In English we say “Dear Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr.” because we’re conditioned to think of people in terms of gender or status. In Irish we say “A chara” because interactions, even with strangers, are rooted in the assumption of friendship. Gaeilge > Béarla

Dreadful situation on the @Luas . A passenger who had paid his €2 fare on a bus and didn’t know he had to revalidate when changing to the Luas (fare already included in the €2) was issued a fine, had his card confiscated, and ticket-inspectors refused to even give their details

As a citizen of the Irish state, I am appalled that my government is refusing to recognise the significance of Irish republicans, seeking reunification, winning an election in a place designed to discriminate against Irish identity and nationhood. Other world leaders have done so

Waterford’s Gaeltacht is a small rural community of <2000 people. Against all odds over 1/4 still speak Irish daily there outside school. Dumping unaffordable houses on them as holiday homes for well-off English monoglots is not an answer to the housing crisis, it’s linguicide.

@Luas Hi Sabrina, this is not made clear at stops, and could have been resolved in this case by letting the passenger tag on at the next stop. Why is that not standard practice? It seems like a scam to get as many fines as you can by having a rule you don’t tell people about

How is this allowed. Not only is the Gaeltacht Minister @jackfchambers refusing to allow Irish be the working language of the new Advisory Committee to plan the provision of Irish language services, now he’s suggesting members might need special allowance to speak Irish at it 😡

The President of the European Commission has no authority to make up foreign policy on behalf of the EU. She and Várhelyi have undermined the careful balance of powers between institutions and member states enshrined in the Treaties. Their positions are no longer tenable.

DUP: boycotts and therefore collapses N/S Ministerial meetings UUP: pretends it never made commitment to irish language rights SF: calls leaders of all parties to meet & deliver on commitments SDLP: “SF and DUP are engaged in student politics” 🥴 I know the approach I prefer

I actually can’t get over the EU Commission, without any evidence, deciding the thing to blame for violence on our streets was… the Irish language. Straight out of the British Empire playbook. Needless, gratuitous, baseless smearing of a colonised minority. We can’t accept it

The Labour Party, standing for nothing else, now aims to be the political wing of Irish Independent columnists. No big surprise to see anti-Gaeilge policy from a TD who once branded Irish speakers “the Taliban” and refused to apologise. Best ignored. Read Connolly. Gaeilge abú.

I haven’t heard media ask Peadar about the most egregious case of nepotism I’ve ever seen - he openly plans to step down as MEP if elected and hand our MEP seat to his sister.

@MariaWalshEU @sinnfeinireland @MaryLouMcDonald Can @MariaWalshEU clarify why she is intent on maintaining EU support for Israel’s genocide by keeping her party leader in the top job? You’ve moved on from voting for migrants to drown to endorsing pro-genocide EU leadership.

What parties are collectively responsible for the financial crash and ensuing austerity that gutted public services and created housing, health & cost of living crises? Clue: They’ve forged an alliance on Dublin City Council to increase austerity-era tax and keep Sinn Féin out.

Utter madness. Sinn Féin tried to end geoblocking and ensure all island access to public service broadcasting during debate on the Online Safety & Media Regulation Bill, but the government was not interested. You can’t have a shared Ireland with partitioned media. #GFA25
