There's a roundabout in Cork where even during the worst traffic, drivers unfailingly allow others to merge in a "zip" by local custom. Driving through it restores my faith in society, every time.
I just found out it's known as the "soundabout", and that's just wonderful.

Ah the 1970s.
Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

There is something about the upbringing of certain people that means their entire foundational understanding of the world is built on the idea that for all the "niceties" of morality, might is right, the powerful should get what they want and enough money should be able to buy ANYTHING.

Attracta's piece emphasises that judicial review is not a ban on development, it’s a mechanism to safeguard public interest and the rule of law.
Under-resourcing of the courts and planning bodies means quality suffers; the solution isn’t to restrict access, but to invest in the system.
