People who have taken part in war crimes and crimes against humanity should be prosecuted. They won't be because our government are gutless, but they should.
The Ditch can reveal that 75 Irish citizens have served in the Israel Defense Forces during its genocide in Gaza.

Opposition asked government about Irish nationals serving with Israeli forces – while they committed war crimes – two years ago.

NEW: A planned €100m critical care unit for the Rotunda Hospital has been denied permission by An Coimisiún Pleanála due to a small number of objections.

A senior source told The Journal the decision by the commission is a "kick in the teeth".

Not much point being a sovereign state if our ministers are so cowed by the US and Israel that they set aside our law.

Read the litany of horrible injuries and psycological trauma that have marred an entire family and cost them their livelihoods. All dismissed as "careless driving" a catch-all offence designed to to give impunity.
"A cyclist…driven over twice by a woman taking an illegal right-hand turn…“still tortured by the sound of my breaking bones”"

Govt take note:
He had hi-vis & a helmet
Weather & road conditions were good

This is horrific.

The line where it says he was wearing hi-vis and a helmet would be comical in the context of the rest of article if it wasn’t so serious.
It's noted that he was wearing high-vis even though the driver was making an illegal turn and even with high-vis and all it's only counted as careless driving and not dangerous driving: www.thejournal.ie/courts-cycli...

I'd like to see how this thermodynamics understanding challenged individual thrives in a room full of CO2.
Burgum: "CO2 was never a pollutant. When we breathe, we emit CO2. Plants need CO2 to survive and grow. They thrive with more CO2. So the whole endangerment thing opens up an opportunity for the revival of clean, beautiful, American coal."

Ivan Yates is back: He wants to tell us about "the most important thing"

Is "the most important thing" treating kids with scoliosis? Perhaps respite for carers? Maybe it's ending two-tier healthcare. Or kid's mental health & SEN provision? Might it even be opposing genocide?

This confirmed by the Taoiseach in the Dáil just now – a significant backtrack by the Government in the midst of an acute housing shortage, now allowing more properties to stay in use for short-term lettings without needing to register/amend their property designation as 'commercial'

The Court noticed the inaccurate documents submitted by ICE, the fact that he has no criminal record and had paid his release bond, but ultimately sided with the government and keeps him detained. This isn’t a Trump problem - he’s a symptom of the disease, that place is systemically putrid.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
