You sometimes see Government TDs pointing out that Ireland isn’t unique in the world in having a housing crisis. But this graph in today’s Financial Times shows just how extreme ours is compared to the places elsewhere, which also describe themselves as a in a housing crisis.
The share of young adults living with their parents is climbing in many countries and cities, with Ireland leading the way % of people aged 25-34 who live with their parents. National averages vs major regions

[5 line graphs. Ireland’s is sharply above 40% since 2010. The rest show US, U.K., Canada and Australia. The next highest result is the US at just over 20%]

Ireland is a huge outlier: This is more than three times the data centre consumption share of the Netherlands (7%), which is the second highest share in Europe (average 3%).

The Irish men’s team *need* to just not play the Israel game. To boycott is not just morally right, but such a fucking winner long-term from a PR perspective when it’s against a football establishment of such crooked bastards. Nobody will mind whatever the “punishment” is.

A ban also stops the Government from having to actually legislate on what social media companies are doing to stop harmful content being produced and shared. Just put a blindfold on your child, never mind that adults can still see all this harmful garbage day and night.

The reluctance among media outlets to specify that these pogroms are the work of far-right loyalist thugs is particularly weird, given that they sign their work! The LVF spray tags on the houses of the people they burn out, whether Catholics, migrants or refugees. They've done this for decades!

It is worth briefly pointing out that none of these undeclared society-shaping policy choices was ever brought to light or surfaced by the political correspondent class. Their job is to describe the official narratives, not to look outside the window and compare those narratives to reality.

Simon Harris acknowledges that Ireland's new excise level on diesel will be 10c below the minimum level required by the EU - but it's being pursued anyway based on the "acuity" of the situation. So, in not so many words, Ireland is asking for forgiveness rather than permission

Oh well! To host the last game, the Irish gov spent €4.2m on a licence fee to the NFL, and another €5m on infrastructure and “operational costs”. DCC spent €350,000. Imagine if that money was spent on local sporting initiatives? A lot of kids in Dublin City don’t even have a pitch to play on.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

One of the evident failures of the FF and FG party candidates in the Presidential election was their inability to articulate what either party was for. These are hollow vessels, whose policies are largely set by outside forces. An organised external lobby can simply slot their preferred policy in

Ireland has one of the best and most genre-diverse music scenes in the world, but there’s a lack of clear and well-resourced funding pathways. Many musicians are dealing with constant financial precariousness. I wrote about the need for a large, dedicated music fund distributed at a local level.

John Collison was talking utter garbage and it says so much that so many politicians fell over themselves to fellate him for writing a pack of lies
As such, ABP was able to conclude that the project would not adversely affect the integrity of Killarney National Park SAC.

Rather than building the homes, however, in July 2025 the developer, Portal Asset Holdings, was looking to flip the land – now with planning permission for 224 homes – for €9.5 million.

Suggesting that 228 homes were “blocked” in Killarney because of bats, without mentioning the highly relevant and more recent context that the developer later received permission at the site and has since been trying to sell the land (now with planning for 224 homes), is remarkable.
