Where is @PresidentIRL
Where is @MaryLouMcDonald
Where is @HollyCairnsTD
Where is Christy Moore
Where is Bono
Where is Imelda May
Where are all those who claim to be for the ordinary people....this will not forgotten
The government has decided to pepper spray citizens before speaking to them.
This government is fuelling discontent rather than reducing tensions.
The opposition should call a motion of no confidence in this government.
As AGS riot squad move into Galway port vs the entirely peaceful #FuelProtest. This is a large group of farmers, people from across the scope of ordinary Irish working people and small business owners, trades etc. This is not a ‘riot’ type of crowd. There is deep and fast flowing sea water all around here, and it’s dark, especially under the bridge and along the dock walls. Anything that starts to kettle or push people here could end up in a bad situation. Has anyone thought to deploy and have the lifeboat or Garda ribs on the water in case? Putting the riot squad into that space was pretty irresponsible.
Fastway closing is leaving the retail online sector in Ireland with a massive problem before Christmas! Anyone thinking of moving to @dpdireland they are refusing to take on new customers atm as the peak season is approaching…
No funding.
No posters across the country.
No promo cards in every mailbox.
Barely a moment on mainstream media.
Every single vote that was spoiled came without any of that.
Massive respect to everyone involved. You should be proud.
Today @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD should apologise to the Irish people for this embarrassing shit show of #PresidentialElection
Both of them conspired together with others looking at @SenatorMcDowell to block any other reasonable moderate candidates from standing for election.
Now we have a socialist woman born in the 1950s representing ‘modern Ireland’ as Head of State.
There is nothing the 3 musketeers and the MSM like more than to patronise the voters by telling anyone who will listen how progressive, forward thinking, youthful and ‘modern’ Ireland is.
And now we will have a president who is 68 and probably remembers when TV was black and white. She represents an economic dogma that has failed the working and middle classes in every single country it was ever tired.
And yet, like the vampire that it is socialism always seems to come back to life no matter how many times you try to stab in the heart.
Our new President is hostile to our nearest neighbours Britain, on whom our security relies on. She is hostile to the United States, on which much of our economic security relies on. She seem neutral on the EU, which the government says our future relies upon. She is extremely hostile to Israel, which if you want to boycott you’d you have to throw out half the stuff, oh so modern Ireland loves to have, out of your house.
If either of those two @MichealMartinTD or @SimonHarrisTD had any sense of decency or dignity they would apologise today for this shambles.
Thankfully the president has little power but the position is supposed to represent the best of Ireland.
If Catherine Connolly is the best of Ireland we have a lot of work to do.
