Since the start of Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza the European Investment Bank, the EU’s lending arm, has signed off on €650m in loans for Israeli infrastructure projects.

Bank Leumi, which last week froze UNWRA’s bank accounts, was given a €250m EIB loan six weeks ago.

@lidl_ireland hi. Is there any way to tell if or when a product will be for sale again? Specifically wondering about this hob.

A lot of Irish journalists lauding the excellent work of Blinne Ní Ghrálaigh at the International Court of Justice not even 100 days after they derided P@ddy C0sgrave for saying that war crimes were war crimes even when committed by allies. 👍

@eircare hi, I'm trying to find out about this current limited offer. Does this stay at 20 if I sign up now or does it revert to 30 at some point?

I've written again to the Public Accounts Committee and asked that they at least acknowledge the letter I sent to the PAC two weeks ago asking that I be allowed address this in the Public Accounts Committee

The PAC is failing to act on the evidence it has or to reveal it

Why would @DarraghOBrienTD launch a Housing “Progress” Report at the same time as Ryan Tubridy is in front of a Dáil Committee? 🤔

Maybe he’s hoping people wont notice the lack of actual progress on social & affordable housing, tenant-in-situ purchases & homelessness. 🙄

@VillageMagIRE Nobody will put much effort into getting to the bottom of any of this for fear it may force a closer look at themselves. People in glass houses and all that. Just enough outrage to placate the masses and everyone gets to dissappear with a nice pension payout.

@Real_bjak @killianwoods Don't worry, the foundation behind it has many KPMG members on its board. They know how to handle money, right?

[Village Magazine @VillageMagIRE]

In 2016, Dee Forbes and Patrick Coveney (Rory's brother) were on the commercial board of Munster Rugby (MR) which was sponsored by Keary's Renault for whom Ryan Tubridy later hosted a Late Late Show. By 2019 Garrett Tubridy (Ryan's brother) was serving as Commercial Head of MR.

@TheBoyWonerd @nwl88444048 Fair enough, it is old. Some different names but still heavily influenced by the likes of KPMG with many current or former staff on the board. https://t.co/kgtvcbsTaB Google "KPMG scandal". They are clearly commited and talented at something alright.

@FineGael Surely this is false advertising?

[Tom Higgins @tomthumb112]

@EamonMelia I've been bracing myself since 2008.

@nwl88444048 Who was the creative team? Clearly coming up with such a failure of an idea deserved a few extra bob.

@bconin8 @sineadcunningha @RoryHearneGaffs The numbers sound great but when you put any effort into breaking down what was actually delivered it further backs up how awful the government has been on social housing.
