A spooky Samhain single for the day that’s in it by my sister Molly May. Amazing what she’s achieved with a budget of zero. Check it out mollymayoleary.bandcamp.com/track/ghost?...

Gardaí are investigating criminal damage to a Rathmines tree. “Dublin’s streets are crying out for more trees but in parts of the city, the ones we have are being hacked to bits,” says Sinn Féin MEP Lynn Boylan.

We’re constantly hearing about online radicalisation, yet the UK tabloid rags, including their Oirish editions, brazenly spread anti-Palestinian hatred & Israeli misinformation like confetti.

The ULEZ expansion is helping to improve the health of millions of Londoners.

Harmful NO2 concentrations are estimated to be down across London compared to a no-ULEZ scenario.

Central London - 54% lower
Inner London - 29% lower
Outer London - 24% lower

Harmful roadside NO2 concentrations down by estimate 27% across London thanks to ULEZ compared to a no-ULEZ scenario.

Reporting this story, the same details kept appearing in police investigations around Europe: the perpetrators turned out to have been recruited and offered cash over Telegram.
European authorities are increasingly open in saying who is responsible: Russia.

I hope Catherine Connolly will do justice to the role. I’m not encouraged by her warm words for Brexit, or her association with Putin apologists.

I have just seen that Gabija Gataveckaite is the BBI NI correspondent, reporting on the Presidential election. The same journalist who made a name for herself by repeatedly asking Tony Holohan if he wanted to apologise to women affected by the Cervical Check ‘scandal’. I am dismayed.

Jilly Cooper, I later discovered, wasn’t just unspeakably kind to useless young gossip columnists charged with bothering her at home or pestering her at a party. She was lovely to absolutely everyone. What a gorgeous legacy.

“The Office of Public Works spends around €1.2 million every year leasing car parking... spaces for the Revenue Commissioners cost over €100,000 annually. Parking for Leinster House itself runs to a similar figure each year. These are recurring bills, quietly signed off without any outrage”

Those outraged by a €100k bike shed should look at the annual cost of renting out car park spaces

Imagine if in 2006 Saddam was giving speeches at the UNGA and receiving billions in arms and finance from China while the US Marine corp announced it will be deploying horses to Mosul.

I see car brain is an international condition. You wouldn’t know it from the below post, but the it was the scooter rider who was killed, hit by a motorist. And other reports say the motorist was drunk and fled the scene

The Brussels Times @brusselstimes.com · Sep 30

As another person died following an accident with an e-scooter in Brussels last weekend, calls are rising to reduce the maximum speed to 20 km/h.

Higher speed means greater impact: e-scooter speed limits under scrutiny after another death
