Serious allegations were made in the Seanad.
Every time we report one of these polls, the comments on Facebook and Twitter and other social media platforms are the same: “fake poll”, or “they didn’t poll me”, or words to that effect. And that is understandable, nobody likes to be in the minority, or feel the country is against them. Least of all, […]
Independent TD for Laois Offaly Carol has accused Sinn Féin of speaking out of both sides of its mouth when it comes to the government’s Climate Action Bill. The legislation, which seeks to achieve zero carbon emissions bu 2050, has been described as a measure that will “kill off the Irish farmer” according to rural […]
This morning, the hashtag #LeoTheleak is trending on social media. The Shinbots were up early then. Yesterday, or the day before, it was #Shinners or something wearily familiar, because, as we all know, Fine Gael are now well able to take the fight to the enemy on Twitter. It’s all mostly so trite and nauseatingly […]
How seriously, you might ask, should we take this? https://twitter.com/RepKevinBoyle/status/1391746352888025090 The answer, alas, is not very seriously at all.

One can reasonably expect harsh austerity measures are not far away after this year of largesse however, as the country mimics a bi-polar dog going back to its vomit.
Like her or loathe her, Arlene Foster has had an uncanny ability to survive the minefield of Stormont politics.
It’s a long-held political axiom among nationalists in the north that the demographic trend would eventually put Sinn Féin in power in Northern Ireland. Because Catholics tended to have larger families they would eventually outvote unionists, or so it was commonly believed. This, of course, contributed to the sectarian violence and terrorism of unionist militias, from […]
Photo Credit: Sinn Féin Flickr (CC attribution) Over the last week, Sinn Fein and its legion of online activists have gone to war with the Irish Independent’s Philip Ryan, who has diligently and thoroughly reported on the party’s “Abú” voter contact logging system. The story has divided people: If you’re a Sinn Fein supporter, then […]
What’s ironic about this, of course, is that the apology is for the killing of Lord Mountbatten, who, as Lord High Admiral and First Sea Lord, was probably a legitimate military target, if you subscribe to the view that the IRA was fighting a war, as McDonald presumably does.
