One of the evident failures of the FF and FG party candidates in the Presidential election was their inability to articulate what either party was for.
These are hollow vessels, whose policies are largely set by outside forces.
An organised external lobby can simply slot their preferred policy in

Ireland has one of the best and most genre-diverse music scenes in the world, but there’s a lack of clear and well-resourced funding pathways.
Many musicians are dealing with constant financial precariousness.

I don’t think that RTE should uncritically report that 5000+ landlords are now selling their rentals properties or having a relative move in. They have sent notices to quit, but there’s no way to check the veracity of the claim behind it.

Since the far right race riot where immigrant families were threatened, Garda were attacked, and a Garda van was set on fire, have you heard our senior politicians talk more about the rioters, or immigration?
