This is the number of patients waiting to be admitted to #UHL who are left on trolleys today.
No privacy.
No dignity.
No adequate treatment.
This is not healthcare.
This is not good enough.

A woman with no fixed abode ending up being sentenced to 6 years for setting alight a bus and causing 1/2 a million damages in riots that were egged on online by American far right agitators, is so illustrative of why this needs stamping down on root and branch

Before I moved to Germany I was volunteering teaching English to migrants and refugees in Dublin. On my last day before moving, a 60-something Ukrainian woman I'd been teaching said "Good luck" then glanced down at her lesson notes, and said "It'll be grand."

Trump's own Chief of Staff just said he has an "alcoholic's personality" and called JD Vance a conspiracy theorist. If you want a peak behind the curtain at the chaos in the WH, listen to one of our archive LP Pod episodes with Chris Whipple: https://youtu.be/LVXyAciI9G4?si=SezFsNDRK9CsNT3G

For context; David McCullagh reported on air this morning that Mary Butler had sent the email. But it now seems that as of now 4:18pm nobody in the Fianna Fáil PP has received the report.

#Irishpol #Speirgorm
At 10am this morning Mary Butler sent an email to all Fianna Fáil parliamentary party members containing the The FF presidential review.

The email will probably be leaked by 10:30am.

I think all my old mates emigrating because there were no jobs between 2008-2014, and then most of my new mates emigrating between 2018-2025 because there are no gaffs, has had a greater effect on social cohesion than migrants

The housing & homeless numbers make no sense unless its deliberate policy by the Government

5,274 children in emergency accommodation
72,000 homes connected to services left purposely vacant for 2 years

Its deliberate structural violence

Use it or lose it

And put the needs of the 5,274 children in emergency accommodation over the greed & vandalism of the property hoarders
