A game of musical chairs with concentration camps; demographics and the middle classes. Don't worry, it all turns out well in the end (sorta).

The department of housing made it perfectly clear that their only incentive with the recent apartment deregulation in standards and reforms to rent caps was to lure international investment These investors require apartments to be expensive in order to acquire a higher yield

Scotch whisky and cider.

The purpose of Bunreacht and particularly the courts is to regulate a complex and ever shifting complex system, and ensure a complex network of systems operates fairly for citizens. As soon as politicians start trying to exempt bits from that, you know they're up to no good.

Elon Musk has been granted permission by the High Court to challenge an investigation by Irish media watchdog Coimisiún na Meán into whether social media giant X, formerly Twitter, contravened the Digital Services Act regarding complaints procedures.

One cannot imagine a group less suited to discuss theology...

Sadly I have received another report of more damage in Cork from the thunderstorms that hit Sunday night along with a downburst wind. This home and neighboring property in Unionhall Cork were badly damaged. A weather station in Ringaskiddy did record a sudden and dramatic wind

OTD 1598 English authority in Ireland on the brink-reported 'I do see the outrage of the enemy to be such, by their daily incursions into the Pale'. Worse 'the companies of foot Her Majesty hath in Ireland are many, & yet the enemy liveth in small fear of them' #nineyearswar

And each seems to have seen a drone of their own country's manufacture?

And in today's Brexit, "Who knew that would happen?"...

I was on a residential course in the US for work. One day, my boss in Ireland rang me for help at 8am. Sorting out the problem took more than an hour, so I was late for class. They sent an (armed) security guard to get me. I still recall the shock on his face when I just told him

Waterless printing? We’re into it. SHEIN’s digital thermal transfer printing says goodbye to water-heavy dyeing and printing and keeps the prints looking sharp. Learn more at the link.

I just asked Tánaiste Simon Harris about the Government giving €100,000 of taxpayer money to a school programme that teaches children about "white privilege" in classrooms across Ireland. Video coming soon on @griptmedia.

We all know that Benefacts was shutdown, but did you know that recent changes to the charities act means the threahold for NGOs to provide fully audited accounts to the public is now rising from 100k to 250k!! This is a serious red flag. We will have a massive problem with

Ireland needs to think more about what it's doing. Bring on the lawyers. No one else can slow down the GDP addicted lunatics and make them think about what we are doing.

More British genius, in 4 steps 1) Force feed MIFID on the rest of the EU 2) Leave the EU 3) Abandon MIFID 4) Watch the EU drown in bureaucracy https://t.co/DkkXrGZx3b

If you're older, 100% don't get back to you...

And they all built or bought great big unpopular hotels, completely at odds with Ireland's very successful small business tourism brand, which unsurprisingly didn't do well, and now they'd like the government to bale them out by filling them with immigrants at wild prices...

America needs you! Join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement today.

Let us be sanguine about things, which is to say strong in the blood and practical; concerned about the problems we can see and fix. Those other problems are small AND far away, and we can do shag all about them.

It seems that elites worldwide have decided that their response to the ending of the demographic transition that created modernity is to retreat into the early modern period (which is where mercantilism comes from). Folks, the early modern period was nasty, brutish, and short.

I'd love to know what Ireland's "structural advantages" are. For a century, economists have harped on about its structural disadvantages, and they were specific (small island in the Atlantic), whereas these aren't so much vague as unmentioned. A collection of empty allegations.

The EU has fined X for breaking laws requiring platform transparency, nothing to do with free speech
