@HeidiBachram Oh bore off. What Israel is doing to the Palestine is actually genicode, yano killing/straving children, war crimes and your knickers are in a twist cos some man won't pay a fine for saying 'he stood with HAMAS'. .

@kennardmatt I totally believe and suspect that his standpoint on the issue was his downfall in the labour party. Put this man is full of integrity, and because of that, he is able to stand on his own.

@fergusfinlay As a female & an Irish citizen I can tell you that constitution isn't sexist in any form. The constitution hasn't limited my growth, what has limited my development is bad government policies. Please don't use terms like 'sexism' in the wrong context!.

Has you can tell by my eyes, I am starstruck. Jeremy Corbyn is the nicest man, he remembered my grandaunt and felt a lovely message in my book. Meeting my hero didn't disappoint. It was lovely meeting you @jeremycorbyn

@ACTBrigitte Oh absolutely, total disgrace to humanity. To think that an artist like Annie would use her platform to call of peace, you couldn't get anymore unhamane. I mean is a hell of alot crueler than killing and straving children. How bloody dare she ask for peace!.

@wereontheditch @paddycosgrave Well, I'm shocked and appalled. Never in my wildest conclusions would I expect that HSE heads would be responsible for reckless spending. oh wait, sorry, I forgot about the National Childrens Hospital. Sorry, this is a normal occurrence. I tend to forget this at times 😒.

@rtenews You have to give it to him, this was a great advocatation for Palestine on a very public stage. This speech was very clear on the Irish point view and far, far more powerful than a boycott.

@CarersIreland Can I just say you did not do your duty in this referendum for family carers. You backed a campaign to REMOVE legal rights of carers & their children. If you had any ethical compass, you would have seek the legal meaning for the change & acted accordingly.

@ThomasPringleTD I seen this clip a long time ago & I totally agree with it. Alot of the anger is because people at the bottom of the ladder are competing for resources and that competition has gotten more intense since covid. What in Dublin was vile last night and the angry displayed is scary.

@vincentbrowne Isn't it sad to think that despite your correction, it is very likely that the conviction would have been the same. Conviction of this type of crime is low on stats, which is horrid given what the victim has to go through to get this to courts in the first place.

@helerina @Geriirl @forr11469 I watched the whole clip, this man was so verbally aggressive and didn't want listen to Gary answers on the issues he was raising. He wanted a row, ever action has a reaction. Gary reaction was appropriate given the context.

@Lad10Irish @robbiekane74 @DublinLive @run_soup89131 This is simply lovely. Little did Ann know when she was going through the rough of it, that her spirit didn't flounder infact it was infectious. She made an impression on those who walked pass her. A beautiful soul remembered in a touching manner. ❤❤.

@IrishTimes I cannot take this one seriously. I didn't mind that she went over to perform despite the call for her to boycott. If Kan incited violence against her over her pro-Palestine message, she should have pulled out. It's like asking for a refund for your dinner after you ate the food!.

@Toibin1 This is actually unbelievable, how on earth can the state put children in unregulated settings like this. For a child to enter the care system, they have to have come from a traumatic background to then be placed in a unregulated placement. What is it with Ireland & children.

A dignified woman, like a lone wolf, makes logical arguments about the EU migrant pact. She is also more patient as many would have given pascal a belt of the Irish Times in the hope it would knock some sense in!.
What's happened to the European Project and the lens that we are looking down?.Scathing contribution from the Leas Ceann Comhairle leaves the Public Expenditure Minister Pascal Donoghue squirming. We're waiting for our big sisters and brothers in Europe to tell us what to do,
