@alemannoEU What would you like our Minister to do differently? What do you mean by the EU’s “general interest”? And how, in practical terms, can Europe reduce its US digital dependency? I support the EU project, but your argument strikes me as ideology rather than practical policy.

@danobrien20 💯 The dog on the street knows Aughinish is a key enabler of 🇷🇺 industrial supply chain. As 🇺🇦 burns, @MichealMartinTD cites local jobs. @SimonHarrisTD hides behind “investigation” and Brussels. Parish-pump politics before principle. Distasteful & damaging to 🇮🇪 Intl standing.

[Lorcan Rossi @lorcanrossi]

Harris knows Aughinish has been a key enabler of Russia’s industrial supply chain. Now he hides behind EU, positioning Brussels to take the blame for closure and job losses. Parish-pump politics at its finest. @SimonHarrisTD @ZelenskyyUa @Tsahkna @OCCRP

@rtenews @seanwhelanRTE Six children on life support in a fortnight and RTÉ, politicians and Gardaí respond with self-serving pontification. Under-16s are already banned from using e-scooters. Prosecute the parents or guardians who allow it. Enforce the bloody law. @rtenews @OCallaghanJim

@danobrien20 Of course you’ll get that result when your culture is dog eat dog. I actually believe in capitalism and rewarding hard work, but not in building wealth by standing upon fellow citizens. Success should create prosperity for everyone, not just a few. Otherwise, what’s the point?

[Lorcan Rossi @lorcanrossi]

@danobrien20 ….the economy has never been stronger; yet those funding it feel squeezed dry. Punitive taxes and out of control public spending are eroding incentives, not sharing prosperity. Growth means little if those actually creating it see less and less of the reward.

@Peston Enough Peston, give it a rest. We can speculate were your loyalty lies but it’s not in 🇬🇧 best interest & that’s from an Irishman. You are a political journalist, conduct yourself accordingly.

@danobrien20 Parish pump politics in a post industrial economy…

[Lorcan Rossi @lorcanrossi]

@IFAmedia @Bordbia @OireachtasNews Agri-food employs ~6% of Ireland’s workforce. Yet policy still behaves like the other 94% don’t exist. Parish-pump politics in a post-industrial economy!

[Lorcan Rossi @lorcanrossi]

@danobrien20 Agree in principle that during Trump 2.O, one should keep one’s counsel, that said, the regime is now becoming predictable & is clearly constrained by the financial markets so why not poke the “bear”?!

@DanMulhall Form over substance is not credible. The game has moved to another board. 🇺🇦 is a proxy competition, not a standalone event, the outcome will shape 🇪🇺’s ability to “feed, fuel & defend” itself. Saying the EU can’t do more isn’t realism.Munich ’38 is alive—and we’ll pay for it.

[Lorcan Rossi @lorcanrossi]

@danobrien20 Carney captured the zeitgeist succinctly “A country that cannot feed itself, fuel itself, or defend itself has few options” - Ireland more or less. Our political class, of all hues , are way out of their depth given the pace of change.

@rtenews ..Replacement already appointed, announced “Xmas eve”, 5 of the 12 Board members will depart by end of January, Board accepted decision of “sub committee” of which Chairman not a member & grounded upon unsubstantiated allegations ?! Ex parte injunction incoming!

[Lorcan Rossi @lorcanrossi]

@eoinyk Now that’s what I call self confidence, gaslighting a nation.

The headline begs the question, what’s the current % of healthcare staff who actually work weekends?!

“HSE chief wants up to 10% of healthcare staff rostered over weekends by end of June”

@PaulSommerville Public expenditure +50% in 5 years. €1 in €8 of tax revenues from x8 multinationals; a third of workers don’t pay income tax. Infrastructure wholly sub standard & no defense capability but let’s just blame the bogeyman in Washington for all our impending woes?!

@jasonomahony We 🇮🇪 will never learn; public expenditure +50% in 5 years. €1 in €8 of tax revenues from x8 multinationals; a third of workers don’t pay income tax. Infrastructure sub standard & no national defense capability….What could possibly go wrong?!
