And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty... and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead.

More articles were written about people wanting this than actually availed of it.
That’s a fact, you can check yourself.

Marrying a catholic bars one from Orange Order membership, murdering a catholic does not.
The Orange Order stands for faith, heritage, charity and family. It is not your enemy. It is nothing like the sectarian monster people want you to believe. Nor is it seeking domination over anyone. It is made up of your neighbours, colleagues and fellow citizens. You may not share its ethos, or subscribe to its views, but calling it sectarian or fascist is a vicious lie. A deliberate smear not based on truth but on hate. Hatred of a culture and tradition because it is not your own.

Government shamefully votes down our proposal for a €500 energy credit for every household paid for by a levy on energy usage of data centres.
This 20c per kWh levy would just mean data centres paying the same as ordinary households.
But that's too much for this government!
Travelling for work, how is it the small middle of nowhere shops can still do coffee at €2.50 yet all the busier shops have to charge at least €1 more to make a profit? Pretty ridiculous price gouging my the majority of shops it looks like...

At its core, Irish politics is built around one 100 year old assumption, emigration is the solution to all problems.
It is the antithesis of ‘Build it and they will come’, it is:
‘Don’t build it and they will fuck off’.
What a damning indictment of Ireland and how it is run in 2026.
Seven out of 10 under-25s consider emigrating for a ‘better life’.
Raising and educating our children for export only.
Shameful figures.

This is real simple
RTE owes the employee €77,000
WRC lets RTE away with a bill of €2,800
RTE is keeping the balance of €74,200
Except, as a national broadcaster, it legally cannot without triggering illegal state aid investigations.
That’s it.
The Labour Court Closed One RTÉ Claim and Opened the State Aid Door for the EU.
@IrishTimes @irishexaminer @businessposthq
The door to a prima facie illegal State-aid investigation is now wide open @Seamusdo @SIPTU, well done for all your stupidity.

In 2023 Kevin Bakhurst told the Oireachtas RTÉ was “not on the verge of bankruptcy.”
By 2025 he told staff that making full restitution for bogus self-employment would make RTÉ “bankrupt overnight.”
Same man, same company, opposite truths.

Do not let the history of Britain's brutal colonial crimes be rewritten. An estimated 100 million people were slaughtered by Britain between 1881 and 1920 alone. Never let these tan cunts play victim. NEVER.

“Ben Gvir represents an extreme fringe”
They actually wrote that.
He is Israel’s National Security Minister!
He is in charge of Israel’s police and prisons!
He is appointed by Netanyahu!
He has not even been sacked, let alone arrested!
This is dishonest shit 👇👇👇
Itamar Ben Gvir’s conduct is entirely deserving of the censure it has drawn across Israel’s political spectrum, including from Foreign Minister @gidonsaar.
Ben Gvir represents an extreme fringe, and his mistreatment of detainees is abhorrent, wholly unjustifiable and antithetical to the liberal democratic principles at the heart of Israel’s founding and the values that LFI upholds.
His antics yesterday only further demonstrate why Prime Minister Netanyahu’s decision to bring him into government was a catastrophic mistake.

The question then becomes:
‘Did the government know when it bailed @rte out with taxpayer’s money?’
Yes, that’s why the revenue amnesty labelled a ‘disclosure scheme’ exists. It’s only after immunity is granted the biggest offender exposed is the state itself as employer #twip

High Court proceedings concerning employment-status issues are ongoing, while a disclosure/regularisation scheme simultaneously operates in adjacent territory.
MSM should be asking:
Did the State operationally settle around the edges of issues still being judicially contested?
Here's a little something something the Mainstream Media hasn't told you.
The SecGen of SW told the PAC that there are a number of High Court challenges against decisions of the SWAO.
All of those challenges are from @rte and An Post
The state is on both sides of every case.
