@googlemaps I've been trying to get my Eircode route corrected for several months through an edit but have got no response - I pm'ed you also but no response either. Can you advise please?

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@nofkngd @paulmurphy_TD No that’s not correct. She filled out the form for a pass on her appointment and left the job after 6mths because the garda clearance didn’t come through. My question would be to Garda vetting - why did they take so long to make a decision?

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@donal_brenna @paulmurphy_TD No she didn’t. She said socialist AND anti fascist.

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@nofkngd @paulmurphy_TD CC said she did fill out the form immediately upon being appointed and the correct process was followed. The question is why the Gardai didnt process it and if they had questions or issues - who did they talk to about them?

@caulmick @ReadaCronin The apartment not registered - was he subverting the system perchance?

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@JamesStokesSF Ah but she means it an uair seo - instead of counting her ‘ehh’s this time, they’ll be counting her 😬 smiles. The comms training is showing.

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@Tracking_Power V interesting around focus on Far Right. The Institute for Strategic Dialogue has done good work on FR in Ireland but continues to use the IHRA defn of antisemitism. It was founded by George Weidenfeld, ‘lifelong z!onist’. Also does work in US for ADL.

BREAKING!!! - 11:18PM UK time; I am with the flotilla online. They have just been reached by the Israel speedboats - 5 vessels circling the flotilla. The captain is instructing the team to stay calm and seated, with their passports and life jackets on. I hear them speaking with Israeli soldiers as I type... telling they are carrying humanitarian aid and go in peace. For the time being they are just circled. I am with them, recording everything.

@KNEECAPCEOL Stay cool a bhuachaillí!

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@feinmhuinin @DKenni So how are they associated with the IRA? They parody them, along with everything else but within the context of their experiences growing up in the north of Ireland - they are true subversives imo, while projecting a strong, confident identity go mormhór trid an teanga!

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@feinmhuinin @DKenni You clearly haven’t been listening to them for the past few years and / or don’t understand the nuances or context of their community.

KNEECAP STATEMENT:

They want you to believe words are more harmful than genocide.

Establishment figures, desperate to silence us, have combed through hundreds of hours of footage and interviews, extracting a handful of words from months or years ago to manufacture moral hysteria.

Let us be unequivocal: we do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah. We condemn all attacks on civilians, always. It is never okay. We know this more than anyone, given our nation's history.

We also reject any suggestion that we would seek to incite violence against any MP or individual. Ever. An extract of footage, deliberately taken out of all context, is now being exploited and weaponised, as if it were a call to action.

This distortion is not only absurd - it is a transparent effort to derail the real conversation.

All two million Palestinian people in Gaza are currently being starved to death by Israel.

At least 20,000 children in Gaza have been killed. The British government continues to supply arms to Israel, even after scores of NHS doctors warned Keir Starmer in August that children were being systematically executed with sniper shots to the head.

Instead of defending innocent people or the principles of international law, the powerful in Britain have abetted slaughter and famine.

This is where real anger and outrage should be directed towards.

To the Amess and Cox families, we send our heartfelt apologies, we never intended to cause you hurt.

Kneecap’s message has always been — and remains — one of love, inclusion, and hope. This is why our music resonates across generations, countries, classes and cultures and has brought hundreds of thousands of people to our gigs.

No smear campaign will change that.

Suddenly, days after calling out the US administration at Coachella to applause and solidarity, there is an avalanche of outrage and condemnation by the political classes of Britain.

The real crimes are not in our performances; the real crimes are the silence and complicity of those in power.

Shame on them.

@hightar65 @Reunify32 @Timalloy5 @irishnational10 I was there too and I saw it

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@JoeBrolly1993 Not to mention the Kneecap and Bohs T-shirts - yep they’re that thick

[KNEECAP @KNEECAPCEOL]

KNEECAP STATEMENT:

Since our statements at Coachella — exposing the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people — we have faced a coordinated smear campaign.

For over a year, we have used our shows to call out the British and Irish governments' complicity in war crimes.

The recent attacks against us, largely emanating from the US, are based on deliberate distortions and falsehoods. We are taking action against several of these malicious efforts.

Let us be absolutely clear.

The reason Kneecap is being targeted is simple — we are telling the truth, and our audience is growing.

Those attacking us want to silence criticism of a mass slaughter. They weaponize false accusations of antisemitism to distract, confuse, and provide cover for genocide.

We do not give a f*ck what religion anyone practices. We know there are massive numbers of Jewish people outraged by this genocide just as we are. What we care about is that governments of the countries we perform in are enabling some of the most horrific crimes of our lifetimes — and we will not stay silent.

No media spin will change this.

Our only concern is the Palestinian people — the 20,000 murdered children and counting.

The young people at our gigs see through the lies.

They stand on the side of humanity and justice.

And that gives us great hope.

Kneecap ❤️

@OisinDunne @deejayguynan @RailUsersIe Yes I’m close to Newbridge Fairer Fares campaign, some confusion about this. V good value and this fare will now go up to e3.90, still good compared to other Euro cities. Think it will be e6 now from Newbridge so much less of a differential.

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@OisinDunne @deejayguynan @RailUsersIe More specifically, tag on Smithfield Luas: -e2, tag off Heuston +.50; tag on Heuston: -€2.50; tag off Sallins +e1.00 - is that not 90min fare kicking in?

[Orla Ni Neill 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @ONiNeill]

@OisinDunne @deejayguynan @RailUsersIe I don’t think that’s correct. My bus fare after Sallins / Heuston e3 train was nil this evening.
