  3. The tankies are just upset because we haven’t been invaded by Russia yet.

  6. Mad thay left wing TDs want Russia to have control over where we can send troops.

  8. We he will be sending Irish troops to “operation freedoms” in some other middle Eastern country. For king and country ole chaps

  9. Honestly, they’re both annoying.

    The far-left views any kind of military spending as an affront to our neutrality, despite the fact every other neutral country maintains a large military, its own arms industry, and prohibits any foreign troops entering their territory (none of which we do). If we actually were neutral, we’d be armed to the teeth to protect ourselves against a dangerous world.

    Martin doesn’t go far enough in condemning Israel or even Russia for that matter. Both of these countries are waging wars of ethnic cleansing and conquest with complete disregard for international law. Both should’ve been expelled from the country the moment guns started firing.

  10. Martin 100% right in this instance.  We did condemn Israel, we went out on a limb about it and even recognised the state of Palestine.  

    We have been piggybacking on the US and EU defence efforts and we obviously need to be mindful of this and share in some training exercises.  

    Her views are the sort of naive, puritanical nonsense you’d expect from an undergraduate.   She’s not a serious politician. 

  11. Martin has been trying to draw us into nato for a couple of years now. Remember his failed “forum” on neutrality last year?

  13. Connolly has always been a disgrace. She just hides behind long-winded speeches to conceal her less appealing views.

  14. Another toddler tantrum from a petty narcissist who can’t handle being challenged

  15. Comments really blowing this out of the water I feel. Really interesting to see reference to “far left” and “tankies” in the comments here. What’s with people on reddit planting an American flag in the center of Irish political discourse? She’s been a fantastic representative for decades and is a stellar speaker who more often than not ends up on the right side of history. I’m sure if she were to step down in the morning Micheal would be one to say her very positive words about her.

    What’s happened to this sub?

  16. While I appreciate what the country has done so far, they’ve still been mostly token gestures. I would love to see economic sanctions on Israel, pressure put on the US by suspending its use of Shannon airport, etc. Is it really possible to go “too far” in preventing genocide? Saying we’ve been complicit is going too far though.

  17. She’s a campist moron, I say this as a far left person myself.
