To the cyclist who knocked my 15year old daughter down today after he went through a red light at halfpenny Bridge, I will do all in my power to find you as will the garda. Lots of cameras around.
My mam peacefully passed away last night in TLC Citywest nursing home. At 93 she had lived a long healthy 92 and half years before strokes and dementia she had enough. I will miss her but I know she is in no pain now and with my dad. X
@Yollom70
Really important to say some. Not all cyclists break the lights, not all car drivers jump the lights it's the ones who do that risk causing injury or worse to others.
Had 3 unwelcomed visitors to my back garden last night. I disturbed them and end up in a fight. Frightening for partner and kids. Feeling sore and bruised today. Few days rest and I will be fine.
Why is Mary lou invited in talks regarding the assembly in northern ireland. She is not an elected representative in that country, she has said there are 2 sf parties north and south. No wonder dup won't return.
How can a political party support a kidnapping and murder of a irish soldier and garda. This is not the act of war. This was terrorism and money orientated. Annoys me to see sf tds call for fair pay for soldiers. This soldier was murdered and there are people who know who it was
@AbelArriaga10
Sweet mother of Jesus. Please read my tweet again and this time let it sink in. I did not fo through a red light, the pedestrian my daughter had a green light to walk. The cyclist had a red light. He went through the red and knocked her down. She is in a lot of pain now. THINK
@Independent_ie
Imagine how the spar worker feels. If the garda in this case faces any charges then we as a country face a lawless future. Similar to the garda with the 3 burglars driving on the wrong side. It's medals they should be getting .
I made a post regarding mary lou attending a meeting. Lots of interaction. 1 message received has been passed on to the garda earlier today. New account, no surprise there. I'm posting the message without the name for a particular reason which will be explained later. Nice person
At long last the true irish soldiers won't be insulted by those who insisted on also using the name "Óglaigh na hEireann" to remember and honour murderers, rapists and bombers etc etc.
@Johnmcc06501251
Something is up John. I'd worry greatly. Check it is definitely your wife or expect some shocking news inlaws moving in for 6 months plus. I'd seek higher advise than twitter because women will reply to you and they all in it together. Stay safe and well John but run if you must
When you see the sf reps all saying what a great win today was, you have to remember that they speak from both cheeks. Today anyone who celebrated an Irish rugby win is a west brit
@RoryHearneGaffs
How would a first time buyer fair off if they buy a house with a tenant and they can't move in to it. By suggesting this you are in fact stating that landlords can only sell to landlords. Ridiculous statement.
Lots of people who were shocked that anyone would say Peter Mcverry was lying are today suggesting that he is lying when he apologised. I don't believe Peter lied l, however I do believe he was given false/wrong information from someone he trusted.
What has happened to the mutual respect that used ro happen in politics between tds. The would fight their corner on the floor of the dail and on debates on tv but were not nasty, bullying or mean outside. That has changed in the last few years. I personally hold SF responsible
@MarkPaulTimes
I find it ridiculous that the chief medical officer makes an honest observation about a serious situation and a journalist reacts like this. Media heads will be jumping up and down if the situation with covid worsens again. Thankfully we have freedom of speech to say what we see
@Independent_ie
Boyfriend buys gift, girlfriend friend jealous so she ruins the present. Dump the friend as a true friend would not have laughed or tried to ruin your birthday/relationship.
@paddycosgrave
How many gardai have been injured in those 8 years. Nobody should be at risk of injury or death in work or on the way to school. Your hated of gardai recently is quite staggering . I am sure if you needed them, you'd be complaining over how long it took them to get there.
@ianalfa8
It's wrong. Her phone smashed,jeans, jacket and tee shirt destroyed. Luckily no breaks. Swelling and shock. I'm so annoyed that they did it and cycled away without checking on her. Thankfully she was with a friend.
One of my grandfathers was in the irish for over 30 years. Served with pride. He was not or ever a member or volunteer in the ira. There is only one irish army and this needs to be acknowledged by especially sf and its followers.
@courtsnewsIRL
What planet are some of these judges from. Sentences need to be consistent. This has to be the top of the scale. 15 years plus should be the starting point for this type of crime. Too many get light Sentences which has to cause further pain to the victim. Hope the girl is ok
@RoryHearneGaffs
27,000 homeless in Holland. 10000 plus in Amsterdam. I assume you knew this but ignored this fact to try and push your personal agenda.
@paulmurphy_TD
I wonder will he change the name of the party, then leave and set up a new party then leave that and join another party. No he wouldn't do that, who in their right mind would do such a thing!!!!! Eh Paul!!!!!!!
@GarethOCal
As an agent, I assume its his job to get the best deal possible for his client. He has successfully achieved that. Lots of celebrities have agents.
@BrigidPurcell
Just because she has a different opinion to PBP, this does not make her a national embarrassment. Many people differ from PBPs opinion but don't insult because of this. She is entitled to her say, that's called free speech.
Would you let a paedophile who has served their time work in a school,or a bank robber work in a bank. I think you know where I'm coming from.The GFA speaks of employment but common sense must prevail in it. How could you have a murderer advise or be minister of justice
@Caolanmcaree
Thankfully we live in a democracy, its not about who deserves a shot. It's about what people want and don't want. If mary lou can't get or negotiate with others then she won't run the country. This has been probably the hardest time to lead a country. Easy to oppose everything
I'm a firm believer in the statements that we learn something everyday. Yesterday I learned that if you question mary lou, SF north or south,history, geography etc you will get abuse, threats etc etc. Is this the big change Sf keep talking about.
@kweevah
How do you think it will be paid off in 4 years. The owner has to pay taxes, and looks to have refurbished the property. They could be looking at a return in 15 to 20 years.
@paddycosgrave
What was your thinking when you decided to tweet this today ?. What did you hope to achieve ?. Who did you want to hurt ?. Was it necessary to do it so soon after the man's death?.
How can any man woman or child stand over this and class the ira as soldiers of ireland. The people who planned/ordered/murdered this woman can never day they did this for the good of ireland. Shame on them and their supporters who agree with this as "no alternative"
On this day in 1972, the Provisional IRA abducted, tortured, and murdered Jean McConville, a widowed mother-of-ten, in Belfast.
Her body was not found until 2003.
Former IRA members Brendan Hughes and Dolours Price both alleged that Gerry Adams ordered McConville's murder.
@Independent_ie
How can you blame the gardai, the arrested a person suspected of the crime based on evidence they had qnd they eliminated him from the crime. Is that not their role. The media and media police named him, some shared photos of him without any proof. Who's to blame ?
@RoryHearne
Did any single player buy more houses in 2021 than the state. If none of the other players bought more than 5200 new homes then he is correct.
@AnnTravers6
The way sf have jumped upon this is disgusting. To hear mary lou talking about apology when she won't apologise to victims of ira. As for the wanting soldiers charged but saying nothing about the letters of comfort is 2 faced. People need to see sf for what they really are.
@HelenORahilly
I have a feeling there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. Too easy to blame the government and penalise the taxpayers completely.
@chrissmyth5
@newschambers
At least Mr tayto will get 12 euro extra a week on the dole and a few lump sums to help out over the winter. Crap time to lose your job
@OfYokes
@Genevieve_OM
Definitely, its cooking equipment. Plus read what excitement has been caused and the effects that it will have. A hugh boost in mental health and happiness, and you try to burst that, I'd say you're the life and soul of the party.
A person earning €100,000 and wishing to purchase a home can borrow up to€350,000 . This won't buy you a lot of houses in dublin. Yet sf won't to raise taxes on this person. Sf are chasing students for their votes, I hope students realise if they get a job paying well.sf taxes
The notion of an United Ireland sounds lovely but in reality it will cost 20 billion a year for at least 20 years. That can only mean a higher taxation in the Republic and a cut in services. The bailout was bad for us, this is the equivalent of a third of a bailout every year ???
@Noah_Halpin
Turning a traffic stop into a race issue is beyond belief. A mouthy passenger who's wants to make a name for themselves is not helping the taxi man's case. There is a procedure that the taxi man can follow, as a professional driver he should know these. Not a race issue ,
@theglamchop
I know how she feels, we have to use our money to buy food every week for our family and 1 dog. We also have to pay for electricity, heating etc etc all from our own money.
@mjc0ughl4n
I also feel noel rock has to be up there. The manner in which he carries himself while under constant abuse and insults is a testament to a nice person. Whether it coffee, smiling or donations to homeless , he has been insulted and still remains calm. Pity he is not a td.
@FrancieMolloy
Such a sad thing to happen to a family. However I don't see the name of their murderer celebrated every year as a soldier of ireland and a brave hero and rightly so. He was a murderer and so are all murderers especially who kill kids and use bombs when it could explode anytime
@TadghMurphy10
Its striking sometimes how Councillors, tds and reps from sf forget this type of thing. They pretty see, hear or know nothing and always end their statements by saying " I am open to speak to the gardai ". How long will their supporters be stupid as to swallow this shite. 🐑🐑
What is the difference between the people who tried to murder a PSNI officer last night and the people who tried to and did murder member of the Garda/PSNI before the GFA. For some the ones now are criminals yet the ones before are patriots. New ira, provisional ira, etc etc=same
@davidhall75
It's amazing how many people seem to know the facts about this situation but said nothing about allegations or the victims before now. To see the accusations about david is totally unfair. Very few take no expenses. Maybe wait until the investigations are done.
I jumped the gun last night by assuming that a defamation case myself and Elaine had against Jasonlambertsf had been sorted.i was told that I would receive apology in email and legal costs would be sorted today. As of close of business today no email. On to court soon I assume
@opheliabyrne
Well done comrade ophelia, I had half a mind to join too. But I was told having half a mind was too much as I might start thinking for myself
I can't see why louise oreilly waved an identifiable photo of that person in the dail. He may have alcohol or drug issues, he may be homeless but it shows that sf don't care about people. It's all for votes. Disgusting behaviour, lower than low from her and her party.
@TadghMurphy10
They are already rewriting history and their trolls are treating it as fact. Anyone who voices their opinion are attacked by trolls and classed as west brits.
@DwightNannys
I find it so insulting. People were asked not to bring pride banners. However sf decide we will attend behind a banner and have photos. They don't care what the families want. So insulting
@Mick_Finnegan
I was given advice once, try and press reset and remember they are at fault not you. I see mine on tv every so often, a hero, a people's champion but I know different and so does he. You are doing brilliant, enjoy your life now.
@otrosnosotros
@LeoVaradkar
What should he do. Leave it empty when the opposition is against empty premises. 1600 is not the highest either. Its ridiculous the things that people are upset by. I would have thought pirates would have been less likely to be upset by this sort of news.
@SpotterIrish
At this point sf have brainwashed enough people into believing that Jean like so many were casualties of a war fought in our name which is bullshit. Classing a bus bomber as a soldier and saying their side were murdered by the British army is unbelievable.
Why are people horrible to others they don't even know. They make up stuff to try and reinforce their lies too. Rory Cowan is an entertainer. He can block who he wants.He went on dance show, had fun,got paid. People crying now " He blocked me for no reason" there is always reason
@MichealMartinTD
This is what our politicians have been doing, not shouting and screaming at protests or wanting people expelled. Our government has shown leadership throughout this.
How come SF and its followers are vocal on Mica affected properties and yet in Northern Ireland where SF share power nothing is being done to help these residents out. Is this a case of " do as I say and not as I do"
Owners of luxury apartments in Belfast city centre who were forced to abandon them because of structural defects have been told they will not receive a penny of compensation
@nealerichmond
What would a single individual earning 75,000 a year get a mortgage for. I'm reckoning about 350,000. Payments would leave them struggling to live but sf won't give them a cent.
@FinuchanO
@philipnolan1
Poor finuchan with his made up account. A little coward behind the keyboard. I would not waste my breath on him philip, obviously a lonely with jealous issues.

@women4election
Does this not look strange. Women4election want people to vote in more women, fair enough. To achieve this, they appoint a man to the position, was there no women suitable enough.

@LeoVaradkar
@SimonHarrisTD
That looks a very natural photo of politicians bumping into each other and having a laugh. I read earlier of a similar situation with an other party that their canvassers started shouting abuse. Shows the class that is lacking in some parties.
