Absolutely devastating and powerful testimony by @MalachySteenson on the drugs scourge and the push for liberalisation for drugs that are killing young people and leading family members to be beaten, intimidated and squeezed to pay the debts of addicted family members. Ireland is now a top-5 global leader in cocaine use. Those pushing for liberalisation of Ireland's drug laws are either benefitting from the drug crisis - through funding for their NGOs - are happily oblivious because the problem hasn't reached their doorstep - yet, or engage in a little recreational habit themselves on the weekend. I was shocked to hear the degree to which drugs - particularly cocaine - has taken hold of rural Co. Clare on my most recent trip back. Full support for Cllr. Steenson on this. 👇👇👇

They're doing what they did to Powerscourt Hotel. The institutionally leftist and authoritarian national media browbeat, stigmatise, attempt to ruin any private enterprise that dares to deviate from their diktats. Powerscourt is now being sued by Thiel. And Trump would be correct to do the same if the European Tour were to bend the knee. Best of all, of course, would be for private enterprises to to sue the Irish Times Trust and other outlets sullying their reputations for conducting private enterprise and sue them into oblivion. It would be a national service. 👇👇👇

Regarding the persistent placing of rugs and mats and other items on Tullamore Church property. Please see the photos below which have been kindly provided by yet more Tullamore residents. The photos were provided to vindicate and corroborate the claims made on the original post, but more importantly because these persons felt they could not sit back and witness the integrity of their neighbours being questioned when their only motivation was to protect the sacred nature of their place of worship from acts of disrespect. It is my understanding that further corroboration will issue later today after additional confirmation was provided that incidents such as those below have taking place routinely over a 2-3 week period. The local residents have been completely vindicated and claims around potential fabrication or malicious intent have now been categorically put to rest. @Midlands103 @Offaly_Express .

In case you were wondering, yes, The Westmeath Independent - as part of Celtic Media Group - are bought and paid for by government grants. Celtic Media group has received more than half a million Euro in CnaM grants in 2026 alone.🤷‍♂️

It's quite quite interesting how many people I find on a daily basis who have me pre-emptively blocked. People I've never communicated with. In some cases, like this, they're politics professors at DCU. Which tells you a lot about the ideological capture of our universities. You'd think a politics professor at DCU would be very interested in the author of the breakthrough Irish politics book of the year. How odd. 🤷‍♂️

€125 million could bring a lot of Irish emigrants with useful skills home. Would make a morale-boosting tax reduction for the working man & woman. Would replace a lot of wooden telephone poles out west. etc. etc. A shame Irish political parties don't work for the Irish.🤷‍♂️

🇮🇪🚨 The logical fallacy that "Ireland needs migrants or our healthcare system would collapse" to justify mass uncontrolled immigration needs to be dismantled. Saying "our health sector needs migrants" ignores that migrant-driven population growth also creates much of the extra demand for healthcare. It only looks at one side of the equation. "Our health sector needs migrants" is a circular argument when migration is driving most population growth in Ireland. More people create more demand for the very services they're supposedly needed to staff. The fallacy behind "our health sector needs migrants" is ignoring demand. If migration drives population growth in Ireland, it also drives demand for healthcare. You can't justify mass migration by claiming we need more healthcare workers when mass migration is also increasing demand for healthcare. That's only half the equation.

Catholic Church of the Assumption. Tullamore. Despite repeated requests from locals over a number of weeks, the Muslim residents living nearby have refused to stop hanging their prayer mats and rugs from the Church's railings. Zero social etiquette or act of social dominance?

Since 2020, only 33% of all new houses built in Ireland have been made available on the private market each year. I noted this trend in Vandalising Ireland - particularly state intervention via county councils and NGO housing charities. It has led to a catastrophic home-ownership crisis that now sees 40% of *working* Irish people under the age of 35 living in their parental home. While the government brags about house completions - see Micheal Martin's X account for any number of photo ops of him in a hard hat shovelling dirt at a camera - last year out of the 36,246 new completions, only 12,135 were sold on the open market to private households. The trend of locking young, hard-working Irish people in their childhood bedrooms shows no signs of abating. Combined, investment funds and the state now block buy an outright majority of houses built each year. Approximately 42% are block purchased by investors. Approximately 25% of houses were acquired by the state through county councils, NGOs, housing charities and Part V acquisitions. The 2025 number represents a 14% jump in state acquisitions on 2024. While it provides good photo ops for FF/G, it adds to the pressure on private home buyers. The trend over the past 5 years shows that even if the state delivers more housing units, the benefit to the private buyer remains negligible. The government has continued to do nothing useful to tax investment funds out of the private market allowing them to take the lion's share of new builds each year. Not only are they allowing said investment firms to dominate the private housing market, but they - the government - are now in increasing competition with the private buyer for remaining stock. As also noted in Vandalising Ireland, none of this touches on the fact that non-EU nationals, particularly Indians being brought into the country in staggering numbers to fill well-paid health and IT jobs also have the pick of private stock due to their status as an overnight upper middle class import. Again, this squeezes the native. This will have an extremely mercenary effect on Irish culture also. Because of the squeeze any native Irish involved in the arts and humanities, or non-FDI ready research jobs have no option but to leave Ireland. Art, culture and humanities have no place in a country where the price of pursuing such fields is permanent exile to your childhood bedroom. It will make Ireland uglier, greyer and less human. Which is a disaster in a time of increased 'diversity'. Importantly, the gap between state acquired social housing taken from public stock and privately available stock to natives, particularly young natives, is closing and that removes any doubt - for those still in need of convincing - that Ireland is one of the most socialist states in the developed world. Ireland is rapidly hearing towards a socialist/globalist alliance situation where private homeownership will be a thing of the past and people's options will be social housing or lifetime rental from a profit-driven investment firms. That is cause for revolt in my book.

Any immigrant who enters the state illegally should be barred from accessing welfare and other benefits. We cannot have an open border policy and a welfare state. People who break the entry rules shouldn't get the same benefits as those who follow them. This is reckless policy. This is why taxpayers are angry, it's their paycheck paying for it. #MakeWorkPay# #Budget2027# #ImmigrationMadness#

Helen Ogbu has published this image of herself with a glowing Micheal Martin at the Galway/Cork All Ireland Hurling semi-final today. We have all been waiting for him to address the scandal and here it is. Instead of demanding transparency as the leader of the country and a member of an opposition party, he stands grinning with her. Ireland is a crippled democracy. There is no opposition, just a cabal all looking out for one another as they advance and enrich themselves while mocking the public and erasing the nation. More important than ever to keep digging on Ogbu!
