Fucking wild to me that Independent Ireland came out with a manifesto cribbed from, in various parts, Vox, BBB, and Fratelli d'Italia...

And the Irish Media are just reporting on it as if it's just some ordinary, normal political manifesto. Not one word about European Fascism.

Amid so much talk of bad folks, it's comforting to read about good people doing good things. Case in point, Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy and his artist wife Yvonne McGuinness, who have bought an iconic movie theater in Dingle, Ireland, which closed in 2021 due to rising costs and falling attendance. The Phoenix opened as a dance hall and cinema in 1919; devastating fires in 1921 and 1938 gave it its name.

“I’ve been going to see films at the Phoenix since I was a young boy on summer holidays,” Murphy told the Irish Independent. “My Dad saw movies there when he was a young man before me, and we’ve watched many films at the Phoenix with our own kids. We recognise what the cinema means to Dingle.” The Phoenix is the only cinema in a Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) area in Ireland, and the new owners say this will be acknowledged in its programming. Here's more.

Irish Independent · Cillian Murphy and wife Yvonne McGuinness buy Dingle’s historic Phoenix cinemaBy Dónal Lynch

So, apparently, #ClareDaly was a pioneer of the Irish anti-vaxxers, resisting the HPV vaccination program even before the anti-vaccine movement became popular during COVID.

A Putin admirer, a person who whitewashed Assad’s crimes against humanity in Syria and the genocide of Uyghurs in China, and she is also an anti-vaxxer.

Keep her out of the Dáil. She is not fit.
