- Could this really be true? According to the new US Government, 70,000 dollars of USAID money was spent on production of a ‘DEI’ (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) musical in Ireland. Without making a song and dance about it, we need to know what other US public funds may have been
- Freedom of speech is ultimately what guarantees freedom of thought, and is an essential reality in the seeking of truth. Misinformation may occlude truth and make it hard to identify, and thus require antidotes but placing limitations on freedom of speech by means of this Hate
00:00 - I don’t like it when the people in power blank journalists, from whatever organisation, at Government press conferences. Being a leader in a democracy imposes certain obligations. We all know that not every question can be answered but reasonable efforts have to be made.
00:00 - A radical new definition of GENDER, never previously considered, is being given protected characteristic status...a final clip from this week's Seanad debate. Speak out now on this Bill if you don't want to be a future victim of cancel-culture silencing. County councillors, TDs
00:00 - With only five minutes for senators to express their views on the EU Migration Pact, there were more questions than answers at the end of today’s debate. In a rushed way the Government has sought and got its mandate. The views of the wider public on this contentious issue were
00:00 - The figures are startling: 73.9% was the largest NO vote in the history of referendums. On average, across the referendums, ONLY 13% of the electorate was convinced enough to go out and vote Yes. That figure drops to 7% in Donegal. We cannot continue with business as usual.

What’s interesting is that Leo Varadkar has chosenLeo Varadkar says it's a “far-right myth” and “misinformation” to claim that refugees in Europe have to stop at the first safe country they enter. But numerous politicians from his own government have been saying this for years. @Ben_Scallan comments: #gript
00:00 - Government’s corrupt definition of ‘gender’ in today’s Hate Offences legislation intends to lay the ground for silencing opposition in future to radical gender ideology. My comments in the Seanad today are here. Make your voice heard today please. Keep the pressure on
00:00 - Loonies on the Liffey St Brigid’s weekend is a great time to celebrate our national identity and to honour the tradition of love of God and neighbour that St Brigid represents. But when you see Dublin City Council using our money not to commemorate the historic St Brigid but
- Thankfully for now, wiser heads have prevailed and the Minister of Justice is to give some more thought and to consult more on the ill-advised 'Hate Speech Bill.' It is worth repeating that there are very few ardent supporters of this Hate Bill. Why do I say that? Well,
- I advise Parents and School Boards of Management to do a full Child Protection Risk Assessment regarding the content and delivery of parts of the SPHE curriculum in schools. Content coming from the State and State bodies is not above the law and not immune from assessment.
00:00 - Less suggestive referencing of the ‘far-right’, and more focus on good policing, keeping people safe and a generous-but-controlled migration policy is what we need from our Government right now. My contribution in the Seanad today.
00:00 - Who decided that pornographic material should be available to twelve-year olds in public libraries funded by the taxpayer? Was it made by a government agency above the heads of librarians? Is this another example of ‘government within government’? Don’t get me wrong. It was
