Ethical treatment of the Earth and it's life forms. Returning the plants and animals to my land that vanished hundreds of years ago. And who doesn't love dystopian/ sci-fi movies, rothair, trance ceol agus board games. Live long and prosper!

He's very popular in Israel. Most likely due to his Israel First policy.

Proposed restrictions on drones
YouTube video by Oliver Moran Proposed restrictions on drones

Irish Aviation Authority are planning to restrict air space in the city to facilitate a single takeaway-food company.

Everyone else will lose access to the skies they have now, including photographers, tradespeople, volunteers.

Think this is unfair? Have your say today: www.iaa.ie/media/2026/0...

I often wonder, why do women with the power to make a difference still support abusers? 42% of younger women and 49% of older women voted for Trump. Trump's "Grab 'em by the p*ssy" clearly didn't make a huge difference to women.

If, as is likely, the Republic of Ireland are forced to play against Israel in the Nations League in Dublin, then not a single Irish fan should go.
Send a message to both UEFA and the Irish government - if you insist, we will boycott.
Pass the Occupied Territories Bill. Now.

Martin is either really really ignorant about what Israel is doing in Gaza and the West Bank or he's a puppet of the U.S., or he places no value on Palestinian lives. Whichever it is he's a disgrace.

Fact check:
Combining Virginia and New Jersey, we see:

79% of 2024 Trump voters supported the Republican candidate, 2% the Democrat, and 18% supported neither.

When asked for an update on the Occupied Territories Bill, Minister McEntee said she couldn't provide a timeline.

This is beyond frustrating.

This Bill has passed through both the Dáil and Seanad, and unanimously through the Foreign Affairs Committee.

So why is the govt continuing to hold it up?
