  1. My family and I would sit round the wireless at Christmas and listen to DEI The Musical. It was a cornerstone of Irish life.

  2. Ah yeah better off buying more helicopters that crash into civilian planes.

    I fucking miss how relatively little attention the White House got the last few years.

  3. First, obvious question is if anyone has a clue what musical this spokeswoman is even talking about?

    And are the “DEI” in the room right now? 

  4. Excellent journalism there from the Leader.

    Repeat what the white house say. No need for any further detail. Outstanding.

  5. For a sec there I thought this was a Waterford Whispers News headline

  6. Is it that coppers musical that was out a while ago?

  7. Google says

    Seems the Irish musical which was funded by USAID in 2022 to tune of $70k was ‘Ireland 100, an old song resung’ a 2-hr RTE radio production made by an independent Cork production company South Wind Blows Limited, controlled by Philip King who also presents for RTE Radio

  8. Do you see how the sign behind her says “White Washing”?

  9. Look over there at that $70K while we syphon off billions in the other direction.

  10. [Grant is here](https://www.usaspending.gov/award/ASST_NON_SEI30022GR0010_1900)

    >To support the achievement of U.S. foreign policy goals and objectives, advance national interests, and enhance national security by informing and influencing foreign publics and by expanding and strengthening the relationship between the people and government of the United States and citizens of the rest of the world.

    Make sense they’d cancel it since America is turning into a hate-filled abomination giddy at torching allied relationships.

  11. “Pay attention to this $70k while we plunder the Treasury of billions of dollars and destroy a free nation.”

  12. From what I gather it’s not really a musical, it was a concert held in Aras between Irish and American acts, hosted by Other Voices. They just stressed the word “musical” for maximum rage bait.

  13. Invade to stop us or FUCK OFF with your opinions

    Go raibh maith agaibh

  14. Considering the billions sent to Israel, but they get outraged at 70k.

  15. As a dual citizen, it’s my tax money so I say give it back to Ireland lol

  16. So DEI is the new thing that these insufferable whingebags are crying about now?

  17. This is from the crowd that mistook condoms for Palestinians with a safe sex programme in Mozambique
    And refused to admit it

  18. That our govt managed to do it for less than a quarter mil it’s clear there was no waste :p

  19. Whatever it is, it was probably pretty good if that lot want to cancel it.

  20. Got it, so:

    – billions to a genocide = good funding
    – 70k for a gig at Other Voices = bad funding

  21. OPW: ’70k? I’ll tell the children, there’ll be no new bike shed then…’
