Social Democrat TD for Dublin Central 💜

The FAI repeatedly told us players would be protected. Yet when a 24 year old acted on his conscience, they left him to stand alone & used a vote among his teammates to validate their own cowardice. This isn’t protecting a young player, it’s protecting themselves at his expense. #StopTheGame

The manner in which the Government rammed through the International Protection Bill is being condemned even by former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar- performative cruelty no doubt, but also extremely disrespectful to the legislative process. www.thetimes.com/world/irelan...

Gov’s International Protection Bill is flawed; we share a Common Travel Area with Britain, yet there is no workable returns mechanism. That leaves us legislating for detention, including that of children. It would be irresponsible to press ahead with such serious gaps in the law.

Hundreds of thousands of vile sexualised non-consensual images of women and children have been created by Grok, X’s AI tool. This isn't just horrifying – it's illegal. The Govt response to this has been muted and confusing. When will X be prosecuted?

How do they get away with this stuff? They’re either purposefully misleading, or just blatantly ignorant to the facts. Family reunification accounts for less than 1% of inward migration to Ireland. It just means a traumatised person gets to be with their spouse or child while they restart their life
