I think we mostly did them in the oven because of that (coal or turf fired range - a few pancakes were cremated!)

Fine Gull’s budget taking straight from your wallet

This sea gull swooped down and swiped Sinn Féin TD Ruairí Ó Murchú’s wallet on the Dáil plinth just now, but he dropped after an energetic chase from the Louth TD.

It's true! When I studied economics, I was stunned by the ROI of social programs. Every dollar spent on childcare returns about $2.80 to the economy, and healthcare delivers even greater returns with broader social impact.

A universal basic income is simply smart fiscal policy. Why the reluctance?

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.

Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.

We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Over 100,000 households are being warned of a serious electrocution risk from this circulation pump.

CCPC says it’s a particular warning to tradespeople, DIYers and anyone who has had work on their heating system in the last eight years.

Everyone thought Jim Gavin wasn’t right because he wasn’t from a political background and wasn’t from Fianna Fáil. But he turned out to be a genuine Fianna Fáil landlord cunt after all

I’ve basically given up on cycling (which is a huge loss for me) as it’s just a hostile experience in Co. Roscommon

Ballymaguire Foods is resuming production today after a major recall linked to a listeria outbreak last month.

The company, which supplies ready meals to supermarkets including Tesco, SuperValu and Centra, had hundreds of products pulled from shelves two weeks ago.
