Two people are running for the Presidency debating NI right now on the radio. I can tell you, only one of those women will be acceptable in inner city areas in certain parts of Belfast when discussing the future. And it isn't Catherine Connolly.

Catherine Connolly’s horror at the remilitarisation of Europe is understandable, but she has taken the wrong lesson from the history of the 1930s

We need a candidate who defends democracy, rule of law, and rights. Catherine Connolly has done that throughout her career. She’s a woman of integrity with wide respect and a record of standing up for justice, even when challenged. We’re proud to back her.

First speech as Committee of Regions member in Euro Parliament Chamber. Called for 10 year easing of State Aid rules to help National & Local Govt deliver housing. Strong positive reaction. Also highlighted Irish Govt hostility to EU principle of Subsidiarity & strong Local Govt.

Super letter in the Irish Times from Cllr Dermot Lacey (Dublin City Council) about the problems created by overcentralisation of housing policy in the Dept of Housing. Nationwide polices are rolled out that cover everywhere from Dublin to Dingle, so they don't work on the ground

This is good 💯 Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches... They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports... It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor. A

Today, April 25, is a special day in Italy: Festa della Liberazione — Liberation Day. It marks Italy's liberation from Fascist rule at the end of World War. 80 years later, they are back in power. Karl Marx was right, "History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce."

@Toibin1 The vast majority of 🇮🇪 did not support PIRA, however you did. The EU has never invaded any country. Having the ability to defend democracy is an essential factor in preserving democracy

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
