My last evening here in Medjugorje, keeping you all in my prayers.
Mr O’Flynn is increasingly the most impressive TD in Leinster House.
Independent Ireland TD, Ken O'Flynn, said that the "latest scandal" which involved HSE staff who "may have been recruited using false international references", was a case of "one travesty of incompetence after another". gript.ie/td-travesty-if…
Praise God! ACN joyfully announces the release of Fr Alphonsus Afina, a priest of the Diocese of Maiduguri, Nigeria, who had been abducted on 1 June 2025 by armed militants and has spent 51 days in captivity.
You see all sorts on social media, but the idea that the World Economic Forum runs stewarding at Croke Park is pure nuts. 🙄
This is beyond insulting. Many of us have been at the forefront of those advocacy battles, too. Here's what actually happened: In your only statement(s) on the Holy Family attack, you failed to express even a scintilla of sympathy and concern for the victims. Instead, you…

Don’t show President Higgins this video - he has staked his reputation and the reputation of our country on his belief that Irish people are capable of every prejudice, except hating Jews.
Tonight a Jewish man was assaulted in an antisemitic hate crime in Dublin, Ireland. He was slapped by this man who said he knew he was Jewish because of his face. In this video, in the immediate aftermath of the assault, you can hear the assaulter scream that he is a…
