The Pogues songs which had been playing across Nenagh town have fallen silent. Pubs fall dark and patrons line the streets waiting for the cortege to pass by. A fitting and respectful atmosphere around the town for his final journey. Rest easy Shane #RIP#ShaneMacGowan

Dublin City Council has set aside €10 million of taxpayers money for works on its Wood Quay headquarters, despite the fact its vacating within 3 years and demolishing it. €3 million goes on internal office renovations. The rest covers security and maintenance. For a building heading for the skip.
@DubCityCouncil is moving to Kevin Street at a cost north of €670 million, justified by a claim that retrofitting Wood Quay to 2030 climate standards would cost €400 million. So we cant afford to fix what we have, so we will spend ten million maintaining it, demolish it, then spend two-thirds of a billion elsewhere. Even worse, environmental studies put the carbon cost of this new foolishness up to 70% higher than a straightforward retrofit!
Wood Quay was built on top of one of the most significant Viking archaeological sites ever uncovered in Europe. Thousands marched in protest. The council pressed on anyway. Annihilating our priceless irreplaceable heritage only to feck off barely forty years later. Dublin and Dubliners deserve better!

#Starmer, #EU leaders who are considering joining war on #Iran should bear in mind that #Netanyahu has already been indicted for war crimes in #Gaza. Difficult to maintain line between offensive and defensive military acts when US/Israel ignore international rules of engagement.
Today 3 different Irish men were sentenced for horrific sexual & physical assaults, the victims of one were his daughter & wife, the victims of the other were his 2 nieces & the victim in the 3rd case was the man's ex.
Where are the protests in support of these 5 women?
