"In my experience, nothing works like negative campaigning."

If you're undecided as to which way to vote in the upcoming presidential election, listen to this.

Fine Gael going full Trump in their tactics against Catherine Connolly, hoping that if they throw enough fake s**t, some will stick.
Well this is just jawdropping - have a listen, the smear campaign by FG on Catherine Connolly is really their only tactic. Also has anyone (other than a niece/nephew) ever called Heather Humphreys ‘Auntie Heather’? #speirgorm #aras25

The extent of Storm #Eowyn’s impact on forests cannot be seen properly from the ground. This drone footage taken today above a stand I visited in Meath shows how wind hardened trees around the edge remain standing while the centre has been flattened.
