My god I let someone get too big in my life, I will not be doing that again. If you suck the oxygen from the room, you deserve to not be in my life. Or many people's (they just don't know it yet).

Lorcan Sirr: €43bn should have been enough to build 110,000 homes. Only 27,000 were built
Another €9.4 billion was allocated to housing last week. There are questions to be asked about the effectiveness of housing budget spending

Today saw a really significant strike- the biggest in, really, decades. It happened because the people in the Government (politicians and civil service management alike) had no experience with how to address a strike. It had never happened to them and they were all over the shop in responding.

The Government is sitting on a dragon’s horde of money. It offered public sector workers less than the rate of inflation. In effect, it’s offering was more work for a real-world pay cut. Faced with those workers refusing to accept this, it railed, whinged, spluttered, insulted and wheedled.

Civil Legal Aid (largely Family Law) has seen a collapse in solicitors willing to work for the money now offered. The scheme has lost 60% of its solicitors in the last decade.

✊️ Our solidarity to those on strike today. Fair pay is crucial in education and care, which are women-led sectors. 📢 NWC calls on government to begin pay negotiations and enact increases immediately, and these pay conditions must bridge the gap between sectoral pay and rates of inflation.
NWC supports public sector strikers. Our society relies heavily on the underpaid labour of women

Why is the Government pumping more than €20 million into greyhound racing while animal welfare concerns continue to mount? Social Democrats TD Jennifer Whitmore argues that Budget 2027 shows just how far down the government's list of priorities animal welfare really is. jrnl.ie/7188354

Why is the government keeping the greyhound industry on life support with taxpayers' money?
Judging by its Budget 2027 choices, it appears this government sees animal welfare as some kind of game.
