Simply hilarious. The first victim of the Fianna Fáil review of its disastrous Jim Gavin presidential campaign is the former Fine Gael Agriculture Minister Ivan Yates.
Ivan Yates has been axed from a podcast he co-presented with Matt Cooper after it was revealed today he was involved with Fianna Fáil's presidential election campaign.

Cooper said in a statement he was unaware of this and believes it should have been disclosed to him jrnl.ie/6862164

This is hilarious. Thanks Brian Hanley for bringing this to our attention.
If you're one of The Adults In The Room™ in Ireland you can be on a fat state pension in your 40's while arguing for welfare cuts, go bankrupt running a bookies, FF will still pay you to banjax their presidential run, and you'll still be invited on the airwaves to talk shite forever

3. We see sympathy, protests, boycotts for others, but for Ukrainians it’s always about “reducing costs” and “sending them back.”
It feels like Ukrainians became second-class victims. Same war crimes, same suffering — but different treatment.
That’s not neutrality, that’s hypocrisy. 💔
2. When it comes to Palestine or Afghanistan, Irish politicians speak loudly about “justice” and “human rights.” But when it’s Ukraine — suddenly it’s silence, bureaucracy, and excuses.
1. So Ireland expels the Israeli ambassador, calling it “a stand against genocide” — but somehow still keeps the Russian one, after two years of bombing, torture, executions, and mass deportations in Ukraine? How’s that not genocide too?
The rest of the left must reject SF's racist lurch

I read that Catherine Connolly's supporters have formed a new political party - VOICE - which will contest the Galway West West by-election caused by Connolly's presidential victory. Do any readers know more about this?
