@irishelection.bsky.social Just after discovering your website, which is excellent, but I do have one caveat - entered the last Ireland Thinks poll (Nov), and much as I'd love a Soc Dem TD in Kerry, rather unlikely from a standing start!

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

Our tap water is not as bad as it was when I posted this photo, but it still is not nearly clean. Half this city has been fed rust and manganese for years now, and we've been lied to about it. In any normal country this would be an emergency, but it's fine for the north side of Cork.

Calling on the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.

For people who don’t live in the U.S., you might be surprised to discover that while insider trading (trading shares based on non-public information) is illegal over there, there is a specific carve-out in the law that makes it legal for Congress members. Nancy Pelosi alone is worth $200mn.
A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading.
This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

This is major, and therefore almost going unreported in the usual outlets.
For the first time, the European Parliament passed major legislation with a coordinated majority between the centre-right EPP and far-right groups, breaking the long-standing pro-EU coalition that installed von der Leyen.
