In addition to being totally pathetic, he's also completely wrong.
EPA polls consistently show that the vast majority, across all ages, incomes , urban or rural, all want the government to take action.
So by polarising, he must mean that Micheal o Leary,Amazon, and Tirlan don't want it

"I would smear the bejaysus out of her, simply because you've nothing to lose... you've got to create a fear... in my experience, nothing works like negative campaigning."

They're really openly saying the quiet part out loud now aren't they...🤔

With leaf fall well underway & twigs/branches from storm damage lying near the edge of the road it’s time to remind drivers that bike users will be taking the lanes.
This is national #roadsafety week but our road safety agencies are silent on this hazard.

In the doctor’s waiting room where a tiny baby is nursing. The baby then sits up and does a huge burp and two other women and I (afaik all unknown to mother and baby) in unison go Yaaay!
Parents know.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Have you even been in town on a Saturday if you haven’t seen three lads on one scooter followed by a lad doing a 20 metre wheelie?

🇵🇸 Look at this solidarity! Even more great civil society organisations have endorsed our National Demonstration for Palestine tomorrow. See you at the Garden of Remembrance at 12.30pm, all out for Palestine! #FreePalestine #GazaGenocide 🇵🇸

This is terribly sad - I had the pleasure of meeting Manchán twice and he was a deeply curious, kind and intelligent man. What a loss to Irish language and culture. Thoughts with his family and loved ones. RIP Manchán.

Israel has KIDNAPPED 497 PEOPLE from 46 COUNTRIES from the Global Sumud Flotilla

This is a HUMANITARIAN MISSION, now it has become a global kidnapping by #Israel

A large, printed sign outside a hospital reads ‘THIS IS A NO SMOKING CAMUPS’

That’s exactly my reaction every time I see her

Gl*nner whining that satire is dead while The Daily Tism are out here satirising America into the next century

How to be an ally to disabled / #immunocompromised people:

Wear a mask in public

Don’t minimize the harms of COVID to chronically ill ppl

Don’t minimize harms of COVID to yourself / family / friends

Don’t refer to COVID in the past tense (e.g don’t say “during COVID” if u mean “during lockdown”)

Now ask yourself who they are funding in Ireland. 👍

This has 100% improved my day. Truly delightful.

It really, really isn't. Finland solved the problem almost entirely through Housing First years ago, and they told the Irish government how to do it - the Irish govt just ... didn't bother.

People using the safety of women and girls as an excuse to campaign against marginalised people usually turn out not to care about the safety of women and girls at all. This one, involved in anti-refugee demos in Aberdeen, managed to avoid jail after throwing his then-partner down a set of stairs.

The writers of Wednesday have gone full “What’s that, Lassie, Greengrocer Parson’s boy has fallen down the well with an explosive device, a quart of cyanide and three kittens and can’t get out?” with Thing, and I feel they can do better.

I’m so sorry 💔 Serenity clearly lived a very lovely life with you.

These are the people 'protecting' our women and children.

They are the threat.
