When I turned 18, I was told;
'If you don't use your vote, you lose your right to criticise the government. '
I've never missed a vote!

Anyone who wants to know the full story of why Derry needs, deserves and will have its own university must read @GAHargan's acclaimed investigative history, A Scandal in Plain Sight, available below.
A great Christmas read - indeed, a great read anytime.

.@vincentbrowne called it right from the beginning
Stephen Donnelly spent years bashing Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael until he made the opportunist & careerist move to join them & get a Ministers Merc. #GE24
If there's one person I'd love to see, lose his seat tomorrow. It's Donnelly.

Doing what he does best.
Would've loved to have seen him chair the leaders debate! 😆

Not only did we bail out the banks, @MichealMartinTD
42% of Europe’s banking crisis was paid by Ireland
( not that it affected you personally in anyway )

Housing Minister Alan Dillon denies allegations of corruption involving @FineGael and #CRH
During a recent meeting in a #Westport housing estate severely impacted by #Pyrite, Seamus Maye, founder of the International Small Business Alliance, confronted Minister @Alan_Dillon about the origins of the defective block scandal.
Maye alleged that the cement, concrete, and quarrying sector—dominated and controlled by Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH)—is responsible for the crisis. He pointed to the company's significant influence in the construction materials industry.
CRH, the largest construction materials company globally, reported revenues of $34.9 billion in 2023, underscoring its extensive market reach and financial power.

Part of this included a commitment to release captives.
I just heard the US official blatantly say they couldn't support it as it would not release the hostages.
The US insisted the teeth were taken out of the resolution too by removing any sanctions if Israel didn't abide.
🚨BREAKING🚨
The U.N. 🇺🇳 Security Council voted 14-1 in favor of the resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in the war in Gaza, but it was not adopted because of the U.S. 🇺🇸 veto.

The Donegal launch of Jim Simpson's novel True Colours takes place this Saturday, November 23 (1pm-3pm) at Bookmark in the Letterkenny Shopping Centre.
Jim, who lived in Redcastle before moving into Derry, has already held successful launches across the North West, including at Derry Central Library (chaired by Sue Divin), Strabane Library (@maureenboyle) , U3A Foyle (Felicity McCall), and the Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre (@berniemcgill).
The novel, which is a follow up to Jim's acclaimed short-story collection 'Smokes and Birds', is a political and social satire based in the North West, where Jim has been living since the 1970s.
For more details on Saturday's event, contact @Garbhan_D, Colmcille Press: 00 44 2871 616055/[email protected].

Very interesting slide from last night's TG4 poll.
Three quarters of Donegal people would prefer to avail of cancer treatment in Derry, if given the option.
How does it make sense to continue to separate our two counties?
Why not 🇮🇪 retweeted
The North West - Derry and Donegal - is very much one geographic and societal region.
It only makes sense to to develop it as one economic region too, with an independent, cross-border university as its centrepiece.

Derry was part of County Donegal until 1610, and, up until partition, it was the county's main port, transport hub and centre of commerce. It defies all logic that there should be a political border between the two counties.

Yup! 👏👏👏

This was my night. How was yours?
The sham fighting between Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael isn’t fooling anyone.
Vote to change the government! Vote Sinn Féin 🗳️

This high tech solution to phones in the classroom came in at €13. Has been in operation for 3 years and I estimate that next year and additional €0 will be needed to maintain the service. There was no lobbying from Argos as part of this installation.

'Shame must change sides — from the victims to the perpetrators.'
What an incredible lady!
Gisele Pelicot. 💜
In a heroic move, Gisele Pelicot fought to make public the videos of her unconscious rapes at the hands of over 50 men and won. She wanted the public “to look rape straight in the eyes.” Shame, she said, must change sides —from the victims to the perpetrators.
Police found more than 20,000 videos and photographs of Gisele drugged and being raped by various men on her husband’s devices in a folder titled “Abuse.”
On Friday, the judge complied with Gisele’s demand and showed the evidence “necessary for the manifestation of the truth.”
12 rape videos and 10 photos were shown over the courtroom’s three flat screens and projected into the overflow room for members of the public while the perpetrators in the videos sat in shame watching their own despicable criminal acts being exposed.

Today 50 years ago, Friday 17th May 1974. 34 innocent people murdered. The Irish State and its government needs to step forward now and apologise to the families of the victims for its neglect by ignoring the assassins and their British agents in the years following this atrocity
