I cannot stand by this

What is a country without its young people?

"Ireland is the worst country to be stuck in at this point of the pandemic. Our approach is disproportionate, lacking in both common sense and trust in the people. It has no regard for personal freedom at all." spiked-online.com/2021/07/08/spa…

Thousands of Irish people turn out in Dublin to protest lockdown and vaccine passports for admission into pubs and restaurants. Many Irish media outlets smear them as far-right and downplay the number of people in attendance. The state of our media is depressing. #DublinProtest

I dont know anyone in hospitality that’s enjoying their job at the moment. Its absolute mental torture after the last 18 months. We’ve lost so many brilliant people & will loss so many more in the coming months. People are just broken & will walk away. Never seen anything like it

I’m yet to hear any explanation as to why Zappone should keep the job she proposed for herself and that everyone acknowledges was given to her without any due process. Maybe it’s because nobody has a good reason, just that we should allow crony appointments stand and move on.

Simon Coveney may think that no one is “seriously” questioning whether Katherine Zappone is the best person for the job. I’m no one and I am questioning how someone with no commitment to freedom of expression could be appointed to this role and in this manner. Simon Coveney

If 40k is safe for a final, how is it unsafe for a semi final? None of these laws make sense. They are what happens when you hand everyday life over to politicians. Absurdity and nonsense, toying with your life for votes.

Missing our Irish friends at this year’s #YAFcon Hope to have you all back at a YAF event soon!

It’s been a confusing few days so just to clarify for everyone, we’re still following the science, it’s just the science is being updated in accordance with the need to rescue Leo Varadkar’s political career. We’re all in this together.

There's remarkable Western media silence on the disaster that Zero Covid has turned into in Australia. Probably because it is a cautionary tale about listening to experts.

Another 2 restaurants I know have closed their doors for good in the last 2 weeks. Another owner told me he’s gone at the end of this year. It’s so difficult for business owners across all sectors right now. I feel for anyone under pressure. I don’t see any light coming soon.

I never imagined in my lifetime I would see governments of the world united in promoting segregation, discrimination and inciting hatred on a section of society. I’ve always been pro-vaccine but how can people stand by and watch this hatred of others. cnn.com/2021/11/12/eur…

At every level. Many live in your own house. It remains latent until the correct circumstances arise.

JOHN MCGUIRK: The campaign against DCU academic Mark Humphrys is a calculated attack on academic freedom, designed to silence anybody in an Irish University who might dream of expressing the "wrong" views. It must not succeed: gript.ie/the-campaign-a…

Why do Fine Gael hate the free-market so much?

Recovering alcoholic here 21 years sober Only thing made me give up was the cost It cost me family, it cost me loved ones, it's cost me integrity The price on the bottle That didn't bother me in the least

Increasingly uneasy about how Djokovic is being treated. Whatever your views on the man, he was approved to board that plane. And now? An 8hr interrogation, a glorified detention centre, and global ridicule. This does not feel like 'rules are rules'. It feels like a show trial.

And….. just like that being in favour of lifting all restrictions doesn’t mean you’re “far-right” anymore. Almost like it was always a bully tactic to get people to be quiet and support the restrictions.

My Covid pass.
