I suppose it's easier to assume that people on the left in the countryside have just never bothered engaging with their friends/neighbours/family/local orgs than admitting that these protests have a well developed and generational worldview that leans right wing
ICTU have got this bang on. They’re “ordinary decent people” when they’re farmers and small business owners. Everyone else is rabble if they protest.
Protests show 'rules of engagement have changed' - ICTU

Two things can be true at the same time: grievances can be real and people struggling, but their protests and the allies they choose completely wrong. And the double standards the state and media applies to them also obvious. The next time there's a strike, see how far you get blocking O'Connell St
You may know we had a family bereavement in late 2025 and while I’m not able to talk about it, my sister, the bravest person in the world, has written a small note and is running the Mini Marathon in memory of our Teddy. Pls read and maybe share or donate: www.gofundme.com/f/teddy-farr...
The TD should be named. All who gave references should be named. Anyone giving references for sex offenders should forfeit the right to stand for election to any position of authority.
The Journal@thejournal.ie · 4mo agoA judge has said it is "quite extraordinary" that a TD and numerous others who provided character references for a former government advisor convicted of sexually exploiting a 13-year-old at a children's camp failed to mention the victim or the "vile nature" of the crime committed. jrnl.ie/7011768
Why would anyone be shocked that they're still blockading. Government just capitulated to two of the heaviest subsidised industries to the tune of .5 billion. They paid the hostages ransom and didn't even get the hostage.
The 'movement' supposedly tryin to ensure that hauliers have affordable access to fuel, is reportedly doing targetted harrassment of the families of drivers trying to deliver fuel. None of this makes sense as protest. It makes entire sense as an extremist attack on our infrastructure. #spéirghorm
Hospitality got around €700m through VAT cuts, which is supposed to be government revenue generated by end user, but instead it benefits rich corporations. This tax cut will simply end up in the hands of oil producers. Any other rich self interest groups need some going out money? #speirgorm

They attacked the Muslim Sisters of Éire, one of the kindest and mostly welcoming groups out on the streets of Dublin providing meals to the unhoused. Fuck every single one of these rat fucks.
Well, now. Who was it who said Aontú was the Irish for bandwagon?
Protestors deciding what gets in and out of ports fuel for emergency services, animal feed and water treatment chemicals, is so wild and dangerous. Only bird brains would back this now

"Anyone who has revelled in the joys of having a disagreement with a 24-carat feminist knows what it is to have your brains sucked out through your nostrils and turned into pancake batter." Kevin Myers, writing for Grift, explains what happened to his brain. We did wonder.
So true - marching is energising! "People whose aims and ideas you may find abhorrent are equally entitled to take to the streets. The difference is that, in terms of numbers, hate is massively outnumbered by love — it’s just that hate gets amplified." www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

“Sell all that you have … and come follow me.” Saint Maria, who shows no sign of parting with the Holy Handbag, quotes Jesus, in whom she professes to believe. #FeckOffIona www.thetimes.com/world/irelan...

Today, Saint Maria of the Holy Handbag references a wealthy US tradwife, while insinuating that women who work outside the home do not get to enjoy the company of their children. These are your options, women. Marry a millionaire or forget your kids! #FeckOffIona
There is no child out there identitying as a hologram, the only way they could put that in a newspaper is to get an attention-seeking dickhead to say it. And even she couldn't bring herself to pretend to have direct experience of dealing with the child.
