Sports-mad foodie keen on current affairs, community, democracy, integrity of the female category & free speech. Celebrate the elderly.
- Ireland voted. The EU didn’t like Ireland’s answer so it's asking for a rerun of the Mother in the Home referendum Less democracy, more manipulation
- Imagine your 12-yr-old daughter training for yrs only to be told a boy can now share her pitch, her changing room, her sport @LadiesFootball enables this @OfficialCamogie allows it now “case by case” The Govt & @officialgaa are ignoring her And redefining what inclusion means
- So many questions go unasked & unanswered in this country? Why are 18 @FineGael TDs departing stage left Why did Varadkar not finish out this term as Taoiseach with only a few more months to go Why did Heather Humphreys resign as party deputy a few weeks out from election
- It’s frightening how many, because they dislike the Burkes, believe silencing a young student in this incredibly heavy-handed manner is acceptable. In a civilised democracy, that should alarm us all, whatever our views.Enoch Burkes younger brother is removed by Gardai for trying to ask presidential hopeful Catherine Connolly about his brother. So much for Catherine Connolly supporting free speech. #spoilyourvote #SpoilTheVote2025
00:00 - This language isn’t only absurd, it’s profoundly disrespectful to women. It undermines truth, blurs reality & to make matters worse, the public is footing the bill for it, in more ways than one.A UK trans woman, who used her frozen sperm to have a baby with her wife, has been granted permission to bring a High Court challenge against a refusal by the State to grant Irish citizenship to the child on the basis that she is not the biological mother rte.ie/news/courts/20…
- Imagine being in the position to save a child’s life & doing nothing Then vanishing from public view, silent & invisible Thats a horrendous legacy for any politician God give strength to Harvey’s family Suaimhneas síoraí air May conscience be restored to those who've lost it
- 97 Irish cases of monkey pox is headline news @rtenews 55,000 Meath kids on dental waiting lists is not Nor the 4.5k kids awaiting a mental health appmt Nor the 1000s of kids awaiting a psychological assessment Nor the torture parents have 2 endure to get care for a child
- Ireland has long been lauded as a source of a well educated & skilled workforce Talk to any 2nd level teacher, they'll outline the dumbing down in recent yrs of the curriculum, the cut in hrs of core subject learning only to be replaced with 100s of wellbeing hrs Whose wellbeing?
- Hard to watch & to believe this So few journos ask anything resembling a hard question, the stranglehold on free speech ever tightening But when a journo does his job, the Taoiseach & Tánaite gather up their notes in pre-agreed unison & show their contempt Arrogance unparalleledIGNORED: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar walks out of a press briefing as @Ben_Scallan is mid-sentence asking about government ministers spreading referendum misinformation.
00:00 - Can @NormaFoleyTD1 be brought before an Oireachtas Cmte next wk to explain the reasoning behind the SPHE curriculum for children, yes children aged 12-15. Can she explain why she ignored the bulk of submissions from the public And why nobody is calling stop to this materialEvery parent in the country needs to see this! They are showing pornagraphic material to your kids. This is absolutely vile @NormaFoleyTD1 and you should resign.
- 24 out of 40 Meath cllrs voted on my motion today 9 were brave enough to support it, 1 abstained & @FineGael & @fiannafailparty cllrs present, voted for trans-identifying males to remain playing in @ladies football Disappointing but not surprising People are afraid to speak outTomorrow Monday, at my full council meeting, I'm calling on my 39 fellow cllrs to support my motion asking @meathcoco to call on @LadiesFootball to reverse its trans policy for the sake of safety & fairness for young girls & women on & off the field
