Time and again, FFG show they can't be trusted. They don't work for us. This is why we need the Triple Lock. Without it, there is nothing to stop them involving our Defence Forces in the likes of this.

For MicheΓ‘l Martin and Helen McEntee this is apparently the moment for what is according to them still a "neutral" country to "boost military cooperation" with the United States, France and Britain.

The US has just launched a war of aggression in violation of the UN Charter with the genocidal Zionist regime as an accomplice. Attacks on schools. 100s of kids dead. Regional war likely. France and Britain up to their necks in this act of international barbarity, itching to get directly involved.

Fair play to Cllr Perry and the other Cllrs who supported this motion, and to everyone who went out to City Hall yesterday to show support.

It has received no attention in our national press, but this brings to 13 the number of councils and local authorities across our island that have passed motions to defend the Triple Lock. The FFG government is determined, but there is no consent for they want to do.

Forward Ireland We are delighted to confirm that the motion in favour of Neutrality was passed by 39 votes for, 9 against (4 abstained) at Dublin City Council tonight. A great result and a great turnout tonight....

Excellent result. 39 Cllrs voted in favour of Cllr Cieran Perry's motion to save the Triple Lock. An overwhelming rebuke to the government's plans to scrap one of the central pillars of neutrality.

This is what a statement on "the events in the Middle East" should look like. International law is a core principle of the EU treaties, but the EU leadership is abandoning it. What the US and Israel have done is ILLEGAL. Say it!!!

We're just meat for them to offer up to the billionaire predator class in exchange for attaboys and post-politics career opportunities.

320,000 Irish households can't afford to pay their energy bills as it is. You'd be hard pressed to find a more flagrant example of the fact FFG don't see their role as working for the Irish people or looking out for our interests.

In only the last few hours, that spike has rocketed up to 45%. There are predictions in the financial press that gas prices may rise by as much as 130%.

European gas prices were up by 25% this morning after 48 hours of the US and Israel's demonic, idiotic war on Iran - a war MicheΓ’l Martin and Helen McEntee can't bring themselves to condemn.

They will never be forgiven for their role in this, and it is unlikely the EU will ever recover from the damage they are doing to it.

Moreover, it is multiplying the harm already done to international law by the EU's shameful role in the Gaza genocide, accelerating our slide into a much more violent and unsafe world, and undermining the security of every country and billions of people.

The degree of EU collusion in breaches of international law is itself a breach of international law. These "leaders" are aiding an act of aggression, and they are accountable for that.

Indeed, except it goes far beyond embarrassment. It is disgraceful and dangerous, and our government should be clearly stating to the international community its outright dissent from this moral and legal morass.

Yesterday Shannonwatch documented two US Air Force Hercules C-130H aircraft landing at Shannon Airport. Is the government going to do anything to uphold Ireland's international responsibilities?

b) not to render aid or assistance in maintaining that situation.

Spain has denied the US military any use of its territory to carry out unlawful acts of aggression against Iran.

Ireland's international obligations as regards the US/Israeli attack on Iran are clear. Among them are:

a) not to recognise as lawful a situation created by a serious breach of international law. A war of aggression is the paramount example of a serious breach.

The Triple Lock protects Ireland's neutrality. FFG wants to remove it.

DCC will vote tomorrow on a motion supporting the Triple Lock and opposing the FFG's plans.

πŸ“’ Rally outside DCC tomorrow, Monday 2nd, 5-7pm, to show support for this motion, and to urge Cllrs to preserve and defend neutrality!

Honoured to speak recently in the European Parliament alongside Andrew Lowenthal at an event organised by Ondrej DostΓ‘l & Fidias Panayiotou on the architecture of repression being built by Europe's mainstream parties under the guise of "fighting disinformation".

Appalling! A completely inexcusable police violation of a place of worship to repress peaceful organising on climate and Gaza. While the likes of Vance and Musk waffle on about "free speech," protest is being criminalised across Europe and America.

From the streets of Sana'a yesterday. This is what humanity looks like. Overwhelmed at the display of courage and defiance by the Yemeni people and their enormous solidarity for Palestine. I have never experienced anything like it.

Honoured to speak and attend the Third International Conference on Palestine - "You Are Not Alone" - in Sana'a, Yemen. A magnificent display of solidarity and defiance in the face of savage US, EU and Israeli assault on international law and basic humanity.

I've spent 5 days in Sana'a, at the 3rd International Conference on Palestine, while the US has carried out savage acts of international terrorism against Yemen, bombing nearby & killing ordinary people.

From on the ground in Yemen, my interview yesterday on RTE News. πŸ‘‡
