Myles na gCup O'Lean.

He's a third-generation blueshirt, with multiple relatives who've been FG elected representatives, whose chief achievement has been to turn a landslide election victory into a poll rating *exactly* like that of Fine Gael and in similarly-record-time. He has literally turned UK Labour into FG.

Wondering which Irish political party gives Morgan McSweeney a job first.

Oooh! I absolutely admire your ingenuity!

Context from the Wikipedia entry for Beaufort's Dyke here:

Uniquely for this sort of Walter-Mitty type proposal the fact it involves construction in Beaufort's Dyke isn’t even the most.... explosive... aspect here.

Revealed: Private jet owned by Trump friend used by ICE to deport Palestinians to West Bank Exclusive: Luxury aircraft owned by property tycoon close to US president’s family has twice flown Palestinian men from Arizona to Tel Aviv

Obscene, the Irish government facilitating the US government and ICE in the illegal deportation of Palestinians. These men were held in shackles on a private plane owned by a friend of Trump through Shannon Airport. Our government must answer to this

The government is gonna look themselves in the mirror, take a deep breath and tell themselves 'we gotta get more racist'

Evergreen tweet that.

Trapped in the lashing rain sheltering in a series of increasingly crowded southside boozers, every face as anxious a face as I recall seeing since 2008, fixed on a tv screen showing supine Irishmen, each having eggshaped balls extracted from them by burly French proctologists

Certain of those particular highnesses have done much to accelerate that trend, it must be said.

Fascinating to note that, in Thailand at least, an increase in monogamy has led to a decrease in serenity.

I was knocked off my bike in broad daylight by a driver who I suspect was texting. The Gardaí wouldn’t attend the scene (because I wasn’t hurt enough) and didn’t respond to my Traffic Watch report. The issue isn’t hi-vis jackets.

Zuckerberg went to the Twisted Pepper one time when I was doing a gig there. All his mates and handlers wanted him to come down to the basement but he wouldn't leave the wee sweatbox we were playing in.

Say what you like about Trump's mental capacity but he clearly has all the intellect and the political instincts that Ireland requires of its ministers for housing.

I guess I'm not a podcaster, but is it actually possible in reality to avoid hearing opinions you disagree with? This is one of those fears I never understood.

Never forget that @finegael.bsky.social MEPs voted for this, to the jubilation of the European far right.
May they never know a moment's peace, and may their dreams be forever haunted by those their votes helped to drown.

Thinking about this for…oh, no reason

Big love x

A British soldier once used his gun to furiously knock out a tray of chips my uncle was carrying and eating after a night out in Newry, because no chippy in the town would serve them - sincerely hope no ICE officer is able to enjoy a treat for the rest of their days in their locality

This feels like the international politics equivalent of when a video game boss's weak point starts to glow and flash.

devastating news for the price conscious luxury wine market

Think how bad it must have been for the White House.

Gardaí investigated how Irish Times reporter learned of domestic violence charge against member Initial reporting into Garda Trevor Bolger case in led to journalist being questioned about sources

And the guards actually even went after the journalist who first reported that this thug had been charged. WTF.

‘I’ll handcuff myself to Leinster House if he doesn’t lose his job,’ says ex-wife of garda who assaulted her Margaret Loftus says ex-husband Bolger was able to exert power over her to point of sentencing, including censoring her victim-impact statement

How absolutely fucked up that this abuser was allowed to censor a victim impact statement. Thankfully now the whole country knows about it.

The years of injustice, including the promotion of this man AFTER the disclosure of abuse. They even gave him a GUN.

But he's a great lad, trains the U12s 🤯

Menty b seems to really be gathering steam though, which is good because anything that replaces "throwing a paddy" deserves its success.

Not sure if it's has a name, but when the Tories briefly floated introducing mandatory state conscription it was barely twenty minutes before I saw it called "natty serves".

The Nobel Peace Prize becoming so prestigious that wars are fought over a head of state coveting it is some real monkey paw stuff for Alfred Nobel.
