I could make a full-time job of correcting this guy. REPORTED crime is down because business owners have given up reporting shoplifting etc. Serious crimes such as sexual offences are WAY up.
And if you don't police our roads properly then you won't record joyriders etc.
@NewstalkFM So it is ok to increase the salaries of the likes of the head of Uisce eireann, or spend 100s of thousands on NGOs locally and internationally but yet cannot find the means nor the will to fund life saving drugs. What happened to our nation that valued life? #Aontu#AontuCork
In the same week we see 21 pay hikes from the Government e.g. CEO Uisce Eireann Niall Gleeson rise of €118.000 now on €395.953. Galling that they can find money when they want #Aontu#Aontucork#simonharris#MichaelMartinTD
Craig Coady who has already lost one son to Friedrich’s ataxia and has another suffering son with the disease spoke to Neil.
Cyprus, Italy, Latvia, Spain, Portugal, Luxembourg, Germany and France in the EU all fund medication tablets to treat this disease. Yet, Ireland does not deem it to be value for money.
Please give this a listen and use your social media platforms to put some pressure on gov to take real action here.
Also fair play to TikToker MillennialDad for using his large platform to raise this.

The reaction to this has been enormous
My inbox has never been more full
I do this in my spare time, like all of you.
We are volunteers
The National Women's Council has an annual budget of €1.6million, most of which is spent on an army of staff.
They control a network of 200 other NGOs which have combined funding of €20million++
They are the largest NGO lobbying group in the State by number of returns.
How can we seriously expect to compete with this?
We can't unless we get organised.
We need funding
We need structure
We need people on payroll
Its time to level up.
Stay tuned...
I asked a SF TD why SF supported the gov in the recent referendums.
He said, they did not want to go aganist the NGOs.
Roderic O'Gorman had earlier theatened the NGOs, who he funded, that they better support the gov.
This is how the bubble works. No one thinking for themselves
923 babies died at Bessborough. The State knows where 64 are buried.
No radar. No excavations. Nobody looked properly.
At Tuam they did - 99 sets of remains found.
We cannot undo what was done here, but we shouldn't bury it under concrete. #bessborough
@paulmurphy_TD Where was the mass protests when the Chinese delegation arrived in Ireland?? You simply dont like Trump, nothing about human rights or democracy etc...it is all about the left's obsession with Trump!
@Berlinnaeus@LifeOfBOS Nobody needs permission to be who they are, and I have no interest in telling a person how to live. But that is not a definition. A refuge, a prison, a sports category, all need a category someone other than the claimant can apply. "Whatever she says she is" does not answer it.
@LifeOfBOS@Berlinnaeus Sex is observed, not assigned, almost always at birth, correctly in the vast majority of cases, recorded once and used thereafter. And it's not determined person by person any more than age is. Nobody checks everyone in the pub, but "adult" is still a category the law can use.
This is what happens when communism takes over. It would be better to tackle the cost of living for everybody. This is typical lefty bolloxolgy and the shelves will be bare in minutes. Who decides who can shop there?
Do you have to prove you are skint? 🤦🏻♂️
Our tax funds Children's Books Ireland, which in turn recommends books to schools for use by children. As Min. for Children, Norma Foley cannot simply declare ignorance.its her duty to ensure that any books recommended through State-funded bodies are age-appropriate & suitable
@Berlinnaeus This gives the impression that all men are the problem which is far from the truth. Just as you accuse us of assuming all trans people are predators. We condemn that behavior and rightfully so. The vast majority of men in Ireland do not harm women or children.
Neal it’s particularly sad that you don’t understand how that research was conducted and that it measures , war, conflict, militarisation etc and doesn’t just specifically refer to how safe people are from crime incidents. You would imagine on the money you are paid you might understand context.
Imagine a child having to protest at our parliament twice to ask the gov to do what it should've done in the first place, listen & act
20,209 children are waiting for an assessment on need
8648 children awaiting their first appointment with a Children's Disability Network Team
Féile an Phobail was founded by people who were censored by Section 31.
It was founded by people who were deplatformed by the establishment
They should not censor & exclude those they disagree with
Especially on an ideology that damages children & women
