Look it’s demented to me the position Ireland is in financially and to have a government with zero ambition. No vision of a future at all. Just getting to the next day.

Every time I see a greyhound or a lurcher in Sweden, I try to ask the owner where they got it, and the answer is ALWAYS that it's a rescue dog from Ireland.

We’ve had to listen to some very unimpressive TDs talk shit about public sector workers needing to prove their worth and up their game. Meanwhile the sight of an almost-empty greyhound track and the yelping of mistreated animals gets them humming the national anthem as a tear rolls down their cheek

In fairness there are probably a few infrastructural bits to sort out first before handing out gift vouchers. Culture Night is a useful guide here - people like when nice places with stuff going on are open in the evening.

Checking in on the budget. Wondering which voters’ needs are being prioritised.

THE IRISH TIMES
• Reductions in tax for middle-income earners will be worth up to €1,500 for a couple with a combined income of €100,000
• Minimum wage set to rise 79 cent to €14.94
• Tax-free threshold for earnings under the rent-a-room relief will rise to
€16,000

An excellent piece from colleagues across the Irish university sector on the moral, legal and educational imperatives to accord visas to Palestinian students who have scholarships to study in Ireland. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Gazan students’ visas must be granted before it is too late

A group of leading Irish academics write that the mass refusal of visas to Palestinian students makes a mockery of the Taoiseach’s speech to the UN General Assembly

This is DPER. This is literally DPER. Chamber's own department: Public Expenditure and Reform. Unless, it's DOGE. It's a ha'penny DOGE, isn't it? Because whoever is whispering into the minister's ear doesn't know what a DPER is, but is all like, "What Ireland needs is a DOGE, bro."

Very efficient to have them doing what DPER already does. My guess is this will be a half arsed DOGE for the Healy Rae and Michael Collins axis who'll get to haul a few woke NGOs into the PAC and cancel a bikeshed in Ennis.

I can't be the target for this type of advice because it makes no sense. This must be directed at white people talking to other white people. I don't respect anyone who supports ICE or thinks that immigrants here in Canada are a problem. If I sat with them they might try to get me deported.

Ireland's chronic over-dependence on HGVs for freight leaves us at mercy of every fuel crisis & cutting diesel prices is only a short-term salve. We need to shift to rail freight & electrify our HGV fleet, as I explain in @irishexaminer.bsky.social today. www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Sigh; egg yolk is an emulsifier, "flavours" are ultra-processed now. www.theguardian.com/food/2026/oc...

A nutritionist and public health researcher at Deakin Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, Dr Priscila Machado, describes UPFs as “branded, commercial formulations made from cheap ingredients extracted or derived from whole foods, combined with additives, and mostly containing little to no whole food”. She says looking at ingredient lists is a practical way to spot them: “If there are ingredients you don’t recognise or use at home, like protein isolates, emulsifiers, colour, flavours, and other additives, it’s probably ultra-processed.”

I work with abortion providers in Colorado. One of them had a patient whose water broke at 4 1/2 months, was told by a Houston hospital they couldn't help her until she went into labor or went septic, so *she got on a plane & flew to Denver mid-miscarriage*. There's no respectful disagreement here.

The Garvaghy Road Community Centre has now installed sirens in the event of an Orange March: “as soon as people hear the alarm, they’ll know we’re under attack.” When we say it’s a provocation, this is just that. A provocation to return to siege mentality. No one should have to live like this.

The Holocaust being defined as the sin of Europe par excellence means Jewish nationalism cannot be a “normal” (albeit dangerous) European nationalism like all others; it is seen by one side as justice, which in turn requires the other side to defeat it to end that guilt. This is bad for everyone.
