If the State is serious about the Irish language, it's reasonable to expect the President to speak it, write Professor Laura Cahillane and Dr Seán Ó Conaill. jrnl.ie/6841013

A sincere commitment to the Irish language is essential for the President, write Professor Laura Cahillane and Dr Seán Ó Conaill.

48% of Ireland's waterbodies are so polluted, contaminated with chemicals, choked with algae, deprived of oxygen, lacking in species variety or physically altered and damaged that they fail to meet minimally acceptable standards.

And it's getting worse.

🗣️ "What I hear is... we’re going to privatise and hive off a part of our energy-generating infrastructure for one industry."

The panel debate the government’s new Private Wires Policy and what it could mean for Ireland’s energy system and consumers.

The minute they choose to support a FG/FF their electoral defeat was sealed despite some good minister- Catherine Martin was a v good Minister for Arts (etc) much better and more innovative then one of her predecessors - Heather Humphreys

Some do, but many, esp a lot of young people, don’t. Personally, I was brought up in the FG tradition, but my hand would wither off if I cast a FG vote now

I would read it that she is a reflective politician who won’t be bounced into positions by a hostile media. I also believe she wouldn’t appoint them

I don’t think you can someone who deep roots lie in rural Ireland is a ‘visitor’. I happen to live and work in the city but rural Ireland in always home.

I believe Connolly offers herself as a reflective, people centred President as have our last three successful presidents. Humphreys would simply be a FG rubber stamp figure head - see Fintan O’Toole today in IT.

I don’t see any positive impact on the part of rural Ireland I’m from .. and am in very often. In fact it where this Gov is going to allow the LNG go ahead .. how green is that? But locals want it because it’ll provide employment, which the Gov has failed to do with any feasible substitute industry

I agree carbon tax as imposed was unjust-particularly as it was not accompanied by improvements or even implementation of rural public transport-cars are unfortunately essential in rural Ireland because the Gov has not provided otherwise. But they’ll find millions for Adare Manor and the Ryder Cup

As a dyed in the wool culchie I resent the implication that I care nothing of rural Ireland - I’m the only one of my family who does not live there and I know, with real clarity, the needs of rural Ireland … which have not been met by any FF/FG government in recent times

Absolutely, but it would have been a very long and unwieldy thread if I went into everything -the pathetic response to genocide in Gaza and failure to pass the OTB. The backtracking on any decent response to climate change, touching the forelock, repeatedly and embarrassingly, to Trumps America …etc

I remember once talking with a legislative draftsperson who worked at a high level in government who told me that they voted against every constitutional amendment that they drafted. By the same token it is perfectly possible for someone who is ‘pro-European’ (whatever that is)…

1/ Brian Leddin questions whether Catherine Connolly could park her long held political views and sign legislation which she, as a TD, night have opposed-a question she has answered, which is she’ll do her duty in line with the constitution. At no stage in his article does he take #speirgorm #aras25
