Spot on. I recall Solicitor Barry Galvin promoting a single criminal code book on 1980s on the Late Late, good to see the lawyers are on this as well but it's 2010 since last update.

No other neutral allows their security and defence to depend on countries who hack their health services and murder peoples in their millions (Russia, China). It's nuts. PS Our defencelesness means we are dependent on NATO (UK)

Spot on Thomas. Play the ball not the person. Gonna be a tough winter (see diesel) and I'm not seeing action or leadership from anyone e.g. Work From Home, Take the Bus, save the diesel for those who need it. Respect the drivers and farmers who bring you your food - not a word that I can see.

But in Ireland we'll keep burning imported fossil fuels: Our #FuelPrices are too low as we don't change our use when >€2/L! According to www.nora.ie/volumes-of-o... Ireland's oil use has increased not decreased so far in 2026 compared to same period in 2026. Lets subsidise it more so . . .

As of Monday 24th August 2026 Volumes of Oil Consumption subject to NORA Levy and Biofuel Levy Month by Month in Litres

An economist that can't put a value on imports? From what I can see we imported and burnt over €1.0m of fossil fuels per HOUR in 2025, that will have increased in 2026. Why🔥💶? Likewise, why would we export 90% of our agri output whilst importing 80% of what we eat? #StopBurningStuff

DC's run on electricity; you're right we don't need more DCs, they can reuse the one's they have better. But relatively speaking "If SUVs were a country, they would be the world’s fifth largest emitter of CO2" makes fuel burning SUV's a higher priority than DCs IMO. www.iea.org/commentaries...

Given the interest in this topic, here's Ireland EXPORTS for Jan'26 (one month). We are a rich country that could easily build our way out of this (fossil fuel) mess with wind turbines, pylons and pumped storage, batteries etc.. But we choose endless process instead. www.cso.ie/en/releasesa...

Inforgraphic from CSO.ie showing total value of Ireland's Exports January 2026 was €16.2Bn (one month) putting €14Bn we import in fossil fuels to burn in context.

Given the Agri opposition to #Mercosur can we all take a moment to reflect on CSO data? Ireland imports 78% of its total energy use as fuel. We then burn it. We are literally burning €1.6+m per HOUR in imports whilst sitting on Europe's largest wind resource (offshore). #speirgorm #fuelprotest

Worth citing where the Carbon Tax goes it's the only ring fenced tax AFAIK. You might bring up the fact that transport gets feck all back tho €11m in EV grants & chargers and nothing for agri machinery 🔋⚡. Bring www.hibra.ie up to!

Good explainer as to why Lough Neagh is algae clogged and our housing is screwed (well one of the many reasons). Another epic multi decade debacle from 'ourselves alone'; "Sinn Féin’s refusal to levy a charge on water is pathetic" Ulster says No! #speirgorm #Water www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Kimmins told the assembly she will not be “adding a financial burden to households that are already struggling”. The “burden” in the latest proposal is £65 (€74.60) a year on average, ranging from £23 for small houses to £204 for the most expensive. Social housing tenants and households on benefits would be exempt.

Young people are rightly enraged when their homeowning elders tell them to save for a deposit by buying fewer cups of coffee.
