"Donohue opted to provide the World Bank with €141.4 million on 24 April 2025, even as officials in his department recommended giving significantly less. The World Bank itself recommended that Ireland give €131.4 million."

Hey they’ll sort out the housing crisis tho!
Fianna Fáil is bracing itself for a delay in delivering its internal review into its approach to the presidential election.
It was set out last month that the party would carry out a review into its chaotic presidential campaign following the shock departure of candidate Jim Gavin

Such a heartbreaking story, felt by so many others around the country. Makes me so angry that the Taoiseach can just say that the HSE isn’t in a position to fulfil the law rtn with regards assessments for children with special needs. As if he isn’t ultimately responsible for that.
