More talking at people as opposed to bringing them along with the party. No talk of change in this rebuilding so can't see it succeeding (won't be getting my vote anyway). The resurgence of the greens in the UK is due to policy/Message changes. Everything as it was in Ireland.

Rather than up the rent on workers why not actually collect the rent from the 30% that are non-compliant.

And he accommodated them, government spending up 36 billion between 2019 and 2024 (and again in latest budget). An absolute cod of a man, broke all his own rules about spending but gets lauded because he was lucky enough to be in his position during the good times.

Would rightly lead to the number of people paying their TV license going off a cliff (again). Such utter nonsense.

If only Hogan had been as diligent when it came to travel restrictions he wouldn't have become the focal point of the country's ire!!

There are two permanent markets, a park and pedestrian streets that could be used for the Christmas Market. The Mayor of Limerick seems obsessed with a small section of one street that happens to be where he lives and owns property.

I look forward to this service costing 15m within the next 5 years and the politicians that brought it in house acting surprised/outraged.

Why are we being forced to pay for RTE if we can't also purchase additional entertainment without an additional levy? I'd nearly cut RTE back to news, current affairs and Irish produced content only. All on one TV channel and one radio station. What benefit do we get from big bang theory reruns?

Yeah I'd like to see the numbers on this. Are the government really rushing legislation and overruling a planning constraint based on figures in an Aer Lingus report? The airport is a shambles on busy days already, double the numbers without doubling the security/transport and it won't function.

Amazing how many top public/semi-public bodies pay massive salaries to attract the "best" and then we still have to give them a golden handshake to bugger off. Can someone please let me know when his job is advertised? I'd be interested in giving it a go!!

Article should have been worded better. Refusal was due to their nationality and nothing else (that we can know). The Guardian parrots statements from people/organisations that purposefully conflate nationality and religion (while referencing uptake in antisemitism implying the managers motives).

It has to be Bertie himself calling the papers with these tidbits. Cannot believe for a second that this many (any) people in FF think he's an appropriate candidate. Would do massive damage to their reputation.

FF should not be even associating with Bertie Aherne, the finance minister who didn't have a bank account. Martin is doing his best to turn people away from FF. Their success in the election was due to people liking Harris even less. The like of this is a gift to FG.

Increase the density and you increase the value of the land while decreasing the quality of the apartment that is going to go on it.
Literally no one will ever buy one of these apartments as their own home, rental stock only as no one would want it as their permanent home.
Depressing.

The region was more stable on Thursday prior to Israel's attack. Europe should not be publicly agreeing with any of Israel's viewpoints while they thumb their nose at the world in their treatment of Gaza, still politely asking for aid to be let in. Not strong enough.

Misery for me, would recommendit to anyone. Read it before seeing the movie and its what made me a fan of Stephen King. I don't read horrors at all or really enjoy horror movies.
