RIP Nilay Ateşoğlu, a Queer Kurdish asylum seeker who sadly took her own life at the Cliffs of Moher. "I have no family," her note said. She asked to be buried in "a handful of soil" in Ireland. "Do not give my corpse to the oppressors." Her note was ignored & her body was sent to Turkey.

Eamon Ryan was in a position of real power to change a disastrous sitka-based forestry model, but did nothing. (The Green Party's Pippa Hackett was in charge of a review.) Now he's lamenting our disastrous sitka-based forestry model??? Words fail. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

Eamon Ryan: Storm Éowyn is a reminder why we need more EVs and fewer Sitka spruce trees

It makes no sense to put public money into a forest that is going to be blown down again in 10, 20 or 30 years' time

It's rubbish that they're sitting there, but I have absolutely no respect for the councillor trying to get these sold to private buyers based on the fact that they could be renovated by them quickly and then rented out [at some no doubt stupendous] cost.

Cairn Homes made €160 million profit last year! That’s a profit of €70,000 per home built. Who is paying for that profit? People trying to buy homes! Profiteering from the basic human need for shelter is disgusting. It’s why we need a state construction company to cut out the cost of private profit.

I've been pursuing this scandal the last year. This company overcharges parents just to see their own children. It’s also alleged they haven't ensured staff working with children are Garda vetted. It’s scandalous TUSLA gave them more than half a million euros of public money over the last 2 years.
