How odd - it's been several days since the head of the Hope and Courage Collective made a verifiably false claim on live TV, saying "We're not [funded by the State] actually", when they are, yet there's been no sign of The Journal's fact check yet. Any day now I'm sure. 🤪

Hundreds of police officers are on standby tonight and this weekend for possible violence across Northern Ireland. The PSNI has thanked the officers from across the UK who are supporting them through mutual aid. @BelTel

I’m pretty sure the Iranian people in general feel betrayed by the US for this looming deal with their oppressors. They’re not alone: Israelis, Emiratis , Lebanese and Bahrainis, to name a few, probably share the sentiment. Not a good look for the leader of the free world.

Could we get this clear once and for all.This is Joan Donaghue the former President of the ICJ who presided over the hearing of the case taken by South Africa and IRELAND against Isreal.Have a listen to the OUTCOME. Did @rte cover it ? Did @MichealMartinTD cover it in the Dail?

Heading into Fingal County Council's Annual Meeting this afternoon. Election of Cathaoirleach, Leas Chathaoirleach & area committee chairs. Five leadership positions on the table and from where I'm sitting, the outcomes were decided in private rooms between the bigger parties long before any vote is cast. I wasn't part of those conversations, and neither were the people who elected me.

BREAKING: The man killed in a car crash in Limerick this week was a hired assassin on his way to carry out a hit. Understand the hitman held a Swedish passport, loaded gun found in car & his driver who fled on foot left his phone behind. More: thesun.ie/news/17091397/lime…

In October, I signed a bipartisan letter expressing concern to Ireland over its proposed legislation which would unfairly target Israel. This bill is now scheduled for debate.   If enacted, this legislation would criminalize importing goods from many Israeli businesses and could significantly harm American businesses operating in Ireland.    I continue to stand with my colleagues in urging them to withdraw the bill.

In October, I led a bipartisan letter urging Ireland not to move forward with its Occupied Territories Bill, an anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) measure. I was encouraged when the bill was shelved. Surprisingly, it's now scheduled to be debated this week. Let's be clear about what this bill is: a one-sided measure that singles out Israel while ignoring territorial disputes everywhere else in the world. And, it could come with a real cost. U.S. companies in Ireland could be forced to choose between complying with Irish law and complying with anti-boycott laws in thirty-eight American states. I continue to stand with my colleagues in urging them to withdraw the bill. irishexaminer.com/news/polit…
