The risk of crises such as the 2023 Dublin riots “will diminish if officials cultivate relationships with faith-based communities”.

Policymakers failing to tap into religious groups for migrant integration, says report

Nearly 50 faith-based communities in north-east inner city play unique role as ‘mediators of integration’ in addressing needs ‘often unmet’ by Government

There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we @dublininquirer.com looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful – so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/

Reliance on Chinese students and Chinese campus for university income creates strategic vulnerabilities which Chinese State is wiling to use to suppress academic freedom.

Who’d have thought it?!

Shocking. Not

My colleagues and I have launched a report looking at the religious diversity in Dublin's north-east inner-city, demonstrating beyond doubt that these communities are integral to the life of the city. It really presses DCC to stop overlooking religious practice

Hundreds of people would love to
work for you in the Dail. Would you hire somebody who was caught with a gun used to commit a murder perhaps planning to kill somebody, who never expressed remorse for this. CC is not the best of us.

Would you pretend to have a monopoly on virtue opposing repossessions as a councillor whilst facilitating these in you day job? CC is not the best of us.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Bryan Fanning @bryanfanning.bsky.social · Sep 12

The gridlock in supply is not going to be solved by immigration. If medium income people already here cannot compete with newcomers working in tech etc for whom new expensive apartments are being built, hard to see upside.

Bryan Fanning @bryanfanning.bsky.social · Sep 12

How? Existing supply rising slower than increase on population in need of housing; currently a slow down of new properties at a time of high immigration?

Bryan Fanning @bryanfanning.bsky.social · Sep 12

I wish it was as you say but high levels of immigration in recent years, in the absence of corresponding rise in the availability of housing, especially affordable housing for rent, is imposing a social cost on society, particularly in Dublin.

BIG BIG news for us - this is a former hardware shop ( O'Doherty's in Patricxk Street, Templemore town Tipperary. The new home of our much larger warehouse for @thebookshopie.bsky.social , AND.. a used bookshop in the two story part - called 'The Book Temple' ( see what we did there? #templemore

The exterior of our new and future warehouse home - on Patrick Street, Templemore, Tipperary Ireland - the former O'Doherty's Hardware. The new bookshop is in the part on the right ( under Builder's Providers' ) as it was.

Interior of the shop looking out to Patrick Street. The building is long so this makes it look narrower than it is , with bookshelves on both sides and the inside of the front door on the left
