Love this country sometimes, honestly! I'll be writing to the @ElecCommIRL suggesting that every polling station has tea and cakes in future
The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote there and after they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: https://t.co/2V58ydruQW

I ran for election and people voted for me. Fairly straightforward.
@Feljin_J How did you get elected ?

Ireland disinformation update: Reddit locked down one of the most-used parts of its platform in Ireland (r/ireland, claiming 1.2m members) due to what moderators called a “wave of new and inactive accounts spreading disinformation and hate speech connected to recent events.”

Looks like the gardaí are being proactive not reactive tonight in Citywest. And it's working. Who knew that the 'softly softly' approach never works?!

During Derek 'Mousey' Wright's livestream at Citywest last night it's clearly evident the baying mob were not 'concerned parents'. They were bigots (the 'N' word is used) and they actively encouraged young boys to criminally damage the garda van. Much to delight of his followers.

This is terrifyingly real - we are going into deep waters when it comes to AI fakes - they are only going to get better and better. Merchants of lies and division have a powerful new tool.
Note how realistic the visuals and voices are. This AI deepfake video of Catherine Connolly ‘withdrawing’ from presidential contest and that Friday’s poll is ‘cancelled’ is live and viral on Facebook tonight. 1000s watching, commenters believing it. We knew this would happen.

If the Humphries campaign doubles down (as it seems they will) maintaining her negative, smear-adjacent, desperation stance for the debate tonight, theyre cooked. People want positivity, they want hope, a reflection of the best of us - not 'shes terrible so vote for me' #Aras25

Trump is doing what all authoritarians do - get to power by pitting groups against each other and then once in power, run roughshod over everyone. Vote far right and they will destroy everything as their only concern is power and their own enrichment.
🚨 TRUMP: “WE’LL BUY ARGENTINE BEEF.” Reporters asked what he’d say to U.S. ranchers losing their shirts. His answer? “Argentina is fighting for its life… they’re dying.” Meanwhile, 77 American cattle producers a day are going out of business.

And in English: False claims have been widely shared online which suggest that Ireland now has a larger population of Muslims than people who live in Gaeltacht areas. The incorrect statistics were even repeated by Gemini, Google’s AI overview tool. https://t.co/KdvS7FkLYV

The claim that Muslims outnumber the Gaeltacht population has circulated online in recent days.
