This article concludes the proposed change is good because it puts the power with elected Irish representatives. Considering the party whip system the Govt/Dáil vote is one & the same. Yet Govt parties won’t present this important change to the Irish people in a referendum and engage in debate.

Ceding national sovereignty to Russia, China and the US in order to preserve neutrality seems counter-intuitive

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.
Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

From the party that put Kyle Rittenhouse on a pedestal 🙄
Q: Did he brandish a gun?
KRISTI NOEM: This individual showed up to impede a law enforcement operation and assaulted our officers. I don't know of any peaceful protester that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign. This is a violent riot when you have someone showing up with weapons

A thread worth reading.
The idea that journalists, politicians, groups or - you know, women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people - should "stay on the pitch" doesn't really hold up.
Foreign Minister's account has 60k followers - 40 likes, 13k views?
Blue ticks straight to the top of the queue with misogyny, bile.

This minister seems to believe that the State has no responsibility with regards to preventing a company, based here in Ireland, from providing the tools by which child sexual abuse material has been generated by its own paid subscribers. A truly bizarre thing to say.

Not an easy field goal to make on your debut but he made it look easy. Plus a great onside kick later. Well done Charlie. An amazing journey from GAA to NFL.
