Having already cut excise by 20c/l, and increased the rebate for hauliers and transport companies, it’s already pretty much at the legal floor. There would have to be a change of EU directives to go any lower. (2/2)
Just worth saying, for absolutely legal clarity: the government does not have the legal prerogative to abolish carbon tax in its entirety. Carbon tax is a form of excise, and EU directives require excise on diesel to be a minimum of 33c per litre. (1/2)
Fuel protest on Dublin's O'Connell Street
Just spent 2 hours at the fuel protest at the bottom of O'Connell Street and any notion that its a farmers protest is misguided. It may have started out as one but it has become something else entirely, fueled by Facebook and Twitter's algorithms telling people what to get mad at.
Join us today at 1:10pm for the kickoff of the 'Handel & Dublin' series. Triona O’Hanlon, an Independent Scholar, will delve into the relationship between music and charity in Handel’s Dublin. Everyone is welcome to this free event!

How I've been justifying my excessive Mini Egg consumption lately

Sensational rugby. Will we ever see the like again!!
Time makes mugs of us all

Every Irish rugby fan's sleep paralysis demon is going to look like this guy tonight
So. Where is the championship trophy RIGHT NOW. #6N
I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄
Cyclists Beware!!!
There are reports of sabotage in the cycle lane on the Old Cabra Road inbound near the Maple Centre
Someone has drilled Torx screws into the cycle track and it’s damaging tyre’s
Be careful if you’re cycling in the area
World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament

Ireland:...
World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-
Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.
Some speed on the fella!!
So now it's time to root for England #IrevSco
Never, ever buy One4All cards. The hoops you have to go through to spend them is crazy plus, the money they start taking off them. I think some people think they are Irish, but they ain't. AVOID
We really wanted to do the night train! But we left it too late, but seeing it all during the day was great too. It inspired my bro & sis in law to do it for their anniversary and they're off at Easter, just the two of them.
Just heard Andrew Tate referred to as Lawrence of Dry Labia.
Fabulous stuff
How I feel when I stick a library card in the little slot that stops the hotel room lights from turning off.
This sounds like a @cmatbaby.bsky.social lyric.
