f you're a journalist who received threats from Brand's lawyers, please publish them (redacting anything identifying victims).
If you can't publish, send them to me confidentially or anonymously. I'll always protect my sources.

Everyone says Russell Brand silenced his victims for years with legal threats.
Let's see those threats.
Lawyers will keep silencing victims and journalists in the shadows until we expose what they're doing.

Yet literally only a month ago on budget day the Government increased the dole rate for the long-term unemployed and left the new higher, pay-related payment for those only recently unemployed unchanged.
Simon Harris says penalties on the way for those who treat dole as ‘a way of life’

Russia vetoed the renewal of MINURSO, the unarmed UN mission in Western Sahara, on Oct 30 and it lapsed. Irish DF served in it for 30 years, and Ireland has always backed it. Whatever Moscow's objections to the text, one P5 vote ended a mission 11 Council members wanted renewed.
Russia has never vetoed an Irish peacekeeping mission. The only country that actually did so was the US (in August 2025, when Washington insisted on winding down the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon).
One might reasonably expect the Taoiseach to know this. Particularly when he's lecturing others about Irish neutrality.

Neutral Austria can scramble fighters to escort aircraft facing bomb threats. Ireland cannot.
Ireland has no fighter-interceptor capability and relies on NATO members, particularly the RAF, to protect its airspace while claiming neutrality.
The contradiction is staggering.

It has to be said and it's not "far right" to state facts. A working person has to earn 74k to take home 52k. A person with 9 kids on welfare takes home the same amount. That doesn't include HAP or any other welfare payment. These are just facts, where's the incentive to work?

Sinn Féin is awfully quiet about tonight's Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation debate.

False narratives, regarding any future involvement of @defenceforces in proposed missions to Lebanon are utterly disgraceful and should be called out.
Well said @HMcEntee
