Also the Fash are going to claim that every spoiled or invalid/inconclusive ballot is one for Maria Steen and their regressive Catholic Theocracy nonsense, so having a clear mandate against that will be good.
Don’t flake on voting just because the result is in the bag! Margin matters. Remember how awful it felt seeing Peter Casey jump from 2% polls to 23% after his attacks on travellers. A low turnout/high number of spoiled votes will be seized on by the fash. Every vote for Connolly undermines them

If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.

What a graph 👇

"English-speaking countries have fared far worse at increasing housing supply than other developed nations, and have generally seen steeper price rises..."
Of all the housing charts not made by MMI, this one is my favourite. It shows how, despite rhetoric, housing shortages aren't a global phenomenon, but they do seem to be an Anglo-American one.

If you are thinking of voting for Jim Gavin tomorrow, just a PSA that the most likely effect of that vote would be increasing the odds of Gavin meeting the threshold so that Fianna Fáil can claim a load of their expenses back from the campaign.

Just so you know. #Aras25

What @eimermcauley.bsky.social said.
All the lads waffling about immigration, pointless bullshit, that only engages in all the far right bullshit that sparks race riots like we saw this week.

The rioters didn’t go there to attack gardaí, they went to attack the residents. Condemn the ideology, the hate.
The Tánaiste has condemned violent attacks on Gardaí outside Citywest tonight, following a protest where a Garda van was set alight.

IS THE US ENABLING THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION HEATHER
This is not a protest, it is a hate filled racist mob who I’m pretty sure would turn to lynching at the first opportunity.

Not having a public order unit present for this with a full day's notice this was going to be happening and full knowledge of what they were intending to do makes any disorder tonight a deliberate choice facilitated by the Gardaí
Gardaí appear to be losing control of the baying mob at Citywest. No sign of the public order unit yet.
