This raises serious questions about editorial independency.

Ireland's entire mainstream media landscape is being propped up by Govt.

Whether its current affairs or light entertainment, the Irish Govt are involved.

This is not good.

@Toibin1 @Toibin1 the voice of reason 🙏. Anything else is soon by government.

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

@OCallaghanJim @WatchdogTh96012 You’re gaslighting us😡. A drop in the ocean given weekly arrivals. How much did that PR stint cost the Irish taxpayer?

@SuzieD755164 @Jklunden https://t.co/gyVqT9ZCNZ - we all need to sign this

I am sorry, but the #EUMigrationPact does not make sense, does not represent a good policy, & will not lead to improved quality of migration. I say this as a strong believer in benefits of well-run, integration-centric migration (which does not currently exist in real policy).

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

@irishexaminer You mean that wasn’t already? Who in the name of God is running this country?

[Irish Mammy Warrior @Eire4Christ]

My son started his Leaving Cert today. Like every parent, I wish him and every student the very best.

But no matter how well he does, he's already planning to leave Ireland.

His brothers have gone before him.
Think about that for a moment.

Three Irish sons, forced to build their futures on the other side of the world while politicians congratulate themselves and tell us everything is fine.

It is not fine.

What is the point of encouraging our children to study hard, work hard, and achieve their dreams if they have to leave their own country to have any chance of a decent future?

Ireland is losing its young people. We are losing our sons and daughters.

I oppose the EU Migration Pact and I believe the Irish people should be given a referendum. Let the people decide the future of their country.

Good luck to every Leaving Cert student today. You deserve more than a certificate. You deserve the chance to build a life in the country of your birth.

@nwl88444048 @Jklunden Oh ffs 🤦‍♀️ give me strength!

[Declan Ganley @declanganley]

Dan O’Brien is absolutely right. Ireland’s hard-working families and businesses are being hammered by crisis-era taxes that were never unwound, even as revenues have tripled and the public payroll and social spending have exploded by tens of billions with precious little to show for it in services or value for money.
This is fiscal madness dressed up as “fairness.” It’s time we, who are gouged for it, stopped accepting it. We must fight, and fight hard, for serious, structural tax cuts in Ireland now; lower rates, real reform, and an end to the tax-and-spend culture that is holding Ireland back. Enough is enough.

[MakingSense @MakingSenseInfo]

@HMcEntee Not a loan.
When will it be ‘repaid’?

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

@FineGael Your actions show no such evidence of real financial pressure experienced by those who pay your salaries…..

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

@fiannafailparty Let them eat cake ! Do you really think that will make any real difference- maybe some fiscal rectitude on the billions you are throwing away on pet projects rather than to the SMEs in this country that pay your salaries!

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

@eoinneylon Maybe a bit of fiscal prudence should be called for! Our spending has gone off the charts over the last 10-12 years with nothing to show for it!

[Hugh @jubbyjub7]

@fiannafailparty We have had enough. We are done sucking it up. This government has ignored the people on nearly every issue thats important to them. No more, we elect you to work for us, and we are done with you.

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

When the businesspeople of Ireland are ignored ( no response from govt) how else do you expect them to react. The government are our public servants- not our masters ! #TonightVMTV

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

Here we go - Shane on immediate attack! Let him speak #TonightVMTV

[HSE Covid Consultant @CovidHse]

@FergalBowers @rtenews The hearing was fatally flawed by 3 false assumptions:
1. Lockdowns controlled transmission. They did not.
2. Masking healthy people controlled transmission. It did not.
3. Covid vaccines were safe & effective. They were neither.

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

@thejournal_ie I listened to his interview- he speaks what a lot of us think. He’s a 100% correct- like him or loathe him, he gets things done, he pays his taxes in Ireland ( unlike many others Irish billionaires!) and calls out the govt for their incompetence. Truth hurts sometimes 🤗

[L Kerrigan @kerrigan1710]

💯- are we no longer a sovereign nation?

[Ita O'Kelly @ItaOKelly]

@CWeston_Indo Is the @EUCouncil @vonderleyen the sole decider of Government policy for Ireland now?
I was under the impression that we had a national parliament and an elected government on this island, to determine and implement policy independently…
