I just signed to stop Italy from capping "foreign" children at 30% per class. Kids could be moved away from their friends because of their passport. Parliament can still delete it. Add your name. They’re taking signatures from all over Europe. action.wemove.eu/sign/2026-10...

Would like to see a journalist ask the 7 of Ireland's 14 MEPs (3 FG, 3 FF, 1 II) who just voted to: -endorse burqa bans -call "hatred of Israel" a sign of "Islamist influence" -identify European Muslim communities as potential tools of "malign foreign actors" to justify themselves
Believes that the practice of concealing the face in public spaces and premises open to the public poses an unacceptable challenge to public security, identification and effective law enforcement; supports, therefore, all national measures aimed at prohibiting full-face coverings (niqab or burqa) in public spaces and premises open to the public as a necessary step to ensure social cohesion, public safety and the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, in particular womenwhereas separatist narratives, systematic victimhood, antisemitism, anti-Christian hatred, hatred of Israel, conspiracy narratives, challenges to secularism, the use of religion as a tool of social control or the contestation of equality between women and men may constitute markers of ideological radicalisation or Islamist influence;whereas the ongoing investigations into suspected electoral fraud in Borlänge and Järva, Sweden, illustrate the particular vulnerability of diaspora communities to organised attempts at electoral influence; whereas such vulnerabilities may be exploited by malign foreign actors or transnational ideological networks pursuing covert agendas

Joining Schengen is a no-brainer but it won't happen because of lack of political will. Same as switching to permanent summer time. Apparantly we can't have 2 timezones because it would be confusing to cross the border. Doesn't seem to bother Spain and Portugal any 🤷‍♂️

Denmark has a legal opt-out of the Euro. Other countries have to meet certain criteria before being allowed to join it. Countries can negotiate to join it or not. Personally I like being in the Euro - makes travel much easier - before you say I'm against it also.

I didn't say it wasn't good - it is. Ireland also opted out. Are we trying to undermine the rest of the EU based on that logic? Cyprus also hasn't joined yet although obliged to at some point. Bulgaria and Romania also took years to join Schengen.

The genocide of the Palestinian people is not an "opinion" - it is fact. You are either against that genocide, or you support and accept it by playing against Israel. This is not hard.
Screenshot of part of an article that says:
Asked if it was fair to say there were vastly differing opinions among his men over the Israel tie, Hallgrimsson said: "All I can say is I think we are all uncomfortable, number one.

"Number two, we have different opinions, and we should allow people to have different opinions. It’s not one opinion that’s right and all the others are wrong.

Former Irish Minister for Justice Alan Shatter has just walked into the press box here in the stadium. His name was on the media list on behalf of the Jerusalem Post', and the 75-year-old has been very outspoken on his pro-Israel views regarding the current confleit in Gaza.

This week we learned that the Irish government has proposed weakening Europeans citizens' fundamental right to privacy to favour AI companies. We also learned this week that 83% of Irish people under 25 want stronger government regulation of AI. Who *exactly* does our government work for?
AI: EU Member States plan "digital expropriation" of Europeans in the interest of Al companies
Artificial Intelligence / 21 September 2026
In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAl, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data "in the context of Al" should automatically be lawful.
There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens "in the context" of Al. Schrems: "Under these proposals, the profits of Al companies would trump European's fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans." All this is happening despite the key figures of Al corporations actively warn about the enormous risks associated with their own products.Transport costs and mental health also remain prominent concerns.
More than seven in ten adults believe Al will make it harder for young people to find secure employment over the next five years, while 83% support stronger government regulation of Al.
Just 17% of young adults said they believe the Government is doing enough to support them through the cost-of-living crisis.
"These findings should serve as a wake-up call," said Grace McManus, Policy and Campaigns Manager at NYCI.
"Too many young people feel that the chance to build a secure and independent life is slipping out of reach," Ms McManus said.
The polling was conducted by RED C, which surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,010 adults, including a cohort aged 18-24.

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

If reports are true that Irish players are being threatened that they'll never play for US owned clubs in the UK if they pull out of the Israel game, then that's a great argument for getting US money out of European football.

How grim and predictable from faceless agents who profit in the background.
