This graph should be on the front of newspapers. From Sinead O'Sullivan: www.butthistime.com/p/mind-the-gap

A graph showing the connection between GDP and infrastructure in the EU. Ireland a massive outlier - one of the richest, with the worst infrastructure

For shame, Ireland. This behaviour by our state is repellant. www.irishtimes.com/ireland/soci...

Liam O’Dwyer, former secretary general of the Irish Red Cross (IRC) and now volunteering with the charity, said it was “simply a reality” that thousands of Ipas beds were vacant while men slept rough.

“It is counterproductive and a huge waste of resources – the handing out of tents and sleeping bags, most of which are then destroyed.

“There is a message the Government wants to give out that we are full but really it is an unsavoury way of dealing with this. People who come here need support.”

Look at this amazing round-up of the faith-based communities active in North-East inner city Dublin! The report is a fascinating look at how these communities help with integration and transition into Irish society for new arrivals. What a lovely insight into the support networks of the city.

I am SO PROUD of my amazing friend @ailishdrake.bsky.social who has won a gold medal for the garden she has designed at Bloom this year! And made the front page of the Irish Times with it! Can't wait to visit.

I agree! As a country, we do need to address the danger cyclists pose to others. I would rank it as urgent issue #7359, in order of importance.

Cyclists en masse! Such a buzz in the Innovation Lab today for the annual meeting of Irish Cycling. I'm honoured to be part of it.

If you're wondering who is showing up for the Wickham-Clare St consultation...

Just shut. it. down. If a real person was damaging your kid like this, you'd be getting them arrested.

Is the Limerick city forecast broken on Met.ie or is Limerick in some weird weather microclimate? Search anywhere in/around Limerick and it's forecast warmish & wet. Limerick city? Dry and below freezing. V odd.

AI descriptions on shopping websites are so, so bad. Got a new lipstick in a shade called "red armchair." The website that is selling it thinks it's an actual chair.

Wrapping up the SMARTLAB project and marvelling at the work that has gone into it. Writing up is miserable but gratifying in a way.

I'm going to miss this view when I finish up with the SMARTLAB project next month. UL's campus has unbeatable foliage.
