"Gender doesn't matter, it should be about tHe bEsT pErSoN fOr tHe jOb" is a mad thing to say in a country where Darragh O'Brien is a two-time government Minister. #SpeirGorm #GE24 #irepol

Orwellian-level of NewsSpeak coming out of the Dáil Programme for Government cattle-trading.

The pure gombeenism at the highest level of our country’s leadership is as disturbing as it is disgusting 🤢 I hope it’s all false.

Rumours are that one of the Healy-Raes will be Super Junior Minister for taking in the roads. #IREPol

Leave it to @lewisgoodall.com & @maitlis.bsky.social to stir up my nightmares of the roadside fires at Coolock & the “just asking a QueStIoN” protests 🤦🏾‍♀️

This. The Taoiseach needs to show some leadership, and as Leader of the Government he needs to acknowledge that his backbenchers are his backbenchers, regardless of what party or group you're in. #SpeirGorm #dáil #irepol

Can someone explain to me why we don't have *formal* proxy or vote-pairing arrangements for TDs who are on maternity leave? Sexism in democratic processes leaves people unrepresented, undermines the position of women in politics. #Ireland #IrePol #SpéirGorm

Two weeks to go. Things pretty much still the same really for the biggest 3 and coalition options. #GE24 #IrePol #GE2024

Still didn’t get a polling card. Still will be voting tomorrow as I’m entitled to with the relevant ID. #GE24 #IrePol #Ireland #PollingCard #Vote

Humphries isn't wrong to suggest a United Ireland could keep Stormont, but doing so should be part of a package of devolution across Ireland, giving each province its own Assembly. #irepol #racefortheáras

for the money to be spent, spend it! Otherwise you are letting your team down, your bosses down and those that will come after you down.
There's nothing good about not spending a budget. You should aim to spend a minimum of 5-10% under and hopefully not over.

Oops my b. Should have tagged this #UKPol and maybe #IrePol too.

Any chance of a dose of ecosocialism in Ireland?

I've seen #irepol used too (though more so on Mastodon). Ideally a feed could pull in all relevant tags. If not, hopefully people will coalesce around the most popular short one

RTE News - ""The head of the electoral body, An Coimisún Toghcháin, has acknowledged that the electoral register is "not as accurate as it should be" and that there could be as many as 500,000 people who should not be on it.""

There is talk that they night have to re-run the #Limerick city election.

This will probably risk a Labour seat for little prospect of a SD seat.

It would give other parties a chance to reconfigure their campaigns and mount a better challenge

Map breakdown of the TDs who voted against No in the recent abortion vote, along with the % of the constituency's TDs voting No VS how the constituency voted in the referendum back in 2018 (positive number means anti-abortion voters over-represented and vice versa) #speirgorm #irepol #IrishPolitics

It’s a tinderbox.

Will a recession be needed even? Given the terrible pressured situation for many, & what I expect to be more-of-the-same when it comes to social policy from the next Govt., it’s a slow creep towards far right that suits many just fine, thank you very much🤷🏽‍♀️
