Micheál Martin and Simon Harris are in a life or death struggle to see who can be the whiniest most sensitive wittle baby and it's going down to the wire

Looking back at the Irish ad where the fella is roasting lamb going by the recipe his late mother had recorded on actual physical audio quite nostalgically now.

There are aspects of the wedding in "November Rain" which are immediately recognisable to an Irish audience, and others that seem weirdly protestant. In this TED Talk I shall

Gavin Cumiskey surely channeling Georgie Hamilton here:

Ireland’s red card hex visited the Portuguese just like it transformed the previous home qualifiers, as Cristiano Ronaldo joined 🇭🇺’s Rolland Sallai and 🇦🇲's Tigran Barseghyan in the land of headless international visitors to the Aviva Stadium.

If we beat Hungary Catherine Connolly is giving us Monday off work. Pass it on.

Man living in Ireland for 19 years to be deported in ‘absolutely cruel’ case, TD tells Dáil People Before Profit leader Richard Boyd Barrett says Government bowing to groups ‘screaming for mass deportations’

"The Taoiseach added that 'many have lived here long enough that their children are growing up here. Those children are now facing challenges, notwithstanding that they are Irish citizens.'"

Did he forget he led a campaign to end birthright citizenship?

My name is Ozymandius, King of Kings. I hope my works find you well.

A perfect summation of who Ronaldo is: gloating and taunting when he thinks he's got away with a cynical off-the-ball foul, crying and snivelling when he's called to account.

Lookit...I'm just sayin...just doesn't feel like a coincidence is all.

I don’t dare to hope here. I am living in the moment. But we are 2-0 up, lansdowne Road is loud, the petulant Portuguese Trump fan has been sent off for a nasty foul, and right now this is the most fun I have had watching sport since Rhys Hoskins’ bat spike nearly made Spencer Strider cry.

Principal Skinner: Right now, Cristiano Ronaldo is at home, crying like a little girl

Me sowing, me reaping

HOOK IT TO MY VEINS.

Oh that sounds friendly!

This is the best night of my life

THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Once again my political enemies are smearing me by presenting evidence of my crimes

Hans Moleman: "I'm 31 years old"

Dear Sir, I was deeply disturbed to hear Timmy Dooley, alongside Matt Carthy, on The Tonight Show echoing far-right sentiments regarding immigration and the strain on our housing supply, particularly with regard to international protection applicants. There is a marked difference between debating the carrying capacity of a functioning housing market, and discussing how many desperate people we must sacrifice to avoid fixing a broken one. My partner and I have been struggling to retain housing and to buy a house for the better part of 4 years. Immigrants are not to blame for our difficulties, housing policies that prioritise the investments of landlords such as Timmy Dooley are. I do not want to hear discussions about which type of immigrants we should turn away first. I want to see leadership deciding which aspects of our broken housing system we will tackle first. I want to hear debates on which emergency measures we will take to ensure illegal short-term lets are brought back into continuous use. I want to hear how the government plan to address their ineffective policies regarding dereliction. I want to hear what policy changes can be implemented to accelerate progress on tackling vacancy. The government's aggressive right-wing pivot following their defeat in the presidential election was sadly predictable. It is obvious the government wish to present immigrants as a scapegoat to desperate people such as myself, in the hopes of appealing to the worst parts of our nature.

I would like to take this opportunity to reassure any vulnerable people who may be reading that this ploy will not work. I am sorry for the escalating atmosphere of fear and xenophobia you have been subjected to. You deserve better than this from a country where migration is such an integral part of our own troubled history. The people of Clare deserve better than the weak leadership we saw last night. Regards, Rob O' Sullivan Kilrush

My letter in today's Clare Champion calling out the xenophobic dog-whistling from our local TD, Timmy Dooley, as well as Sinn Féin's Matt Carthy.
Immigrants are not the reason I've struggled to retain housing or buy my own home - Government policies are. Landlords like Timmy Dooley are. #Spéirgorm

Eoin Drea is a smug hypocrite who takes money to launder genocide and misery.

He could excommunicate the VP that's a thing he could do.

However many, may John Fetterman's remaining hours be agonising and terrifying.
