Much like the damage and overreaction Covid and lockdowns did, Ukraine is following same pattern. Those so invested and knowledgeable on what destroys people slime like a snail onto the next thing, never looking back or accepting the horror they demanded and cheered.

Shame Walsh has thanked El Ettifaq, Mohammed and Mr Bin Salmen for his journey to Kilmacud Crokes before a GAA official cut the prees conference short.

Hi Shane Walsh, great win, just wondering out of the hundreds of GAA clubs based near your work, what was it that attracted you to the wealthiest club in Ireland known for offering benefits for joining?

Naas players crying on the pitch. How are you supposed to get lads playing in GAA when the height of ambitions is get to be humiliated by bought in teams and shills with pharma and banking money?

Sponsored by The Beacon, with banking money flowing like crazy all over, elitism rampant, beloved by RTE, always in Parnell or Croke Park, getting players with no cash or apartments behind scenes... Sorry Kilmacud Crokes GAA, you're not GAA. You're ruining the GAA. An odious club.

You know Kilmacud Crokes are playing when the corporate boxes are far more full than the stands. They are to GAA what Manchester City and PSG are to soccer. A group who know nothing of the sport, cheering the ruination of the sport. Ps I hear Shane Walsh has nice gaff.

Just watched a BBC documentary about a German prison camp in Scotland in World War 1. Was really interesting but the presenter and expert were literally having chat like this due to normal midges in summer... I mean FFS.

The 240 Palestinian “prisoners” released by Israel have never been charged or tried for any offence. 107 were children from 14-17 years old who were simply kidnapped by Israel & held hostage. Thousands more are still being illegally held by this out of control rogue state @potus

Far-right and hate speech are the catch all now to deflect from discussion, debate, and criticism of government. What is far right? How do you know people you don't know are? Define hate? Who decides what's hateful? Is it applied when I feel hate due to 'acceptable' things?

15 months on. Ukraine is in trouble, they've admitted a million dead or maimed soldiers, amidst retreats there've been bodies of teenage female soldiers found... And all this could've been stopped via negotiation, although that would have ended lies to keep wealth transfer going.

Heard Hazel Chu on TV suggesting censorship in name of 'national unity'. Given she never held national office, her party got 7% at last election, is at 4% in polls, and is more detested than divisive (which they give back 10 fold), how and why do they get to talk national unity?

I see Conor McGregor is under criminal investigation for hate speech for saying Ireland is at war. Out of curiosity, does the below get me in trouble when home in a fortnight?

Some reflections on the Dublin stabbings, protests and riots, on cause and effect, on immigration policy, and on what has become a stick to beat people down with in what amounts to a class war. All support welcome.

I keep getting told Hamas broke a ceasefire on October 7. Now regardless, what they did that day was an act of evil of course. But I am curious, to those that allege this breach, when did that ceasefire start exactly?

I've disagreed with Gript and John McGuirk on some stuff, agreed on other stuff. Regardless of what you think of either, they adhere to journalistic standards as high as any. So forget point scoring, if Gardai are lying to catch out media they dislike, that's what should trouble
