Be interesting to see the reaction to her victory in the current international context
Wow do yourself a favour and don’t read those comments
Did Fine Gael write this? It’s abit dramatic
We are going to repeating the same fucking two points to people for the next 7 years.
A) the president has no power
B) yes we know we are geographically lucky. It didn’t always bring us luck.
Good. What’s the bad news?
Stay clear of that Sub, complete trash & US cheerleading. I got banned for asking a good faith Q underneath an article on the middle East.
The way professional gobshites like Daly and Wallace will spin this as a vindication for their anti-Ukraine stance is going to be depressing.
The role of the Irish president is more of a ceremonial head of state
I bet most of the people getting all worked up about it don’t even understand what that position entails.
She is a dangerous clown
People acting as if our last president wasn’t exactly the same. Nothing to see here.
I remember being in Thailand in 98 and watching CNN Asia News.
They were reporting on a massive Armagh carbomb, and described the perpetrators as “Catholic Terrorist rebels”
Deluded talk comparing today’s Germany to that of 1930 all while ignoring that Russia had been building up its military for years and waged a war on a sovereign country. Some of the clowns and useful idiots on here defending that, mainly PBP twats. She went over to Syria in 2018 in support of that regime which gassed its own citizens
The fact that people are so defensive on this is very telling.
The headline of the article is totally accurate
I think educated highly qualified legal professional should suffice as a description.
Is Clint Eastwood our next president?
Ireland is by far the best country in Europe.
Much love to Ireland
I dunno which is worse, the usual denizens of worldnews just being themselves and lapping up the misinformation outrage, or the few drippy – apparently Irish – fuckers trying to make excuses.
Good to see the neoliberal scaremongering doesn’t simply end once you hit out coastline (and for the record, I am not particularly fond of Connolly).
What’s not to like about this headline?
She’ll be a national embarrassment but there’s nothing we can do.
Weird how people get their backs up when you mention anything about NATO expansionism. When it comes to foreign policy the US is undeniably the biggest terrorist on the global stage. US and NATO have martyred Ukraine to wage a proxy war. Putin is a war criminal but the situation in Ukraine was caused by US war hawks in NATO pushing to expand aggressively east since the mid 90s.
Lmao centre-ground Fine Gael? Since fucking when?
The state of the comments in that sub.
Painting left wing as right wing , well done press. Maybe a title ‘Ireland resists global lurch to the right and stays course politically’
that sub is a mess
Politico article isn’t the hatchet job I thought it might be.
It overstates her criticism of EU, painting her as anti-EU defence(militarisation) but it is nothing that hasn’t been printed in our papers since she declared her candidacy.
Alot of context is missing though.
Didn’t bother reading the comments as honestly who cares what international randos think!
Losing it at the fella basing his political views of pacifism on a Star Wars cartoon. Can’t beat Reddit
Dear God a socialist.
If I weren’t banned there I’d probably end up trying to debate the gobshites in that comment section that have no idea of nuance or any idea how our country works, but it’s actually quite peaceful not being able to engage with that Israel loving herde
Really shows how far mis/disinformation can get, there’s people in that comment section not from Ireland running with the (false) claim that she protested Zelensky’s speech/didn’t applaud.
oh no! scary socialist who opposes NATO… have these fuckers ever been to Ireland?
If only Ireland had a far right lunatic then we could please these war hawk and bootlickers
I don’t think she’s ever described herself as a socialist nor advocated for socialism.
Is that NATO the organization that the Nazis helped create. The main countries running NATO are America, England, France and Germany, easily the countries that have done the most damage around the world and are still invading plenty of Arab and African countries. Since when is criticizing them seen as a bad thing.
When you see refugees and people coming from third world countries, the reason they’re third world countries is pretty much always because of those NATO countries.
