The some being an incredibly vocal minority who barely managed less than half a percentage of the electorate last year.
For decades, Ireland proudly stood against the rising tide of anti-migrant anger.
But recently, dozens of arson cases have been reported at some of the more than 320 centers linked to asylum processing and housing for refugees in Ireland.

Dublin embraced refugees, but some in Ireland have had enough
Protests and attacks have marked a backlash at resettlement centers in Ireland and have spread to neighborhoods where even longtime immigrants feel unsafe.

There’s no money to be made out of people who do an occasional flutter, the entire business model of gambling relies on monetising addiction. We should not make further concessions to this predatory industry on our streets.
Invitations to gamble shouldn’t be projected on city streets, say councillors. New gambling advertising rules are set to come into effect very soon, and are likely to curb on-street advertising.

Went to the States to visit family. Took a few days to visit Star Wars Galaxy Edge. As a lifelong Star Wars fan, it was absolutely incredible. The level of detail.

Actually beyond sick of traffic in Dublin. One hour to get from the airport through the port tunnel on the 142 bus. This is why the metro is needed but god forbid the wealthy Ranelagh residents ever have to not get their way.

Harry McGee, on the IT politics podcast, just asserted that the recent drones seen around Zelenskyy’s visit were military grade weapons launched from within the Irish state by foreign agents. There’s no evidence for any of this, it’s absolutely unhinged.

Going for a tour of the Everglades. That last line is not very reassuring. It says in the unlikely event you are attacked, fight back.

Those residents in Ranelagh. The level of selfishness and privilege needed to try to delay a project that will improve the quality of live of millions of people. I would be absolutely embarrassed to be even associated with any of them.

Studying politics in UCD, it was really obvious who was there because they wanted a career in politics and the status that came with it and who wasn’t. I’ve looked at politicians through this lens since. Are they here because they got involved in a cause or for the nice pension.
Some get into politics to make a difference but most are looking for a career path. The first and foremost goal of a political career is to attain power. The second is to hold on to it.
Simon Harris was sending press releases to local papers as a TEENAGER. For him it was never about helping people.

So much of the centrist approach to politics has devolved into "How do we trick people into supporting us like the right has done?" where talking sincerely about policies that might help ordinary people's lives is for naïve schmucks who don't understand the glorious theatre of it all
