46 years ago when my parents got married they couldn't afford a wedding album. Negatives got lost over time but I eventually managed to track them down so my Mam finally gets the wedding album she always wanted and never had for Xmas #HappyMam

Military aged male beats Irish woman unconscious in an unprovoked attack and the Irish Far Right remain silent because they are misogynistic arseholes who are deeply racist and simply don’t care what men do to women as long as they are white.

200 jobs hang in the balance, the very future of Irish Football is up in the air and the Minister of Sport jokes about it. It’s this kind of political indifference which allowed the @FAIreland get into the mess it is in today.

For the sake of Irish Football, for the sake of the domestic league & as a passionate #LOI fan, IMO the current Board of the @FAIreland are the greatest obstacle to a vibrant, successful and attractive league. The 20 #LOI clubs must be to the fore in demanding regime change.

No side are now saying ‘hard cases’ of rape & FFA should be addressed & we can do this without repealing the 8th. This is not true, I sat on the Oireachtas Ctte and believe me if it was possible to deal with rape and FFA while retaining the 8th the Ctte would have recommended it

The continued failure of the two dominant political parties in the North to agree restoration of Government is bitterly disappointing.  Politics is supposed to be about governing. The people are being badly let down. Detachment of both governments over last 6 years not helpful.

Getting tired of @MaryButlerTD saying ‘up to 12 weeks you can get an abortion for no reason’! There’s always a reason Mary, usually tragic reasons including rape and incest! #8thRef

If ever one needed proof that this Government lacks the leadership needed to adequately deal with the welfare of the very citizens they are entrusted to look after then this letter highlights it. #CervicalCheckScandal

Watched the Kanye West presidential launch a while ago and I’ll be honest, I’m worried for the guys mental health. Wearing a bullet proof vest he broke down crying several times, clearly distressed and in mental anguish. It was quite disturbing to see...1/2

The answer is simple, because the Government you're a member of allows it and won't enact laws to make it unlawful! @ReginaDo

. @Farrell_Mairead cutting through the Government spin re #Budget2022 The tone, delivery and vision of her speech is spot on, it’s shows what a SF Minister in a Government of change would deliver.
