Stop weaponising trans and non-binary people as part of a culture war.
Show some decency and humanity and stop spouting nonsense off the internet about something you know nothing about.

My first thought after the weekend, what about all the young “unvetted” Irish men in Australia, Canada, the UAE...They all migrated for a better life as generations of Irish did & do.
They are our sons, friends, brothers and cousins.
Migration is a fact of life, the world over.
Many women my age have sons and grandsons. It's time we accepted that every young single man is some mother's son, a part of someone's family. Can we please stop frightening ourselves and our neighbours with insinuations and spurious scare stories?

Here’s a thought, if you put enough money into public transport to make it work properly and put enough money into safe segregated cycling infrastructure most families would actually consider getting rid of their second car
Minister Richard Bruton said motorists, who might be planning to buy petrol or diesel cars from next month, should reassess their decision and consider purchasing electric vehicles despite the more expensive price tag.

I have huge concerns in relation to exploitation of migrant workers in our meat and growing industries. We have more than exceded an acceptable threshold for a working group to be set up to investigate the industry. The Minister for Agriculture disagreed.

If the Government really wants to solve the housing crisis, then they need a clean break from the private developer-led approach that has so obviously failed, writes
