Just a heads up with all the Christmas markets and fairs on at the moment - if you see art or art-based pieces for sale, ask who the artist is, because the amount of people deceptively slapping "made locally" on pieces locally farted out by their computer and a genAI prompt is getting depressing

16,766 men, women, & children were living in emergency accommodation in October according to the Dept of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
Human beings deserve better than this. It’s shocking that so many people will go without this basic security at a time meant for joy & family.

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.
I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

The housing charity Threshold has reported a significant increase in renters seeking help due to the risk of homelessness. A new report released this morning highlights that the main issue facing tenants who contacted the charity is landlords selling their homes.

Saying that it's "too hard" to get on the Irish president ballot when an independent woman got the entire Irish left to back her, got the biggest vote ever and beat two historically dominant parties is not just wrong - it is breathtakingly offensive and outrageously dishonest.

A clear trend emerged early as Catherine Connolly moved toward victory, with Heather Humphreys conceding this afternoon. Historic numbers of spoiled votes were another feature. Analysis and reaction to follow.

Amazing result in Tipp North for Catherine Connolly when you consider that all three TDs were against her. Commentators on about disenfranchisement should look at that carefully. It's not the spoiled votes that are interesting, it's who the Connolly vote will go to next #GE. #Áras25
