What's a good town for a weekend?
Nice pubs but not a party scene, walkable and pretty? Dingle fits the bill but it's very far. Kilkenny and Middleton are out because reasons.

The gender pay gap in Ireland stands at 11.4% now, according to the data I've gathered on PayGap.ie. But that's not the whole story, because the highest gap in the 2025 data so far is 69%.
Women earn less and have fewer opportunities for progression and the motherhood penalty is a huge part of it.

A lot of the discussion in the media around the SocDem conference and their record polling seems to be an attempt at grooming them to be the next mudguard for FF&FG, it would be really nice if the SocDems and other Left parties ruled it out & committed to a Left coalition.... #SpéirGhorm

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

This is how I have felt for years about 'debate'. Or, certainly how we use that word now. Whether is it on radio, television or social media, the idea of debate being important is so ingrained in us now. But is is all utter, utter bullshit.
Blindboy referred to how we’ve all been conditioned to argue online as ‘turn-based combat’ & I can’t get it out of my head. That’s exactly what it is. A pointless gamified system that no one ever really wins, designed to keep us all busy fighting each other rather than the actual enemy

So the government are claiming Met Eireann didn't do enough to warn us about weather impacts a few days out?
If that's the case, I'd love to see how they've responded to the warnings climate scientists have been raising for decades. #spéirgorm
