"Because we never hit our targets, we never manage to spend our budget, and it makes us look bad, so instead we're going to operate more on a 'whatever makes us feel good' basis and not commit to anything. It's not really that urgent because I personally have a house, so...yeah."
“Why is there no annual targets in this plan?”
“Because we are focused on activation,” Minister for Housing James Browne says.
“We want to get away from yearly targets,” he adds.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

The biggest hinder to solving Ireland's housing crisis is not finaincing, or planning law, or judicial reviews - it's that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael don't want to.
Again if you find yourself wondering about things like Judicial review because politicians and some right wing journos say this is the reason we can’t get things done, just remember this is complete bollix and the real reason is lobbyists, lobbyists, lobbyists and politicians who become lobbyists.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Like nearly everything he's ever said, this is a weird stupid delusional lie. Nobody should listen to Elon Musk. If he hadn't lucked into nauseating amounts of money, nobody ever would.
Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"
"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

I think part of Catherine Connolly's success that isn't really being covered is that she is firmly, at every turn, very proud to be Irish.
She learned Irish as an adult, she actively enjoys our cultural heritage, her campaign embraced our traditional art forms and trad music.
