T&C's Apply. Good luck
Two dozen American federal parliamentarians sending a clear message to Ireland over stance towards Israel. Whatever one thinks of the stance, Irish prosperity is at stake. Unless I missed, not considered newsworthy by the national broadcaster on main TV news. Needs deep public discussion and debate.

Ireland-US relations are moving towards major crisis. Text of yesterday's letter from 16 federal lawmakers urging the Trump administration to act against Ireland. Anyone in Ireland who thinks this is not serious or newsworthy doesn't know a lot about how the big bad world works.
Well worth watching this to see how Irish and American views on Isreal-Palestine conflict differ.
Whichever view you take, the past week has revealed that the US is willing to use its arsenal of economic diplomacy tools against Ireland.
Reading Irish media today, with little coverage or analysis of the scale of what happened last week, it’s clear that the threat Ireland faces is not understood.
With Ireland's population growing more than 10 times faster than the rest of Europe and home-building stagnating, inward migration will have to be lowered if there is any chance of matching housing supply with demand.
This week's column.

Ireland's population growth is among the fastest in world, but home-building is stagnating. Today's column advocates managing demand better, particularly the large-scale issuance of non-work residency permits.

Early days
Tourist slump deepens with 30% fall in visitors and €88m revenue loss
The number of tourists who visited Ireland last month was down 30 per cent, with the economy missing out on more than €88m compared with the same period last year.

🚨 🚨 🚨
Igo Café in Sallynoggin was paid €12.4million in Q4 alone for "Asylum Services".
It is now the SINGLE BIGGEST recipient of taxpayers money in the asylum scam. It is an open secret that the person operating this enterprise is David Mooney:
former strip- club owner
IRA informant
State protected witness
"Balloon head" (as described in court)
Garda impersonator
Accused in the Special Criminal Court of having a cocaine addiction & assaulting a female employee, which he denied.
How does a man like this become the LARGEST recipient of tax payers money in THE MOST controversial & expensive scheme in the history of the State and NOT ONE single media exposé on it all.
Honest tax-payers are being taken for nothing but fools.
RPZ rent controls have outlived their purpose.
A 4% cap mattered in an economy with flat wage growth.
But now wage growth is >5% and the cap is a strict 2% (or lower CPI).
Time to lift them!

"Benefacts provided transparency and accountability for NGO spend so what did they Government do ? They shut it down"
TD Ken O' Flynn on the incredible amount of money the state spends on over 32,000 NGO's - An NGO for every 155 people in the country.

Good morning folks.
I've a naughty idea in the @Independent_ie.
Maybe striving for government efficiency isn't such a bad thing, even if the US version has its flaws...
The @artscouncil_ie / @opwireland sure could use it.

There is a very strong moral case for the Occupied Territories Bill. But as @DanMulhall points out here, passing it is not without peril in an already fraught milieu. It could cost Ireland and its people dearly. I got a real sense of this when in DC and Boston recently.
According to Ireland’s Minister for Tourism @cathmartingreen , Irish Pubs and Restaurants are “not part of the Department of Tourism remit “
What a load of nonsense !!
In 30 years of working in the industry, I’ve never heard such rubbish.
Roll on the General Election 🗳️
