On his last day as President, I can honestly say I will miss Michael D Higgins in the Aras so much. He has been a magnificent Head of State for us and I think Robinson is the only one who was at his level, certainly in my lifetime. Go raibh maith agat, a Uachtaráin.

As an Irish person who was alive in 2008 I can confirm that private businesses only ask sovereign governments to guarantee their financing when business is going really, really well
BREAKING: OpenAI is requesting US government support to help guarantee financing for the massive investments in AI chips and data centers it needs for expansion, per Bloomberg.

It's difficult to know which part of this is stupidest, the fact that he clearly doesn't know what a dogwhistle is, or "stating a fact, in my view"
Tánaiste Simon Harris has said it was a “dog whistle” for those in the Social Democrats to compare him to Nigel Farage.
He said other political parties are calling him names 'for stating a fact, in my view, that migration has risen at too high a rate'. jrnl.ie/6866587
