Here is the recorded version of my song ‘Palestine’. The full version is available on this thread on YouTube and Bandcamp. 'From the river to the sea’ is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

This decision around the Triple Lock should be put to the people in a referendum.
This vote last week is not the end. It still has to get through multiple stages of the Oireachtas.

It's wonderful to finally have some answers to the question - where do you want to send Irish troops that you can't because of the Triple Lock?
A made in Israel "EU military mission" engaged in civil conflict against Hezbollah.
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, minister says rte.ie/b/1596797
Linehan and Shatter, what a sad duo. The videos coming out from the 3 Arena last night are a heartening sign of people power at a time when world leaders are continuing to turn a blind eye to the psychopathic crimes against humanity committed by Israel.
We had last night in Dublin an Irish musical version of one of the Nuremberg Rallies of the 1930s.
Manipulated, indoctrinated, excited young people, who know little of the history & complexity of Israel/Palestinian conflict, the demonic slaughter that took place at the Nova Music festival, Hamas promises to repeat it & Hamas refusing to disarm & obstructing a UN sanctioned peace process, drinking the Cool Aid of Israel & Jew Hate.
All hidden behind a beguiling “ Free Palestine” slogan that calls for the eradication of the worlds only Jewish state & either the extermination of 8 million Jewish Israelis, half of world Jewry, or their expulsion to an unknown destination.
And I once wondered how come the vast majority of Germans adopted, embraced & celebrated Hitlers Jew hating Nazi ideology during the 1930s. The exuberant excitement & dancing at Dublin’s 3 Arena gives all the insight required to understand it all.
And, of course, RTE promoted the event not only on the Late Late Show but also on its news website & following its conclusion gave it an ecstatic news slot on Radio One’s Morning Ireland.
A public service insight into today’s Ireland.

If, as Helen McEntee has proposed, Irish troops are deployed to Lebanon as part of the EU Security Mission, then they'll be de facto participants in a Lebanese civil war against Hezbollah, at the behest of the Israeli government.

The housing crisis is manufactured
How else would we still have empty homes everywhere, like these 20 in Macroom, we've more short term lets than homes to rent, we've record numbers in emergency accommodation, rapid growth in homeless industry & so on..
This is deliberate policy
That @dunnesstores built 20 apartment homes over their store in Macroom to satisfy planning & then leave them empty for 18 years & counting & that's not seen as a bad brand or business decision in housing emergency
No doubt we have serious cultural challenges in #DerelictIreland

“You’re a horrible little reporter, aren’t you?”
If any previous president had said that to a reporter at the White House, a female reporter in particular, it would have been a multi-day scandal.
But we as a country and media have normalized this boorish, abusive misogynist.
YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇
WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir?
TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with?
REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations
TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dónal Lunny.
A giant of Irish traditional music, Dónal helped shape the sound of Irish music for generations, bringing our rich musical heritage to audiences at home and around the world.
His contribution to Irish music and culture will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace and power Dónal Lunny, a musical giant and great person. Dónal consistently stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people. He was an early signatory to our Irish Artists' Pledge to Boycott Israel, joining its launch. He will be very very missed. Go well Dónal.

Loads to get stuck into today but first up is the defence committee. Sophia will be listening tentatively to the arguments being made then today its a topical discussion on the ongoing Scoliosis scandal.

Let the people decide.
Tonight, the Government has voted to drive through legislation to dismantle the Triple Lock.
This is a fundamental change to Ireland’s neutrality. The Government has no mandate to make this decision on behalf of the Irish people.
This must be put to a referendum.
