It's a gouger's world, and we're merely existing in it.

It may not be this simple, but if it's in a rent pressure zone it should require planning permission, so if you check a property address on the planning register, and there's no PP for it, then it may be grounds for a formal planning complaint.

Bathroom balconies? Now that's living.

I see that refugees from war-torn countries are getting very favourable coverage in the Irish news media today.

Like they're real human beings, with lives and hopes and backstories.

Next week it'll be back to quoting Big Jim while announces deportation "numbers."

Self-Awareness Level:

"Here's your eviction notice, I may or may not make you homeless very soon, and let me tell you why things are really unfair for me right now..."

Yeah it's everywhere around here, for every single event. Paddy's Day Parades, Christmas events, charity collections, tidy towns - practically every voluntary group has gone all-in on the AI slop. 🤢

I'm begging the small local community groups in Ireland to please consider reframing their use of AI design work this way. The amount of drama and theatre groups in my sphere that I see using AI posters now just makes me sad.

He's a white christian fundamentalist. Has a big crusades tattoo across his chest. The christian equivalent of "islamic extremist" or "radical cleric" but heavens forbid the media would use those terms about non-muslims.

Sun Tzu:

"Never willingly offer the neighbouring parish a headline to pin on the dressing room wall."

Mayo continuing its streak of having more people winning the Lotto than women getting elected to public office.

A screengrab from the Irish Independent newspaper showing a photo of Patrick O'Donovan and Micheál Martin in front of a large FAI logo. The headline reads, Flares controversy: FAI agrees to CCTV and sniffer dogs at stadiums after minister's funding threat.

Trying not to be too cynical, but in the wake of the Ireland v Israel draw, this government really didn't waste any time in trying to put the FAI - and its upstart clubs - back in its box.

Imagine such a swift government response to, say, a genocide?

Subsidising.

We're *subsidising* data centres with sky-high residential energy charges.

We have a decent gloop of frog spawn in our little pond 🐸

You forgot the tiny little pause just before the final comment, where the brain glitches slightly while scrambling to find another subject to discuss. The eyeballs twitch a little.

I can't envision housing bodies or local authorities combined accounting for more than a quarter of the purchases TBH.

Only small fraction of new homes in cities ending up on the open market for sale The gap between what’s built and what’s sold is most dramatic in Dublin and Cork.

Only 4% of newly-built homes in Dublin last year ended up on the open market for sale.

This is bonkers. The market is completely rigged in favour of "investors" (hoarders).

Tis narrow but heavy here in West Mayo.

The 'W' in OPW stands for "What have they done this time?"

Hey I wonder if all this stress-testing and depleting of US military resources in places that aren't Ukraine is beneficial to anyone in particular?

I wonder when that was tacked on? Given the recent windfarm ruling...

Head 12 Exemption from the Act of 2015 Provide that: Any function or exercise undertaken under this Act shall be exempt from the provisions of section 15 of the Act of 2015. Explanatory Note This Head provides that the provisions of section 15 of the Climate Action and Low Carbon Development Act 2015 do not apply to any functions or exercises undertaken under this Bill.

An appalling proposal is hidden at the end of the Government’s Bill on the airport cap; it would exclude decisions under the legislation from the current obligation on almost all public bodies to consider their climate impact and to be consistent with climate objectives.

People who send voicenotes in to radio stations.

They're going on my list.

Love that an English hotel chain sets up in Dublin and five minutes later is going to the courts to try and shut down a long-running staple of our nightlife.

Hoxton? More like Poxton, amirite?

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“.

I think they know and still don't care: Look at M*sk and all his offspring from different mothers - the rich are playing the numbers game.
