The fleshing out of the EU Migration Pact is posed to diminish Irish sovereignty on the matter to depths even unthinkable in the Enda Kenny years. The significance is that Ireland is drifting into a fully Europeanised migration regime without ever having the constitutional-scale

I sometimes think about this and the other graffiti done to Loughcrew and other Neolithic sites post 2020 and become filled with rage
I went to visit the Carrowkeel passage tombs in Co. Sligo yesterday evening, and unfortunately I’m very sad to say what I found was the worst vandalism I have come across at any megalithic site in the last twenty years. A stone forming the entrance to Cairn H was knocked over 1/2

So the actual number of student visas is 60k/year, not 40k as previously reported. Considering about ~80% are for dodgy 'English courses' they can work 20-40hrs/week on, these are work permits by another name. Combined with actual work permits = 100k/yr (2% of pop). Insane.
Justice Minister, Jim O'Callaghan, has said the 60,000 visas granted each year, to students studying English here as a foreign language, is an area he's "looking at" with Further Education Minister James Lawless. More... @rtenews

@PangurBn10 Gaelachas! Chuirfeadh ceist ar Phádraic Breathnach ó Macnas, tuairimí láidir aige, agus aitheanta go maith i nGaillimh agus Conamara cén fáth nár sheas sé ariamh do toghchán. "Mar gheall go gceapann gach fear Charna gur cheart dhó féin a bheith ina Rí."

Irish liberals trying to think of a province of Ireland occupied by a foreign nation “Erm, what if Munster was occupied by France Yes that’ll do”
If France were to invade Munster and occupy it brutally the same Irish ‘patriots’ declaiming against helping Ukraine, would be sending appeals out to the world to help Ireland, the victim of unalloyed aggression. They simply refuse to recognise Russian aggression.

EU Migration Commissioner @magnusbrunner on his way to Citywest. He needs to speak to Saggart people not cops and civil servants to find out what this unwanted plant has done to the village and surrounding areas.
@magnusbrunner hope you get to speak to local people in Saggart today to hear how the #Citywest Center has affected our lives and how concerned we all are with the mismanagement and serious security issues. Mass immigration to small areas with no oversight is a disaster for us.

Críth Gablach in O'Curry's translation. Eugene O'Curry, On the Manners and Customs of the Ancient Irish, Vol. III (Dublin, 1873).
This applies even more forcefully to a text like Críth Gablach. T. M. Charles-Edwards, 'A contract between king and people in early medieval Ireland: Críth Gablach on kingship', Peritia, 8 (1994), pp. 107–119.

you could spend all of your time on here dispensing contempt to people with obviously bad opinions, but it would be a waste of your time and very bad for your soul.
