Here's the liquid gas industry framing its product as a "just transition". This would be sidesplittingly funny if it was not apparent that this message is getting through to politicians.

If you've been thinking about subscribing to @irishcycle.com and you're in a position to do so, now would be a great time! By subscribing you're funding independent journalist, helping keep me focused more on writing articles and you help keep the show on the road For various reasons...

Thank you Jamie Bryson! Now if we can only convince her to take, Glinner, McGregor and Eoin O’Malley with her. Superb result. (Also no actual Irish person calls it “Republic of Ireland” in this context) #speirgorm

My increasing distaste for my native country - the Republic of Ireland - has reached such a pitch that I'm finally going to change my citizenship.

What's maddening is the almost complete lack of urgency about (or even discussion of) reducing fossil fuel use since the war started. Government have sat around, leaving most likely outcome a *reduction* in money available to decarbonise.

Was refused entry to the Ladies FAI cup final for ‘trying to make a political statement’ by wearing this jersey. Had to get the wonderful Shelbourne club SLO John Brennan to sort it out. Incase anyone was worried if the FAI couldn’t embarrass themselves any further.

Ripping the scab off the deep wound that is Drumcree, is painful and utterly unnecessary. However, we should console ourselves that Bryson seems to be out in front, he is the greatest loyalist own goal, whether brexit or close friend paedo Donaldson etc. Everything he does is a gift. #speirgorm

Brendan O’Connor asks smugly “would any of those players have seen Netanyahu’s speech at the UN?” These are not boys or idiots. They are full grown men with agency. The narrative that footballers can’t be expected to understand politics or the world is patronising nonsense. #StoptheGame #SpeirGorm

"my decision is based purely on my personal belief that killing of innocent people is wrong" I mean, if you're a teammate reading that, you should feel embarrassed. Tis that simple. No "complicated matter", no "difficult situation", no getting into all the issues, just one simple point.

allowing himself to be bullied into retracting what he said. not having the courage to stand by it. not having the support around him to allow him stand by it. being forced to say a genocide is not a genocide. so so many things wrong with this

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I think the relevant caselaw here is shaping up to be Rylands & Fletcher. If you collect up any inherently risky material or item on your property and it then escapes and causes damage, it creates strict liability. ie, you do not have to prove liability, you go straight to quantum of compensation.
