Next Irish president is a likely to preside over preparations for Irish Unity. As potentially the most important constitutional issue of their term, would like to hear candidates discuss Unity and media raise questions and issues during their campaign. #Áras25 #Áras2025 #speirgorm

100s of British joined the IDF, went to Gaza and assisted with the genocide. They returned to Britain and went back about their business, with British Government, police etc. ignoring their crimes. But chasing Kneecap suits their political objectives and helps distraction. #speirgorm #kneecap #gaza

British still flying reconnaissance flights over Gaza to assist Israeli genocide but deflect spotlight by going after Kneecap, who’s crime was to draw attention to Gaza. By the way Belfast is full of UVF flags but you don’t bother about that. #speirgorm #kneecap #gaza apple.news/AyWnYRItOSdO...

My father, UCD graduate, lived in North all his life, regularly received candidate election material & voting forms for Seanad elections. As for venues to vote, there’s 100s of schools & community halls that would be delighted to take part. Difficulties aren’t in the North but with Micheál Martin.

The only leverage he had was to threaten to pull out of the competition. Instead, by announcing that he won’t, before even commencing discussions, demonstrates that that this is just a penurious public relations exercise. #speirgorm #eurovision #ireland

Good thing about RAF fly past is that it leaves fewer aircraft to airlift bombs into Tel Aviv. Interesting all these people in uniform on the balcony with high ranks, lots of ribbons and medals, who have never served anywhere in combat.

First Canada, now Australia electing centre left Governments in a snub to the politics of Trump. English Council & Bye elections however buck the trend reflecting the underlying British love of military and ‘strength’ abroad but are assured their media (and history teachers) will hide it from them.

Irish Unity would upset stranglehold Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael have had on Politics for past 100 years. Their unwillingness to face issue is based purely on self interest and preservation of their gripe on power. It’s why Micheal Martin and vested interests like Irish Times oppose it so vigorously.

A northerner should run in the Irish presidential election as a reminder of the abject failure of consecutive governments to give Irish citizens in the North a vote in presidential elections. We can run for the office of the president, but we can't vote for our president.

Yesterday, British soldiers that murdered captured IRA men at Clonoe were officially exonerated. Irish Government are still acquiescing to British power and assisting in the implementation of double standards. But then Northern Nationalists never mattered to Irish Gov. #speirgorm #ireland

Physiologically it’s emotionally important to Northern Nationalists as nothing would formally recognise our Irishness as much as a Presidental vote. It won’t happen. Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael feel position is largely in their gift and fear thousands of Northerners voting for a Sinn Fein President.

As Irish citizen living in Co. Armagh, who considers self solely Irish, who has been subject to others trying to deride and deprive me of my citizenship, concept of voting for largely ceremonial president would mean a great deal. Additionally certainly don’t consider myself part of any diaspora.

Last time Canada was invaded from United States it was actually by …..eh…the Irish. Fenian Brotherhood, made up of Civil War veterans, invaded what was then British Canada in 1871. Intended to hold Canada to ransom in exchange for Irish Freedom. Unfortunately didn’t succeed. #ireland #speirgorm

As demonstrated by treatment of Jeremy Corbyn, Britain will only be given a choice between ‘red’ austerity or ‘blue’ austerity. Essentially a byproduct of First Past The Post system that ensures establishment privileges and control are never under threat.

Northern Ireland doesn’t work. So long as principle party of Unionism engages in what is fundamentally sectarianism, it never will. Principle party of Unionism will always engage in sectarianism because reason for Northern Ireland’s existence is de facto Unionist supremacy. #speirgorm #ireland

British will only permit Ireland to rearm and acquire a minimum level of military capability if they believe that any Irish forces will be in alliance with and subservient to British military. Under Micheal Martin, British expectations will be assured.

This is duplicate of British Labour Party strategy that returned them to Government. It isn’t designed to appeal to its existing base, who will vote for them anyway but to rich in control of levers of power, reassuring them they have little to fear from Democratic President, as little will change.
