To the surprise of absolutely fucking no-one, the MEPs in question are: Regina Doherty, Nina Carberry, Seán Kelly (FG) Barry Andrews, Barry Cowen, Billy Kelleher (FF) Ciaran Mullooly (II) I've said it before - no need for a far-right party in Ireland, as the establishment parties are already there.

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 women

whereas 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

The bulk (80%) of the money the Irish government give to the racing industry is in the form of prize money (ie race winners get the cash), which is an *objectively* an inefficient and unfair way to distribute government subsidies…

We've been trying to buy a house for years and we've seen the prices respond to every "assistive" measure in real time. It doesn't help the buyer. It's a sly way to give more public taxes to developers. The most importan lever to bring prices down long-term is building social housing.

European leaders have been unable to explain why releasing oil reserves just before a risky winter with likely supply disruptions due to the Iran War will help their citizens. They should just be honest: they felt they had no choice but to surrender to 🇺🇸extortion.
