For the first time in a decade the Irish state has refused more Palestinian visa applications than it granted – while Israelis continue to benefit from visa-free travel to Ireland.
The refusal rate for Palestinian applicants has quadrupled since 2023.

To all the Supermarkets and big commercial stores that operate 'Self Check-outs'....
You are heading towards almost exclusively self-checkout now. Yesterday I went shopping at one such store and the lady checking receipts at the exit was stopping everyone.
I didn't choose to participate in that nonsense, I had already filled my trolly, emptied my trolly and scanned the items, refilled my trolly, and so I just skipped the exit line and left.
I heard her saying "Umm - Excuse me “ as I kept walking and raised the receipt above my head, leaving the store.
You can either trust me to do self-checkout, or you can put your cashiers back in place like it used to be.
• I'm not interested in proving that I did your job for you.
• If you want me to be a cashier with no training then that's your problem not mine.
• Keep employing young people and give them job opportunities.
YOU DON'T PAY ME TO SCAN MY OWN SHOPPING.
YOU DON’T GIVE ME STAFF DISCOUNT FOR WORKING FOR YOU.
Signed…
All of us
Profits be for people…

You know, I don't expect much decency (none, really) from the jackass napping and farting in the Oval Office.
But there are HUNDREDS of Republicans in Congress now, many of whom call themselves Christ-loving Christians, who should be ASHAMED sitting in silence as trump attacks Biden in what could be his final days.
Hunter described his Dad as being in great pain as he battles the cancer that has "metastasized into his bones."
For f*cks sake, where is your decency???
Have you lost no one to cancer?
Is this what Jesus would do?
I don't even blame trump, because his brain is mush and he doesn't know if he's shitting or eating.
But I blame the people around him, so-called "trusted-advisors" and members of Congress. You all are shitty, cowardly scumbags.
Unlike trump, you KNOW the difference between right and wrong, and you sit there in captive silence to wrong 10 out of 10 times.
I don't expect you to slap him upside his stupid rotted pumpkin head, but at the very least stop acting like he'll disintegrate if you criticize his behavior.
We know you've all been programmed to blame everything under the sun on Biden, and that's unfortunate because he accomplished WAY more as President than trump could in 10 terms.
But can you just leave him the f*ck ALONE while the man is suffering extreme pain from cancer????
Rediscover what the hell it felt like to have a moral bone in your diseased bodies, to have a goddamn spine, and start acting like it.
The man gave up 47 years of his life in service to the public, he deserves better than this.
Here's the psychological trick authoritarian politics depends on:
Make you exhausted.
Make outrage constant.
Make corruption boring.
Make cruelty routine.
Make you believe resistance is pointless.
That's why refusing to become numb matters.
Your exhaustion is part of the strategy.
Take a deep breath, keep your fists in the air. Times will get better, as soon as these parasites are removed from office.
Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.
They are sucking hundreds of millions from the economy, causing hassle and hardship for people.
Re-turn must be shut down for good.
The Re-Turn scheme is emblematic of all that is wrong with the governance of Ireland. It doesn’t solve a real problem, it imposes costs on the general population and it enriches those who can’t even get the machines to work consistently.
Stop putting your bottles in the recycling bin. ♻️
We'll charge you 15 cent per bottle instead which you can recoup if you drive to a shop and put them in a different bin, which may or may not even function properly when you get there.
This is to save the environment.
It has nothing to do with private profiteering.
Two stories, same day.
This is what you get by running a state owned electricity company on a commercial basis.
We need to renationalise the energy sector and run ESB on a not for profit basis prioritising access to electricity for everybody and rapid transition to renewables.
We got an ESB bill today for 2 summer months that was higher than our bill for the winter months 2 years ago. Bills have doubled over two years and the Govt does fuck all.
With Netanyahu's visit to the White House today, a reminder: US authorities should respect human rights and the rule of law. PM Netanyahu should be arrested and tried by the International Criminal Court.

People we need to share this statement its basically about PROFIT to the stores AND putting People out of a JOB....!!!
I continue to follow with deep concern the ongoing and escalating violence in the #HolyLand, where, in recent days, many civilians, both in the West Bank and in Gaza, have once again fallen victim. I make a heartfelt appeal for a return to negotiations to achieve a just political solution, founded on the equal dignity and equal rights of every human person. At the same time, I urge the rejection of further military actions and unilateral decisions, especially those that violate the respect for and the status quo of the holy places of every religion.
Imagine death penalty for Christians only, for Jews only, for Bavarians or Parisians only. People belonging to a group presumed guilty and deprived of civilians status.
Only because they want to live as a people. Free on their land.
This is what colonial repression looks like.
Ben Gvir is posting videos showing off the execution chamber where he will exterminate thousands of Palestinian hostages.
Imagine if Hitler broadcast videos of his gas chambers to gloat like this.
