The UK: We are getting ripped off for water that is often undrinkable. Official Ireland: Sign us up. No progression without public utility regression!

Who was the commentator on the BBC CL highlights show? The hun was pure dripping out of him 😂

Verona Murphy was kicked off the FG ticket because she was too racist which means now she is the perfect candidate for Ceann Comhairle according to FG. Which means FG only gave her the boot because of public outrage and not because she didn't reflect their values.

"1st Woman Ceann Comhairle!"(We had Catherine Connolly but ok) Can see all the puff pieces and MSM touting this as progressiveness and female empowerment...like they've never heard of Maggie Thatcher. The Dáil is gonna become even louder with dog whistles and outright racist rhetoric.

Absolutely agree with what @lnbdublin.bsky.social just said on TV. Far right targeted SF (& fought very dirty) in working class constituencies. They targeted the Greens also but not FF/FG. Govt parties & media stood back & let it happen, even fed the flames. Anything that hurt SF was OK with them.
