Flashback to Jimmy Kimmel laughing about Donald Trump being banned from all social media platforms, and joking about conservative apps being taken offline: "All over the internet, [conservatives] are screaming about being silenced. They won't be silent about being silenced."

In September 2014, referring to immigration, Aodhán Ó Ríordáin said "we do not have limitless resources," and that "we simply cannot" expect to "provide for the vast number of economic migrants who seek a better life." "It would be wrong for us to pretend otherwise," he added.

"I will not comply with any legislation that seeks to control or compel my speech, and there is no law or government on earth that can change that." From my speech at the weekend about the threat to civil rights in the West, and Ireland's upcoming "hate speech" legislation.

Garda Commissioner Drew Harris says he finds the strong electoral performance of Gerard 'The Monk' Hutch to be "concerning" and "a societal problem". I think anyone else engaging in such commentary would be perfectly within their rights to talk this way - if a politician, commentator, or random member of the public said this, there'd be no issue. However, it is way out of order for the head of the police to make such remarks about any political candidate, no matter who they are. If Jeffrey Dahmer somehow managed to get onto an Irish ballot paper legally, I would expect him to be treated with the same impartiality by the Gardaí as any other candidate. Deeply inappropriate intervention by Harris in my view.
