If Ireland's emissions are "too small to matter" then I might as well evade my taxes and eat doughnuts for lunch.

Yes we've always had racists, and the far-right have been growing unchecked by the political establishment, but Harris has been working overtime to push this shit into the mainstream. He has done horrific damage to this country.

Whistleblowers play an incredibly important role in our society — we have to support and protect them.
Instead, Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael allow many whistleblowers to be harrassed and penalised.

Truely a landmark moment for the Man In The Pub.
Who will offer early-stage legal help to people seeking asylum in a future, speedier process? It might not be lawyers. The new EU Migration and Asylum Pact allows for “legal counselling”. Those who give it won’t have to be “qualified lawyers”, says the Department of Justice.

What's the Irish for hostile environment?
New: major overhaul of immigration laws to see citizenship denied to those who got welfare, or are in debt. Family reunification only for close family, tighter rules around self sufficiency. Changes to revoke residency for those who commit serious crimes

FINALLY a judge is pointing it out explicitly.
The behaviour of Enoch (& the other Burkes) is a clear safety concern.
Genuinely, how far off are they from rationalising violence as appropriate to their cause?

This is the "mature debate" they keep banging on about btw. What level of cruelty we should aspire to, with the claimed fear of being seen as less cruel than a country rapidly sliding towards fascism. An ivory tower scumbag
Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.
His statement comes following proposed reforms to the UK's asylum practices

The biggest hinder to solving Ireland's housing crisis is not finaincing, or planning law, or judicial reviews - it's that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael don't want to.
Again if you find yourself wondering about things like Judicial review because politicians and some right wing journos say this is the reason we can’t get things done, just remember this is complete bollix and the real reason is lobbyists, lobbyists, lobbyists and politicians who become lobbyists.

Pet bans to be scrapped in major Irish housing shake up
Fianna Fáil Senator Teresa Costello, who has been campaigning for the change, welcomed the decision but said the delay had already caused deep distress for many tenants.
