I'm not sure we should be offering emergency powers to the guys who caused the emergency #spéirgorm
“The idea is that the emergency powers will allow government to intervene on critical infrastructure projects if they risk being delayed, & effectively green light them from government buildings” www.businesspost.ie/politics/eve...

If those proposals on capping legal costs for planning JRs go through (they won’t) we will need a dozen extra judges to cope with all the lay litigation that will spring up as a result

If these new Judicial Review costs scales come in, An Coimisiún Pleanála won't be able to find solicitors to represent them. It's going to be very, very funny.

Again, the Government's current crusade is against *successful* judicial reviews. Ones where they've been found to have broken the law. And now a Minister is calling ordinary people taking JRs "nasty."

Parking problems outside the masjid on South Circular Road are used to talk trash about Muslims, councillor says. But there’s only so much the masjid can do to police people’s bad parking – and it’s not just masjid-goers, it’s everybody, says Fazel Ryklief. www.dublininquirer.com/parking-prob...

Well this won’t go over well with AIPAC
Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, just introduced a bill to ban Americans from holding dual citizenship. The bill says that to “preserve the integrity of national citizenship, allegiance to the United States must be undivided.” It’s called the Exclusive Citizenship Act.

Great thread, and something that needs to be said louder and more frequently.
We are so dependent on charities to run essential care, from medical to housing, we are so dependent on volunteers to fundraise and run basic services, all of which our government should be providing.

We never talk about, when there is such a feel-good factor around such fundraising drives, and we marvel at the amounts raised, how the State should be fully funding many of these organisations to do this work. OR PROVIDING THESE SERVICES ITSELF. Because we have a right to public services.
