Remember the big storm January 2025 and how the government came to our aid, no, I don't remember it either, however, I do recall farmers coming out clearing our roads with their tractors and chainsaws using their own fuel to help us.

Statement from the Council of The Bar of Ireland: The fundamental importance of an independent referral Bar
It is the duty of barristers to be independent and free from any influence, especially such as may arise from their personal interests or external pressure, in the discharge of their professional duties as barristers.
Barristers cannot discriminate in favour of or against any person availing, or seeking to avail, of the services of the barrister on the grounds of race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, language, politics, religion, nationality, national or social origin, national minority, birth or other status.
It is also the duty of barristers to accept instructions in any case in their area of practice. As a result, barristers should not be identified with their clients or their clients’ causes or suffer adverse consequences as a result of being so identified. This fundamental principle arises from the Code of Conduct of The Bar of Ireland and is recognised in the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and in the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of the Profession of Lawyer.
The duty of barristers to accept instructions, sometimes referred to as the “cab-rank rule”, ensures that everyone is entitled to access to justice and is central to trust in the Irish legal system and the rule of law.

We’ve just heard a Budget written by Fine Gael which abandons workers and families to look after those at the top. No action to end the rip off, no break on tax for ordinary workers but big tax breaks for developers, and people left high and dry as prices soar out of control. Election promises torn-up and thrown in the bin by one of the most useless governments ever. Enough is enough. You and your family deserve so much better. That’s what we will fight for.

Fianna Fáil: “Jim, you need to appeal more to our base”
Jim Gavin: “I have no recollection of these alleged financial transactions”
Fianna Fáil: “Not like that”
Susanna Reid: "Once you've granted statehood, then surely that state decides who leads them & if Hamas win elections they would lead them..."
Kevin Maguire: "... you'd set up a state & you say only certain parties can stand"
Reid: "It doesn't sound like statehood" #GMB
I see RTÉ News in its headlines has dubbed comments by Catherine Connolly as “controversial”
She said that it’s up to the Palestinians to decide who runs their country, not the British or Americans
She is correct and an Irish broadcaster should have a bit of cop on such issues
“I have not betrayed my people. It is they who have betrayed the tenets of Judaism, which were always full of compassion.”
Actor Miriam Margolyes denounces Israel’s treatment of Palestinians, sharing she has lost friends and family members over her outspoken views.
Hugh Bonneville took advantage of a live TV interview at the premiere for #DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale to make a statement about Gaza. Watch the face of ITV News reporter Helen Keenan drop as he *goes there*.
