My carefully considered, nuanced and balanced policy view is that we should tax gambling profits, including sports betting, at like 98% and one executive's kidney per quarter.

I'm not sure having every UK mainstreet be three quarters Ladbrokes is good, actually.

Apple is anti-union.

Tesla is anti-union.

Amazon is anti-union.

McDonald's is anti-union.

Starbucks is anti-union.

Google is anti-union.

Walmart is anti-union.

These mega-corporations aren’t on workers’ side and their actions make it painfully clear.

There are approximately

130,000 adults with problem gambling in Ireland

according to ESRI estimates. That's about 1-in-30 adults, 10 time the number addicted to drugs.

9 out of every 10 have never sought treatment.

In Tesco’s this afternoon: an elderly Polish man at the self-checkout, trying to buy a pint of milk and a white radish. There is no picture for the radish on the machine. The assistant doesn’t know what it is. She asks a colleague: “It’s a white radish.” There is no entry for it on the machine.

Here's a little reminder of our starter pack, celebrating #IrishDesign.

Lots of lovely things to buy, and you will feel all squishy inside for supporting small Irish business.

Reckless urban planning—urban sprawl, poor public transport, land hoarding, and out-of-town shopping complexes—has damaged Waterford City. The River Suir is one of the city's main assets, yet vacant sites (red) and surface car parking (blue) line its banks.
