Tipperary council seeks new law to compel walkers, cyclists, e-scooter users to don hi-vis Tipperary County Council's elected members have unanimously passed a motion to request the Minister for Transport to make it mandatory for these road users to wear hi-vis jackets or vests in the inter...

Who’s going to tell these councillors that the moment they step out of their cars, they’re pedestrians too? By their own logic, they’d need to be in hi-vis at all times.

Rather than tackling dangerous driving or poor road design, the responsibility gets dumped on the most vulnerable people instead.

1. People who went along with the lie that this shed thing was all about family members should be ashamed.
2. I suspect the think-tank founded by the Thiel and Musk proteges the Collisons played a part in this. Any idea they come up with should be opposed. We're bad enough without Tech Lord fascism.

A van driving past. The van is marked "Armstrong Priestly - Fire sprinklers Save Lives". The driver is engrossed in their phone while driving along.

"Fire sprinklers save lives" - yeah, but being on your phone while driving along doesn't.

A dozen or so cars parked on a brand new bike path, Bóthar Stiofáin, Galway.

Nearby, an event is being held to mark the unveiling of a plaque commemorating Steven Griffin, an Irish soldier who was killed in Lebanon (1980) while on duty with Unifil.

Utterly predictable — and you couldn't make it up.

Bóthar Stiofáin around lunchtime today.

Some of the rhetoric from the protesters makes a good case for banning the over 40s from social media. They can't handle it. Let them grow old in peace.

Not the most pressing thing right now but, that said, how long is Michael Healy-Rae's arm?
Dude looks like Stretch Armstrong here.

Here’s what I’ve been saying: even if you think kids should be off social media you should oppose this bill.

It lets Big Tech off the hook while punishing parents. It will force you to upload your government ID to post online, and will force parents upload sensitive docs like birth certificates

Here in Ireland, planning obligations about providing childcare or other facilities often aren't effective. The developer meets their obligation and provides an empty space, but the actual service never materialises, so you're just left with a derelict shopfront.

He tweeted previously about having rewatched The Sopranos a number of times, and yes, it was the brilliant HBO mafia drama he was talking about, not the opera singers.
I could definitely binge watch a series or two with him and his crew.

Even with Live Aid, he was a performer, not a spokesperson or thought leader. That was 85. Was this poll before that?

Wouldn't Bono have been seen as just a rock star in those days? A big star for sure, fast becoming the biggest Irish music export. He was only starting to become political, which really became explicit with Rattle and Hum.

They're probably not insured to be blocking the road like this, so Gardai can seize them as uninsured vehicles.
