Garvaghy Road spokesman Breandán Mac Cionnaith said the community was “fully vindicated” after the High Court upheld the ban on the Drumcree parade.
He told reporters outside court that residents had only ever sought “the right to live free from sectarian harassment” as promised under the Good Friday Agreement.

Oh look the US advertising their robberies now, makes a change from the we're doing it for human rights we've come to know.

All I see is a US special forces tough guy shitting himself when delegates from a tiny nation that the US is trying to starve approach him with a document.
This is the kind of cowardly fear that makes too many Americans easy to talk into foreign wars.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz just WENT BERSERK at the Cuban official who tried INTIMIDATING him in the middle of his remarks
"BACK AWAY. THIS ISN'T HAVANA. You're NOT gonna intimidate ME! Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is AMERICA...SIT DOWN."
🔥🔥🔥
"I'm the representative of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA — BACK UP!"
"You can bring as many people as you want, PLEASE SIT DOWN."
The moderator got flustered! The UN is a total crapshow!
I think these Cuban communists just KNOW what is coming. Rubio told Cubans to partner with the CIA, and they're shook now.

Bolsonaro lost to Lula in Brazil, then fled to the US & got a visa. Same warm welcome for Cuban elites after 1959 & white South African farmers in 2025. Trump has made it explicit: the US is the refuge for racists worldwide & the global capital of white supremacy & the far right.

So what you’re saying is Irish soldiers will be used in the imperialist occupation on behalf of Israel and European military powers.
Free State leaders have always proven themselves loyal to imperialist powers, now they are enacting their Neo-Redmondite tradition of sending…

This is alarming and ought to be a significant concern for every one of us - truth is the first casualty of war and @vonderleyen is waging war on the free press.
Media outlets, journalist associations and press freedom organisations have penned an open letter to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen to voice their frustration about the recent deterioration in the EU’s freedom of information.

The PM of Denmark surrendered significant sovereign rights over Greenland to the US without a fight, but insists Ukraine must fight to the last man. Criticising Finland and Norway for speaking with Russia after 4.5 years of boycotting diplomacy...

Listen to this cowardly uneducated American zionist thug, with his "back up" bully boy 'cop with a gun' comment. This hysterical arrogant racist supremacist had a 'Donald Trump' in his pants, he was so scared 😱

The celebrated Irish filmmaker @sean_murray1 introduced me to this film, this masterpiece. It was one of the most searing film experiences of my life
✨🎬Hoy he visto, por recomendación de @FedericoTornic, una de las películas más crudas sobre la Segunda Guerra Mundial: "Ven y mira" (1985), que narra la brutal represión del ejército alemán a la población civil bielorrusa como forma de combatir a la guerrilla soviética.

Move the UN out of New York and America.
“Do you understand who you are dealing with? This is America. Back up.”
A United Nations meeting was dramatically suspended yesterday after US ambassador Mike Waltz and Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla both ignored the chair’s plea for order in the chamber.
The problem started when Waltz blamed Cubans for the shocking US embargoes and blockades that are causing huge suffering to the people of the island.
Cuban representatives, astonished at the way Waltz blamed the victims for the crisis, in their eyes, stood up and objected, citing Rule 71, which allows listeners to raise a point of order.
Ambassador Waltz responded that the Cubans didn’t like the substance of his speech, so were not raising a point of order.
But when complaints continued, this caused Ambassador Waltz to lose his temper and shout “Back up! Back away. Do you understand what you’re dealing with? This is America.”

INTERNATIONAL TERRITORY
The rest of the United Nations was outraged by this attitude, as the UN building is legally international territory.
When Waltz refused to stop his tirade, Khalilur Rahman, chair of the 81st session, ordered that the meeting be instantly suspended. Waltz ignored him.
The meeting was then resumed, but footage of the argument created a huge storm on social media.
Some people in the US defended Waltz’s narrative, blaming Cubans for the suffering caused by the US embargos.
But much of the commentary from the rest of the world said that the United Nations, for the safety of the delegates and the organization itself, should no longer be situated in New York.
When New York was originally chosen as the site, the US pledged not to politicize US visa access to meetings—but has regularly broken the pledge, such as refusing to allow visas for Palestinians.

Really concerning assertions being made by an Irish former diplomat, suggesting an astounding lack of acquaintance with even basic distinctions of international law, politics, diplomacy and history.
My statement is correct. Both the UN & EU are made up of their member States. The UN is a global grouping, the EU a regional one.
Sadly, the UN, which started in a blaze of glory in the 1940s, has become deeply flawed. That’s because it is controlled by the Security Council & its 5 permanent members. It has no representation from Africa or Latin America or the Middle East. India is not a member.
The UN has been completely ineffective on wars in Ukraine & the Gulf. It is unable to extend the mandate of UNIFIL. You may be ok with that inactivity but I am not.
We are EU members & take a full part in its decisions. The EU needs to play a fuller role in promoting peace & political progress in Palestine.
I don’t know if it can succeed in filling the gap left by UNIFIL but I am prepared to give it a chance. I trust ourselves as Europeans more than I trust Russia, China or the USA.
You are of course entitled to your own preferences.

Il video che i media mainstream UE non vi faranno mai vedere per intero.
Putin al tavolo del vertice del gas a Mosca, davanti a 20 Paesi produttori, dice in faccia all'Europa quello che a Bruxelles non vogliono ammettere.
Mia riflessione personale: siamo davanti al suicidio energetico più costoso della storia moderna. E lo stiamo pagando noi.
L'Europa, secondo Putin, si sta dando la zappa sui piedi da sola. Ha scelto di rinunciare al gas russo, di strappare contratti a lungo termine che per anni hanno garantito bollette stabili e industria in piedi, per inseguire una linea ideologica.
Il risultato? Fabbriche che chiudono, famiglie in difficoltà, costi alle stelle.
E poi ha usato quel proverbio russo che è una pietra tombale: "Non scavare la fossa per un altro, perché ci potresti finire dentro tu".
A suo dire, è esattamente quello che è successo. L'Unione Europea ha provato a isolare la Russia dal mercato mondiale del gas, a bloccarne lo sviluppo, e alla fine il conto più salato lo stanno pagando i consumatori europei, le imprese europee, le case europee.
Mentre a Mosca, al GECF, si parla di stabilità, di forniture, di nuovi mercati, in Europa si parla di razionamenti e di extra costi.
Questa è la foto di oggi. Da una parte un tavolo dove si decide il futuro dell'energia, dall'altra un continente che ha scelto di spararsi sui piedi.
