I’ll just note that this in no way reflects public opinion, which is massively against this barbaric relic gifted to us by our colonisers, nor I suspect the opinion of the TDs if they were being honest with themselves.

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

Chimpanzee calls trigger a distinct response in the human brain
A small brain region reacts strongly to chimp calls. This shows that our voice system links to older primate signals.

This is how the Irish government will try and sell mandatory online ID to the public;
"Do you think your privacy is more important than protecting children online? Why don't you want to keep kids safe from online predators?"
As if there is a binary choice, your privacy or child safety.

Mr O’Donovan said the Public Services Card “floundered because some interest groups outside of the House, interested more in privacy than other issues, got their way”. Funny way to characterise something which the independent regulator found illegal, imposing a €550,000 fine on the state.
