Keep forgetting that private car traffic is supposed to be banned East/West across O'Connell Bridge at certain times

High Court quashes Visa refusal decision. Minister must reconsider the application.

This isn't hyperbole or a joke. Parents actually called the cops and got the black boy and his family removed and the league claimed they were trespassing because he was "putting on a show" and wasn't playing "fair."

Oh.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Obviously this is a subject close to the journalist's heart as he's written about four other articles this year all on the theme of "the misunderstood Orange Order". And while I can see merit in the articles, you probably will have to interview someone else at some stage

Thinking of that time the Garda allowed "protestors" to board a bus so they could check if there were asylum seekers on it and their ethnicity.

BBC editing out pride flags and protect the dolls while insisting on poppies really really laying bare its a state propaganda mouthpiece innit

Not quite sure why the Late Late Show is praising Ed Sheeran supports acts who left. Is this not the same show who did a fundraiser for Ukraine but took Palestine badges away from guests?

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

As an aside I see another driver has crashed into a level crossing today.

"Demeaning to grandparents" is so right wing coded but won't be reported like that. Jim O'Callaghan is a centre politician!

Oh I'm sure things go missing in the Dept of Justice all the time. Sometimes even by accident

"It showed that the average waiting time in emergency departments for patients between January and July was 9.3 hours." - maybe that has something to do with it

There were a number of reports recently about conditions in Irish prisons which received little political commentary. A bill about non binary people? The usual lot suddenly think prisoner safety is paramount because of one Trans person that was in prison.

It's worth reading the article, and the fact that a civil servant swore on affidavit that something didn't happen when in fact it did happen

Damn. Couldn't even guess at the number of hours I spent playing most of their games.

Might it be quicker if we gave a short list of places where it is appropriate to protest and make statements? Because it appears to be quite literally nowhere.

It's pretty common knowledge that the Government doesn't want cheaper housing right? They want to their core voter base to get a house which isn't the same. Which is why we've got about three different "first time buyers" schemes going which will constantly need to be funded.

Cities shouldn't be for people living in them, they should be for our customers adding extra traffic to O'Connell St North to get to our car park for instance.

This is the type of "mature debate" that he loves to trot out.

The O bus route in Dublin would actually help a lot with public transport but it seems to be eternally delayed.

Tbh, Finglas Luas will provide much better benefits to people in Finglas than the "Finglas Bus Corridor to City Centre" which stops at Hart's Corner. I do wonder if some of these corridors should become Luas routes at this stage. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

A man capable of weaponizing cases like this is a man capable of anything. We've already seen this by how he treats asylum seekers to build a profile (to a lesser extent of course)

Tbh, when I went house buying it was really frustrating realizing you were competing with approved housing bodies. One woman loudly declared in the middle of a viewing who she was with. But I'm not quite sure what they expect local councils to do. There's a lot of overlap between them and the LDA

Look, I hate dickheads playing music on trains as much as anyone, but this is completely unenforceable. Meanwhile we're into the 4th week of gangs of fascists attacking houses in Salford and Burnham hasn't even mentioned it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Ha. Even John Boyne just went "video games, haha, who even knows about them, especially this Legend of Zelda thing" rather than blame someone else.

I think the really important thing to remember is that they don't believe this, and they don't expect you to believe it either. This is just a crude expression of power - look what we can get away with. Look what we can say. You can't stop us. Fuck you.

Probably Eircom for 6 months. Thanks for calling Eircom. Calls cost 50c a minute. Also one of the depressing things I've experienced when a man rang, convinced there was something wrong with his email, cos his daughter who emigrated promised to email a picture of her newborn to him over Christmas

Was throwing a senior civil servant under the bus a wise thing to do? No But did it demonstrate a ruthless political shrewdness and save the political career of Keir Starmer? Also no

James Lawless says unis have to come together and submit their visa requests for Palestinian students in one go, to be "consistent". He says it's not to make Jim O'Callaghan happy, even though that's never been a submission requirement before. These people are moral vaccums. #IrishPol

The whole Arday scandal and the reaction to it makes perfect sense when you assume that, for those responsible, the death of a young black person of some modest prominence and influence was a good outcome, they're glad it happened, and would like to do it again.

no offence but why is the British public being asked about my medical diagnosis, would it also like to check out my ankles and my elbows to decide whether I really have hypermobile joints, should I cough on them next time I have a cold so they can confirm that I'm ill

I actually think the use of the word “finally” is so telling as to the role our heavily right-wing media plays in our politics. Sources like The Telegraph have been pushing successive governments for trans-exclusionary policy for years. They’ve got what they wanted. This is now their victory lap.

Fianna Fáil are pumping out social media about posts and it's all so blatant it's just tech bros copy and paste. It will do away with the boring admin work (but they never mention the people doing the work)

TERF now a slur somewhere between cis and batty boy, for those keeping up at home.

Genuinely kind of astonishing to me that we have to pretend these are real concerns and not problems they've imagined themselves into

Fascinating stuff. The NTA also fines operators for cancelled buses and others but the poor people waiting ages for the next bus to show up, don't get any compensation.

A unreported fact is that the main Garda account occasionally posts about how to be cyber secure.

And need to get public transport to wherever they go.
