Israeli occupation forces have shot dead two unarmed men who had surrendered to them in the West Bank in Palestine.
The Palestinian Authority called it a "brutal" field execution.

You can't actually cap migration into Ireland without:
1. Dismantling the Common Travel Area
2. Leaving the EU
3. Placing a hard border between the Republic and the North
This "population growth" argument the self-declared sensible people have come up with is in reality really extreme

Really disappointed with Lidl Ireland. They've stopped allowing exchange of points for vouchers till the new year, so no getting any Christmas stuff with your points. I'm sure I'm not the only one that saved them up for Christmas, lots will be more in need of them than I am. Really mean spirited.

However far into the cesspit the UK government goes, we'll be right behind them. Inspiring stuff.

Every journalist doing any interview on the housing crisis with a member of the Oireachtas, especially ones from the government parties, needs to check in advance if that person is a landlord and take them to task on it. Anything else isn't journalism.

Maybe I'm a big dumb dingus but I've never understood why, even for purely selfish reasons, none of these mega-billionaires spend the gigantic sums of money they spaff on space shit or AI on world hunger. Surely, even for an amoral cunt, being the guy who did that would trump building some rockets.

79% of homes sold in Dublin this year were bought by landlords, 75% by large landlords. About 1 in 5 TDs are landlords.
This is disgusting dog whistling. The problem has never been people seeking asylum. The problem is people seeking to endlessly profit from folks just looking for a home.

1) Over €100m of overpayments *was* recovered
2) 75% of the unrecoverable payments were to people who are now dead
3) the vast, vast majority of such payments are down to errors by the Dept, not fraud by the dead.

€15 million in unrecovered welfare payments. Wow, that really sounds like a LOT!
But. Take the total spent on social welfare to be roughly €25 billion annually - it's a bit higher.
That's 0.06% unrecovered. Or about 6c in every €1000. Or to put it another way, negligible.
