So, just to be clear, Fine Gael, @fine-gael.bsky.social is happy to criticise the cab rank rule followed by barristers in Ireland?

Fine Gael - happy to alienate the legally professions in Ireland. I suspect this will end well for them…

Really like Brianna Parkins columns, and an overseas constituency might be good idea for diaspora, but there are badly formed assumptions in the piece:

Emigrants are not necessarily: (1) the most dissatisfied citizens, nor
(2) those with most to say about what is/isn’t happening in Ireland.
Brianna Parkins: Many Irish have voted with their feet but can’t vote in the election. The reason is plain
What are opponents to voting abroad so afraid of? The explanations of ‘it’s too hard’ or ‘it’s too risky’ feel threadbare and lazy

Listening to Floating Points & Pharoah Saunders with LSO album from 2021.

Feels like a companion piece to I Trawl the Megahertz by Paddy McAloon / Prefab Sprout from 2003.

Great pieces to bring some calm into one's noggin'
