Green Party can no longer claim to be a left of centre party. We had a chance of real change for the first time in this country after the election but the Greens blew it. Eamon Ryan is as much a careerist politician as Micheal Martin

Lisa Chambers on RTE Radio has just referred to 'the land border we share with another country'. Not surprising to hear the Taoiseach rule out a border poll when this is their attitude to the north and the people there.

It's been really sickening watching our local politicians in Galway rush out to condemn the students in the city last night.
There's no excuse for what happened, but I saw none of the same politicians in such a hurry to condemn golfgate, if they did at all.
Total opportunists

I wonder has Varadkar ever stood up for anyone who had their views dismissed because they're working class or belong to a marginalised group? Highly doubt it
Just to clarify the point I was trying to make here - I was highlighting the fact that SF dismissed Barry’s views because of his background. No one should have their views dismissed because of their race, gender or social class. That’s all

Absolutely disgraceful from Galway East TD Anne Rabbitte. Cutting the Covid payment is not fair on workers who will not be able to return to work until later in the summer and are struggling to pay their bills. What does Anne Rabbitte expect people to live off of?
Let's call a spade a spade
@AnneRabbitte
calls for a cut to the €350 Covid Payment , 'sooner rather than later' - 200,000 people are a 'hell of a lot' better off she says.

It's shocking that RTE think the deaths of two homeless people last night are so insignificant that they didn't report it on the 6 O Clock news.
It says a lot about RTE but also about how common and normalized homeless deaths have become (over 50 in 2020) which is very sad.
