“Had Kerry accidentally assembled a civilian road-safety investigation unit? Residents were counting collisions, measuring footpaths, recording speeds and cross-referencing design standards – effectively doing the evidence-gathering long abandoned by Government” 💯 www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

My brother's an economist and it's truly embarrassing to be in a group with him when he introduces himself as a scientist. There are aspects of science in economics but it's pretty weak stuff, almost homeopathic.

The fine for riding an e-scooter without a hi-viz vest, so that a careless motorist *might* see you (€100), will be higher than the fine for the same motorists if a Garda stops them for driving carelessly (€80). 🤷‍♂️

It's a big day for music fans today (8th August), as it marks the 20th anniversary of the Dave Matthews Band Chicago River incident. And if you think you can guess where this story is going, I assure you that you cannot. Spoiler: things rapidly went down the drain. And, er, didn't.

In February 2022, I was out protesting for a cycle path along the Salthill promenade. Consultation matters. Community engagement matters. But four years to come up with a plan for a short cycle path and some other basic upgrades? That’s not engagement, that’s politician inertia, that's paralysis.
