Patrick O’Donovan went out on the national airwaves with a half-baked, bad set of ideas about linking access to online spaces to our PPS numbers.
If he had these ideas himself, it would be a Christmas miracle.
But in fact, they are the Zuckerberg lobbying aim across the world.

We need to talk about HOLIDAY HOMES
If you already own a home, should you be allowed to buy a spare one?
The Dutch don't think so
New laws require buyers to obtain permits to buy a 2nd home, while existing owners will be given 1 year amnesty

Damn right.
And if the AMOC *is* disrupted as climate science predicts is likely, and millions of Irish are driven to become refugees, there'll be nothing anomalous about that with regard to the rest of our history up to a couple of decades ago.

An Amoc shutdown later this century could see millions of Irish people become #climate migrants; this is something our politicians talking tough on cracking down on migration to Ireland should keep in mind, as I discuss in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social

John Gibbons: A big freeze could turn the Irish into climate refugees
We should reflect on 'get-tough' proposals on immigration: If the Amoc currents that moderate Ireland’s climate fail, temperatures will plunge, making grass-based agriculture impossible

Simon Harris truly has less intellectual curiosity than your average woodlouse. He's in the paper saying that he wants an informed debate on migration, and then immediately shows that he hasn't bothered to learn the first thing about it. The first image is his remarks, the second is the actual law.
