This explains so much. If I’ve learned anything from working in big corporations, it’s that organisational silos that stand in the way of real problem solving. Surely it should be easier to break those down in local government?
Green Party councillor Michael Pidgeon said part of the problem is the tensions "within the council between different departments and different parts of the State controlling parks”.

Lack of bins in Dublin's parks is down to 'turf war' between Council and other agencies
‘The place where bins are most effective is a public park – and they’re also one of the places you’re least likely to find them.’

The Garryduff Bird
This tiny golden bird, thought to be a wren, is one of the true treasures in the Cork Public Museum. It measures just 1.5cm, and is delicately made from gold foil and filigree.
It was found during the excavation of a ringfort in north-east Cork by MJ O'Kelly in the 1940s.

Lovely to see some investment in our historic buildings. It’s a drop in the bucket of what’s needed, but every little helps stop #DerelictIreland

Adding this to my vocabulary
How many things are nicer than wrapping yourself snugly under the covers in bed and ignoring the world for a little longer? That's the meaning of the 18th-century dialect word Snerdle.
