So frustrating. Especially that you had to follow up yourself to find out. I hope things go more smoothly from here

That's awful. I'm so sorry

This will be used to victim blame, and deny court cases.

Micheál Martin has posted photos of schoolchildren on X twice since this controversy began

🗣️ “You’ve spoken about this ban twice now tonight — speaking of its benefits and speaking in terms of it being an inherent good — and I am wondering where you’ve gotten that messaging from,” — Elaine Burke, host of For Tech’s Sake podcast

It’s 2028 and all pedestrians are mandated by law to wear hi vis clothes at all times. Black north face jackets are illegal. Black mascara has been outlawed and replaced with neon. Drivers are still watching tiktok and saying didn’t see you there pal.

What a wildly stupid idea.

Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes.

That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.

Why won't the government answer a simple question?

It's yes or no? Is there a criminal investigation into X itself?

This government is more concerned about being viewed favourably by Big Tech than protecting the public.

We must stop these harmful tools being used to produce horrific content.

The Soc Dems today launched a new proposal for the creation of a State Construction Company.

It could deliver homes at the scale required to solve Ireland’s deepening housing crisis.

This would be a gamechanger after decades of failed housing policy by successive governments.

We’re in a housing emergency because we’re not building enough affordable homes.

It’s time for a State Construction Company, and the Social Democrats have a plan to make it happen.

Public homes, public jobs, real delivery - just like we did before.

Today, Paul Murphy said that the Government are afraid to stand up to big tech, and Micheál Martin replied "How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? That is a reprehensible assertion."

Also took the opportunity to discuss the Dutch 'Room for the River' approach to flood management, and yes, the Dutch know a thing or two about staying dry in a country much of which is below sea level.

YES! ⬇️

Tons of good examples of restoring and connecting floodplains - just not in Ireland.

While the Neanderthal guys like Fitzmaurice have all the influence nothing is gonna change in Ireland till the money for concrete pouring runs out.

The Dutch would be laughing at us.

You couldn’t make this up.
Well, with this government you could.

FF TD detected at 190km/h convicted of dangerous driving Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill has been convicted of dangerous driving after a court heard he was driving at over 190km/h on a motorway last March.

Fianna Fáil TD Michael Cahill claimed he was driving at 190km/h because he was eager to facilitate a meeting with the parents of children with profound disabilities.

Last week he voted against providing disabled people with an emergency winter payment of €400.

And his party chose to mandate hi viz and helmets for the most vulnerable on the roads rather than addressing the real cause of injuries and fatalities.
When will we learn as a country to vote in our collective best interests rather than against them?

the absolute unmitigated GALL of the man

who the fuck keeps voting for these absolute melters?

Don’t racing car drivers have to wear helmets (& protective clothing)?

Was he wearing a helmet?

Would it make sense for all drivers of cars capable of breaking national speeding limits to wear helmets & protective clothing on all trips?

Israel continues to murder with impunity while European leaders talk about the progress of the Gaza peace agreement.

There is no peace; last night, at least 21 Palestinians were killed in attacks by the Israeli Defence Forces, including several children.

@patriciastephenson.bsky.social

Helmets and hi-viz for bike riders though.

Seriously, fuck every single one of them.

I just cannot with Fianna Fáil.

They’re everything that’s wrong with this country.

Tony Murray * Admin • 1h • Tune into NewsTalk today at 1.00pm for interview with a number of parents from BWE

Tony Murray is on newstalk right now talking about the nightmare facing disabled adults when we parents die

#Disability #BeforeWeDie

Call me cynical, but it seems more likely that he was eager to avoid pissing off his party colleague at that meeting by being late.
I cant help feeling he tried to use our collective solidarity with Ireland's disabled community as a shield against full accountability. Despicable. 3/3 #spéirgorm

Are we to believe he'll break the law to "help" disabled people but we won't break ranks with his party?
Is his passion for aiding Ireland's disabled community so great that he would risk disabling, or killing other road users just to hear from them?
If so, why vote against helping? #spéirgorm 2/3

15 yrs ago & it seems only yesterday that Conor Hickey was killed in Cabra. Two young boys from Gaelscoil Bharra were knocked down and killed in a 2 yr period on Faussagh & nothing has been done to make the road safer. The school, teachers, families & community are still paying the price. #SpeirGorm
