Exactly! Why are builders given planning permission to build on a floodplain? It makes no sense.
And if they are then they should be legally required to show this information very prominently when selling the properties.

UPDATE: This plane landed in Cairo and is now headed back to Shannon.
Previous ICE flights to Cairo delivered Russian dissidents and asylum-seekers to Egyptian authorities, who forced them onto planes to Moscow. At least one is now missing.

So let me try to understand how this works. Is it like if unemployment falls below 4% they consider it to be full employment because the 4% don’t matter? Well how many Irish citizens is it okay for lock up in concentration camps? 2%? Maybe the magic 4%?
This “government” is a disgrace.

Oh our spineless government have 'grave concerns' and 'consistently brought it up with the US' and also said that it was 'increasingly difficult' trying to engage with the US about this case while they have been made aware of a 'small amount' of other Irish people are also being detained. #SpeirGorm

If all these rich men "regret" their time with Epstein then why didn't they announce prior to the release of the files that their names would be part of the collection? Why didn't they self-report? The answer is they are not sorry and have no regret. They are sorry and regret they got caught.
