Given the choice I would rather have asylum seekers living in my community than racist thugs that violently protest against asylum seekers living in their community.

@tim_carey1 As a secure Irish person I've no issue with this being called the British Isles any more than, I'm sure, the people on the West coast of Britain have any issue with the water between being called the Irish Sea.

As someone that gave Ciarán Cuffe my No. 1 and Aodhán Ó'Ríordáin my No. 2 I'm looking forward to being one of the people that helped keep Niall Boylan from making a fool of us in the European Parliament.

If you are upset by seeing a politician dancing in a nightclub (whether it's Raynor, Varadkar, Ocasio-Cortez or Gove) you might want to consider the possibility that you are a miserable git.

The fact that our Prime Minister is called The Taoiseach doesn't stop them from being our Prime Minister. I don't get why some people get so up their own arses when international media refer to them as the Irish Prime Minister. That's a perfectly correct description.

This 'NGO' thing that has been knocking about in the Right Wing narrative for the last couple of years may seem a bit weird but, when you think about it, hating on organisations that advocate for the disadvantaged, and encouraging others to do so, is very much a Right Wing vibe.
