They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

The idea of shy boy Sheridan getting Sharon Keogan to introduce him to councillors - like a kid saying "will you shift my friend?" at a teen disco - would be hilarious if it wasn't, you know, Cork in Croke Park numbers of red flags.
Interviewed Gareth Sheridan this morning - he says it's time for an end to 'left - right divisive' politics.
That's despite being introduced to councillors by Senator Sharon Keogan - who said LGBT+ people were involved in an 'organised takeover' of society... and who has posted "#IrelandisFull".

SO I've no idea if I don't like spice bags or if I've just never had a good one. They seem very dry?
I'll cope across Christmas if I don't get an answer to this, but if anyone can advise where does a good one I'll be able to check at some point
