As of Cabinet yesterday, one now needs the ability to communicate in order to be considered a citizen. Yet in the first three months of 2026, not a single child in ten counties was given a plan on how the State would deliver them with speech and language therapy. This week’s column @thejournal.ie:

The eye-watering numbers of children waiting for Assessment of Need in this country expose a broken system offering little hope to families.

RTÉ’s boycott of this year’s Eurovision goes beyond simply not sending a contestant to Vienna, as the broadcaster will not be showing any of this week’s shows. Instead, RTÉ2 will broadcast the classic Father Ted episode A Song for Europe during the usual Eurovision timeslot.

Remote working costs nothing for government to implement, can easily reduce traffic congestion and save workers who can work from home time and money. Why wouldn’t Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael want to help commuters stuck in traffic? www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
