@Oismur Does she earn enough to support her family, or will they end up being a net drain on the rest or society? I'd definitely be sympathetic to people like her, but there have to be standards.

@Ashguin1 @joakial_ As someone named Paschal, a very rare name in Ireland, I'm partial to uncommon names.

@nikicaga @_glorianas Hey....

@EO_Halloran Irish-Americans, who I love, are fundamentally American. So it shouldn't be surprising that we don't fully understand each other.

@eoinmauricedaly Was there any point since the invasion when you thought it was appropriate to help Ukraine defend itself?

@AaronBastani @residentadviser What would your preferred strategy have been? To just give Russia what it wants when it wants?

@eoinmauricedaly The outcome of any negotiation is in large part a result of the relative strengths of each party, right? If so, does it not stand to reason that Ukraine would suffer more in any negotiation if America, et al. hasn't supported it militarily?

@Max087542020545 @PangurBn10 @hope_pead "Forgive and forget" refers to Irish attitudes to British actions in Ireland in the past. It's not about Irish-Americans, who to their credit have stood by Ireland.

@HeyJimBurgess @CaribbeanRythms @hope_pead I think some spend too much time and energy on another nation's struggles, but Irish people broadly are generally sympathetic to Palestinians without being obsessive.

@kikisknees @hemingernestway @hope_pead And yet what I say is still true

@HeyJimBurgess @CaribbeanRythms @hope_pead Going along with whatever Zionists wants isn't patriotism. You don't have to be a leftist to see that.

@PangurBn10 @hope_pead It's hard to take any of the talk about how we should forgive and forget when our fellow whites bear such hostility towards us.

@HeyJimBurgess @CaribbeanRythms @hope_pead Believe it or not, it's very easy to oppose being swamped with immigrants and to oppose them being ethnically cleansed from their homes.

@hemingernestway @kikisknees @hope_pead Ireland has a much lower Muslim population than Britain. You're talking bollicks.

@MartinCorryTD @james_akw And we wouldn't have to go out of the EU mainstream on that front either. Should be easy. All it needs is political will.

@BowTiedStack @SeanMcCarthyCom It's wild how you dipshits blame Ukrainians for resisting an invasion and not Russia for invading. Contemptible.

@elvisindegarden @james_akw They should apply for a work permit rather than abuse the international protection system.

@rayofoghlu Why wasn't this addressed when the last government came out with its big forestry plan?
