Irish Patriot, loyal to the Crown. And recidivist unionist & inveterate Hibernophobe, apparently.

Ferriter identifies a national pastime: “… this era when there is, in some quarters, such a cavalier & dangerous distortion of history and contempt for evidence, and where skewed and selective accounts of the past are weaponised, with devastating results.”irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…
As the Irish Times disgraces itself again by publishing Justine McCarthy’s unbalanced diatribe against Israel, it’s not hard to see why Ireland is among the most antisemitic countries in Europe. irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…
Who is this young Catholic priest with the serious eyes? Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI.
This has become very worrying now.
It was not preached to the crowd, It was not taught by the State. No man spoke it aloud, When the English began to hate. It was not suddenly bred, It will not swiftly abate, Through the chill years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the English began to hate.

Psychoanalysis is a science conducted by lunatics for lunatics.
Sage advice: “… to find a red Rhône that reconciles the quantity currently required with the expenditure currently available you must travel further south, into the Ardèche, home to the vineyards of St Joseph”.
Baffling.
Forgive the second story (I haven't myself been to the UK in a very long time) but a Dublin taxi driver friend of a friend recently visited London and said it looked to him considerably less enriched than Dublin. And London is officially majority non white...

Spain giving Ireland a run for its money in the ‘most antisemitic European nation’ category. After 50 French Jewish children were thrown off a Vueling plane because one of them said a Hebrew word, the Spanish Minister referred to them as Israeli brats (other passengers said they…

Published by the lads who don’t much like references to Irish antisemitism: “No Irish person needs to be reminded about racism in British society. Nonetheless, something has shifted since the pandemic, says [the] co-convener of Stand Up to Racism.” irishtimes.com/culture/tv-rad…
The Northern Ireland Protocol is a hideous imposition that is without precedent in any country. To have a foreign imposed bureaucracy on trade within our own country is an outrage and nothing other than its complete abrogation is acceptable from either Reform or the Tories.
Intertwined Hibernian challenges: •Bureaucratic inefficiencies proliferate •A lack of dialogue •Overregulation in the permitting process •Not having a dedicated minister of defence •The lack of a comprehensive national security or maritime security strategy
Approximately three-quarters of subsea cables in the Northern Hemisphere pass near or through Irish waters, making it a critical nexus for international connectivity. Read more on the future of subsea cables from @CSIS_PPD: csis.org/analysis/strat…
“The proof of it is that 20 years later the IRA isn’t a feature. Some may want to make it a feature, invent, fabricate & so on …” Including Taoiseach Varadkar who found it expedient to use reported threats of violence to advance his political objectives. newsletter.co.uk/news/politics/…
The corruption of the institutions in John Hume’s Ireland.
My sister Mary was so proud of St Mary’s. She loved that college . Yet they have never acknowledged her . She was murdered by the Provisional IRA . Mary was a 1st Class Honours student. Now this same college is hosting Jim McVeighs book , a former IRA member.
If they did, they'd have to go to the Reform one. So they'd rather do none of them.

Martin McGuinness was a freedom fighter, a political prisoner, he was a negotiator, a peacemaker, a healer. He had a passion for politics but was also very spiritual, and interested in nature. He was hugely interested in people.
The fiction is how ex terrorists portray themselves. Magee put a no warning bomb in a hotel full of civilians & was “relieved” when it detonated. It’s only because British justice is so merciful he is at large to enjoy literary conversations - he denied many others such freedom.
ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Patrick Magee in conversation with Danny Morrison 📆Tuesday 5th August 2pm 📍Áras Úi Chonghaile This event will explore how Irish republicans are portrayed in fiction, and how it has been used as a political tool of British Propaganda. No booking required.
Hibernian logic: “If financing a regime accused of genocide doesn’t meet that threshold, what does?” irishtimes.com/politics/2025/…
This is a very balanced and detailed account of the food and aid situation in Gaza. It's clear that a ceasefire is the only way forward to ease suffering. International pressure must be brought to bear on Hamas.
There is more than enough food in Gaza to feed everyone. There is no blockade. The food is simply not reaching some people because distribution has been poor for 21 months due to Hamas, a complicit UN, and inadequate aid agencies. GHF does not yet have capacity to fill that void.…
