Mostly men voting against something that’s none of their damned business. And some misguided women following the herd, I guess. This is what you get.
Scandalously the Dáil has just voted 73-71 to continue to force many women to travel abroad for abortions by refusing to reinstate Bríd Smith's Bill to scrap the three day waiting period.
The vast majority of FF and FG TDs voted against women's right to choose. Shame on them.

Jim O’Callaghan is one of the biggest threats to social cohesion.
The biggest threat to social cohesion is the lack of affordable housing NOT immigration. Immigrants are not paying 1M€ plus for a mediocre end of terrace 3 bed in Rathfarnham. They’re not buying fancy apartments around Dublin.
We need to invest in social/affordable housing or we are fucked.

Backwards we continue to go. I half-jokingly said to my partner yesterday “stick learning Spanish on the list for 2026 coz I don’t think we can grow old here.”
They've done it again, they've cut more rail projects. The most criminal one for me is cancelling the reopening of the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare line. On the left is the All-island Rail Review published by the last government and on the right is the plan published today.

The enshitification of customer service continues, today it’s the turn of @virginmediaireland.bsky.social. At €100+ per month, you expect better and you pay it so you might rely on it to work from home full-time. It’s gone to the dogs the last few weeks in Dublin 7.

Dropped the car off for its annual service this AM across town. Annual reminder of my dad’s builder buddy wondering why on earth I’d want to live in a smaller gaff in Cabra (5 mins walk to Luas, train and buses) over a slightly bigger one in Maynooth or further out. 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

Odds on many of those vouchers were last minute and/or “don’t have a clue/care what they like” gift. There’s one in this house somewhere for a petrol station (not a chain) in a rural part of Ireland about 3 hours’ drive away, for example 😂
Almost one-in-four people have not yet used gift vouchers that they received last Christmas, according to a new survey carried out for Competition and Consumer Protection Commission

Imagine the M50 with a pair of rail lines. And the N7. And…
This isn't the TII's fault. It's successive Government for decades not investing in alternatives to roads. Fianna Gael & Fine Fail are the problem. "We've tried nothing except default to adding lanes & building more roads & now we're going to try building more roads".

Horrible story, and I hope those assholes are caught and dealt with
And while I certainly blame far right agitators, Facebook etc, and sleeveens like McGuirk/Gript for fomenting this kind of awful stuff, Simon Harris and others in government need to take a hard look at themselves and their rhetoric

Asylum seekers have told of how they were followed by men on motorcycles before being subjected to an alleged attack in rural Co Dublin yesterday.
The incident – which saw the young men beaten and their car windows smashed – has been condemned.
