Mary Lou McDonald has written to the Taoiseach seeking the resignation of Larry Murrin as chair of Bord Bia. Sinn Féin says it’s inappropriate for him to chair an Irish food promotion board after it emerged that Dawn Farms, of which he is CEO, imports beef from Brazil to be sold in the Irish market

Important to point out that people do not become homeless. They are MADE homeless. And with homelessness rising from a few hundred people to over 17k in the last decade it’s clear that the government are in the homelessness business.

An aspect of the defeated bill to ban fox hunting that it seems was intentionally misrepresented.
It did NOT include preventing fox control via shooting, only the hideously cruel use of dogs, snares, or traps.
The issue must be revisited, with this point made crystal clear.

Communications from some TDs opposing the Bill contained misinformation. Some said the Bill would prevent farmers from shooting foxes to protect their livestock, but the Bill sought to ban fox hunting with hounds specifically, as well as the trapping and snaring of foxes.

After waiting years he was removed from the waiting list without his parent's knowledge. He was classified as a palliative patient who couldn't benefit from sugery, but that's contradicted by Great Ormond St Hospital in London. We only know of this because a whistleblower made a protected disclosure

Great to see Scotland and Wales blazing a trail when it comes to rewilding. 80% of Scots want their government to support rewilding, I'd say the figure is similar in Ireland but, remarkably, there is no official backing for the idea.

Cunty sold his shares in the toddler killing machine a year and a half after the invasion. It was international news that a Norwegian investor dropped this company because they were afraid that they’d be legally complicit in genocide. No excuses. Dirty shit all round
There we have it… Eoin Hayes received €199,000 pre-tax when he divested his shares in Palantir in JULY of this year.
This is despite telling journalists earlier he did so before entering politics.
