The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

I think I listen to ‘The Rest js History’ Britian 1974 episodes like some people listen to their favourite Leonard Cohen album. Absolutely sparklingly brilliant stuff. @theresthistory.bsky.social

Cllr Ali Field joined the Labour Party after we successful campaigned for a school place for her autistic son James. She ran for election to help other families just like hers. Proud to support her.

3 years since the illegal invasion of Ukraine & our protests at Russian embassy. EU faces greatest challenge since its foundation with a rogue US administration siding with the aggressor. History demands that Ireland takes a lead. Democracy, freedom & the rule of law are at stake. #SlavaUkraini

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

I’ve only just learned the St Anne’s Street stabbing victim lived in the Ballyogan direct provision site, where I coach the lads in distance running. He was a popular, friendly fellow, and came to this country to be safe. m.sundayworld.com/crime/courts...

Ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Cutting aid to the poorest. Abandoning Ukraine. Is there nothing Trump could do to make you rethink a photo op? We won’t turn a blind eye and we won’t be at the St. Patrick's week celebrations in Washington. @otoolematthew.bsky.social

Are people finally waking up? The real fight isn’t about bathrooms or drag queens—it’s about who holds power & at whose expense. Culture war is just a distraction, keeping working people too busy fighting each other rather than noticing who’s actually robbing us blind: billionaires—not each other!

The 123 should be run by Dublin Bus. 🚌 I understand Trade Unions have written to Dublin Bus to confirm they didn’t win tender to operate routes 7, 44B, 47, 54A, 56A, 65, 77A, 122, 123 and 151. Privatisation serves no-one. Contact your govt TD to keep Dublin Bus routes in public hands.

Recommendation 4 from Dublin City Taskforce: 1000 new Dublin Gardaí over next 3 years. Need an identifiable govt representative to oversee implementation of the report. #ForTheLoveOfDublin

Dublin figures show 1050 knife seizures last year compared to 620 in 2015. Dublin City Taskforce calls for an extra 1000 Dublin Gardaí over the next 3 years. We can’t police our way out of this issue but it will help.

Fantastic occasion at Lansdowne Road with a record attendance of over 33,000 for a LOI game. Potential for a football industry here is huge. Govt MUST now invest in football & especially in academies.

Tomorrow! 15th February, 1pm, Department of Foreign Affairs, march to the US Embassy. Our message is hands off Gaza. We totally reject Trump's advocating ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians in Gaza and apartheid Israel's crimes all over Palestine. #SanctionsNow #FreePalestine

A speech deliberately designed to be as insulting & provocative as possible. European leaders need to realise the extent of the threat to democratic values internationally from East & West. Ireland needs to realise it too. Trump’s White House is poison.

44 years since 48 people were unlawtully killed at Stardust, Artane. 48 lives lost. Countless lives destroyed. Hopefully healing has begun since the verdict of the Coroner's Court last year. For the families, survivors, emergency services and all touched by the horror of February 14th 1981.

I accused the Rural Independents of spreading lies in a Dáil debate in late 2023. Verona Murphy was in the chair and demanded I withdraw the remark on the spot. I wasn’t asked to “review” anything.
