If the enthusiastic response you got here is anything to go by, you should make more and sell them on your website. I'd buy a pair!

He'll just have to walk to school. And probably will, given his track record and all the encouragement he gets from his aggressive, self-promoting family shouting into the void. Their bizarre behaviour is the very opposite of the core Christian values of love, forgiveness, and humility.

+ he's eligible to draw his EU pension of £73k per year from 2027. With his appalling track record In politics, who in their right minds would vote for him? A supremely useless MEP, he's giving the same level of inattention to his Clacton constituency. What's most in need of reform is Nigel Farage.

Maybe Martin should save the rest us a lot of money and time by just looking at the process by which a person gets a nomination from the Fianna Fáil party.

Too embarrassed after all the snide comments he made last weekend to look her in the eye? 🤔 He should be.

I expect that the Taoiseach @michealmartin.bsky.social and Táinaiste @simonharrisireland.bsky.social will apologise to President Catherine Connolly for their utterly shameful behaviour in the run up to her election. All is not fair in politics. #SmearTheBejaysus #Aras2025

And the spoilers have different issues - bills, broken electoral promises, housing, hospital waiting lists ... They're not all racists or supporters of the Iona Institute.

A sitting city councillor, paid for out of public money, might this be newsworthy?
Or is it still the policy to ignore the threat of the far right as you have done so successfully for so long?

Danny's the Achilles heel but he gets over the line with Michael's transfers. At least with the former electoral boundaries, the Healy Raes were confined to South Kerry with a more limited opportunity to win 2 seats. Their parish pump politics play county-wide now, more's the pity.

we now have @rteradio1.bsky.social giving time to failed previous candidate Declan G to make wild allegations & draw more significant from this push to spoil votes rather than cover actual election - really dangerous trend to undermine democracy - candidates who failed to get nominated - failed.

The Healy Rae machine is well oiled and hard to beat, especially where Michael is concerned. These boys have a finger in every pie and Logan Roy could have taken lessons from them in succession planning. Not going away any time soon, unfortunately.

Shocking to read that Ireland imports 95% of all apples sold here. Yes, you read that right - apples, not pineapples!

Bord Bia has launched a campaign to support Irish apple growers, in a bid to reduce the carbon footprint of imports - and improve food security.

It's all just so frustrating and predictable, isn't it? For years people have been warning of the far right rising in Ireland and we've been laughed at and dismissed by the media and the government. In turn, the govt. have not acted, have treated right wing agitators with kid gloves.

Shingles vaccine in Ireland costs €480. In 2024 HIQA declined adding it to the national immunisation programme for adults saying it would not be a good use of HSE resources.
