There's a parallel universe not too far from here where Seán Gallagher is leaving the Áras after 14 glorious years of saying "business" a lot, sharing inspirational quotes on the Áras an Uachtaráin LinkedIn page every day, and promising to learn Irish during his retirement.

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/

Good to put numbers against some of the crazier narratives about lawlessness in Dublin City Centre. And remember, if you see a group of teenage boys idling in public or a man in trackies smoking outside a pub, you have not in fact been the victim of a crime.
A new survey offers insights into levels of crime in Dublin city centre. The City Centre Crime Victim Survey was commissioned by Dublin Inquirer and carried out by Amarách Research.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

Since the far right race riot where immigrant families were threatened, Garda were attacked, and a Garda van was set on fire, have you heard our senior politicians talk more about the rioters, or immigration?

I caught the middle of this while visiting my parents and assumed it was some 8 part mini series and that's why nothing seemed to be happening.
Watching A House of Dynamite. I'm sorry, if Bigelow wanted to do something good and factually accurate, she should've done a straight adaptation of Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War: A Scenario (2024). Not this. I have no idea what this is and I'm 20 minutes into it.

Think one of the key things why adverts are such a thing with them is that people in ads are usually enjoying themselves and having a nice life; seeing non-white people be happy is something that drives your typical racist absolutely mad
Something I can't get over with the Sarah Pochin comments is that it's not just racist, it's also pathetic? Like oh wittle Sarah doesn't like the wittle adverts is it? Get a grip, you're a grown woman and member of parliament, stop being a snowflake and find a real problem to deal with

My MP here in Glasgow has taken zero interest in community events with Roma, LGBTQIA+ folks, the Mosque etc.
He just posted asking us to donate money to the local Orange Order after they lost their drums in a fire. I dread to think what public funds they'll get too.

Don’t flake on voting just because the result is in the bag! Margin matters. Remember how awful it felt seeing Peter Casey jump from 2% polls to 23% after his attacks on travellers. A low turnout/high number of spoiled votes will be seized on by the fash. Every vote for Connolly undermines them

Its the Suck Up, Punch Down worldview of FG, fawning deference is the only acceptable position when allowed play with the big boys.
This "Connolly will upset the EU" stuff is also ridiculous btw. The EU can deal with Meloni, Orban, Fico etc etc on a day to day basis. The idea that a figurehead's words might somehow meaningfully damage Ireland's standing is genuinely deluded.
