If Ireland is so rich then why does it feel so poor - and where has all the money gone … open.substack.com/pub/butthist...

These sorts of breakdowns used to be just irritating, then became suspicious (what standard of IT is protecting our money) but nowadays surely skirts being a regulatory breach (with most branch services now only doable online) 🤷‍♂️

Jaysus, Ivana needs to put AK47 back in his box - he had his go at the Labour leadership and it was a total car crash; time now to do what you’re told or I’m sure FG would be only delighted to have him …

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...

I really do hope that you’re right - I’d just be worried that the FIFs contain c16B which is only enough to run the HSE for 7 months; and it’s not so long ago that we raided c18B from the NPRF to bailout the banks … 😬

Seán Ó Loingsigh @seandlynch.bsky.social · 03/10/2025

So that certainly sounds very likely - but the long list of excuses for why Ireland is always the laggard in everything is just exhausting; 2 “booms” wasted now with very little to show for either

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...

For a fleeting moment, the State was at the forefront of this technology; now it’s back of the class

if the minister now admits that CHI can’t possibly be allowed to run a €2b hospital, will she also admit that physicians involved in malpractice can’t possibly be allowed to work there either 🤷‍♂️ www.ontheditch.com/childrens-he...

It’s a legal requirement.

“accountability” has to be about more than pensioning off delinquent board members - will the minister ensure that our new €2B hospital isn’t staffed by the same physicians who conducted unnecessary and inappropriate surgery on kids 🤷‍♂️

our do-nothing FFG government have now made us the worst per capita emitter in the EU facing billions in fines … maybe you voted for them but did you really vote for that 🤷‍♂️

Seán Ó Loingsigh @seandlynch.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

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 🤦‍♂️

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.
