Fine Gael not even hiding it anymore. Actively calling for membership of NATO.
Irish public well ahead of politicians on Nato membership. As a mature country, Ireland needs to stand up for our values & firmly with our allies. Both are under grave threat.

Herzog park should be renamed Solomon Park to continue the celebration of Jewish influence on the city of Dublin while removing connections to Zionism. Estelle Solomon was a member of Cumann na mBan, a Republican, involved in War or Independence & provided a safe house

We need to end the rip off and get costs under control! Petrol and diesel prices are up after Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael hiked up carbon taxes. Food and energy prices through the roof. Inflation at its highest level in two years. Everything is much dearer than last year leaving

Jews for Palestine Ireland fully support the campaign to rename Herzog park so that it no longer honours a man who gladly took part in a large scale ethnic cleansing.

Chaim Herzog was a Zionist war criminal. The first Israeli military governor of the occupied West Bank, he oversaw the destruction of Jerusalem's ancient Moroccan Quarter. This is who @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD @HMcEntee demand that Ireland honor https://t.co/Y2sDWAngJc
Deeply uncomfortable here with the assertion that “antisemitism is being weaponised”. Antisemitism is real, is abhorrent & is growing. Important to be able to criticise any government we disagree with. But that is entirely different to seeking to change a park name.

The Irish Government folds like a cheap deck of cards to US & Israeli pressure - leaning on Dublin City Council over a local park while Gaza’s children die. This isn’t diplomacy, it’s spinelessness. Ireland is meant to be a sovereign republic. Time to act like it! 🇮🇪

Ireland stands at a crossroads. We have sustained several years of economic growth but if we do not act with urgency on delivery of key infrastructure we risk undermining social cohesion and economic competitiveness. Read my article in @businessposthq
