Reading James by Percival Everett. I’m 60% through it. I love it so much I think I need to stop reading it now because I don’t want it to end. #booksky 📚💙

Whatever the colour of your political persuasion, if this ISN’T your view… you’re on the wrong side. Simple.

I’m creeping in and out of the sitting room so I don’t disturb our puppy. I really thought I was gone from all of that now that my children are young adults.

Getting my hair done at the moment. They are playing music from the 80s and 90s. I’m old, know all the songs, so I’m humming along. Just heard the twenty something hairdresser beside me say “oh great the OAPs are picking the music today. I’ve never heard any of these songs” 🤣

The song The Wheels On The Bus was written in 1937, but motorised buses date back to the 1890s. So there was a 43 year period where people were just getting on buses with no idea of what was going to happen.

im begging you once again to please decouple "evil" from "mentally ill." every time you label an evil man mentally ill you throw the most vulnerable people under a bus. we are not more likely to be prone to violence. in fact, we are more likely to be victims of abuse. please remember that.

This is really important data crunching by @Nick_Delehanty - have a read of it. It lays out the numbers coming to work, where they are from and where they are working from tech, to meat packing and healthcare. Great work.

Informative figures. Worth pointing out though that each work permit issued is NOT the same a new arrival in the state. Far from it. These numbers would include renewals & extensions, change of status, changes of work type etc. And, not everyone stays. That doesn't come
across.

These numbers should be amplified everywhere there is a flat surface. The 3,000 person sample size was statistically significant. The direction of travel is positive but runs directly contrary to the perception born in the echo-chamber of Twitter-brained media and politics. (H&CC is a client)

RTE 100

Year-on-year datasets tracking changes in public sentiment in Ireland between 2024 and 2025 show
that 66% agree that immigrants contribute positively to Irish culture and community, which is up 2% up from 64% in 2024.
79% believe working-class people are struggling due to systemic inequality which is also up 2% from 77% in 2024.
Those who believe wealthy people are successful because they were given more opportunities than others has risen from 63% in 2024 to 69% in 2025.
The number of people who support the freedom of transgender people to live their lives is up 5% up from 70% in 2024.
80% agree that Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities face greater barriers to success than white people, up 5% up from 75% in 2024.

Research Framework
Ireland in Focus draws on multiple sources of data to provide a clearer understanding of how hate, disinformation and far-right mobilisation are evolving across Ireland in
2025. This includes H&CC's analysis of far-right developments in political organising, informal networks and far-right agitators, giving insights into how narratives, mobilisation and organising strategies are emerging and shifting.
company Dynata. The data was independently weighted by Ireland Thinks using demographic and methodological controls such as age, gender, ethnicity and voting behaviour at time of poll fielding to ensure representativeness and statistical robustness. The consistent methodology across both waves allows for reliable year-on-year comparison of sentiment and social trends and the large sample size gives high levels of statistical significance.
Ireland in Focus also draws data from 89 communities' crisis responses (49 in 2024 and 40 in 2025) supported by H&CC to capture how local communities responded in real time to moments of tension, protest and disinformation.
Ireland in Focus, assesses public attitudes through two large, nationally representative, anonymous surveys conducted in 2024 and 2025, each with approximately 3,000 respondents via independent polling
The consistency in design across both years provides a robust basis for tracking how attitudes are shifting - making this one of the first datasets of its kind in Ireland to capture changes in public sentiment over time. Finally to understand how narratives were spreading and evolving in the public sphere, narrative benchmarking was analysed using a commercial social media research tool.

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
