Rewarding failure is sadly how Ireland works
€100k salary rise for the Irish Water boss, yet estates like these 10 homes outside Cork city rot in a housing emergency because of a dysfunctional water system, whilst many live with dirty water every day

This authoritarian move to facilitate the Lowry and Healy-Rae groups to steal opposition time will be vigorously opposed!

There's an incredible amount of lies and spin coming from government.
People see through it. They're not going to be able to talk their way out of it!

I'm old enough to remember when criticising the EU was framed as unacceptable
Or is it only good to blame the EU when you're scapegoating your own failures

This is Europe.

You will notice Israel isn't in it.

So why are they in UEFA?

They should be in UAFA with all the other Middle Eastern teams.

This isn't normal. We can't allow the government to make it normal.
We need an eviction ban, a reinstatement of the tenant-in-situ scheme, and a state construction company to build pubic housing!

What a horrible man Simon Harris is
He really is the pits targeting the vulnerable through his lies & gaslighting
A man whose party policies have enabled homeless crisis, vacancy & dereliction epidemic & housing crisis
He really has no shame

The women were calling attention to US military transit via Shannon and through Irish sovereign airspace unsearched.
“I was stripped completely naked.

“When I questioned the necessity for this I was told I would be forced violently if I didn’t comply and they didn’t want any trouble.

“They looked inside my private area and touched all my sensitive parts.”

“By the end of this year (2017) no child will wait longer for a scoliosis procedure than 4 months”.
The broken promise of Simon Harris that should’ve ended his political career. But we don’t do accountability…

The IDA’s CEO prepared to discuss the Occupied Territories Bill and the “impact of US FDI” during a meeting earlier this year with US ambassador Edward Walsh.

Government later weakened the bill before it finally passed this summer.

Not long after we started #DerelictIreland someone from a PPN gave us a friendly warning that if we continued we would never get public funding

This week I had a meeting with an amazing advocate who works with a local charity. They don't feel safe publicly criticising government failures because they're applying for government funding to do work the state is failing to do. #spéirgorm
Massively important thread!
The people who fundraise for local initiatives, like a hospice, are energetic, engaged, motivated, if they weren't busy with a local campaign imagine what else they could accomplish? I believe it's a SOP for politicians to keep 'keep them busy', to keep community-minded
