Is this the same asylum system that his party/government set up, that both FF and FG have run for years separately and together, that made millions for themselves and their developer pals, that refugees and NGOs have literally protested against for years because the system is not working and cruel.🤔
Tánaiste and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris has said Ireland's asylum seeker system is not working and that the Government should reconsider existing policies "in a very serious way"

If you want FF to get €200,000 of public money, vote 1 Gavin.
If you prefer FF to pay for their own mistakes, vote 1 Connolly or Humphreys.

If you are thinking of voting for Jim Gavin tomorrow, just a PSA that the most likely effect of that vote would be increasing the odds of Gavin meeting the threshold so that Fianna Fáil can claim a load of their expenses back from the campaign.

In my current position, having any ethical backbone about AI is a career ender. Period.
“People [in tech jobs] worry that not being seen as uncritical AI cheerleaders will be a career-limiting move…for those who aren't insiders in the tech industry, it's vital that you understand that you've been presented with an extremely distorted view about what tech workers really think about AI”
