That question about who his favourite Irish man at last week's meeting was probably a plant. Did MM say anything in response (I haven't seen any footage)?

Not at all. MDH can praise Iran, an appalling state that, amongst other things, executes children, and can mourn Fidel Castro, a man whose regime tortured and murdered many innocent people. MDH can also insult Jewish people as he did at the recent Holocaust memerorial service. Not a word from MM...

Is McGregor not thinking of running for the Aras? The current occupant has politised the office with his publicly-expressed views so it is hard to be critical of any 2025 candidate making political statements that a lot of people are uncomfortable with.

"The worst is the people ..." seem to enjoy strong support from the Irish diaspora in the US.

Better to give Trump his favourite chocolate. It's great for the complexion.

Pure harassment. Something with which looney lefties like yourself are comfortable.

The smack of good, firm government here as the Trump administration pulls 400 million dollars from Columbia University for its brazen, heavy-handed antisemitism...

Also described as the greatest pub hurling team of all time. Those lads knew how to party. You could almost see their fitness pick up in the matches against Clare in 1998 (that Clare side being the first super-fit IC hurling team).

Could start with cutting funding to lobby groups such as National Women's Council, Alcohol Ireland, etc. There is plenty more waste to be found with the savings best given back to the taxpayer, although it has to be said that most Irish seem to love paying high taxes.

China must be annoyed at losing the Panama Canal...

Eight years after Trump first telling them to get their act together and with him now calling their bluff, the Europeans are finally starting to put their self-defence in order.

They're in LaLa Land alright. It's now possible that the Brits and the French will have the troops on the ground, the Yanks will have their precious minerals and the Ukrainians will have their deterrent. Who then would be the winners and lovers from last Friday's meeting?

The EU is not a threat to any of the Big Three (US, Russia, China). It doesn't have the military means (it does have the economic resources but prefers to spend it on things like social welfare and 'the green agenda') nor the political apparatus (for example, Orban can veto policy). The Yanks...

Absolutely. You would have been looking at four more years of stalemate or defeat for Ukraine if Trump had not been elected last November and taken his initiative. After Friday's contretemps (for which, Zelenzky must accept his share of the blame), the Europeans must now make headway. But, as...

Meath manager quoted today on the new rules: "You check a score at half-time of a game and it's 17-0 to somebody. It's a mix of outdoor basketball with a breeze, soccer-style defending with 11 behind the ball in zonal stuff, and a bit of rugby thrown in for a few scrums around the middle. I...

Great to see an insufferable liberal like O' Donnell annoyed.

Tim Stanley on the predictability of the second Trump presidency. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/27/trump-starmer-summit-ukraine-washington/

A political success that is coinciding with some serious wealth gains for Musk, the two beinv more than a coincidence.
