Yes. We know it's raining in Gaza. It's also raining in Israel. Difference is, in Israel we have the infrastructure to handle rain because we didn't start a stupid war and then lose the stupid war. Cry more.

You and I both know how brutal it is to do a doctorate - at least do one the right way. I can't really begin to imagine what kind of a person fakes that in such a brazen fashion. More worryingly, how the hell did NUIG allow this to happen? Maybe what he was teaching - and the politics that come with it - is the clue.

We started the week with Trinity Professor Ronan Lyons being stripped of his Bestseller status after it emerged Daft - who he has worked for for 20 years - block bought his book to push it to No. 1. We end the week with an NUIG 'fake news expert' faking having a doctorate. It's a start but there's a hell of a lot more dead wood in academia to be cut out.

When I was in the IDF I was in the Navy and my job was to train octopuses to do auto erotic asphyxiation on Palestinians. I am breaking the silence.

Highlighting and promoting @defenceforces at every opportunity should be a priority, in order to assist with recruitment and to engage with the public. Building international relationships are also important.

My PhD was 10 years ago, and I know the title of it. I know people who have done PhD by prior publication and they too can still tell you their titles. A PhD consumes a considerable amount of your life - if it didn't you're not doing it right. This lad has questions to answer

Whatever one thinks about the conflict, Albanese is clearly unhinged and it does nothing for Ireland to treat her as a sage, rather than an advocate for one side.
Francesca Albanese: “Israel has always killed children... torture, even rape... raped by dogs trained in European countries. European people are profiting from selling dogs that will rape people.” Irish Sen. Chris Andrews: “Thank you for your ongoing advocacy. It's inspiring.”

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?
Scandalous. Over €1000 a week. Over €52k tax free a year. That’s a salary of €74k. I don’t get that working and I’m closing on the end of my career.

Again, for the umpteenth time; under ECJ judgements Dano (2014) and Alimanovic (2015) there is NO OBLIGATION on Ireland to make these welfare payments, so why are we doing it?

Amid the bomb threats and flight diversions this morning, a statement from Aer Lingus confirmed that flight EI402 from Dublin to Rome "diverted to Normandy this morning as a security precaution." How interesting that Iran’s Islamic regime would target Irish carriers.

Yes. A very important meeting with a hugely discredited Fascist Antisemite. You obviously have lots of shared interests.
Important meeting today with UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs. Ireland will not forget about Palestine and will continue to stand up for the UN, its representatives, and international law.

I want you to imagine this was a headline about Trump.
The Houses of the Oireachtas Service has signed a contract worth an estimated €400,000 plus VAT for the supply of its own-brand wine to Leinster House. 🧵

Conservatively, more than half of Irish software engineering jobs in the private sector will be wiped out in the coming 12 months. Software development is over. Are we ready? educationtimes.com/news/canv… – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland

Exhibit 1 in Gerard Howlin's take down of @FineGael in @IrishTimes today "In the absence of a moderate centre-right, Ireland is vulnerable to populism or even extremism" Lending credibility to the person called to resign by France, Germany, Italy @FineGaelBrux @higginsdavidw

Ignoring the bots (which I usually just block) - it fascinates me how many on here are either willfully blind to the fact that these are hybrid warfare tactics. Designed to cause chaos. And one country loves to cause chaos and disruption.
🚨 Airplane bomb threat now to @AerLingus. This after several hybrid threats and attacks across Europe, and ahead of the major European summit in #Dublin next week. Does anyone still deny Ireland faces serious security threats?

There's another wave of bomb threats against airline flights in Europe. Including targeting Irish flights. So much for #Ireland being 'neutral', hey lads? 🤷‍♂️ Russia's hybrid war against all things Europe, including Ireland and the Irish, reaches a new level. #TripleLock
