Even Macron has now said that the attacks on Iran were "conducted outside the bounds of international law". And still, the Irish government cannot bring itself to acknowledge this reality. Cowards who are morally compromised by their subservience to the US. Shameful.

"- Ban all flavour descriptors and language other than basic flavour names for vapes

- Limit flavours in nicotine inhaling products to tobacco"

if they're banning flavours other than tobacco, surely there won't be any flavour names? they'll all be tobacco?

Fourteen households served with eviction notices from Killarney homes owned by investment fund One tenant moved to Killarney from Cork because of the housing shortage there.

not sure what Simon Harris is suggesting by calling the Wexford evictions "peculiar", but they're not really. and I don't recall James Browne saying he "won't stand for" this mass eviction, but then, this one isn't happening in his constituency

Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

How quick thinking saved lives after Army chaplain stabbed by teenage boy in Galway Private Ciara Shanahan, Pte Dylan Geraghty and Cpl Daniel Padden describe their experience at Renmore Barracks during the attack on Fr Paul Murphy

“I thought: ‘Right, we’re going to have to use lethal force to stop the attack,’” Geraghty said.

The soldiers aimed their rifles at the attacker.

“Then, just at the last second, a thought popped into my head,” he recalled.

I don't feel like posting, but I see once again the nonsense that immigrants treated better in the criminal justice system is lumbering on. Barristers argue and judges consider mitigating factors for most people, it's just for Irish it's not gonna be language etc. have you not ever sat tru a hearing

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

the problem is that David Icke both sincerely believes in the lizard people *and* thinks that a lot of Jews work for the lizard people.

he's not an antisemite pretending to be a crazy person, he's a crazy person who is also an antisemite.

I've seen what German police do to protesters regularly, at literally no provocation. If the AfD came to power, began trying to loosen the guardrails on German democracy, provoking backlash - does anyone here really believe police wouldn't violently suppress those protests the way they do others?

I'd encourage people in all countries to consider how enthusiastically the police in the US are participating in the repression of democracy in that country and ask yourself how much you belive your country's police are really that different

almost a dozen members of our government will be in the US soon, our Taoiseach palling around with the admin slaughtering civilians to impose its will on sovereign states, while a minister attends the NYC Paddy's Day Parade just a couple of miles from MDC Brooklyn, where Maduro awaits his show trial

what does the Irish government understand international law to mean if the unprovoked US attacks on Venezuela and Iran – with the kidnapping of a head of state in one case and the murder of a head of state in the other – do not clearly violate it?

Trump’s 2016 criticism of the Iraq war was the US didn’t do enough war crimes. He argued that the US should’ve stolen oil and killed insurgents’ innocent family members.

That’s what some prominent media figures presented to the public as isolationist, anti-intervention, anti-war, “Donald the Dove.”

quite apart from the environmental risks of the proposed LNG reserve in the Shannon Estuary, I remain very unconvinced it is in Ireland's security interests to have a huge ship full of explosive material floating in the middle of our second largest port

there are lots of reasons people can have difficulty filling out a ballot

Yes, I 100% believe every civilian death is bad... unless you live in one of the bad countries that I don't like and then I think you should be violently war crimed

This is what 90% of social media, regardless of location or political affiliation, sounds like to me during every war

the caption on this video actually makes it pretty clear that "family voting" is an ideological crusade for Democracy Volunteers. it is a real and problematic phenomenon in all democracies, but I can't imagine thinking it's "the greatest threat to a free and fair vote"!

I imagine they don't do that because if they did, it would be harder to produce reports full of inflated figures

they usually take around two months to produce their election observation reports

they seem to declare there's been significant family voting in every election they've monitored, but no one gave a shit until this time

American liberal accounts calling it the Epstein War, do you have the capacity to think about anything other than yourselves for just one fucking minute? Not everything needs to be a Democratic branding exercise, my god

Statement by President Connolly following strikes on Iran

president.ie/en/media-lib...

As President of Ireland, may I join with all those who have expressed such grave concern following today's strikes on Iran by the United States and Israel, and Iran's retaliatory strikes in the region. The normalisation of war, including the invasion at will of sovereign states, is a path that only leads to destruction and loss of life. As the Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres has said, today’s escalation undermines international peace and security with severe potential consequences for civilians and regional stability. All possible steps must be taken to avoid a further escalation in the region. I call on all sides to immediately return to diplomacy and negotiation in line with the principles of international law and the UN Charter. I welcome the support of Irish embassies and missions in the region who are working to support Irish citizens at a time when their safety and welfare will be of immediate concern to all those with friends and family living in the region.

‘Not for you’: Israeli shelters exclude Palestinians as bombs rain down Shelters are a lifeline in Israel from Iranian attacks, but Palestinian citizens of the country have been locked out.

At the shelter door, she said, an Israeli resident, having heard her speak Arabic, blocked their entry – and shut it in their faces.
