McDonald said 'we believe the Venezuelan election was open and democratic' rte.ie/news/brexit/20…

Given that Maria Corina Machado won Nobel Peace Prize today we should not forget that Sinn Féin sent fraternal delegates to inauguration of Maduro. Over 3 million Venezuelans left the country.

A perfect description of Catherine Connolly, Tadgh Hickey, Mick Wallace and Clare Daly.

The past few weeks have forced me to face something I’d been in denial about. 🧵 /1

If any other TD had: – Used taxpayer money to whitewash Assad – Nominated O’Doherty – Lied about expenses – Used limos – Helped repossess homes while decrying repossessions – Slipped in a convicted firearms offender into Leinster House …would we call that smears? /15

Maybe I’m too much of a European, but I honestly can’t understand how so many Americans find it perfectly natural to be shot in the head on the spot for the slightest act of disobedience toward any sort of law enforcement. You might wanna revisit that "land of the free" thing.

Sinn Féin's two MEPs (Left) also abstained on today's European Parliament resolution condemning the brutal repression of protesters in #Iran, demanding an end to executions, the release of detainees, and accountability for the regime’s crimes. europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-…

'What a tackle that was!' Right before the try lol

HOW CAN A TD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE EU PRESIDENCY WORKS
