Jesus Christ! Do you see the bags under my eyes? I had 3 hours sleep the night before. My dad, who hasn’t been well recently, made it. My neighbours made it. My friends from school made it. My 5th class art teacher and my Junior Infants teacher came up from Dundalk ON THE BUS!!…

The actual "societal failure" here @Independent_ie is that a policy pressure group set up by Ireland's most prolific pimping ring was granted tax payer funding and allowed to operate for more than ten years in this country. independent.ie/opinion/commen…

Pure evil.

I did hear Goody Peggie cursing Master Upton with early onset male pattern baldness and a 1970s Open University science professor’s do.

We have reached 1938 Munich levels of dehumanisation.

People on here are criticising Michael Caine because he called for children in Gaza to NOT be starved. Has everyone lost their minds? Imagine how dark your heart has to be to say publicly that you are ‘disappointed’ that Michael Caine doesn’t want children to starve to death?…

Not to mention the vulnerable adults, young people and kids, including those who identify as trans, who are being trained to have no boundaries. If they see someone, anyone, wearing one of these badges, this campaign has trained them to accept that this stranger with a I’m Not A…

The prevailing extraordinary lack of care for child safeguarding is astonishing. But a campaign to get people, including kids, to wear badges that advise that they can be approached and asked by total strangers to accompany them into public toilets, really just takes the bloody…

Well, Kate Searle, A&E consultant, isn’t an expert on how the sex of a baby is decided. She believes that it’s assigned medically at birth. But she’s not quite sure. She may as well Google it and any other questions she has on bio/medical stuff. She thinks she’s a woman because…

Thank you, @Independent_ie, for publishing my letter responding to @jennymaguir's article on prostitution, though it omitted the crucial final quote from @RachelRMoran: "The humane thing to put in a hungry woman's mouth is food—not your cock."

Here @paddyjogorman is right. It is a good thing to see someone in the Irish media reporting factually that the man who sexually assaulted a teenager in a Rathmines laneway was and is a man. However, read the article. In court, there was much made of the fact that this man does…

Ten years on, it's time to talk. #RepealtheGRA2015 #TimeToTalk

Obviously it would take time away from tweeting vapid slogans and hiring men to be women's representatives, but perhaps @UN_Women might consider addressing the desperate situation of women in Afghanistan.

A highly skilled working class frontline Scottish NHS nurse, who only wanted to change in private, is being defamed in a courtroom aided and abetted by government. And taxpayers are paying for it.

Every single delay and obstruction pushes Scottish independence further down the agenda. Few even talk about it anymore. Many women, especially, ended up being very grateful that it didn’t happen with the first referendum, because Westminster was still in a position to step in…

Just donated all I could spare for this worthy cause. Please share. @BirdyBooky @TheCountessIE @WomensSpaceIre #IStandWithSalGrover

Attached is the statement I have sent @GenevaSolutions today on their article and its refusal to grant me a right of reply. Unfortunately, the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has refused to publish the statement on my mandate's website as I had…

Sounds like Mistress Blake has been reincarnated in the form of a famous writer who loves a good cigar and pays for other women’s legal fights against the against the ducking stool.

If you are a woman or girl in Ireland who has, like I and many others, experienced men invading female spaces and services - changing/shower/toilet facilities, sports, prison facilities, counselling services, intimate services, homeless hostel facilities, refuges, lesbian…
