Horrendous horrendous story, that repeats every week, multiple times a week in this country. But there will be no wailing from politicians and calls for new laws to address this rampant dangerous behaviour that is endangering and killing our people.

Madness, pure madness Scarlets make a big break with clock red but turnover the ball, but back for foul play check, yellow card Kok. And from the subsequent penalty, lineout, maul, the ball spins wide and great ball from Costello but soft soft defending by Ulster to lose this one #ScavUls #URC

Huge finish by Glasgow, and they secure full match points, and maximum 20 points to claim number one seed. UBB shifted to the left of the bracket now hosting Bulls. #EPCR

Full bracket of the EPCR.

If Denmark can get farmers to agree to dropping their nitrates derogation, adopting a carbon tax on meat, government promotion of plant-based diets and rewilding a fifth of the country - why can't Ireland? www.irishtimes.com/science/2026...

Quite a good set of questions.

Éibhear Ó hAnluain @eibhear.gibiris.org •19m For politicians flirting with schemes to protect children online, you will
need to answer at least these questions for me to take you seriously:
- What specific harms are you seeking to mitigate? - What scientific evidence have you that suggest your proposal will be
effective? Please cite.

...
Éibhear Ó hAnluain @eibhear.gibiris.org • 19m
- How, exactly, will *your* scheme work to mitigate those harms?
- Who advises you in these matters and what are their credentials? - How, exactly, will you eliminate (or, at least, limit) unintended
consequences?
- Who have you decided will be acceptably overlooked in your scheme?

Éibhear Ó hAnluain @eibhear.gibiris.org • 19m
- What actions will your scheme allow for in the event of it failing badly? - What recourse will be available to those negatively impacted by your
scheme?
And these are just those I can think of off the top of my head.

Excellent thread by Simon on the nature of Irish politics, led by FFG and their preference for whom they listen, and how they set policy based on that. I missed the thread when it posted as one of the posts mentions Elmo by name which I have filtered out for sanity purposes.

Meanwhile established lobby groups, long inside the walls, can say “Ireland should use a chunk of its EU political capital to get a nitrates derogation so dairy farmers don’t have to change.” Most Irish people are not dairy farmers, and would prefer clean rivers www.antaisce.org/news/eu-nitr...
