Good news. There was no need for government to let things drift like this. Could have done this at the start of the year. #SpeirGorm RTÉ News: Unions suspend next week's planned strike action www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Shout out to all the public sector workers on strike today. The more visible we are, the stronger our hand in ensuring fair, equitable pay and security for all.
Looking forward to seeing my fellow IFUT members today on the quad for a one hour work stoppage in pursuit of a credible pay proposition from government. www.ifut.ie/content/ifut...

To translate: Whether it is wrong or not depends on who you are talking about, not what they did.
Q: Do you have any reaction to a US ambassador asking someone to pay off debt in exchange for access to other government officials? VANCE: Well, so -- with that hypothetical, obviously I don't love that, but I, you know, I don't know exactly who you're talking about, I don't know the full details

Listen: I don’t want to minimize the danger of high e-bike speeds. But if the problem here is that stores sell e-bikes that can drive faster than legal limits, then where’s the story about how literally *every car dealership has been doing the same thing for decades*?!?
This is barbaric. Even when it is carried out correctly. If the death penalty is a deterrent what would the counter factual murder rate be?
Tennessee officials were unable to put Christa Gail Pike to death Wednesday for a 1995 murder after administering two doses of a lethal drug. Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee halted the remaining execution for the year. trib.al/vq2ElQr

Patrick O' Donovan doesn't want to drag politics into sport. But
As someone who just received a lifetime ban from a local football stadium for holding a "StopTheGame" banner, I wish everyone who attended this and is of the "don't drag sports into politics" mentality, a massive go fuck yourself in the face.

The argument that Ireland played countries such as Yugoslavia under Milosevic and Russia under Putin implicitly puts Israel - a supposed democratic lawful country - into the same category as them. It’s not quite the gotcha you’d think. #StoptheGame #SpeirGorm
A hard unfollow for this. Whatever you think about the right thing to do, the idea that Irish people upset about the game because they are outraged by what's happening in Gaza are supposed to consult some sort of whataboutery on previous games with Russia/China/Yugoslavia is frankly ridiculous.
In which David McWilliams equates your value to your contribution to GDP. Apparently if you are in a caring role you are not a net contributor to the Irish economy. I thought economics had moved on but apparently not. #SpeirGorm

Proud of the Taoiseach’s speech at the UN GA. It is a pity his government has been so brutal and callous to Gazan scholarship students who wanted to study in Ireland #SpeirGorm RTÉ News: When true Gaza horror revealed 'it will shame the world' www.rte.ie/news/2026/09...

When universities ask their staff to do more with less, is it really a test of individual fortitude? Rachelle McKay explains why we should stop praising endurance: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/campus/its-time-stop-celebrating-resilience #Highered #Academicsky
Huge if true! It would mean the UK govt has read a newspaper and watched TV.
C4 Dispatches tonight exposes what UK govt knows about Israel's crimes Among other things, the Dispatches trailer suggests that the show has evidence of the Foreign Office's explicit knowledge of Israel's genocide www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20...
