Going to try and migrate to Bluesky given Elon Musk is repugnant.

@wicklowcoco people are climbing over the Bray cliff walk fence every time I'm there. Last week I saw someone climb around the edge and hang over the train track to get round. In what world is this safe?

@raksgeo I absolutely loved it!

[Ciarán Casey @ciaranmcasey]

'Finance Dublin' asked me and others to write about the books they've most enjoyed recently. It was a nice opportunity to try and get across how much I loved Borstal Boy (and why everyone should read it)

@willgoodbody Best of luck Will!

An article on the culture in the Department of Finance and why primacy given to the Budget continues to break my heart. Frank Barry's article in the same issue is excellent- well worth a read

@delong This is fantastic!

The energetic distortion of basic economic principles here is pretty shameless

'... Has failed to meet the quota....'

Hypothetical manifesto:
Reform building apprenticeships and subsidise what we need,
All windfall tax in a wealth fund to be spent as viable,
Decouple local & national politics,
Index welfare and tax bands vs inflation,
Vast rewilding,
Stringent animal rights laws and inspections

@darasRantings @AnMailleach Singapore is down to 1.04 which is crazy. They went on a big drive to reduce fertility from 6 after independence and rapidly overshot all targets before realising it's dramatically harder to pull them back up again.

In fairness this is actually getting quite funny

@_sophestry It's all smoke and mirrors Sophie! Hope you're keeping well?

[Ciarán Casey @ciaranmcasey]

It's a low bar, but this election campaign seems particularly bad for promises masquerading as policy.

[Ciarán Casey @ciaranmcasey]

@tierneysimon @jburnmurdoch did this amazing graph. It's mind-blowing that the inflation spike has been so politically damaging when the 1970s was so much worse and wasn't
