Important meeting today with UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs. Ireland will not forget about Palestine and will continue to stand up for the UN, its representatives, and international law.

Estonia has a population of 1.35 million. It has 90,000 reservists. Ireland has less than 2,000 reservists.
Something very wrong there.

€78k and can't make ends meet...
The answer to the cost of living crisis is not high wages.
its lower taxes:
Lower energy taxes.
Lower employment taxes.
Lower sales taxes.
Lower property taxes.
Lower social taxes etc.
The State is TOO BIG!
Too many Quangos.
Too many State agencies, NGOs and charities.
All staffed with unproductive & unaccountable employees.
The Irish Government is a Monopsony.
The Irish taxpayer is its cash cow.
Its time for a Smaller State!

Well done @ADFIntl
🚨BREAKING: The European Commission has announced that it will WITHDRAW a proposal to criminalise “hate speech” under EU law.
The initiative would have placed “hate speech” and “hate crimes” in the same category as human trafficking, terrorism, drug trafficking and organised crime.
The proposal required unanimous consent, but several member states BLOCKED the initiative in the Council due to free speech concerns.
This is a major victory for freedom of expression. But the battle is not over yet 👇

It was Hungary, Poland, and Czechia who blocked it. Isn't it ironic that Eastern Europe are the ones standing up for free speech. If the Berlin Wall were still up people would be escaping from the West side!

Having failed to make “hate speech” an EU crime, the Commission is considering a “Directive on combating online incitement to violence and hatred”.
⚠️Incitement to violence is already a crime.
“Incitement to hatred” has been used in several countries to prosecute and censor peaceful expression.
The risk is clear: under the guise of “inclusion” and “protection”, the directive would be yet another tool to silence disfavoured views and strengthen the DSA’s online censorship regime.

Pol Pot. This piece of shit killed an estimated 1.7 million Cambodians between 1975 and 1979, somewhere between 25 and 33 percent of the entire population. He did this by applying an ideology to its logical conclusion. Ideology always has a conclusion; socialism's conclusion is death.
The Khmer Rouge abolished money in 1975. Completely. Banks closed. Markets dissolved. Currency became contraband. They then abolished private property, forcibly relocated urban populations to collective farms, and set central planners the task of organizing rice production for the entire nation. The result was predictable: mass starvation beside the rice fields. Planners cannot coordinate production without prices. Prices require private property and voluntary exchange.
Pol Pot studied in Paris during the 1950s, absorbing French Communist Party doctrine and Maoist agrarianism. Western universities provided the intellectual scaffolding for the killing fields. Coercion requires enforcers, tribunals, and eventually mass graves; Cambodia's are at Choeung Ek.
Every collectivist experiment reaches this same point, because central planners cannot solve what free exchange solves automatically every second of every day.

There was €1.2 billion spent on IPAS accommodation last year. The highest paid contractor got €45.55 million. The Plans to make working residents contribute anything toward their stay have been pushed back again, this time to 2027.
The system is wide open, the contractors are cleaning up, and Irish taxpayers keep footing the bill. Where’s the prime time investigates on this RTE ?

NIAMH UÍ BHRIAIN: News that Coimisiún na Meán is grilling two local radio stations was seen as sinister precisely because the cash-rich regulator is seen as far too powerful with a troubling track record on free speech, upholding a complaint for using the phrase 'illegal immigrant'.

Never, ever tolerate Islam.
Never give in to their dietary requirements or accommodate their prayer rituals in the workplace.
A new employee joined our department three months ago. He was a practicing Muslim, and nobody had a problem with his religion. We respected his prayer breaks, accommodated his dietary requirements during office events, and even adjusted meeting schedules when possible. But last Tuesday, things got uncomfortable during a team lunch. One of my colleagues ordered a glass of wine, and he immediately said, “You people should stop drinking. It’s forbidden, and you’re destroying your lives.” Another colleague laughed nervously and replied, “We respect your beliefs, but you can’t decide what everyone else drinks.” He became defensive. “I’m only telling you what is right. If you respected religion, you would understand.” The conversation escalated when he started telling another employee that her clothing was inappropriate and that she should dress more modestly. She finally put down her fork and said, “I come here to do my job, not to be judged by your religious standards.”
