I want to make a change in Ireland, so I'm gonna join one of the partys that have held a duopoly in Ireland since the inception of the state, that have made things considerably desperate for the average citizen, vote with them on all their damaging policies and then complain about the damage.
This is wonderful news. The UK has officially signed up to rejoin the EU’s Erasmus+ scheme from 2027
It means students, apprentices and young people will be able to study and work across Europe 👏
"social contract strained to breaking" says young members of the social contract breaking party.
Votes against renters,Votes against workers,Votes against people with disabilities,Votes for corps over Ireland but the min he sees he's claiming more on fuel...
These fuckwits are embarrassing.
My prediction: the Cute-Hoor Technical Group votes confidence in the government in the end, because the vast bulk of their whole deal is Fuck Ye, We've Got Ours.
Some of them will be electorally banjaxed forever, but not enough to warrant them jettisoning their pensions.

After 20 days on recess, the Dáil is very efficiently getting to its argy-bargy. A row on the order of business at 2:02pm instead of the usual 2:42pm
Thoroughly enjoying the new Louise o Neill novel, each release should be celebrated like a national holiday I have decided
Congratulations to Member of @europarl.europa.eu Péter Magyar on the victory in today's national elections in Hungary.
Hungary's place is at the heart of Europe 🇪🇺🇭🇺
Someone posted a semi-serious take on here a few weeks back (now sadly deleted) that Orbán had been counting on an election boost from World Cup qualification, denied him by the boys in green.
I don't understand why the government isn't recommending that people do save fuel where they can?

How did we manage to fight a war of independence, declare a republic, yet still respect the rights of the English nobility to levy rents on stolen lands?
We need to give our heads a wobble. Eminent domain that shit right now.
"If you jumped into a pit with a baboon, tried to convince it to have tea with you for 40 minutes, and sat nodding sagely at its baboon remarks the whole time... people wouldn’t say ‘Well done navigating that baboon situation’, they would say ‘Why do you do that every March 17th?’"

“Please Outbid Our Own Citizens For Homes,” Government Tells International Property Conference waterfordwhispersnews.com/2026/03/10/please-outbid...
To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.
In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.
This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵
Why is Met Éireann being blamed for the bad planning, the lack of services,
the lack of flood preparation, climate inaction…all the stuff the GOVERNMENT is in charge of??
#FFFG has been in power for the past 10+ years & they’re shirking their responsibility 🤦🏾♀️

New rental rules passed in Dáil tonight by 79/70 votes. Rents will only increase. A real landlords law. Incentives to evict people because rents can rise with a new tenancy. #housingcrisis
🗣️ “Surely nobody should be in a condition described like that?” — guest presenter @newschambers.bsky.social

About 20,000 entire family homes around the country are listed as short-term lets.
We badly need to mainstream the idea that Airbnb-ing a property is disgusting speculation that denies a home to a potential renter or buyer.
How the f*ck have we allowed evictions to reach a similar level to the 1850s So 100 years after independence we are back in worst period of our colonial history, when record numbers had to flee Ireland Have no mistake this is down to successive government policy Enough is enough

Hey so did you know that the solution to the motherhood penalty is to just not penalise mothers?
I don't want to make light of the research, it's just so frustrating that the answer is so obvious and yet we still struggle to have it heard by those in charge.
