The last thing this country needs is naming a national airport after any politician. While many admire Lemass it sets a precedent & we will end up with a plethora more of this performative . As Eoin says get on with the flight cap one yr into govt life

To be fair @labour carried the liberal agenda more than any other party. However John Bruton leadership was a key factor, his trad conservative did not get in the way of the state. Credit to @Alan__Shatter on his efforts in opposition to set the legal framework for success

Something really special & inspiring by Hugh #GivingThanks25 Going through big changes & challenges in life it can be difficult to find positives. You have set a challenge.

I’ll translate for those unfamiliar with this contextualised rape expert. He wouldn’t lift a finger to help Ukrainians. He makes fun of them. He takes every opportunity to undermine them and any support they are due. He can’t even say who kills Ukrainians. He thinks it’s dads

Sounds if they are looking for old days of Dev ! Ireland’s survival depends on being part of a global world. The prize of being Taoiseach is the opportunity to create a better society & that means working on international relations. The country comes first

The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion. From the very first minutes of February 24, Putin has been waging

Well said ⁦@JonBurrowsMLA⁩ . In 2011 my beautiful sister Mary was described as a “non combatant “ This was most insulting. She was an innocent, young 23yr old woman, a teacher, walking home from mass. Her murderer was not a “combatant “ he was a terrorist. Language matters

Congratulations to our U21 lads A tough few mths for the young players so great to end the yr with positivity.

First Donald Trump, then Joe Biden using the terms of the Trump ‘deal’, sold out Afghanistan to the Taliban. Most European govts think Trump is now selling out Ukraine in the same way — trading major concessions for a belief in Putin’s promises, and not caring very much anyway.

This thread is must read. The conclusion is simultaneously eye- popping and utterly predictable. The ‘peace plan’ for Ukraine delivered by the White House seems to have been translated from Russian into English. In other words it’s the Kremlin plan that Trump seems to be passing

Hardly the strongest statement USA President has demonstrated little interest in finding a settlement to end Russia invasion of Ukraine. The weakness of European allowed Luther invasion to occur & continue costing lives & allowing chaos across the continent.

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” — Churchill Trump now takes Putin’s side. Europe must choose again: appeasement or our values, imperialism or freedom. Another moment of truth for our Union.

We don’t need another delegation of European leaders flying off to Washington to kiss Trump’s ring now. We need them to get on the train to Kyiv and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zelenskyy.

Option of Co ordinating with US @POTUS is the failure. Trump is siding with Russia & is hostile to EU & UK. We need to stand with Ukraine by outing Trump & be resourceful/ responsible for security on our shared continent of Europe.
