dies because an emergency vehicle couldn't get to them, or get them to where they could get help, every single person responsible for these blockades should be held accountable
They care only about themselves & are happy to fuck over everyone else

[The Irish Politics Newsletter @TullMcAdoo]

When the leader of your protest is a tax-dodging farmer who neglects his animals, you probably should find another figurehead.
"convicted of cruelty after 60 cattle died on farm".

@kevintoconnor I'm sorry now but if your man wants to put himself up as a spokesperson of 'the people' his integrity is absolutely relevant

[Séamus Kearney @SeamusjKearney]

"The protestors in the city centre were “splintering out” with two or three people blocking off certain junctions not allowing buses through"

Deliberately targeting buses like this is disgraceful. This isn't protest, it's thuggery.
