@LewisJonathanE@SenateForeign I'm Irish, I live in Ireland, I have jewish friends and they and I and most other people here are against the illegal occupation of Palestinian land. Irish people don't hate Jews, they hate the displacement of people and and the theft of their land. We are for a 2 state solution.
@killer_noodle@bjgunner This is so dumb. In most parts of the world local people run in local elections, anyone who lives in an area no matter their background can run.... you haven't a bean of a clue about the world do you?
@mad4it2@bjgunner Have you ever lived outside of Ireland? It's totally normal for local people, where-ever they may be from, to run in LOCAL elections. The amount of ignorance people are happy to show on twitter is mental.
@murrirl@TimothyDonlon @TullMcAdoo We make the distinction. But don't forget Ireland would still be colony if it wasn't for violent resistance and Israel are the terrorists with the 20x bodycount.
@PeligrosoFitz @aldaman07@paulmurphy_TD To be fair Ireland likely has a history of horse racing going back to the time of Ghengis Kahn and there are records of horse worship written in some of the earliest record of outside visitors to the country.
Also there are 6000 reg’d racehorse breeders in the country.
@paulmurphy_TD Racing is worth about €1.8bn to the economy. It is not only millionaires who work in and benefit from racing, there are 29,000 people working jobs directly related to horse racing in Ireland. The €50m is tax raised by racing. I’m often with you PM but you’re wrong on this.
@hellenataylor Why are people piling on this woman. She was offered shit money for something she had invested time in that should have been understood by the longtime client. She. Is. Right.
Nitpicking her numbers, fucking eyeroll.
