The landlord parties (FG, FF and Independent Ireland) have just voted to leave renters in the cold.
They have blocked our Bill to introduce minimum BER standards in the rental sector to stop renters being left in cold, damp and mouldy homes.

"Ireland would think differently about Russia if they were where Estonia is!". Yeah probably. Different things are different. I don't think Poland worries much about the good Friday agreement to be honest.

Genuinely, how are "luxury" brands getting away with this. It looks like shit. It looks like a scam. You are paying 6 figures for this? For this? Fuck range Rover anyway, but at least be evil competently! Fuck!

For people unaware and playing/streaming Where Winds Meet, it uses GenAI for NPC chat bots, and let's you import a photo of yourself and a voice clip for character creation, which I'm sure I don't need to explain why that is fucked up

There's no funding to reopen the Waterford-Wexford/Rosslare. The All-Island Rail Review recommended reopening this. It's only been closed since 2010 and is being maintained. Would have been huge for regional development.

Irish aviation history and meteorological history are intimately linked, and we're a Republic - we don't name things after Taoisigh here (except in Cork).

Being given out to by a newspaper based in the only country we've ever fought a war with on our own soil for not being heavily armed enough these days is certainly something. I wouldn't mind but if we were armed to the teeth these cunts would be writing pieces about how dangerous we are

Can't have a children's hospital. Can't have a decent public transport system. Can't have public housing. Can't have public services full stop. If they spent money on a fucking boat before any of that stuff the govt wouldn't be worrying about the Russians.
But critics argue that Ireland, awash with cash from a corporation tax bonanza paid by global firms with big operations in the country, is using its neutral status to duck its 21st-century responsibilities.

The orchard in the Mother & Baby Home where I was born has been abandoned since the 90s but still bears fruit, which, abandoned, falls to the ground and rots. The nuns' beloved greenhouse is wrecked but still has dessicated grapes hanging there. If I was a novelist I would find a metaphor here.

Stop the uberisation of taxis! Don't let them pull us in yet another race to the bottom.
Taxi drivers have a simple solution - they need a 'not-for-profit' taxi app from the NTA.
Uber uses surge pricing and charge people more when it’s busy. They give drivers and customers less control.
