If a guard fell out of a van at a rugby match your headline wouldn’t mention it. The media, with a couple of honourable exceptions, absolutely hate the working class.
A garda suffered a serious head injury and is in intensive care after he was injured while policing a match in Dublin last night.

‘Neutrality fetishists’
This shill won’t be happy until he sees tricolour draped coffins arrive in baldonell.
When Ireland joined Nato's Partnership for Peace a quarter of a century ago the neutrality fetishists claimed it amounted to the end of neutrality. It never arose in national discourse again. Exactly the same will happen in relation to the triple lock.

The worst leader of his party in its history, overseeing an historic betrayal of its foundational values and its defining international achievements, along with the majority preference of the people of Ireland.
Russia does NOT have a "veto" on Irish participation in peacekeeping. Neither does any other country. This is a vicious misrepresentation of how the United Nations works. It is disinformation.
Without a UN mandate, Ireland MUST NEVER participate in any EU mission in Lebanon. Because if there is no UN mandate, there is no peacekeeping. It's not peacekeeping. If our soldiers end up there under an EU command, without the protection of a clear UN peacekeeping mandate, they will end up suborned into being wingmen for Israel's apocalyptic criminality - its scorched-earth landgrab and occupation in South Lebanon. Pressed into complicity by the Zionist governments in Europe who define the mission, and abandoned to it by a political class in Ireland - personified in the Taoiseach - who will never say no to "our European partners."
That is what is really at stake with the government's plans to abolish the Triple Lock. It isn't about preserving Ireland's participation in peacekeeping. It's about destroying that legacy forever, and blowing up our relationship with the majority of the world in the process.

Russia “should not have a veto on Irish participation in peacekeeping.”

Reds scare all over again. It wasn’t Russia or China who bombed nordstream, ensuring we buy most of our energy from the US.
Russia or China didn’t start an illegal war against Iran, closing the straits of Hormuz to copper fasten our dependence on yank energy. A fuckin toad.
👉 No other country in the world gives Trump 🇺🇸, Putin 🇷🇺 and Xi 🇨🇳 a veto over their own foreign policy.
The Irish 'Triple Lock' is the opposite of national sovereignty.
The world has drastically changed. Irish military neutrality remains steadfast but must adapt.
.@sinnfeinireland seem to want Irish soldiers confined to their barracks. No young person wants to join such an army.
Irish peacekeepers have a proud record around the world and are now needed more than ever.
I welcome today's reform by the Irish parliament 🇮🇪.
‘Terror organisation’ you bed wetting simpleton. She pledged support to a group opposing genocide. If that’s terror, I’m a terrorist.
Up the resistance
Always the victim, it’s never your fault. Geebags.

These people hate the working class.
Up the workers
If the people in the public sector unions aren't happy with their pay, they could always try to get a real job in the private sector....

Worked for years in the private sector, I work just as hard as a civil servant.
This is only an us and them if you choose to make it us and them.
Stand with the workers, public and private.
Yep, the famously well paid clerical officers, minted teachers assistants and the wealthy street sweepers. We can’t afford to take a day off, but we can’t survive on a pay rise that’s less than the rate of inflation. This really isn’t hard.

Point out that Ukraine has already lost more men than it can replace and you are accused of wishing for Russian victory.
Note that Europe voluntarily dismantled its own energy base and then blamed Moscow for the consequences and the charge is automatic.
Observe that the United States spent its precision munitions on a proxy it cannot resupply and you are told you are repeating Kremlin talking points.
The West has reached the stage where describing the results of its own decisions is treated as enemy action.
The policy failed.
The arithmetic is ugly.
Therefore the arithmetic must be foreign.
It is easier to hunt the messengers than to explain why a country was fed into a war its sponsors could not win.
Common sense is now contraband!
This is the simple truth.
Abu Mazen is a collaborator scumbag and nobody who supports freeing Palestine supports that decrepit shoneen.
What’s your read on the Israeli government banning Arab parties from the upcoming elections?
In desolation row, Dylan wrote ‘they’re selling postcards of the hanging…’ in reference to a lynching in Minnesota.
The yank regime will monetise this affront to humanity, and their western stooges won’t utter a word of condemnation.
The US will livestream the army's upcoming firing squad execution of a man who killed 13 people at the Fort Hood military base in 2009, the Pentagon has said rte.ie/news/us/2026/1009/159…
The British empire fell.
The Ottoman empire fell.
The Roman empire fell.
The American empire will fall.
Hundreds of millions have died at its hands.
It’s fall will be no loss
