The population of Ireland was reduced by 40% during the Cromwellian wars and sits at the severe end of European demographic catastrophes over the last 400 years.

Irish People Watching Father Ted Instead Of Eurovision On RTÉ:

If you are ever wondering how good Jack Crowley is. Just watch Munster without him and remember he can make them look somewhat competent sometimes.

[Paul Sommerville @PaulSommerville]

“A country with a €23 billion surplus and the highest GDP per capita in Europe is debating whether its young people should live in sheds in their parents’ gardens”.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT IRAN NEVER HAD ANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ WAS ALREADY OPEN BEFORE TRUMP STARTED THE EPSTEIN WAR 🤷

[Sinéad O’Sullivan @SineadOS1]

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.

That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.

That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.

People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

the last two masters have been the most exciting masters since 2019 and it’s largely due to the fact that rory is a head case

[Daniel Lambert @dlLambo]

Struggling for a position on fuel protests.

Agree:

Govt built economy for corporations not people

Cost of living/housing criminal

Govt failure on key issues

Need change

Yet:

Far right infiltration clear

Likely changes will benefit a select few

Real cause ignored

#EnochBurke is in prison because he refused to obey a court order to stay away from a school, not because he refused to use "they/them" pronouns.

This is a fact

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

It’s not just Ben Gvir. People keep pointing to him like he’s the problem, like he’s some outlier—but he isn’t. He’s a reflection of a system that backed this.

62 Knesset members voted for the death penalty law.

Stop pretending this begins and ends with one man. It doesn’t.

[Barry Andrews MEP @BarryAndrewsMEP]

Israel today

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

“A toddler in Gaza released from Israeli custody has been returned to his family with suspected torture wounds.”

Read that again.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Israel has invaded and is illegally occupying southern Lebanon. That’s how it should be reported.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

If you still think this is about Hizbollah, and not ‘Greater Israel’, you’re either the dumbest person in the world or the most dishonest

[Mandy McAuley @mandy_mcauley]

Horrifying that 30 women have now been murdered in Northern Ireland since 2020. Most of them in their own home.

[Ciaran Tierney @ciarantierney]

Winston Churchill deployed the hated paramilitary Black and Tans to both Ireland and Palestine.

They carried out atrocities in both countries.

Did an Irish Taoiseach really describe him as a "great war time leader" in the White House today? 🧐

[john creedon @johncreedon]

The Irish nation has lost one of it's finest jewels. Dolores Keane has left us. Comhbhrón ó chroí le muintir Uí Chéin.

Never doubt the Six Nations

One of the great tournaments in any sport worldwide

Love the #6nations.. but god that’s a sickener 🤢💚 #FRAvENG
