Just because the rate of food inflation has eased, doesn't mean it's negative inflation. It's still increasing, albeit at a slower rate. Sigh. The CSO CPI figures today are not good news for those struggling with the cost of food at the moment. #costofliving

Someone needs to be asking FG about their govt and how this is happening with the vulture landlords… sorry investment funds… and how this weeks budget will only mean more of it.

Seriously they’d make the most enthusiastic voter run out the door to vote for CC

Has someone asked Barry Ward or any other FG barrister about who they represented or the cab rank rule? This rubbish from FG and media is embarrassing - and yes you can criticise banks as a politician and have represented them professionally before or after. Why are we allowing disinformation?

I am now officially a cranky aul one. The Met Eireann tv forecaster is repeating the same phrases throughout his 2 minute forecast and it is really irritating. Goodnight sisters.

So a former government minister, who was in the government when a bill passed, is now disavowing that bill? That's a problem.
That's it's people rights & existence she is throwing under the bus makes it sickening

Back to the actual and current Presidential candidates -with all the Jim Gavin shenanigans of the last 24 hours it may have not grabbed people’s attention that Heather Humphreys just threw trans people under the bus in response to a Grift dot ie reporters question!So there’s that! #aras25 #speirgorm

This is not as earth shattering as #Aras90 … though there is still time to lose a govt and a Taoiseach yet.
