Give me an e-book or audiobook with the following, and I'm yours forever:

People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if he accidentally made "dereliction of duty" a criminal offence. He, and housing ministers and finance ministers and Taoisigh going back 30 years would all be up on charges!
Correct. So what is he waiting for? Could someone please remind this man that he is, in fact, the Minister?

I would bet that the venn diagram of those (still alive) who criticised Mary Robinson for leaving the Áras early to take up the senior UN role and those who will praise Paschal for this is a circle.

Those 1,000 welcomes we're so famous for are reserved for MAGA yanks with deep pockets, not people in need.
Justice and Migration Minister Jim O'Callaghan said he's committed to ensuring Ireland is 'not viewed more favourably than the UK by those seeking to claim asylum'.
His statement comes following proposed reforms to the UK's asylum practices

The spin doctors are working hard. Harris's original comments were about *immigration*. He has now introduced the word *migration*, of which immigration is only one part. Migration incudes those emigrating. Those emigrating are our youth.
