After Micheál frogmarched his cabinet out to endorse an unknown seat warmer for his own tilt at the Aras, he has zero credibility to now force his backbenchers to gift the blueshirts their first ever president 🤷‍♂️ www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2025...

So Scotland has managed to build out 172 times more offshore wind power than Ireland - presumably because our feckless government would rather just waste billions on burning imported fuels www.irishtimes.com/business/eco...

the common thread between inappropriate spinal ops, unwarranted hip ops, a culture of malpractice & cover-ups & dodgy pay deals is criminally negligent governance - so the idea that we’d now give these same people “the most expensive hospital in the world” is frankly obscene 🤷‍♂️

will any government politicians bother to question @cifireland.bsky.social about how they let this happen or @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social about why they didn’t collect the unpaid €140k in dereliction fines 🤷‍♂️ their silence makes it impossible to believe they even want to fix our housing crisis 🤦‍♂️

Panel 1: A wolf is in a sheep costume with a yellow ribbon on the neck. He's in a flock of sheep. He's thinking "Hehehe... They don't know I'm really a wolf."

Panel 2: A few of the sheep have approached the wolf. One is touching his 'wool', saying "oh my gosh, your wool is so soft!" Another is touching his ribbon, saying "and your ribbon is so pretty!"

Panel 3: The sheep are pulling him along with them somewhere, saying "c'mon, let's go dance in the meadow!" and "let's dance and graze!" He is smiling and beginning to blush.

Panel 4: Two wolves are sitting at a campfire. One has his head in his hands. The other is saying "It's been 4 days, where the hell is he."

In economics, as in geopolitics, Trump fundamentally misunderstands the limits of American power. It is at the centre of everything he does. The markets, the only real impediment to him now, may be about to teach him how wrong he is. New writing from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

Again and again, Trump misunderstands the limits of American power.
And as a result is taking us to a global financial precipice.

Religion does NOT belong in our schools! Agreed? ✋
An illustration showing a metaphorical “large high wall” separating “Church” and “State.” On the side labeled “Church,” buildings resembling places of worship are captioned “Religion goes here.” On the side labeled “State,” there are government buildings and a public school labeled “Science goes here.” The top of the image displays the text “BUILD THIS WALL.”

The extent of Storm #Eowyn’s impact on forests cannot be seen properly from the ground. This drone footage taken today above a stand I visited in Meath shows how wind hardened trees around the edge remain standing while the centre has been flattened.

Ireland’s governing coalition got off to a rattled start today as its new member, a loose-cannon group of rural independents, insisted on holding positions in both the government and the opposition.

Ireland’s government face-plants on first day as partners trigger bedlam
Independents who back Taoiseach-nominee Micheál Martin’s new coalition provoke parliamentary gridlock over their strange demand to hold both government posts and opposition seats.
