Here are the Irish MEPs who just sided with the far-right (fascists, racists, sexists, homophobes, climate deniers) from across the EU
They've voted to gut protections that would have made businesses check and report their supply chains for child labour, human rights abuse or nature destruction

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

Something being missed a bit in the coverage of Ryanair's shift to "100% digital" boarding (which it's not) is that they are actually limiting other digital formats and favouring only their app for access to passes, which isn't a neutral utility but a data collecting e-commerce machine.

A reminder, if needed, that the ‘Regional Public Policy & Government Relations Lead’ of Airbnb is a former Labour (!) TD who represented Gaeltacht communities in Galway West.
There's no quicker way to kill a community than to drive out the young people. That's exactly what short term rentals do to places like the Gaeltacht. If young people have nowhere to rent locally they leave.
It's a problem for any small community that's attractive to tourists.
