This is what real anti-social behaviour looks like

Never posting normal after posting anti-trans stuff continues to be law

Honestly pathetic. Even when our own citizens are under threat, even when Irish troops are in the "crossfire" (lucky they weren't hit); he cannot muster the spine to call out Israel and the US.

Some view! Thanks for the reminder about the match

By whom? What country is attacking Lebanon? Why is this omitted?

Yeah, I don't use it for gaming or streaming. We have fibre for that. I've never pushed it to the limits 🤷‍♂️ sorry I can't be of more help

I'm sure it's throttled at times but I've been able to run YouTube in Full HD or 1440p and hotspot my laptop with no issues.

Nope! €20 a month for 5G all you can eat

It's doubly insulting when the Minister for Housing comes out with stuff like this when dozens of people in Galway have been served eviction notices coinciding with these new rules and regulations.

They were warned and did not care to act.

Proud of my constituency TD who can't admit outright that launching an unprovoked attack on a country thousands of miles away, under the false pretence of regime change and preventing the accumulation of nuclear arms, is illegal.

transphobia is comorbid with being a fucking cunt in every other aspect of your life

Wouldn't they have led with that in the headline or byline if that was the case? Unreal!

You know who does have nuclear weapons in the middle east? Israel.

Meaningless statement when we will still aid and abet the US military through our airports and airspace.

I know of at least 5 people in Galway who have been served evictions notices coinciding with this legislation.

Renters are about to be taken for everything they have - the largest landlord body in the country has already confirmed as much!

Hoping that momentum can grow to ensure this pathetic match doesn't go ahead.

Work needs to be done to ensure an enormous protest occurs if it does.

Shame on any player who attends this.
Shame on any fan who spectates it.
Shame on the FAI for going ahead with it.
Shame on UEFA for being corrupt, genocide-excusing scumbags.
Shame on Ireland for continuing to tolerate this government's open corruption.

Oh I'm not pretending they are. They continue to prove that they are a populist movement at best.

With that said, they are the only party with a reasonable presence whom I feel will listen to any complaint or issue I have in my area - dominated by FF and FG.

Why are a Sinn Féin TD and my local councillor attending this bananas protest?

There is nothing legitimately founded in this opposition - it is all nimbyism and fear-mongering.

Between renewable and non-renewable resources, I know what I'd like to have beside my community.

Without energy companies being nationalised, the public loses out covering dividends for shareholders, cannot dictate the reinvestments of any surplus, and are at the whims of pricing of that company.

Without nationalisation, consumers will continue to lose out on those significant benefits.

I'm delighted with this development and will literally use it as a case-study when discussing viable options for renewable energy storage and delivery, thanks.

I can also simultaneously recognise that without public ownership, major benefits of these developments are kept from the public.

22.02.2026 14:46 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Not unless it's publicly owned will the benefits be genuinely experienced by consumers.

first they came for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and I said nothing, but i did laugh quite a lot

Looking at the planning permission and none of it is on bog or peatland.

This is a solar farm...

20.02.2026 14:41 👍 15 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Are they valid though?
Do solar farms around the country experience the issues they mentioned regularly?
Is the land use inappropriate?
What else could the land be used for to best benefit the community?
How do they propose meeting our renewable energy targets without vital infrastructure?

20.02.2026 13:49 👍 15 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0

Difficult to know what to say to people who oppose every form of renewable infrastructure.

It's also hilarious to think that the engineers who develop these farms don't consider these issues and problems, and implement strategies/technology to avoid them.

Solar farms > LNG

And what about cooking? Cooking facilities? Storage? Transport?

Street party protest outside the Poxton hotel has closed down the street as hundreds turn up to protest the hotels complaint against Yamamori Izakaya :)
