HarriettMB<p>You know what would make life better for everyone? If the British left Northern Ireland and returned it to be part of an independent whole country, all of which is in the EU. Then Hilary wouldn’t have to try and boss Ireland or the EU over tariffs. What would work well also would be the UK aligning themselves with the EU, rather than cowering in acquiescence before the toxic bullying of the USA.<br><a href="https://beige.party/tags/Tariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tariffs</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UKPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UKPol</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/RejoinEU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RejoinEU</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brexit</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/IrlPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrlPol</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/Think32" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Think32</span></a> <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UI</span></a> <a href="https://www.eppingforestguardian.co.uk/news/national/25057871.hilary-benn-warns-issue-ni-eu-imposes-tariffs-us-trade-dispute/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">eppingforestguardian.co.uk/new</span><span class="invisible">s/national/25057871.hilary-benn-warns-issue-ni-eu-imposes-tariffs-us-trade-dispute/</span></a></p>
HarriettMB<p>We don’t mince our words, when it comes to misogynist creeps; we women in Ireland have fought long and hard to have autonomy, and we won’t be giving it up lightly.

HarriettMB<p>This creep is one of the people FF &amp; FG are in coalition with; and are doing all kinds to try and subvert the settled order of business in the Dáil in order to placate him. That they continue to be led by the nose by Lowry and his associates is a disgrace. The Opposition are having none of it, and are totally united in keeping the pressure on. <a href="https://beige.party/tags/IrlPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IrlPol</span></a> <br>Lowry gesture 'unseemly and unbecoming' - Tánaiste <a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/politics/2025/0326/1504086-lowry-gesture/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">rte.ie/news/politics/2025/0326</span><span class="invisible">/1504086-lowry-gesture/</span></a></p>
Mark Dennehy<p>Watching Harris bemoan the unseemliness of yesterday's Dail proceedings from a foreign junket as if it was some random thing that happened instead of being a direct result of his personal decisions as leader of his party and member of the coalition; and then to say we have to draw a line and move on to deal with real issues when he's leading the party that spent the last twenty years in power without tackling those real issues...</p><p>...that's peak Irish Politics shitebaggery right there.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/irlpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>irlpol</span></a></p>
Mark Dennehy<p>Isn't it so Irish to chance your arm, get away with it, and the instant you get called on it, lead off with "Well this is an unseemly argument and we must draw a line under it now and move on".</p><p>But the moment something arises where a quick action would resolve the problem - like, say arguing about the mass grave in Tuam instead of getting on the train to Tuam with a shovel and a camera, which would have avoided months of Terry Prone-ing everyone - we waffle till we fall asleep. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/irlpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>irlpol</span></a></p>

Brian Nisbet<p>I had missed that Renua had rebranded as the Centre Party.
