      It's happening with smartphones now, need a live app to enter some places like gyms, cameras watching too, screen on, camera on, mobile internet on, constant tracking, have to have it topped up, powered up at all times. Big brother is very much always watching. Why though? It's no safer out there and preventing crime is not a priority, so control and power and manipulation are the only logical answers.

    Remember RTE's (and most of the MSM's) coverage of Biden's visit here last year - ok - his handlers managed to keep him on a tight enough leash - but the visit was an opportunity for all the mainstream journos here to "look at Biden in the round" and address the issue "without fear or favour" of his cognitive ability - there was an absolute stock of tv clips - as of early last year - that could have been viewed and assessed for that purpose - but - no - other than covering one gaffe made by Biden on his visit here - the MSM provided a pretty favourable - "nothing to see here" - picture of him - what a disgustingly biased bunch of rabble they are !!!

      Whether right or left, what is it with the Americanisation of not only our culture but now our politics? It seems corporate companies and social media/online influence have succeeded in that regard. Before 2016 the average Irish person was not overly interested in or aware of American politics. We should be more concerned with our own politics and social issues, and reject outside influences whether coming from the right or left, America or Timbuktu. Focus must be on domestic affairs and standing up to globalist EU and/or UN policies that negatively impact our sovereignty and culture.

    The state broadcaster is a complete liability to the citizens.
    We need a citizens' broadcast institute.
    We need a charter of rights.

    Our forefathers gave their lives to fight and defeat the British empire so future generations of Irish people could be free from foreign rule and keep our heritage and traditions. We the current Irish indigenous people should be ashamed of ourselves for allowing a bunch of politicians who are supposed to represent and carry out the will of the irish people absolutely destroy our mother land. Ireland needs to defend our great island from all threats domestic and foreign or we don't deserve to be irish anymore.

      Shouldn't be allowed leave his home. That's what he wanted for people who wanted to be left alone and didn't want a poison injected into their perfectly healthy bodies for no valid reason.
