You can't actually cap migration into Ireland without:

1. Dismantling the Common Travel Area
2. Leaving the EU
3. Placing a hard border between the Republic and the North

This "population growth" argument the self-declared sensible people have come up with is in reality really extreme

I've spent a lot of holidays on my own. And I've definitely been the guy who had to work while all my fellow employees have been off with their families. So if you're working or alone this holiday, much love to you. May the day treat you well, pass quickly, and be devoid of assholes. Love you guys.

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Are you still at it?

Do you think you're accomplishing anything other than showing that Black people face constant harassment from mediocre white kids going thru their "nazi" phase online?

Looking at this pic of Justin Bieber's house, I'll never understand why the infinitely rich choose to live in gaffs that look like millennium era lottery funded conference centres.

That’s quite an own goal by Transport Minister Darragh O’Brien delaying the Finglas Luas by two years, and stalling on DART+ South West till 2030, on World Sustainable Transport Day, no less. Who needs Judicial Reviews when Fianna Fáil’s running the show?

There is no funding for Luas Lucan, Poolbeg or Bray. Luas Lucan is being designed now and thousands of homes are under construction in Poolbeg.

Luas Finglas, a simple 4km extension of the Green line, won't start construction until 2029. This project received planning permission this month and should be full steam ahead. Instead, the government is delaying procurement starting for at least two more years.

DART+ South West is shelved until 2030. It has full planning approval since 2024, no judicial reviews and is ready to go but construction won't start until after 2030. A lot of housing around Adamstown and Clonburris built in anticipation of this upgrade.

Four months after it was promised, we finally have the government's transport investment plan between now and 2030. It's bad. Roads are in, public transport is out. A lot of public transport projects being put on the long-finger to make funding available for new roads.

Ireland continues rolling backwards thanks to FFFG. The mind just boggles. Boggles. Emigration will only continue to rise.

This is disgraceful. The trains are already overcrowded with a whole load of housing being built on the basis of the rail upgrade. At this stage it is a health and safety issue at the stations and on the trains with the existing volumes of passengers.

Hot take maybe but I actually don’t give a shit about benefit fraud.

I give a shit about multimillionaires and billionaires existing and not paying tax on their actual wealth.
