Ireland must not play Israel at any venue - moving the game doesn’t address the reality that Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people. @FAIreland #StopTheGame

Two cheeks of the same arse, surely now nobody can say anything different

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael told you this was impossible without action at EU level Spain and the Netherlands did it overnight.

Republic of Ireland’s Nations League draw against Israel has caused no shortage of debate within Ireland, in both the political and sporting spheres. Nowhere has this been more prevalent than at Irish club Drogheda United, whose chairperson, Joanna Byrne, is also a Teachta Dala (TD, a member of the Irish parliament) for the political party Sinn Fein, for whom she is the spokesperson on sport and culture. Byrne has said the club’s board of directors asked her to resign over her demands for Republic of Ireland not to fulfil its Nations League games against Israel, owing to the conflict in Gaza. Byrne said in a statement last Wednesday that she would “resist” calls from Drogheda’s board for her to leave the post. Drogheda’s principal sponsor, Sullivan and Lambe, subsequently said it would be “actively reviewing” its relationship with the club in light of the episode.

Consistent mental health data needed to support those struggling - @OrlaithiF_MLA "People who are struggling and their families deserve to be assured that the care they are receiving is compassionate, appropriate and timely." sinnfein.ie/news/consistent-…

This is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest displays of irony I have ever seen. Larry Murrin has to go.

Unthinkable to play Israel while a genocide continues – @MaryLouMcDonald "I’m calling on the FAI to take a moral stance, to take an Irish position and call out Israel and call out genocide. Let Ireland lead." sinnfein.ie/news/unthinkable…

Too many people in mental health crisis are being forced into overcrowded A&E's that are not designed or staffed to meet their needs. People in distress deserve timely, safe care. Dedicated crisis supports saves lives.

There's great precedent in ireland for the success of boycotting countries that commit atrocities against humanity. This is a good first step, now enact the occupied territories bill with services included

Super stoked to be one of @SimulatedSun's top viewers this year. In the age of mis and disinformation, it is more important than ever to know how to spot, reject and challenge pseudoscience and anti-establishment bias.

Uniting people must happen alongside uniting the country. To delay one for the other betrays the Good Friday Agreement. #UnitedIreland #ConnollyForPresident #vmtvdebate #aras25

Jim Gavin and Heather Humphrey’s couldn’t care less about a United Ireland. They haven’t crossed the border once during this campaign. Catherine Connolly has. She has shown that she is a President for All. #TonightVMTV #connollyforpresident #aras2025

Catherine Connolly is the only candidate tonight talking about Irish unity with honesty, respect, and inclusion. #vmtvdebate #aras25 #ConnollyForPresident #TonightVMTV

Phenomenal quote.

Jim Gavin will 'work for Irish Unity' during his presidency. Just not so hard that it will happen during his presidency. #TonightVMTV #connollyforpresident

Housing is the greatest social injustice of our time. A silent Presidency would be a failed Presidency. #tonightvmtv #aras25 #ConnollyForPresident #HousingCrisis

Heather Humphrey’s just owned up to her party not achieving what they wanted to achieve while being in Government. They’ve been in government for about 50% of the time since the foundation of the free state, its like they’re new to this… #TonightVMTV #connollyforpresident

Heather Humphreys’ record is ‘doing her best and not achieving'. FG & FF have failed Ireland, they can’t even house the most vulnerable. Don’t give them a free house in the Áras. #TonightVMTV #ConnollyForPresident

Catherine Connolly talking about housing :

"the government need to do more" My brother in christ you're representing the government!!
