In an age of darkness, Mamdani's campaign offers hope.
The socialist left has now triumphed in New York. In New York!!!

Ireland elects an independent, socialist woman to the position of president.
Irish Media: ‘Today, we ask what went wrong with the system, what her opponents have to say about it, and how it can be fixed for next time.’

If Jim Gavin gets 12.5% or more, Fianna Fáil gets €250,000 in expenses refunded. Bear that in mind if you're voting for Jim Gavin as a joke.

As we await a verdict in the trial of Soldier F, another reminder that in 2010 the Bloody Sunday inquiry found
- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns
- no warnings were given
- no soldiers were under threat
- the troops were the first to open fire
- the killings were unjustified
- none of the 14 dead (7 of whom were children) had guns

Norway fishes 40,000 to tonnes of mackerel in one week. This is equivalent to Ireland's annual quota! Surely this ravaging of fish stocks can't be allowed to continue.
