A state construction company would be a no-brainer really. Organised home construction with a skilled workforce, a defined route for apprentices and secure work. The ESB made €355 MILLION profits in the first six months of the year, that's obscene while people are under pressure with sky high bills.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic, known as manikomycin, that may be a bulwark in the fight against drug-resistant superbugs. By attacking the ribosome in a never-before-seen way, manikomycin can evade the existing mechanisms pathogens have developed to resist antibiotics.

Daniel Holder of CAJ has the fact nobody else had. A 5,000 person counter protest was notified on Saturday, and stood down when the court stopped the parade. The Court of Appeal reinstated it in the early hours, leaving no route to re-notify. His word for it: a mess.

Instead of increasing public transport fares, public transport should be made free, and the cost should be added to fuel taxes. And then drivers get the benefit of reduced traffic because people take public transport.

They restricted these surveys in multiple states in the last few years. States moved to require opt in with parental consent to administer the surveys. Then the CDC stopped reporting data about gender identity in 2025. Given the broader anti LGBTQ hostility it's not a surprise numbers declined.
