The fact that Vladimir Putin appears in the Epstein files roughly 1,000 times, without being accused as a predator himself, strongly suggests intelligence collection for blackmail purposes. If that is the case, then the Epstein matter is not just a criminal scandal but an

Is everyone in the comments irony-deficient..?
I am settling in for a showing of ‘Melania’ and the theater is PACKED! Earlier, a bystander asked if I was heading in to see Avatar, and I stopped dead in my tracks. “Avatar? No, son,” I curtly replied. “I don’t watch woke movies. I’m here to see the groundbreaking documentary

I’m sorry, what?! Pictorial evidence of death and sexual abuse withheld! Wtf?
BREAKING: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just admitted the DOJ excluded images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from today’s Epstein files release. Let that sink in. The government is acknowledging graphic evidence exists and chose to withhold it, while

Who is going to investigate the 13-year old who was trafficked to Ireland for 'politicians and notable men'? Who? Which of you journalists will investigate this??? We want to know. What has happened in the dark must be dragged into the light! #EpsteinFiles

Messages released in the latest batch of Jeffrey Epstein files talk of Irish people's "horrible asses" that the writer says were "from the potato famine".

“Ireland is responsible for the policing of 132,000 nautical square miles” It’s double when you take into account of Irelands extended continental shelf claim which it has jurisdiction over.

Taking part in European defence initiatives and increasing the capability of a country's security services does not impact on a State's neutral status, the Austrian ambassador to Dublin has said. https://t.co/fyZRr0m5PF

Austria, like Ireland, defines itself as neutral.

Government claims of 'record' defence spending are a nonsense. Since 2021, nominal annual spend has risen only slightly faster than total government spending and by less than foreign development aid. Excluding pensions of retired soldiers, defence spending last year was less

And this is why #Ukraine needs our support more than ever. The attacks against civilians, and civilian infrastructure, continue without respite.

The gender pension gap is estimated to be between 30-40% in Ireland, with women having to work up to eight years longer than men to achieve the same retirement savings. On top of this, more than one in three Irish women have no retirement savings at all. https://t.co/FIyqOD0qfn

The European Parliament’s Committee on Gender Equality today voted to tackle the persistent gender pension gap across the European Union, MEP Maria Walsh has said.

It amazes me to see Irish people rage against the EU, picking up arguments falsely spun by Eurosceptics during the #Brexit referendum. Ireland has benefited immensely from EU membership, which is not to say, of course, that the EU is perfect. It’s a work in progress but it has
Jokes on Eoin here, EU standards mean this flag wouldn’t be flammable… Not to mention the billions of euro spent on the EU to protect the culture, history, identity, architecture, literature, language and so much more of individual member states, their regions and more.

Irelands lack of capability in Defence has been well-documented, so if NATO accession is to happen, it ain’t gonna be anytime soon
