  1. Sinn Fein abstaining on this should be instructive as to their current positioning on amendments to the abortion regulations, prioritising their own upcoming bill on the topic, in other words it's playing politics with people's real world concerns. Cynical to the core.

  6. I don't think the comparison holds water, in that case it was genuinely expensive, by comparison €127k is significantly more reasonable, but also the Leinster house bike shed wasn't publicly accessible and fed into a conception of the politicos lavishing largesse on themselves. A bike shed at a hospital is by contrast an amenity for everyone, very different.

  7. Over 300,000 British soldiers were sent to #NorthernIreland during 25 years of #TheTroubles.

    Those troops killed 315 people. The overwhelming majority were Catholic civilians including women, 2 priests, and over 60 children. But only a handful of #BritishArmy prosecutions took place. Few were convicted, and many of those were released early.

    Time to stop pandering to victim-makers, says #MarkThompson.

  12. That's a phenomenally crass comparison to make. He shouldn't have been stunned either, implicitly criticising the neutrality of another state while on an official visit isn't diplomatically sensible.
