NOW: Secretary of War Hegseth, after kiIIing school girls and energy infrastructure: "Blessed be the Lord, my rock. Who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." He is a radical Christian terrorist.

"Jean McConville's children —ten of them—lost their mum in '72, snatched by the IRA. Left alone in Divis Flats, they fended for themselves till social services dragged them off. Then came the real horror: Rubane House, De La Salle, where Billy, Tommy, Jim got beaten, stripped,

The most powerful country in the world is having its foreign policy in the Middle East directer by a pro-Israel estate agent with significant investments in illegal West Bank settlements. What could possibly go wrong?

The history of the Provisional movement that leaders like Sinn Féin's Mary Lou McDonald & Gerry Adams. Their refusal to face up to the past is a major barrier to a United Ireland.

Paddy Shanks Never mind that lots of people left the IRA in 70s/80s/90s rather than flocked to them because they were so desperate to recruit, they accepted everyone - including people who had "offended" against the community. That led to later trouble when IRA members feathered their own

Thanks to all staff Luas who with great public service ethic found what I lost on a tram recently, put in through the system & facilitated my collection of it. Hopefully whatever organization takes over the operation will reward such workers @siptu and spirit! GRMMA!

St. Patrick was a migrant: A migrant is 'a person or animal that migrates.' and to migrate is 'to go from one country, region, or place to another.' dictionary.com/browse/migrate No sure why some want to redefine the word 'migrant'?

6am, Dingle - Ireland's earliest St Patrick's Day parade. The pre-dawn tradition dates back to the Land War of the 1870s when British authorities outlawed public gatherings between sunrise and sunset. The people of Dingle found a way...

Happy St Patrick’s Day to all my constituents and the Irish across the globe wherever, like my grandparents from Drogheda, they have migrated to and made their contribution to the economy, the culture & cuisine as migrants do. share.google/5FeAnlYjtQpEL7…

St. Patrick did return after his slavery as an migrant to spread Christainity so if you are going to attack our President maybe your facts right.

Happy St. Patrick's day / Patty's day to one and all! / Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir! Whether you are fíor Gaels, Plastics Paddys for the day, believers or god-free, conservatives or correct (-; I hope it is a good one.

These lads object to noting that St. Patrick was a migrant (he returned after he was slave!). Ireland is a nation of migrants and it not something to be ashamed of. I suppose they wud prefer to call St. Patrick an ex-Pat 🤣🤣🤣

Today, an Irish journalist complains about Irish St Patrick's Day parades not celebrating "Ireland, Irishness, or Ireland’s patron saint." He does this in a British magazine and designs his piece for British readers. (Remove the Mother from Mothering Sunday? Really?)
