I have Irish ancestry, blood, heritage going back centuries.
I am NO more Irish than a girl born to African parents in Ireland.
Ethnic purity is all makey-up bullshit - the ideology of insecure inadequates.
There should be an emergency mechanism whereby an electorate - in this case Ireland South - can recall an MEP for grossly misrepresenting them. Perhaps triggered by a petition signed by an agreed level of that electorate.
The Irish MEP Mick Wallace stated that Ukraine must start peace negotiations and said that this is “Zelensky’s forever war.”
He pretends that he cares about Ukrainians but it seems that he wouldn’t have a problem with another 100 Bucha Massacres.
Pauw always strenuously defended her players - but not one has come out now to even say thank you. This team will find public goodwill in short supply from now on.
Irish politician Richard Boyd Barrett on the streets of Dublin today: Israel is a "filthy colonial regime"... we must "resist it, bring it down." The only answer, he says, is

Sinn Féin cannot be trusted to manage their own finances, file correct statutory declarations, or pay bills to venues and businesses.
They would wreck the economy.
Thousand of years ago I met an old school friend in a night club and warned him that loon he used to date years previously was standing right behind him.
It was their engagement party.
Today, I wrote about my lockdown project, to catalogue all of my 'Larry David Moments', the times in my life when I experienced extreme discomfort or excruciating embarrassment. And so, with toes already curling, here goes - a thread of the twenty publishable ones...
He firebombed and murdered an innocent young mother in front of her child.
The fact it happened is horrendous enough. Fact Sinn Fein still glorifies such depravity is chilling.
A third of votes think it’s fine though.
Totally fed up with this hysteria now!!

Sinn Féin was founded on this day 1905.
We are the largest party in Ireland today, every single one of Ireland's 32 counties is represented by an elected Sinn Féin representative.
Unity has never been closer.

McElwee burned a mother to death in front of her young son because she was Protestant - and still today Sinn Fein venerates him as a patriot.
How could anyone vote for them?.
Proud to join the family, friends & comrades of Thomas McElwee 🇮🇪to mark his 42nd anniversary.
“Remember, Thomas was only 23 years old when he died. Despite the adversities that he faced, he was filled with hope & aspiration; ambitious for himself, this community, & the future.”

Understandable but a quick trawl will show you that the vast, vast majority of Irish people have been moved, respectful and not a little sad. Her 2011 visit here left a lasting impression. We have our recidivist knuckle draggers, of course … which country doesn’t?

This teacher explains how she takes pride in being very open about her sexuality, but isn’t sure how to explain to her students that she is in a polyamorous relationship.
Luke O’Neill dismissive of AZ shutdown in Ireland. Says NIAC ignoring the science and putting vulnerable at risk.
That’s good enough for me.
@PatKennyNT
Puzzle me this.
100,000 protested in Dublin against Iraq war in 2003.
Whatever about morality of invasion, Iraq was clearly barbaric totalitarian regime.
Now a sovereign, democratic European state is on cusp of Russian invasion and not a peep from Left. Streets empty.
Anyone?

Shameful racist bilge ... shades of 19th Punch at is most anti-Irish and anti- Catholic. Low point for a consistently great cartoonist. Embarrassed for you.

A cynical, meaningless soundbite shamelessly exploiting tragedy and grief.
From a party that to this day honours men who buried women in unmarked graves.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has called for political action to eliminate violence against women. Taoiseach Micheál Martin agreed, saying a national strategy is currently being worked on | Read more:

Luke O’Neill is everywhere ... but it’s still not enough.
What a wonderful antidote to the constant droning of the ultras, miserabilists, puritans, banshees and witch-hunters.
@RadioBrendanRTE
Simon Harris has undoubted ability and is hugely ambitious - but Paschal Donohue will appeal to the sort of traditional FG voter tired of the party’s endless virtue surfing and culture war preening. Unflappable, capable - could be the man, post referenda debacle.
Riddle me this: if 65% favour mandatory mask-wearing indoors why don’t 65% voluntarily wear mask indoors?
The only thing this survey shows is that people say one thing, do another and blame the government for the difference.

Neutrality is embedded within out constitution, but since you think you are more Irish than me you should know that.... right?
Fraction of Trinity students vote in union elections, tinier fraction elected this guy. Tinier number again involved here. Scants tents about Fellows Square would suggest fewer than 50. Of a student population of the 19,000 students that’s 0.263%. This ain’t Columbia.
Recognition of the State of Palestine is reflective of the overwhelming solidarity Ireland has for the Palestinian people.
The Israeli ambassador has been recalled following the move.

Shameful displays of colonial arrogance towards China should be left in the past. The issue is simple. Do we want to be a vassal of our Atlantic friends, or have peaceful, independent relations with our largest trading partner, which hasn't dropped a bomb on anyone in 40 years?
What makes the headline fascinating is that it never crossed the sub editor’s mind that NI also referred to Northern Ireland and might be confusing for readers. Truth is nobody in Britain - least of all Torygraph regulars - ever give North a thought.
Sinn Fein celebrates a Provo who exploded a bomb on a London double decker bus in 1996.
How could any democrat in conscience voter for these people?
Answer is you can’t.
"Don't you dare lecture me" There have been tense clashes in the Dáil, between Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald, over the rising cost of living and housing.
The IRA blew the Pillar up on March 8, 1966. Romanticised now, but the original bomb had been set to go off at 4pm, resulting in absolute carnage on O’Connell Street. Lovely.
So big house Irish Protestants / Anglo Irish were 'the enemy' by virtue of the their religion and class? Naked sectarianism - ethnic cleansing justified by someone who decorates their account with Amnesty logo.🙄

‘Our’ defence forces? But Sinn Fein openly and continuously gives its allegiance and pays homage to another ‘Óglaigh na hÉireann.’ Confusing.
Virtue signalling from the Morality Police.
Has anyone, anywhere, ever who turned down a decent pay deal?
Tubridy either did something unethical or illegal - or didn’t.
Clearly he didn’t.
"Yes, the salary is enormous, I understand that, but that doesn't affect my soul," says Ryan Tubridy, when asked by Senator Marie Sherlock if his integrity has been damaged.
