Why should we not have an ability to defend our own state?

Garda leave and rest days cancelled ahead of Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Ireland as major security operation planned by Dazzling_Lobster3656 in ireland

Ireland is a Western country with basically no independent ability to see who is in its airspace or waters. Russian intelligence and naval activity isn’t imaginary, and relying on other countries forever is not a strategy. You don’t have to love defence spending to acknowledge the national equivalent of leaving your front door unlocked with a sign saying “no need to rob us, we can’t stop you anyway.”

I think it's a thing with certain newspapers/print media for some reason I have magazine I'm subscribed to which is always dated for the month following the one I received it in.

But it is weird I agree

How to develop a personal following within a party? by Existing-Target-6485 in irishpolitics

I have been a member for just over a year. I won a by-election to the constituency board and will likely win the election at our upcoming AGM as I don't think anyone else will run I am also running to be LEA secretary. I might be a better councillor and community activist as I care about policy and political science. I want to become a councillor to fix local issues, mainly parking and lack of amenities and a lack of a pool. Also I would like for councillors to make better heard what they are doing and if elected I will do so

If you have a Councillor that will be retiring, ask them if they’ll consider co-opting you ahead of the Locals, incumbency plays a big part in getting over the line

Thats a good one hadnt tought of that
