It can not be ignored that Derek Blighe got over 25,000 first preferences. This is a man who has propounded the "great replacement theory"; referred to "plantations"; and called the Ukrainian war a "fake war". He is by any measure Far-right, despite what McGuirk might say.

In 2022 Wallace and Daly sued RTE for defamation for undisclosed reason. This was flagged as a potential threat to press freedom by index on censorship. They also tried to get Naomi O'Leary's credentials revoked, while appearing on state media of countries like Iran. Cheerio.
“I have no interest in talking to you lot,” Clare Daly told reporters after she was eliminated following count 17.

The worst thing about this comment is the use of the term "Irish people" as if the Provos had popular support throughout the island. SF never had electoral support until well after the Provo ceasefire. This re-writing of history is reprehensible.

Ben Norton is one of the very worst people on Twitter. That is an achievement of sorts. His entire left wing philosophy is predicated on shilling for autocratic regimes that suppress and crush all worker movements.
Ben deleted this tweet when multiple people pointed out there was a video of the moment he died, and the Belarusian authorities story was a complete fabrication. Thankfully there's people actually fact-checking claims from authoritarian regimes rather than just regurgitating them
