@BarryAndrewsMEP @BerryCathal @MichealMartinTD @fiannafailparty We should combine a referendum to increase the number of ministers to 18 with one to raise the number of citizens per TD.

@TadhgHickey @CelticFC With Tehran in your name, your loyalties are obvious. You’re against the democracies. You’ll need another team so for next season.

@OMathuna89 Any pressure from Brussels, it’s from the EU, of which we are a member and of which we are about to be President. I support the EU and its defence against Putin, who is a real and present danger. 🇮🇪 🇪🇺

@sidestreamnews ‘Unvetted people’! You mean like the Irish who went all over the world and helped the economies everywhere we went. So it’s not ‘crazy’, it’s the bleeding obvious. 🙄

@eoin_murchu That community is not ‘ignored’, it has had many many millions of euro spent on it in recent years. But the problems are entrenched, complex, multi-generational and extremely hard to address. And some people in the community resist help.

For the grieving family of the young man stabbed to death on Grafton Street on Sunday night … you can support by donating or sharing – every few euro makes a difference.

@BobSmithWalker A ‘Zionist manager’. You mean he suppprts the idea of a Jewish state? This is Irish, British and EU policy.

@derryjournal How to present very good news as bad news! Reflects a chip on the shoulder … Dublin-Belfast would have much higher traffic surely.

@tommymain1 They shouldn’t have eaten in solidarity?

@JasonSymes4 Sorry, what’s your point?

Denmark leaves old Nordic social model behind. Corporation tax 19%. Taxes on high earners cut. One implication is more pressure on Irish model. All parties here need to commit to NO tax rises. @sinnfeinireland

New Danish government to cut corporate tax https://t.co/TGv9c9dhKx

Teenage pregnancy shock! The number of babies born to teenage mothers in Ireland has fallen to a record low. Only 551 babies were born to mothers aged 15-19 last year. That's 83% fewer than the peak in 1999. Better sex education and contraceptive availability worked wonders. 🇮🇪🤰

@ravenmargo1 If you prioritise ideology over free speech and good football, then off you trot. 👋

@celtic_ma1888 He has different views to you Teresa. That’s all. He is fully entitled to them. We live in a democracy, you know? This is what it means. And if you think Robbie is ‘the worst of Irish men’, I can assure you there are many many worse, on many fronts.
