🚨📝PETITION: EXTEND RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS FOR IRISH CITIZENSHIP TO 30 YEARS
Myself and my friend Maurice drew up this petition to increase the residency requirement to 30 YEARS for foreign nationals who wish to become Irish citizens. Please SIGN and SHARE, it only takes 2 MINS! Thank you. Albert.
“We therefore call on the Government, the Minister for Justice, and the Oireachtas to go further than an 8-year residence rule and to legislate a citizenship settlement worthy of the 2004 decision:
1. Residence. Naturalisation shall not be available until 30 years of continuous, lawful, reckonable residence. Time on student permission, international protection pending, or temporary protection shall not count.
2. Automatic citizenship. A child shall acquire Irish citizenship automatically only where a parent has held Irish citizenship for more than 10 years at the time of the birth. Birth in Ireland, of itself, shall not confer citizenship.
3. No claim on the social State while seeking membership of the nation. Until citizenship is granted, applicants and their dependants shall have no access to social welfare, including child benefit; no free public healthcare; no family reunification; no fuel allowance; no subsidies of any kind; no social housing, affordable housing or Help to Buy. Citizenship must not be a route to the welfare system.
4. Character. Applicants must have no criminal record.
5. Language. Applicants must demonstrate university-level fluency in Irish and in English.
6. Knowledge and contribution. Applicants must pass a once-off, rigorous citizenship examination covering Irish history, geography, values, culture, institutions and both languages. Each sitting of the examination, including every resit, shall cost €50,000, adjusted to inflation.
7. Honesty. If an applicant is found to have lied in the citizenship process, citizenship shall be stripped and the person deported to the country of origin.
8. Crime after the grant. If a naturalised citizen commits a serious crime within 20 years of the grant, citizenship shall be revoked and the person deported to the country of origin.
9. Public office. No person who acquires Irish citizenship by naturalisation shall hold public office until 20 years have passed from the date citizenship was granted. Living here, paying tax or holding a passport shall not shorten that period. Public office means membership of Dáil Éireann or Seanad Éireann, the office of President, judicial office, and any other public office prescribed by law. Citizenship is membership of the nation. High office is a further trust, and it should not be available to a newly naturalised citizen.
Ireland is not being asked to invent a 30-year standard. The United Arab Emirates already applies one. Under Federal Law No. 17 of 1972, a person who is not in a shorter, tightly defined category may be considered for naturalisation only after at least 30 years of continuous, lawful residence, together with Arabic proficiency, a lawful income, good character and no conviction for an offence of moral turpitude or dishonesty. Even then, citizenship is a discretion of the State, not a right that follows from tax or time served. A country of fewer than six million people, with a far larger foreign-born workforce than Ireland’s, has chosen to keep the passport rare. A 5-year or 8-year Irish pathway treats membership of the nation as a short administrative wait. If the UAE can require three decades of settled, lawful residence before it will even consider naturalisation, Ireland can require no less.
Legal work and tax are conditions of living here. They are not a title to the Irish nation. Immigration pressure, housing scarcity and the welfare budget are not separate from citizenship policy; they are why the pathway must be narrow, long and demanding.”

Today, Irish citizen journalist Kirk Loco was acquitted at Bray District Court of a criminal charge under Ireland's "Coco's Law." X is proud to have funded Kirk's defense.
Kirk's alleged offense was a single post on X relaying a teenage girl's account of a migrant man exposing himself to her on a local bus. Kirk was arrested at his home and faced up to two years in prison.
The court found the State had not proved its case. "Grossly offensive" speech is not defined anywhere in the law. Vague laws like this invite abuse.
We will keep standing with users who report on matters of public concern.
This “Oi Oi” freak (name changed tonight) threatened my friend Jack’s life last week on a space because Jack sent him a picture of his FACE after being accused by this new Spaces attendee of being Indian.
Tonight he offered a non apology to the host of the space, not Jack, for blowing up while maintaining the lie that Jack sent him something inappropriate when he didn’t. Go f**k yourself, and you can shove your fake apology as well, don’t threaten my friend’s life or lie about my friends you psychotic nutcase.

What’s coming was avoidable, but Republicans in Congress let Trump start a war, increase spending, arm a genocide, betray MAHA, and cover up for Epstein’s coconspirators. I was ousted with over $30 million of foreign lobby money for refusing to go along, and here we are.
Basil The Grifter rat who wants Ireland to rejoin the British Union will love this, no doubt. 🐀

Respectfully Mario, that graphic is very misleading
Ireland and Britain did not ‘unite’ in 1801.
After yet another attempt at independence by Ireland in 1798, Britain sought to get rid of the Irish parliament once and for all and subsume Ireland.
It bribed Irish politicians to vote their Parliament out of existence - forcing Ireland into an unwanted and undemocratic union.
Irish Catholics, the vast majority, had highly limited voting rights and weren’t allowed to sit in Parliament.
The parliament did not represent the people.
The first time the Irish majority could vote, they voted for ‘Home Rule’ parties - reverting the enforced Union of 1801 tone-establish an Irish Parliament
There has never been a voluntarily Union between Britain and Ireland.
Irish identity long predates the concept, and had always had a majority wanting to remain independent
Anyone who loves democracy should support the concept of restoring the whole of the island of Ireland to the Irish
There were never meant to be fabricated national boundary lines on this island

Ambassador Huckabee, this is unreleased video of an American who was beaten almost to death last week by Israeli settlers. You know his name because he came to you for help, but you blew him off. That’s disgraceful. Do your job.

In february 2010, japan offered to enrich uranium for iran.
Two months later, an israeli defense-linked firm suddenly secured a japanese nuclear surveilance safety contract.
Less than a year later, fukushima exploded.
@grok are these dates correct? start with yes or no.
Good riddance you evil c_nt.
I have just informed my colleagues that I will step down as @ECB President on 7 February 2027.
It has been a source of great pride to serve this institution.
I thank all of those who have supported me on this journey over the past seven years.

AI, Artificial Intelligence, is not going to ever be able to replace people.
Because AI is made by man and people are created by God.
Don’t fall for the lie.
God will not allow it. He did not allow every attempt by man, throughout history, to replace Him and He will not allow it now.
Remember the Tower of Babel? Yeah that didn’t work out and God did not allow it. It’s the same now.
God loves mankind.
He created YOU to be special and to be redeemed by Him.
Not to ever be replaced.
AI is NOT super intelligence.
It’s artificial always.
And the scary threats that people will be replaced by AI is just that.
Totally and completely ARTIFICIAL.
