Hi #BankOfIreland, I have just one question: are you serious? Yours, etc.

My e-mail to my TDs, subject line "Continued use of a dangerous service":

Not sure this is what you meant, but it seems right.

"While we have been clear that President Maduro does not have any democratic legitimacy ...." is the International Rules-based Order equivalent of "yes, but she shouldn't have dressed like that".

South Dublin Bay. East is at the top. Shows Merrion ("Merryoung"), Booterstown ("Butterstowne"), Blackrock ("New towne of the Strand"), Monkstown and Dún Laoire.

I have just e-mailed my TDs with a request for them to intercede with the Minister and to avail of the abundant expertise in the country on the matter before engaging with the topic.

My e-mail ended as follows (because I, at least, remember 20 years ago):

Counterpoint: sometimes, in a world that's clearly burning and sinking, at a time when parents (like me) are advising their children to sell the family home before the seas are lapping at the doors, views are among the few things we can get to enjoy in our public amenities.

Found this in my letter box today. No mention of homelessness or climate, ensuring I know where my local #FiannaFáil TD's priorities do not lie.

Hey! Where's my "get lost and don't ever darken my door again" button?!

I think I know where those Ireland-is-full idiots get their notions from.

This story and the RTÉ version are really, really, really very similar to each other. In fact, except for the use of different types of quotation marks, there are only 7 differences.

This story is explicitly vague on the nature of the threats, and I wonder if it's because of the reporting, or because the garda didn't want to be clear with the judge.

It certainly seems to me the garda didn't want to tell the judge how the details were determined from the social media service.

I've just sent a thank-you note to the left-leaning (Social Democrats) and left-looking (Sinn Féin) TDs in my constituency, containing the following:

So. Mention that airline and you get an offer of support from a fake account.

Take care out there.

So ... from the comfort of my couch, I can shut Dublin down with one click?!?!?

I hate the "got off on a technicality" framing. It usually means the police/prosecutors either tried to deny someone's rights or, as here, they just simply failed to do their fucking jobs. And, of course, we should assume that *if* they had done their jobs, the charges would never have been laid.

Like, all of this is true with the downloaded PDF.
