RT @caulmick: Sublime. Fine Gael backbenchers are rattle as Harris leaves Burke to take LQs 👏

Simon Harris resorted to "utterly deplorable…

[Mick Caul @caulmick]

Any wonder he left Peter Burke to take Leaders' Questions this afternoon.

Answer the questions @SimonHarrisTD

Simon Harris recently criticised jobseekers and NGOs.

But now the Tánaiste and his parents refuse to answer questions about whether the Harrises were eligible for a state-backed housing scheme that saw their €600,000 home sold and leased back to them after they’d accumulated mortgage arrears.

Simon Harris recently came under fire after telling his Fine Gael party colleagues, “We need to have a much closer look at what’s happening with public money when it goes out to organisations that are not the government.”

He also said, “The dole is a safety net, not a way of life.”

@Rail_splitter1 @DanielLDavis1 Did or does it say in it's constitution that it was prohibited from joining NATO?

[Daniel Davis Deep Dive @DanielLDavis1]

No, of course Putin wanted war. That’s all he’s ever wanted – I mean, the 2022 war in Ukraine couldn’t have had anything to do with the *six rounds* of advancement of the NATO military alliance closer and closer to Russia’s border, against their every warning not to do it — and even more obviously, nothing to do with the growing NATO military cooperation *inside Ukraine’s borders,* training their troops, giving them weapons for years prior to that war.

Definitely couldn’t have anything to do with any of that. No, Mr. McFaul, you’re right: we’re all victims, totally innocent, and only those evil Russians are to blame for everything. 😑

This stuff is nonsense
An inversion of reality

Do these people hear themselves?

@rtenews Didn't Kaja Kallas say in Tallinn in 2024 that Russia should be broken into smaller states?
How can Europe be at the table?

State Apology before Christmas for @ThalidomideIre

Sorry seems to be the hardest word!

Why cant the Government organise a State apology for people affected by the drug, thalidomide?

Why do citizens, badly failed by the State have to constantly fight & battle even for the simplest of compassions.

The Taoiseach said here on Morning Ireland that he is committed to the apology, to me, his priorities are elsewhere.

#StateApology

[ZazaFL @ZazaFL]

Micheál Martin on Morning Ireland saying the Israeli government is oblivious to what Europe says on Gaza, OF COURSE, that's because the EU and Ireland refuse to impose any sanctions on the apartheid state. Sickening listening to these bullshit excuses year after year.

@MichealLehane If RTE had a euro for every time Michael, Harris or McEntee made empty statements like this, you'd be well on your way to recouping the €20 million Patrick O Donovan left you short.

Current EU Rules require Ukrainians seeking temporary protection in Europe to have satisfied their military obligations or have an exemption.

Does Zelensky want people who have not met their obligations to be sent home from the EU and Ireland to be consubscripted?

They have changed their name to Fridays for Genocide and are more concerned with supporting the Zionist Nazi regime.
