So zero tolerance in a @defenceforces workplace, but sort-of tolerance in every other workplace?🤷‍♂️ I guess it’s only natural for other organisations to want to avoid external scrutiny. The best way to improve standards is not to double them.

⁦@LCreighton⁩ : Ireland needs a standalone intelligence agency to tackle modern threats 💯 agree, look at the difficulty in recruiting someone into the Deputy Garda Commissioner role with responsibility for intelligence.⁩ ⁦@GCraughwell⁩ businesspost.ie/analysis-opi…

As someone from from the UK living in Ireland, I've never been so embarrassed by the lack of awareness of Anglo-Irish history in my life. What a stupid question. They were foolish and will redeem themselves but you will always be an ignorant moron

Couldn't agree more. I'm not sure why this can be seen as an unpopular opinion at times. To pull systems apart, knowing how they work is an obvious advantage.

I feel that I am better at red teaming because I was a SOC Analyst, I was tech support, I was help desk, I was a sys admin. More than any college degree or certification, or technical knowledge I have, empathy and knowing how things work has made me a better tester.

Now let's be honest with ourselves here. Do you think he was here for 4 years just studying Political Science? That's a long time in country to do whatever the GRU directed him to #FundTheDF rte.ie/news/ireland/2022/061…

And another nuclear threat to the UK from Russian state TV's Dmitry Kiselyov: He says his country's Poseidon nuclear underwater drone could cause a tsunami that would "plunge the British Isles into the depths of the sea" and turn them into a "radioactive desert" (with subs)

Now why would Russia need such a large embassy? Underground complex, unlabelled server rooms, separate power supply? Sounds more like an intelligence outpost. Time to reduce their permitted staff numbers @roryireland @simoncoveney @RobGilbey rte.ie/news/primetime/2022/0…
Sir, How many more reasons do we want? Is a citizen's assembly honestly enough? We will be the one's remembered for standing to the side while this happened. Passive support isn't enough #LethalAid @simoncoveney

If you're morally against sending Javelins and lethal aid, I would think that you're morally obliged to take in women and children. I hope to see the same people standing with welcome signs in Dublin Airport
