Jen Keane (Zenbuffy - she/her)I realised I've been remiss in sharing here, so in case anyone's looking for some <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Seanad2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Seanad2025</a> guidance, I've got a spreadsheet going with candidates from both panels and their positions on some major issues. <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HcbVMNv-L_MUFISJbEohi2MIz9S_xtV_4yL_4NARACA/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HcbVMNv-L_MUFISJbEohi2MIz9S_xtV_4yL_4NARACA/edit?usp=sharing</a><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/se25" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#se25</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ge24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ge24</a>

Fran O'ReillyThanks for the 30c ReTurn Lorraine, maybe you’ll get the Seanad as consolation. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ge24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ge24</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ge2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ge2024</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/irishelection" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#irishelection</a>

Mark DennehyIt's kinda impressive that we don't even have the new government yet and already we know they were lying through their teeth to the tune of €2bn.Also, so nice to see IFAC pointing this out now, with the <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> election over and us relegated to sitting there impotent to affect it in any way,in the best tradition of Irish governance through the ages. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/mastodaoine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#mastodaoine</a> <a href="https://www.businesspost.ie/article/budget-2025-spending-forecasts-not-credible-fiscal-watchdog-warns/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.businesspost.ie/article/budget-2025-spending-forecasts-not-credible-fiscal-watchdog-warns/</a>

Carole (Ducky)Oh bless! I see our fashy far right brethren are all fighting like rats in a sack since they were unceremoniously given the heave ho by the Irish electorate. 😂😂😂<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE2024</a>

Ciarán FerrieElectoral Register could be off by 500,000 voters. This would mean that instead of the poor 60% turnout recorded in <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a>, a more accurate figure would be closer to 70% turnout.(BTW the official turnout figure excludes spoilt votes, I don't agree with this omission. In some cases those spoilt votes are no fault of the voter, e.g. failure to stamp ballot paper, in other cases the vote has been deliberately spoiled to make a political point.)<a href="https://www.rte.ie/news/election-24/2024/1203/1484435-electoral-register/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.rte.ie/news/election-24/2024/1203/1484435-electoral-register/</a>

Bucke UerteþHad somehow missed that TikTok Simon wanted an early election to obtain “a mandate for his role as taoiseach”how’s that working out for you, simon?So fucking useless. <a href="https://goblin.technology/tags/ge24" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ge24</a> <a href="https://goblin.technology/tags/ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ireland</a>

Ciarán FerrieI saw an Instagram post this morning asking what music each party leader was listening to during <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> and the answers are...well:Micheál Martin: Simon & Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, Pavarotti Simon Harris: Coldplay, Oasis Mary Lou McDonald: Alison Moyet Ivana Bacik: Sinéad O'Connor, Julie Feeney, Everything But The Girl Roderic O'Gorman: Sigur Rós Richard Boyd Barrett: Ska/Punk/Reggae, Christy Moore Cian O'Callaghan: Damien Dempsey Michael Collins: Springsteen, Bryan Adams Peadar Tóibín: Pixies

Ciarán FerrieSo yes, build a strong left alliance, but also get that alliance in to a position where it can implement its policies. It won't achieve much on the opposition benches.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> 4/4

Ciarán FerrieLabour and the SocDems may fear being punished if they enter into government with FF/FG now, but they risk being punished to an even greater extent if they refuse the opportunity to deliver on the environment policies that were so lauded during the election campaign. And in the end, we will all suffer if we don't take climate action seriously.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> 3/4

Ciarán FerrieGiven their rejection of key commitments on sustainable transport and clean energy at the last cabinet meeting, when they no longer relied on Green support, there is very little hope that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael can be trusted to follow through on the kind of action that is needed to tackle climate change and biodiversity loss.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> 2/4

Ciarán FerrieI've been thinking about the idea that Labour & SocDems might eschew government this time around in order to build a strong centre left alliance ahead of the next General Election.That might be the politically sensible thing to do but climate change and biodiversity loss isn't going to just hold off for another five years until it is more politically expedient for Labour and the SocDems to enter government.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> 1/4

Miriam BooshIreland has rejected the far-right. Only 6% of voters said immigration was their main issue, while 76% backed centrist or left-leaning parties. Now it’s time for the media to stop legitimizing and platforming their hateful lies. <a href="https://bsky.brid.gy/hashtag/ge24" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ge24</a>

John A. MulhallThe results of the Irish 🇮🇪 National elections are clear. Our people’s silent indoctrination into a weaponized false narrative based reality like the Farrage’s UK BREXIT will not happen soon.🔗 | <a href="https://authormulhall.com/europe-under-a-shadow-threat-from-russian-hybrid-warfare/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://authormulhall.com/europe-under-a-shadow-threat-from-russian-hybrid-warfare/</a>We should as committed EU citizens see the far right foothold in Ireland as a Russian controlled foothold.They have succeeded in manipulating this cohort via anger based false narratives to sow social chaos and disruption. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/blog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#blog</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#politics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/europe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#europe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#germany</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/GE24" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GE24</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/ireland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ireland</a>
