You might remember the men dressed as paramilitaries evicting people from this building with the help of gardaí in 2018. The commercial landlord has decided that planning permission and fire safety certificates are optional now. dublininquirer.com/2025/01/15/o... #housingCrisis #ireland

"What about the safety of those sleeping rough? What about their concerns? If you’re scared to walk down O’Connell St at night, then what of the people who have to spend all night, every night, on those same streets, cold, hungry and possibly in pain?" Surrealing: www.thejournal.ie/readme/surre...

This is actually perfect. The funders, armers & arbiters of genocide rewarding the passive & silent acquiescence of genocide. When the empathy of ‘activists’ doesn’t extend to Palestinian children, and they are duly rewarded for not speaking up when inconvenient 🫡 🥾👅

With the Gerry Hutch situation, if you try offer context around why ppl vote for him, many assume you're excusing ppl voting for him Article in the IT today feat. people who voted for him & it's the same as always: no meaningful change or improvement in their lives has come from mainstream politics

Did a sketch about the Greens back in 2020, would probably cringe to death watching it now, but conclusion was they'll destroy the hopes of their new voters by enabling FG & FF. This stuff isn't hard to predict or understand. They voted to lift the evictions ban! Young people HATE being evicted

Sorry, RTÉ playing a vox pop of a woman who voted for Aontú "because they actually know the difference between a man and a woman" is absolutely shocking. My jaw honestly dropped.

If home owning parents who’s children can’t buy a home, voted left, they would’ve had to countenance a world where their property’s price goes down in value in order to make housing affordable for their kids, or they could vote FFFG and have grandkids growing up Vancouver. A lot chose the latter.

We are currently witnessing one of the largest transfers of wealth in the history of the state, from renters to a property owning landlord class. And people have voted accordingly.

FFFG Voters looked at homeless figures and said this is within the acceptable range of what I will tolerate. These figures will go up as there is no incentive for FFFG to arrest the rise in figures cos they now know their voters will vote for them regardless of how big the numbers get.

Taoiseach Simon Harris speaks with a woman who says she is a carer. His coldness, condescension and lack of empathy for someone who is clearly genuine, upset and exasperated and says more than I can.

Lots of support for #NikitaHand being expressed today - one positive action to show that is to make a donation to the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre who stood by her and her case www.drcc.ie/get-involved... Simple way is text DRCC to 50300 to donate €4 or consider corporate fund raising/ sponsorship

Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris was forced to apologize Saturday to a disability services worker for treating her dismissively — a self-destructive campaign moment that could cost him dearly in next week’s election.

As the ICC finally issues arrest warrants for Israel’s leaders, here’s a promise. To those who helped facilitate Israel’s genocide - Western politicians, media outlets, and journalists: We will not rest until you are held accountable for the crime you helped commit.

That Finn MacRedmond piece is utter dogshit. She circles the drain without any real thesis beyond "woke bad". This is the closest it comes to making a point, which is that "liberals" aren't kind to racists and people who want to ban abortion again. 1,000 words for something tweeted 100,000 times.
