No matter how much we’ve been talking about fuel prices in the news lately, the shock of this wasn’t any easier. Govt are going to run into more questions about temporary carbon tax cuts in the weeks to come…

Powerful photo on the front of The Irish Times this morning showing Garda Kevin Flatley’s colleagues mourning him at a memorial in Dublin Castle last night. Really sad to hear all the stories about him over the last 36 hours. Thoughts with everyone in the service.

Spoke to @antonsavage.bsky.social this morning on Newstalk about only 23 Gardaí being appointed to Roads Policing last year despite a promise for more. The force has slightly moved the goal posts on it wanting to appoint the full 150 this year. www.newstalk.com/news/only-23...

Sincere apologies to the amount of times I misspelled Kilanerin. And Fionntán O Súillebháin of Sinn Féin. Hope he doesn’t mind me saying but it’s not the easiest name to spell in a rush at a count centre! Hopefully I’ll be a Gaeilgeoir for the next election 🗳️ 🇮🇪
