This is an amazing idea from Trinity college and I wholly encourage students and faculty to help stoke momentum of it.

I want a similar society in my college if elected SU president at some stage.

I treat my college essays like opportunities for polemical ranting and do just the bare minimum besides to not get failed.

I know how to write academically but I just choose not to.

The godless and those who have no respect for their ancestors can only draw authority and belonging horizontally from currently existing institutions and peer groups, whereas those who walk with God and honor their ancestors draw it vertically from unassailable authorities. Many, many Irish-Anglos are functionally godless and functionally have no respect for their ancestors, which is exactly why they expect bitchy social policing to work on you because it does on them, and are shocked and annoyed when none of it does

An interesting thing to note regarding the EU Summit in Dublin today is that it shows the state has the material ability to provide effective security in Dublin, and simply refuses to do so unless it is in service to visiting global elites.

This security has been made necessary by the government's own immigration and soft-touch crime policies, however they are not willing to provide the people with even a fraction of the security we are seeing today.

This must unfortunately be the norm in a modern, unsafe, multicultural city like Dublin.

This sport receives more than €20M funding a year from our government.

Outside of high performance athletes, athletics in Ireland receives less than €3M.

It is a shame that we basically pay more here to kill animals for fun than to empower hard training Irish humans.

For every €1 the tax payer funds for athletics, almost €7 goes to greyhound racing.

And Ireland's animal rescue charities, of which I am involved, who have to clean up after this industry are very under-resourced while doing what should be considered a public service, only getting €6.5M in the next budget.

It's a vestige of aristocratic class pretentiousnsss on this island.

It needs reform, responsibility and accountability otherwise just ban it altogether.

@WoodstockW50883 Hence they didn't fight it.

Yeah that adds up.

I believe the IRA would have defeated the British army even against full-scale invasion and occupation had the Anti-Treaty republicans won the Irish Civil War in 1923.

Amazing revelation at the Omagh bomb inquiry today.

One of the bombers was an informer in the pay of British security!

Another meeting held re: Drybridge power plant tonight, this time in St. Olivers, Drogheda.

This is the last we're getting before objection submission deadline.

Draft your submission letter, mail or submit online for €20, spread the word to other residents and contact your TDs and local representatives.

Scan the QR code below to access the open campaign hub which includes information and letter templates.

Also please find in the below comment thread a copy&past-able objection letter.

I would particularly concentrate on the Drybridge application before 17 November.

It can help prepare a comprehensive, evidence-based objection to planning application 2660701, examining the environmental reports, the Boyne Valley's heritage and protected habitats, public health considerations, emissions, and the cumulative impact of having two approximately 180MW gas power stations in the same region.

That would give residents a much stronger submission than simply expressing general opposition to gas power.
