John Collison is a businessman who’s good at making money for himself. If you’re a businessman interested in making money for John Collison then you should listen to him. If you’re not a businessman interested in making money for John Collison then his opinion is no more important than anyone else’s

I'd add that this is not only the highest number of votes of any candidate, but also on track to be the highest percentage by a significant margin (unless something changes drastically)
De Valera got 56.3% of first prefs in 1959, while Higgins' 822k votes in 2018 represented 55.8%

With 3 constituencies left to count - Catherine Connolly has received the highest number of votes of any candidate for presidency in the history of the state
According to @womenforelection.bsky.social data - MDH in 2018 had 822k #Aras25

We are seeing a very clear pattern of banning things that make Trumpists and their kids feel bad:
- Books about colonialism, slavery and segregation
- Challenging ideas about gender
- Protests against genocide
- Science generally
It's a blanket ban on hard feelings. They called us snowflakes.

My proposal for a nation-wide scheme for detection of #dogfouling based on canine DNA samples get more coverage today on @thejournal.ie.
Not only would the benefits of the scheme outweigh costs, the fines should cover the costs of testing jrnl.ie/6666963
