In 2017, Fine Gael spent 200k on a campaign 'Welfare Cheats Cheat Us All', finding just ONE case of fraud that year.
Meanwhile, FG TD Dara Murphy claims his full wage of 94k & max expenses of 51k per year despite not speaking in the Dáil since 2017
Who are the real cheats here?

Leo Varadkar justifies institutional racism in Ireland by saying that it's not as bad as the institutional racism ongoing in the US.
What a low bar to set. Pathetic.
Leo Varadkar concedes some Direct Provision accommodation is substandard but it is "ultimately a service provided by the state… free accommodation, food, heat, lighting, education, and some spending money. It's not the same thing as a man being killed by the police."

Somebody needs to take Fine Gael aside and tell them that the year is 2020 and the argument 'Sinn Féin = IRA' doesn't work anymore and all it does is expose a weakness in FG. It's about time FG&FF openly and honestly debated policies with SF and moved politics forward in Ireland.

A load of waffle. Moving to a more humane system could save the state €45m per annum according to new Ombudsman report. And there's housing available, 200000 vacant units in the country. All it takes to end Direct Provision is political will and an ounce of compassion.

As we look at the upsetting events across the water, we must reflect and admit that racism not only is very present here in Ireland, but that it's on the rise.

Thousands of people in Ireland are without a safe space to isolate in or to call home. Thousands sleeping rough, moving from hotel to hotel & in direct provision. With so many vacant houses, flats, & hotels, every effort should be made to give a safe space to all at this time.

I'm the first to criticise Leo Varadkar, but it's on his policies. It's not anything to do with the colour of his skin, or where his family comes from. It's worrying to see something like this. Attitudes like this move politics backwards, not forwards.

Next time a politician promises you a tax cut at all costs, ask them how they plan on fixing the crises in housing, health, transport, and climate. Ask them where they'll get the money for better mental health services. See through their shallow, unimaginative nonsense.
Dear Politicans,
Don’t knock on my door offering me a tax cut while people are dying on trolleys, on streets, in direct provision centres, dying from gun/knife violence, because of inadequate mental health services, dying because they weren’t important enough to live.
