Labour said it was a typo from a volunteer.

Helen went on radio and blamed the web designer.

The same false story appeared in four separate Labour Party communications.

The Irish MSM are a disgrace. Is it any wonder the majority has lost all faith & respect in them.

[Cllr Gavin Pepper @gavpepper85]

The city centre in Dublin is completely lost.
I feel like a stranger in my own city all you see is foreigner's.
The amount of foreigner's who have come to this country and got everything handed to them on a plate is sickening.
When you see your own people on the street begging and Irish children spending Christmas in emergency accommodation while migrants spend 2 years in state of the art accommodation to then go on a homeless band list and get housed ahead of your own people who are waiting years for a house is truly horrifying.
We are supposed to pay taxes to fund services and help our people.

However in Ireland our taxes are used to fund IPAS millionaires and help foreigner's.

A Young Teen Girl Collapses Inside Easons, Blanchardstown Centre - One of Ireland’s Largest Shopping Centres - Convulsing and Foaming at the Mouth. Connolly Hospital, with One of Dublin’s Major Emergency Departments and Ambulance Fleets, Is Minutes Away. 999 Was Called Immediately. No Emergency Response Yet. No Visible First Aid Administered. Now 105 Minutes and Counting.

This evening, at approximately 6.10pm, a young Irish girl collapsed in what staff described to me as a serious medical emergency on the upper floor of Eason’s two-level unit in Blanchardstown Centre.

A 999 call was made.

98 minutes later, there was still no visible emergency medical response at the scene.

Let that sink in.

A child collapsed on the floor of a major shopping centre in Dublin 15. She was unconscious. Her parents were sitting beside her on the floor. Staff had closed the upper level of the store where the incident occurred.

And people still tried to get in.

Not to buy medicine. Not to get food. Not to deal with an emergency of their own.

The upper level of this store sells stationery, envelopes, picture frames and similar retail items. The ground-floor bookshop remained open. This was not a question of essentials. This was not necessity. This was consumer selfishness stripped naked.

The girl was only feet from the entrance. She was plainly visible. Yet people argued with staff that they should still be allowed in, as though a collapsed child on the floor was merely an obstruction between them and stationery.

According to the manager, people did not ask how the girl was. They did not ask whether she was alive, conscious, breathing, safe, or being helped. They wanted what they had come to buy.

That is not merely disappointing. It is obscene.

I am deliberately not showing the girl, her face, her parents, or any identifying image of her in the attached video. This post is not about exploiting a child’s distress. It is about recording the disgrace of what happened around her.

Connolly Hospital is only minutes away from this location. It is a large hospital with a major Emergency Department. In a normal vehicle, it is close. With blue lights, in an emergency, it should feel almost next door.

And yet, 98 minutes after the emergency call, no visible emergency medical response had arrived.

I do not know where exactly the failure occurred. I do not know whether the issue lies with dispatch, capacity, triage, staffing, ambulance availability, or some other breakdown in the system.

But I know what I saw.

A 13-year-old girl collapsed on a shop floor. Her parents sat beside her. Staff tried to protect the scene. Members of the public argued to get past her. And nearly an hour and forty minutes after a 999 call, the emergency response still had not visibly arrived.

This is Ireland in 2026.

A child can collapse in one of Dublin’s largest shopping centres, minutes from a major hospital, and the system can leave her on the floor long enough for strangers to become irritated that they cannot buy envelopes.

It is now approaching two hours and still no emergency medical response.

This is not normal.

This is not acceptable.

And someone needs to answer for it.

Today we learned more details about the attack on three young children outside a creche in Dublin.

We already know that the Algerian Muslim responsible packed his belongings, grabbed his passports, and brought it all to a mosque on Talbot Street where they agreed to look after it.

Then he started hunting children.

Today it was revealed he initially planned on targeting another group of kids, but changed his mind because they were older and physically stronger than the kids he eventually attacked.

He waited, and instead attacked five and six year olds, the most vulnerable targets be could find.

When their teacher intervened, he stabbed her too, then went back to trying to kill the kids.

Why did he do this?

He said he was angry because he was denied a welfare payment.

If they released the figures of foreign born people in social housing, they would never come back from it.

There would be clear evidence that the Irish are treated like second class citizens in Ireland.

[Cllr Gavin Pepper @gavpepper85]

I believe two referendums are now needed in Ireland.

The first should be on Ireland’s position regarding EU migration policy. The Irish people should have a direct say on major decisions that affect our country, our communities, and our public services. Legal migration is welcome and necessary. People who come here with proper visas, skills, and a willingness to contribute are an important part of Ireland. But uncontrolled or illegal migration, and any EU policy that limits Ireland’s ability to manage its own borders, should not be decided without the clear consent of the Irish people.

The second referendum should be on the future of RTÉ. It is time to ask the public whether RTÉ should remain publicly funded or be privatised. Many good and decent people work in RTÉ, and this is not an attack on them. But RTÉ must fully disassociate itself from political party influence, whether that influence is real or perceived.

Where any staff, presenters, board members, contributors, or decision-makers have current or past connections to political parties, those connections should be openly declared. A publicly funded broadcaster cannot be seen to have links, loyalties, or sympathies towards any political party, including Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, the Social Democrats, Labour, Sinn Féin, independents, or any other political group. RTÉ must be completely independent, politically neutral, transparent, and accountable to the people who fund it.

Taxpayers are being asked to fund RTÉ while many ordinary people are struggling with the cost of living, housing, health, and public services. If RTÉ receives public money, then the Irish people deserve confidence that it represents all sections of society fairly, not just the views of political insiders or establishment parties.

The Irish people deserve a say on both issues. These decisions are too important to be left only to government, political parties, or insiders.

"Outrageous": @Ben_Scallan grills Children's Minister Norma Foley after RTÉ promoted a book instructing under-16s on how to engage in explicit activities:

"I don't know that book, I'm not familiar with it -"

"Minister, I actually emailed your office about this ahead of time."

🚨 DID YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO KNOW THE FOLLOWING?

DID YOU KNOW Ireland has 10 times the average number of data centres per capita compared to every other EU country except Germany? Did you know that Data centres in Ireland USE MORE electricity than ALL households combined? (Source CSO). Did you know that they are projected to use between 26% and 30% of all electricity in Ireland this year? (By comparison it is around 2% to 4% in other countries). Did you know that you pay 45% more for electricity than any other EU citizen outside of Ireland? Did you know these centres are why you are being pressured to cut your consumption and only use electricity at "non peak" times? (Tip: do not get a "smart metre", as it can be used to control your consumption forcibly in the future).

Did you know data centres are linked to causing health issues for those in close proximity to them? Did you know that, in paying for their electricity, we are essentially paying for AI to replace us? (these centres are needed to power AI technology).

Did you know the average size is 20,000 square metres? Did you know that these data centres use all our "sustainable wind energy" and that the mega turbines near people's homes are only for corporate benefit? Which they don't pay for? You've been sold the idea that sustainable energy wind turbines would LOWER electricity costs, but this has NOT been the case. It has been the opposite.

Do you know so many people have been removed from their homes to build them and the people who live near them are experiencing health issues due to noise and other factors?

Did you know the average mid-large centre uses 100 to 120 million litres of water per year also? Hyper scale campuses need 600 million litres a year and it is roughly 300,000 litres per day for mid sized campuses. This is mostly used for cooling on hot summer days...is this why the skies look as they do?).

Did you know that Ireland is on course to become one massive data centre due to the demands of ever growing AI technology and usage? Essentially for all interest and purposes AI will replace humans in many respects. Facebook (Meta) laid off several hundred employees last week. But not before using those employees to train AI to replace them. Did you know that the virus like expansion of data centres underscores a lie that is going unchallenged? The notion of climate change.

These centres use up so much non sustainable energy as well as sustainable energy. So once again...don't get that flight to Spain or drive your petrol or diesel car as you could destroy the planet. But nevermind all those data centres...

This is why YOUR bills are unaffordable. This is WHY 300,000 families and individuals are in electricity arrears. Why are we paying for huge multinationals who make billions and produce nothing?
Why is the government allowing this? (because they work for them, not us).

We are being screwed a thousand ways to Sunday and back.

It is criminal.

Just imagine, if elected, Malachy Steenson will occasionally appear on @RTEOne and @virginmedia and get to say what WE are all thinking. It will be the best TV in Ireland since Riverdance Eurovision 1994 or an Ireland football match at Italia 90. Imagine the itch that would scratch.

Wise words from this young woman!

“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.”

“Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.”

“When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.”

“Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able. Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a shit about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and jeez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”
