Puppy farms, sulky racing, fox hunting and hare coursing: Ireland has a major animal cruelty crisis
While the public demands change, Ireland’s weak laws, poor enforcement and Government inaction are allowing puppy farms, blood sports and racing abuses to flourish, writes Jennifer Whitmore.

A hard 40 years. This is men stealing women's liberty and sense of safety, peace and sense of home. Its a terrible trauma to live. I hope she can live peacefully now 🩷
Another day, another man pouring boiling water on his wife & trying to hammer her to death. These are never sudden attacks - victim notes she walked on eggshells for 40 years. #IntimatePartnerViolence

Great piece by Ciaran Brennan in today's Irish Examiner on the true costs of EU #deregulation, particularly for the environment. These attacks are part of a clear, coordinated agenda by right-wing forces across the globe, including the Irish government.

Welcome to Irish Government policy
Yes successive governments led by Fine Gael & Fianna Fáil, many with landlord TDs & landlord ministers created the homeless crisis
It doesn't have to be this way

Charity not rights #speirgorm Irelands motto
It is utterly astonishing how many charities in Ireland are expected to fill the gaps in public provision.
From schools relying on parents’ “voluntary contributions” to health services relying on any number of charities. It’s bonkers.

The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

"Now we have our answer. The government is moving SNAs around from mainstream classes to special classes."
This is a model of exclusion instead of inclusion.
Parents, children, teachers, SNAs are being failed by this government.

To be fair, the government made no secret of it being intensely comfortable with economically motivated JRs from developers.
For example the likes of daa plc, cairn and Glenveagh are serial litigants but never once criticised

Leaving aside the broader story very funny to see the government, which has been blaming judicial reviews for every ill in the country, suddenly decide JRs should be supported when they align with what they want

Nothing sums up what’s wrong with our property system more than landscapes pockmarked with decay across #DerelictIreland. What many see as failure, Trinity’s Cian O’Callaghan shows can function as strategy.
In Displace: The Battle For Dublin, Trinity’s Cian O’Callaghan unpacks urban vacancy not as passive emptiness but as a strategic and contested component of property markets. A material force that shapes who gets space, who gets priced out, and how cities are remade in crisis and boom alike.
