"I put a real a microscope over these orgs," he could start with a real a grammar and spellchecker. Maybe. Also, he could try reading the Irish Constitution.
Ireland as your President, I summon instantly the Minister for Finance. To discuss, learn, and implement the necessary cuts to any and all non serving public interest organisations that do not actually serve the interests of the greater public of Ireland at all. What they…

Technically speaking, Mary Robinson could nominate herself to run again. #aras25 just saying, like.
One of his causes for being politically involved was the challenge of buying a house. He could have bought one without a mortgage for that.
Update : Eoin Hayes 7,000 shares in Palantir are now worth €900k. He sold for €199k and they kicked him out of the party anyway for not being pure enough. #pltr
Vindication? Charges weren't brought, possibly because the person who may have been a minor, i think, making the accusation, wasn't prepared to go through with the court process.
Dublin Airport manager refused permission to demolish parking ramps beside Terminal 1. Dear God, unused brutalism must be preserved because if we've made building mistakes, we can't undo them decades later. irishtimes.com/business/2025/…
I think the bigger story here is that the Happy Pear of are not producing their own ready meals. While they are certainly giving the impression they are. That won't go down well with the food fascists.

Coffee Shop owner in Limerick calls out other coffee shops who declare bankruptcy, leaving suppliers and employees owed money, and then go off and start up another business. And now the @RAI_ie is getting a taxpayer bailout. Will the RAI pass on the VAT cut? Will they fuck.

Here's a tidy solution to the conundrum of a Dublin city hotel tax. Make it €5 per night for under €199 but once it's €200 make it 10%. Or do it on average price for the hotel, cheaper prices get the lower set tax, price gouging gets a % tax.
I wonder do we get an inversion of the usual joke about someone who dies and tells God that he's in their chair? Rock on, Prince of Darkness.
From AP’s archives: Ozzy Osbourne said music changed his life, crediting The Beatles for inspiring him early on. The Black Sabbath frontman and godfather of heavy metal died at age 76, just weeks after his farewell show.
