@MacConRaoi7 @Seamy641863 This women knows what she is doing. Her Make up is always perfect. Turns up at popular locations to get videos taken of her. Don’t be fooled by some of these people trying to claim they are mentally ill. She’s a scammer

One of the biggest developments in Dublin as in Irish Glass bottle site is building 3500 Homes. If they put 4 of these people in each apartment there still won’t be enough. But immigration has no impact on the housing crisis. A whole site occupied in one years applicants from one country.

@Mick_O_Keeffe When the middle class start getting squeezed by this. Then they might listen. Reactive politics and what they say then won’t be racist it will be concern

@Koba_the_great @TonightVMTV @GerHerbert1 I think you’ll find you can’t buy any new car for Cash. No car Dealer will accept cash. And anything over €10k will not be accepted. So if what you claim is true 🤥. It is not normal.

@Koba_the_great @TonightVMTV @GerHerbert1 I think you’ll find it’s people with money drive around in older cars. Anyone with a new car are BIK or keeping up with the Jones’s on HP or a loan.

This is incorrect and defamatory.

1. Used 16 prominent self-identifying Antifa accounts as seed accounts gathering their follows and followers.
2. I then used social network mapping software - industry standard at the time, Gephi - to apply a K-core decomposition model which resulted in a network of 962 highly connected accounts for analysis.
3. I then applied various centrality (degree, eigenvector) measures to identify various networks and prominent individuals within the stable core of 962.
4 I then applied linguistic/text analysis of bios & posts of those in the core to classify: Cognitive and Violent extremists.

My methodology was both groundbreaking as it took methods applied in research on far-right and Islamic terror networks and applied it to Antifa, and was in line with methodological best practice at that time.

The research passed double blind peer review and was published in Social Network Analysis and Mining (2022).

You have both mischaracterised and dismissed my research and I now expect you to retract this and apologise. You hold a position in a publicly-funded NGO dealing with extremism but have not produced a comparative academic paper to mine, yet you have diminished mine. Your credibility in your role is now on the line. Retract and apologise.

The audacity here is actually off the charts.

Return is a “Not-for-profit” funded by the public. They made €100m in year one.

This money stays on their balance sheet. It doesn’t go back to the State.

But €100m isn’t enough. They wanted tax exemptions too.

So using your money they hired a Fine Gael councillor to go and lobby his Fine Gael colleague who was Minister for State.

Both the councillor & Minister also paid entirely by you.

Throughout this chain of events Not a single extra euro in value was generated for the State.

No innovation,
No entrepreneurship
Just leeching & looting of the taxpayer.

Does anyone care ???

[Nick Delehanty 🇮🇪 @Nick_Delehanty]

Re-Turn is the scam that keeps on scamming.

Fine Gael councillor was hired by Re-Turn to lobby a Fine Gael Minister to remove 23% VAT on the unclaimed bottles!!

The councillor previously worked for the PR company Teneo whose client is ReTurn.

ReTurn is sitting on €100m after just one year but they’re still not happy. They wanted tax exemptions on top.

A humiliation gravy train.

@albertdolan_ It’s half the distance.

[Elaine Mullally ☘️ @mullallyelaine]

Where are the left leaning politicians on the tragic and horrific murder of this man, Alexander Coughlan? Why no vigil? Why no NGO’s out protesting? Where is the media’s constant outrage against his death?

The reason he is not getting the same publicity and public outrage is because he was a white man, we are living in a country that is incredibly racist against its very own people! Lots of people can see the double standards and hypocrisy a mile off, let’s keep highlighting it!

🔴Last night I called out Government for prioritising asylum seekers over Irish citizens when it comes to housing many of whom are bogus and have come in to our country with no ID or papers.. having destroyed their passports and having brazenly come from safe countries

@KevinPosobiec It’s amazing the way the MC knew exactly where she was. It’s like as if it was a a fix.

Opinion

This company lobbied the most senior politicians and civil servants in Ireland.

Did no one ask the obvious question:
“How is this being financed?" or "Who is making money?”

Or worse, did they know about the offshore structure and wave it through anyway?

This company is now competing directly against Irish first-time buyers, snapping up homes in commuter towns across the midlands....using State money, an offshore tax structure to house asylum seekers.

In under two years, they’ve built a private residential portfolio now worth €7.5 million....There are no obvious limits stopping this company getting to a portfolio of €100 million.

Yes, ending Direct Provision is a legitimate goal. But we are living in fantasy land if we think this type of own-door scheme can scale.

And let’s be honest:
If these people truly had a social conscience, they wouldn’t be routing millions through the Isle of Man to dodge Irish tax on grotesque profits made from State-funded housing.

This is a hill I will die on.

Life expectancy measures wealth and demographics, not health infrastructure which is in here. Ireland has the highest bed occupancy in the OECD, 43% fewer beds than the EU average, 900,000 on waiting lists, and 75% of GP lists closed to new patients. Education attainment is high yes, but 35,000 of those graduates emigrated last year because they can't afford to live here. The graph measures what the state builds and delivers, not outcomes that succeed despite it.

[Sinéad O’Sullivan @SineadOS1]

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

. @SimonHarrisTD, I can share my journey with cancer, starting from my diagnosis at 13 years old. I can share how I was failed & why I will die prematurely due to a lack of proper care. Do you care? I don’t think so. Trying to raise concern now isn't genuine, it’s shameful

A new cohort of Irish people - farmers and hauliers - are finding out what the people of Newtownmountkennedy, Coolock and Clonmel found out two years ago...

The days of the country guard are gone. The modern garda is not your friend. They are the enforcement arm of the state and they will do it with fervour.

They will do very little when you need them on a Saturday night after an assault outside a chip shop, or when travellers come to strip the gutters off your house or when drug dealers set your vehicles on fire to intimidate you into settling a family member's drug debt.

But they will beat the sh*t out of you when you go against the authoritarian actions of the state.

Important to internalise.
