There's been a great deal of debate about how safe Dublin city centre is, but when we @dublininquirer.com looked for data to resolve this, we couldn't find much useful – so we commissioned a survey to try to add some facts/data to the debate. Today we've published five articles about the results. 1/

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

you’d think that’d be worth like… at least a seventh arrest
Some of the projectiles thrown at Gardaí last night.
Rioters threw bricks, ripped from walls at a local estate, as well as fireworks, glass bottles and more at Gardaí.

Some good news.
London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.
The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

To oppose trans people's rights and freedoms you break so many social contracts. We keep saying that trans rights are human rights, but conversely, human rights are trans rights, because the second you decide some people don't deserve the same rights and freedoms as others? You start to lose it all.

Royal Canal Greenway opens fully in central Dublin linking 40km of off-road cycle routes
The central section of the Royal Canal Greenway in Dublin City is now fully opened after two and a half years of construction to make the route accessible for pedestrians and people cycling. The project included installing new, more gentle ramps, which are more accessible, and new shared crossings at the canal at the Phibsborough Road, Dorset Street/Drumcondra Road, Russell Street/Jones' Road, Summerhill Parade/Ballybough Road, and then finishing at the existing crossing on North Strand Road.

There really is no discernable difference between a racist and someone pretending to be a racist, regardless of the reason. Actions speak louder than personal beliefs.
