Ok, Ireland is not full but my starter packs 1 & 2 are!

So here's a third and *final* one from me (felt too guilty ignoring people asking to be added! This one is not full... yet).

Tús maith, leath na hoibre!

Maybe the contest should be decided on the hurling pitch, or soccer field, or basketball court, or running, or…

Heather Humphreys won’t say if she paid an anti-vacancy tax on her unused residential property.

Humphreys has left the property unoccupied for the last 14 years, during which time the vacant homes tax was introduced.

Humpheys won’t say if she paid vacant homes tax

She’s left the property unoccupied for more than a decade.

"There is a lesson here for me, for my team, for the people of Ireland that if you put your head above the parapet and you dare to speak out and give a rational opinion that is based on evidence, this is what we will do, we will take you out, and this is really a very serious point in the campaign."

That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

We’re just over two weeks out from polling day - this is when the undecideds will be making up their minds. We want to bring Catherine’s message of hope directly to them, and share why we think she will be a brilliant President for the people.

Well yes, those comments really showed him to be out of touch with how people felt about that issue.

I actually listened to that episode, the visuals give it a whole other dimension. He's pretty sexist generally, always referring to his wife as 'the glamorous brunette' makes me cringe.

The Connolly campaign see the Presidency as an opportunity to further Catherine's lifelong mission of helping people. Fine Gael see it as a strategy game to be won at any cost. Straight from the horse's mouth #spéirgorm #Áras2025

Heather Humphreys has recommitted to learning Irish, 11 years after first making this pledge.
In 2014, Humphreys became the Arts, Heritage and Gaeltacht Minister, but faced criticism due to her lack of Irish.
