Michael Collins' brother Danny is in the Examiner complaining that homeless people from Cork city are getting emergency accommodation in Glengarriff.
Independent Ireland's commitment to "our own" is a strange thing. "Foreigner" now apparently means someone from a different part of the same county.

People Before Profit sends its solidarity to three members in Derry – our councillor Shaun Harkin, Goretti Horgan, and Nina Pulis.

They are among the many people who have faced charges for protesting genocide - but the people who should be prosecuted are those arming and funding a genocide!

A generation locked out of real housing, now told to rent sheds in back gardens.

This is not a solution. It is a distraction from the failure to build affordable homes.

We need proper housing, not unregulated, unsafe alternatives with no tenant protections.

A €50 million bridge first approved during the Celtic Tiger era is moving closer to construction — but questions remain over environmental checks along its protected river corridor.

Shit! It's Jeremy Clarkson.!

We stand with Senator Eileen Flynn ✊️

Women face massive barriers to entering & staying in politics, including online & offline abuse. The abuse is compounded for Traveller women & women from other minority groups

Globe showing the Atlantic Ocean with arrows depicting the AMOC circulation: warm surface currents (pink/red) flowing northward from the tropics toward the Arctic, and cold deep return currents (blue/purple) flowing southward. The background shows sea surface temperature trends, with a prominent blue cold patch, the "cold blob", south of Greenland, contrasting with warming (orange/red) across the rest of the ocean.

1/ There's a system of ocean currents in the Atlantic that shapes Europe's #climate, drives monsoons, and keeps sea levels stable along the US coast.

In the last 5 years, the scientific evidence that it could collapse has shifted dramatically.

Under the Public Processions (NI) Act 1998, N. Ireland has the Parades Commission which regulates public processions and protests. This fascist rally was given the go ahead despite the town’s businesses saying they would have to send black & migrant workers home for their own safety. [1/n]

That's a shocker. You can perhaps excuse the silence of the columnists on deadline grounds. But to entirely ignore what's happened to Eileen Flynn is a deliberate decision and a very poor one.
The Irish hate which loves to speak its name goes unchallenged yet again.

Listening to arguably the biggest weekend radio show on the national broadcaster, and the tsunami of abuse suffered by an elected representative was not mentioned during the panel discussion.
I'll repeat: Irish media/politics has no idea about the far right, and that is a danger for democracy.
