If you were being really cynical, you might suggest that constantly increasing our reliance on corporate tax revenue from multinational companies is an intentional gambit to hand those same companies more and more power over how the country is run and stop future govs going against them

One of the reasons public opinion on trans health care is where it is is because a lot of cis people will never ever believe just how corrupt the professional medical class running our health care really is.

he's saying the right words about co-design, but it is difficult to have much confidence when the starting point – a one-off lump sum only for people on disability allowance – is a fundamental misunderstanding of what a cost of disability payment is and not what DPOs advocated in our submissions

The bulk (80%) of the money the Irish government give to the racing industry is in the form of prize money (ie race winners get the cash), which is an *objectively* an inefficient and unfair way to distribute government subsidies…

time for this again...

two New York Times headlines: one reads "Iran Says Dozens Killed in Strike on School" other reads "9 Killed in Israeli City Near Jerusalem Sfter Iranian Missle Strike"
The first headline casts doubt and shows no reponsibility, the second is stated as fact and names actor.

Average families will get increase in income of around 1.4%. Inflation is running at over 3.5%. Instead of protecting people from the cost of living crisis, this #Budget2027 is going to mean more deprivation, more poverty and a harder struggle to get by. #SpéirGhorm #Budget27

If it’s genuinely reliable public transport, it’s a game changer. As someone who doesn’t drive, the unreliable nature of the services here means I rely on lifts for the most part. This lack of independence is infuriating.

Watson: Oooh, what’s that you’ve got?
Franklin: My final report
Watson: Little Rosie Franklin’s research! I bet it’s something!
Franklin: ROSALIND.
Crick: Oh, that’s a big name
W: You’re getting fancy on us! Tell me—
F: Ah. I love this game.
W: Is it a scientific breakthrough in feelings?
F: Well, I suppose I have to go into hysterics or have a baby somewhere, good day gentlemen
W: GO, GO
[W and C slip a look at F’s notes]
C: Nice

Last week Micheál Martin said Netanyahu 'could not give a toss' about Ireland playing Israel in the football. The week before he was speaking in the UN that we need to be doin more about the genocide. He'll be up in Garvaghy with an Irish jersey and a sash next week.

The US military fighter jets that landed at Shannon Airport on Saturday dropped missiles on Iran earlier this year. Micheál Martin lied to journalists when he said armed US soldiers – deployed for the illegal war on Iran – weren’t landing at the airport. www.ontheditch.com/fighter-jets...

They launched a combined 35 missiles during Operation Epic Fury.
