Nick Delehanty was on Tipp FM yesterday to talk about the failure of his business. listening back now. however little you think he knows about economics, he knows less. when he manages to stay on topic, he blames his business failing entirely on workers having too many rights and entitlements.

"How do you exempt locals from immigration checks without racial profiling?" “A human-rights based approach is adopted in relation to every individual stopped". OK then.

Shocked to hear about Corinna Hardgrave's death. In 2021 she reached out to include me in an IT list of people to watch in food. I suggested my source who had set up an interesting food business instead, she was kind & very open to that idea. I was so happy to see my source's pic in IT. RIP💔

This iconic photo of Bertie Ahern in the Tolka flood waters in 2002, was taken by Colin Keegan, who died in traffic collision last Saturday. Colin was kind enough to let us use the photo for free in the first postcard campaign I ran in @foeireland.bsky.social in 2005. May he rest in peace.

Was just sitting at home when a dishevelled mouse and my backyard cat barged into the room. Then the mouse hid in my bathroom. Finally, I managed to get the mouse out and into the backyard, where the cat is still searching for it. Enough for today, I'm goin' to bed

And I will die on the hill of Gerry Adams having been a much better leader on this issue, maybe for that reason or maybe for another. SF’s vigorous opposition to the citizenship referendum was a proud moment in their history. I have serious doubts it would be repeated today.

Lucozade was among the kitties featured in this year's Stoneybatter cat crawl. Please keep an eye out.

Text alongside a photo of a back and white kitty it says: Hoping someone has seen our cat, Lucozade. He's been missing since Wednesday morning.

Last seen: around Ivar Street, Stoneybatter, Dublin. Microchipped. Really friendly.

He has a black collar with an AirTag that has not updated since Wednesday morning when it last pinged about 5km away in Ballymun.

Given that Irish government TDs have cited Sweden's decision to introduce a language test for citizenship as justification for Ireland introducing one, it seems relevant that Sweden is finding it difficult to actually do it

Once again it needs to be stressed that this is something happening across the board in Irish immigration- changes in practice leading to refusals that would not have occurred in previous years. We are in a very dark time for the rights of people migrating to Ireland and their families.

Irish plans to exempt processing of your data for AI from the GDPR are "not in line with the Charter of Fundamental Rights"; they amount to an "illegal change of primary law"; they "exempt AI from the guarantees in the Treaties and render them largely meaningless". Damning, from the leading expert.

The more I look at it, the more this graph at the end of my most recent Gist explains the behaviour of so many of Ireland's political parties. SF, for example, simply can't deal with 50% of its supporters looking to strengthen institutions while the other 50% want to blow them up.

Stacked bar chart from More in Common, June 2026. Question: "Which comes closest to your view? Please use a scale of 1–4 where 1 means you agree with the first statement and 4 means you agree with the second." Statement 1: "Our political and social institutions are worth preserving and improving, not destroying." Statement 4: "When I think about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking 'just let them all burn.'" Results in percent, listed as 1 (preserve), 2, 3, 4 (burn):

All respondents: 28, 30, 22, 20.
Fianna Fáil: 46, 29, 13, 11.
Sinn Féin: 25, 25, 25, 25.
Fine Gael: 47, 31, 13, 9.
Green Party: 46, 22, 21, 12.
Labour: 36, 36, 20, 8.
Social Democrats: 23, 49, 22, 7.
Independent Ireland / Aontú: 15, 28, 27, 29.
Other: 28, 26, 21, 26.
Non-voters: 20, 32, 25, 23.
