    I hear cameras cut away from me when I displayed this underwear in #Dáil. In courts victims can have their underwear passed around as evidence and it's within the rules, hence need to display in Dáil. Join protests tomorrow. In Dublin it's at Spire, 1pm. #dubw #ThisIsNotConsent

    The reason for Kildare, Laois & Offaly now enduring a second lockdown isn’t careless young people or partying — it’s careless factory owners & employers putting profits before health. It’s lack of workers rights & sick pay. #COVID19ireland #lockdown

    Are people aware that it wasn’t deemed safe enough for #NormaFoley to meet 3 teachers unions today in person, but it’s safe for up to a million people to sit inside schools on Thursday.

    In case anyone still needs to hear this #EnochBurke was sacked for his behaviour not his beliefs. Calling a student by their chosen name is a pretty basic requirement for a teacher but he didn’t even teach the student, just chose to make an issue of it for his own cause.

    So @DubCityCouncil has said it can’t have official homecoming for #KellieHarrington due to covid, but there’s 24,000 people passing her house today to get to Croke Park for hurling?

    I’ve had to teach in schools where prayers and masses were said, where priests regularly visit, ashes given out on Ash Wednesday — no one worried about my civil rights and I didn’t storm any events or harass the principal.

    Worth everyone posting these two pics. Promising student nurses pay during height of first covid wave, voting not to pay them when peak of crisis finishes few months later. Sure a round of applause will do them. How can anyone trust FF,FG, Greens? #paystudentnursesandmidwives

    To be clear, if we move to Level 5, it’s because we have one of the worst health services in Europe & successive FF/FG-led governments chose not to invest in a public health system. It’s also because of a low or no tax policy on wealth and multinationals. #NPHET #Covid19Ireland

    For absolute clarity : The jury believed #NikitaHand, a survivor. The jury believed that #ConorMcGregorIsARapist.

    #Bono getting an award from the genocide-enabling Joe Biden having not opened his mouth about the horrific human rights abuses in Palestine. I often wonder who Bono & the lads think they’re fooling but it’s not many people in their own homeland. rte.ie/news/2025/0104…
