Shocked to see that @rtenews uses a map with Crimea not being a part of Ukraine in the video accompanying article about 🇷🇺 shadow fleet rte.ie/news/primetime… We believe that this is an honest mistake that will be fixed promptly. @jackiefox_
How Morocco became America's oldest friend - ShareAmerica - I’m🇺🇸glad @SecRubio is honoring our ties with Morocco🇲🇦; H.E. Omar Hilale @Morocco_UN informed me years ago and we celebrated same at “Diwali Stamp - Power of One” Awards at UN. share.america.gov/how-morocco-be…
If we are serious about #defence then the future is about #retention all the new hardware although welcome will not fix the @naval_service or @IrishAirCorps. The #Post2013 is the problem. @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD rte.ie/news/primetime…

My tweets about Kharkiv feel almost invisible today. I keep retweeting them over and over again so the world doesn’t miss what russia is doing to civilians there. Please don’t scroll past. Let it be seen.
❗️The number of injured in russian aerial attack on Kharkiv has risen to 42, among them six children and two pregnant women.

The simple truth is that the #Post2013 pension is killing retrntion in the #FrontlineServices of @gardainfo, @defenceforces #FireService & @PrisonService. The failure of the civil service to recognise this means it will take a political decision to fix the problem. The problem…
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Minister for Justice is failing to make any progress at all in tackling the recruitment and retention crisis in An Garda Síochána. Figures released to me show that a grand total of just 7 extra members this year! sinnfein.ie/news/minister-…
It is all to easy to forget that #PutinWarCriminal is still murdering innocent #Ukrainian children, women & men. We can not let any conflict perpetrated by any #WarCriminals overshadow what is happening in #Ukraine. We must holdfast in.our support for Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his…
When visiting @OireachtasNews recently had some’UWW’ splaining given to me by an ‘obvious’ expert who had exactly no maritime/naval experience. Apparently one towed array will solve the problem - who knew? 32years in @RoyalNavy chasing 🇷🇺 didn’t qualify me . @GCraughwell
It is truly embarrassing to sit and watch @RTE_PrimeTime tonight. I and others have been speaking for over 10 years on our vulnerability at sea. Yes we are getting #Sonar & #PrimaryRadar. Who will use or interpre sonar or radar output? When will government wake up to their…

I am proud of @MichealMartinTD and the stance he has taken on the #genocide being perpetrated by #Netanyahu. Those with the power to stop these #WarCriminals must act now.
Where are the fair minded people are we back in 1939 to 1945 where the genocide of the Nazi days. Is #Netanyahu as bad as #Hitler? The Israeli people must rise up and stop the murder of innocence. All #WarCriminals must be held to account. @unsc @realDonaldTrump
#Gaza is starving. Children are dying and the #WarCriminal #Netanyahu blames the #UN. I there is a hell then I hope #Netanyahu & his henchmen roast there. We have not seen humans treated so badly since the person 1939 to 1945. Godhelp the innocent of #Gaza, #WestBank,…
JUST IN: Trump’s approval has dropped to 37%, his lowest this term per new Gallup poll. 58% disapprove. People are finally seeing through the fraud.
Valencia Co Kerry 🇮🇪 Sub-sea cables were vital pieces of infrastructure over 100 years ago, arguably more so today in the digital world. The ability to monitor and protect vital for a functioning modern economy. It's time to fix defence @SimonHarrisTD
So the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Defence and National Security are debating amendments. Can it be that some want to retain this madness #TripleLock where the King of #UnitedKingdom has power over the deployment of Irish troops once again. What next from those wushing to…
The situation in Gaza is horrific. The suffering of civilians and the death of innocent children is intolerable. I echo the call by Foreign Ministers of 28 countries for all hostages to be released, and for a surge in humanitarian aid. This war must end and it must end now.
Thank you, Senator Craughwell @GCraughwell for your courageous and unwavering stand for human rights in #Iran. At a time when the regime is preparing for another potential massacre of political prisoners, your voice is a beacon of moral clarity. Silence enables brutality—your…
Ireland and the #EU must intervene to save lives of political prisoners and prevent massacre in Iran's prisons I & many who call for a free #Iran are alarmed over the increasing threat of #MassExecutions of #PoliticalPrisoners, #HumanRights activists and #PoliticalDissidents in…
