Over the last few years lots of people have been warning about the far right in Ireland & the misinformation & hate they've been spreading. Often the warnings have been passed off as scaremongering from some lily livered woke brigade. Some of the racist hatemongers have managed to get themselves onto radio, including phone-ins & on other media throughout the country. Again people have made others aware of who they are. Still they they're told they were overreacting.

This week Noel Grealish was outgoing chair of the Oireachtas golf club, when 81 guests from all over the country, including Minister Darragh Calleary, went on the piss together in Galway.
#golfgate Noel Grealish in the past, claimed that people seeking asylum in Ireland are here to "sponge off the system".

In 2008 Darragh Calleary opposed a direct provision centre in his area because it would "drive tourists away".

Today was 1st Communion Day in our children's class. Our two didn't make theirs as we are not religious. When our children were born there was no big day out for a Christening. No 1st confession & they don't go to the school Masses in the church next door during school hours. Over the last few months school has been a bit tough for them. The religious instruction & faith formation steps up a gear in 2nd class. During faith formation our kids are given reading or maths to do on their own (with no help, feedback or correction).

Was just in Lidl with my 7yr old. Her team in the family draw, Croatia, got the furthest so she was buying treats and chatting to me as we put them & the rest of the shopping on the conveyor belt. Nothing odd so far. So far... The guy at the till said "Ah Croatia were the real winners".
Me: Ah, coz of their fans?
Him: No, coz they were at least Croatian. The French team aren't even French.
Me: Excuse me?
Him: Yeah, they're not even French. They're African.
Me: No they're not. They're French.
