The people mismanaging the NGS are so far up their own arses that they have no idea of what they can and can't do.

If you work for a wealthy company that's shelling out big on your Christmas party, and if you can personally spare it, give some of the cash you're not spending on the night out to a homeless person. It's temporary, small-scale wealth redistribution and it's Christmassy

lovely words but what about their actions? The HSE put the head of the NGS in charge their trans research. Hillary Cass described the NGS as the 'gold standard' despite being ranked the worst in Europe. They've fluffed on hate speech, gender recognition & no ban on conversion practices yet either.

The man in the recording of the trans woman receiving those disgusting questions released today is unmistakeably Paul Moran, lead psychiatrist at the NGS by the way, not just some random maverick clinician. The rot comes from the very top #SpéirGorm #Trans

Remember when all the gender criticals would give out about institutional capture? Remember when the head of the Irish NGS said trans people were brainwashing politicians? Well what a fucking surprise. Again what the accused us of they were doing themselves. Monsterous.
The EHRC is meant to protect everyone’s rights. But internal documents reveal a different story: repeated meetings with anti-trans lobbyists, legal bias, and secret coordination. We filed the FOI. Here’s what we found.

This government has just laid down and accepted increasing, record-breaking child homelessness like it's a force beyond their control.
Latest figures show 4,844 children living in homelessness in the State.
Asked if we are going to cross the 5k threshold, Housing Minister James Browne says “it’s going to be very difficult to prevent”.
“The sense of direction, unfortunately, has been growing upwards,” he says.

Like most people, it's often the footage of the children of Gaza that upsets me most, but I always squirm when commentators defend women and children's right to life rather than just the people's. Not trying to sound like an MRA, just saying that Palestinian men deserve life, freedom and agency too
