Happy Michaelmas! In some parts of Ireland on this day, rent could be paid in geese. If you’re due to pay rent this month, please consider setting a very irritated goose on your landlord in lieu of payment, in the name of upholding important Irish traditions.
A drawing of mine of a goose looking concerned, with a tag around its neck that reads "This month's rent, with thanks".

people on the other place are wetting themsleves with excitement at the latest supposedly thorough database of public spending. €49 a year he's charging for "Every line of public spending in Ireland", but it clearly isn't comprehensive if it doesn't show Mattie McGrath's contracts with Tipp CoCo!
X post by William Kennedy. It reads

I have spent the last few weeks building Public Purse Ireland. 

Its aim is simple. List every line item of government expenditure with the supplier, description and the amount, starting with grants and purchase orders.

No fancy charts, no broad economic strokes, but just there in black and white. 

The information is out there, scattered and hidden on the web. Public Purse brings it under one roof.Every line of Irish public spending. Yours to use.
One licence unlocks the full dataset, a developer API, and AI assistants that can answer questions about the money in plain English. Support Public Purse while the early price still exists.

€49 VAT included · 12 months

This founding price is limited. Once it goes, it goes — lock it in before the offer ends.

Went to college in UL and it always struck me that there is no cinema in Limerick city centre. There are chain cinemas near the colleges, but nothing like the Lighthouse. There was a monthly series at the Belltable and it was in association with the IFI. Big missed opportunity

"Ireland players have alleged that goalscorer Adam Idah was racially abused by Israel fans during the controversial Nations League match in Hungary on Sunday night." [Times]
Ireland accuse Israel fans of racist abuse
Paul Rowan - Irish Football Correspondent, Debrecen

Idah was the subject of chants by the Israel fans
Ireland players have alleged that goalscorer Adam Idah was racially abused by Israel fans during the controversial Nations League match in Hungary on Sunday night.

According to a Football Association of Ireland (FAI) spokesman, Jayson Molumby heard the chants before halftime and the midfielder asked the German referee, Harms Osmers, and the fourth official, Florian Exner, to “listen”.

Because Uefa’s protocol in that situation is to say the word “racism”, European football’s governing body said that no immediate action — such as a warning over the PA system — was taken.

However, the FAI has now said that it will go through the footage to find out if there is any evidence of the alleged abuse and, if so, demand a Uefa investigation into the treatment of Idah, 25, who plays for Swansea City.

There were also reports of confrontations in the tunnel between players, with the Israel captain, Manor Solomon, taking exception to what some Irish players were saying and the opposition bowing their heads during the Israeli national anthem.

In an angry rant after the game, Solomon vowed to get “revenge” on Ireland when the teams meet again on Sunday.

“They said nonsense [to us] during the game, I don’t want to talk about them,” Solomon said. “If I say what I think about them, I’ll probably be banned for a few games so I don’t want to say. Of course they hate us and we don’t like them. I’m already looking forward to the next game against them. What they did with the anthem? I’m not interested in them, we have a country that is ten times better than theirs, stronger, an amazing country with amazing people.

As Europe faces increasing global competition, it is vital that we support businesses to scale, attract investment and drive digital transformation across the Union."
