In the @DailyMail this week @_BrianMahon_ stories about a Labour candidate have exposed an accelerating tendency of political parties here. They go after the journalist or outlet, rather than answer questions

Shamrock Rovers’ Roberto Lopes was recruited for Cape Verde’s squad via a LinkedIn direct message after the former head coach found out the Irish-born player's father was from there 😅

And now the former bank worker makes his World Cup debut against SPAIN 🇪🇸

RTE's new TV series BackStory takes the children of immigrants in Ireland back to their "ancestral homelands" to connect with their roots. But if heritage is so important to identity, why are Irish people who feel as strongly about theirs called racist?

Sharing footage is divisive. Asking why it's happening is divisive. Asking what we can do to stop it is divisive.

You wouldn't want to be divisive, would you?

Does the Medical Council know how science works? While his language was unusually strident, being critical of a medicine and medical authorities is certainly not misconduct, even if he were wrong. What message does this send to other doctors who want to challenge conformity?

I am proud to announce my first bill with the ambition to make public spending fully transparent in Ireland.

Too often, taxpayers can see what is spent, but not what it was spent on. That must change.

My Tender to Payment (Public Spending Transparency) Bill will create a golden thread from procurement to final payment, delivering greater transparency, accountability, and value for money for the public.

As laughable as it is predictable. More praetorian guard than fourth estate.

[James O'Connor TD @JamesOConnorTD]

Attacking those who are protesting is the wrong approach. Sadly, the cost of living has driven many to the edge financially. A build up of ordinary people under enormous financial pressure, not feeling the reward for their hard work and effort. We must and can do better. It’s time to get around a table and negotiate to put an end to disruption.

By striking airports, hotels and landmarks in Gulf cities, Iran thought it would put pressure on the U.S. to stop the war. So far, the regime’s calculation backfired — pushing Gulf nations closer to Washington as they contemplate a military response of their own. My analysis. https://t.co/ZtbWWmrZE7

This is the queue for the University of Galway students’ union food pantry, where genuinely needy students can get some basics.

The entire queue, as far as I can tell, is Indian.

This erosion of social trust will eventually destroy the program.

I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES.

WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED.

So sorry Guido, may you rest in peace

Listen to this to hear BBC explain their crisis while also proving all allegations about them to be true.

Okay I'm going to need someone to explain to me why Gianni Infantino, the head of FIFA, is at the Gaza ceasefire summit in Sharm

Very sad today to hear of the untimely death of writer and film-maker Manchán Magan. His work with the Irish language was both inspirational and normalising, and he can claim a great amount of credit for the resurgence in the everyday, normal use of the language. He managed to both elevate the culture and also place in the everyday, where it belongs.
