Irish leftie living in France.

If you use Karen in the pejorative you are no better than the people you are trying to insult. A person's name or ethnicity is not an insult and using it as such just shows the world how verbally limited you are.

Why on earth is the name of a South East Asian ethnic minority used to describe what is effectively stereotypical entitled white American behaviour? #Burma #Myanmar

According to RSF, around 220 journalists were killed by the IDF in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and September 2025. Yet the EBU (headed by a former journalist) and the executives of most of its member broadcasters has no problem with Israel taking part in the Eurovision. BTW well done RTÉ #spéirghorm

Every day, 137 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members internationally - one death every 10 minutes, according to the UN, who released their annual femicide report today.

Is there a gender breakdown for that poll in Spain regarding support for Franco mentioned on @france24? I would be very worried if a high proportion of women believed Franco's regime was overall good.

"Ireland's weather service said its scientists briefed the country’s prime minister last year and a parliamentary committee last month."

Last year, but not a peep out of Leo or Simon (pre & post Apr 2024 Taoisigh) about the #climate risks of early AMOC collapse.

💡 On vous explique en quoi l’amendement créant un nouvel impôt de solidarité sur la fortune (ISF) est une bonne nouvelle, même s’il devra encore être amélioré pendant la navette parlementaire.

Just had a lovely woman in our shop in Donegal, searching for her lost twin sister. Appreciate it if my Irish followers would retweet this. Thank you.

Been thinking about this, and if you don't want to learn, or re-learn Irish, just ... don't?
When President Connolly speaks in Irish, she is addressing those who understand, not chiding those who don't, and what difference does it make to you what language people speak to each other?

The fact Simon Harris, Micheál Martin and the rest of them are obsessed with pandering to the bigots who spoilt their ballots rather than the much larger number who voted for Connolly tells you everything you need to know about them as politicians and as people.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the Irish that people leaving their home countries for better prospects elsewhere are worse than landlords.

I need every journalist to point out that even if steen got the finger out and got on the ballot (she didn't), and even if all the spoiled votes would have gone to her (they wouldn't), she would have still come last

1. It was a higher turnout for this presidential election than the 2018 presidential election.
2. The number of spoiled votes only equates to 5.91% of the actual electorate.
3. No Irish presidential candidate has ever received as many first preference votes as Catherine Connolly got.

One way to guarantee a good turnout #árus25 ##spéirghorm
The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Je le dis de façon solennelle : si le bloc central n'est pas capable de justice fiscale, le débat budgétaire s’arrêtera très vite. Beaucoup de choses vont se jouer dès ce week-end.
