Brian Kerr is a decent man who lives & breathes Irish football. He is right about this and has also provided evidence to back up why #UEFA should have acted already.
The FAI need to stand up for the people of Palestine. 🇵🇸

It was inevitable that allowing racists & far right groups to hang Irish flags all over #Limerick (and then wave it away as match day enthusiasm) would embolden them and lead to something like this.
Shame on FF/FG.

I think there is a lot of merit in moving towards this model. Outside Dublin I expect incentives to attract bids for rural areas would be needed. Perhaps offer 'lots' each containing an urban & rural component with multiple 'lots' on offer depending on the area.

If enacted, the Bill would see a total overhaul of how household bins are collected in Dublin and would move away from the current system whereby multiple private companies compete for business.

A driver shouted at me yesterday something about not seeing me on the pedestrian crossing because I was behind a bus when I was actually literally in front of the bus because the bus let me pass so no I don't think making people wear a hi-vis would do much

Faced with an epidemic of drivers missing the green light because they are looking at their phones, the government plans to install 130dB naval-grade foghorns on all traffic lights.

And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling.
This will kill bike share schemes around the country. @bleeperactive.bsky.social

An extraordinary document.
BREAKING: Federal judge orders Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son, L.C.R., released.
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
"The Great Writ and release from detention are GRANTED."
"Civics lesson to the government: Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster."
![Ultimately, Petitioners may, because of the arcane United States immigration system, return to
their home country, involuntarily or by self-deportation. But that result should occur through a more
orderly and humane policy than currently in place.
Philadelphia, September 17, 1787: "Well, Dr. Franklin, what do we have?" "A republic, if you
can keep it."
With a judicial finger in the constitutional dike,
It is so ORDERED.

This is incredible work so it is.
On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.'
Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

The Venn diagram of people who think more roads can solve traffic and people who think that more concrete can solve flooding is a perfect circle.

I moved back in with my parents in mid-2001. One box from that move went in the attic and remained unopened until tonight.
Among the general shíte was this frankly freaky item. I have no idea what it is and I'm not entirely comfortable going to sleep with it in my house.

The reason why cyclists and pedestrians push back against these types of campaigns is not because we think visibility is bad (I wear hig-viz!), but because it's victim blaming that diverts attention from the real issues: dangerous drivers and poor infrastructure
