Hugely disappointing to see a Judicial Review lodged in respect of MetroLink. This will further delay rhe project, expenditure congestion and stall overdue investment and improvement in our city. #MetroLink

If you’re one of those NIMBYs in Ranelagh I hope you know that everyone else in the city hates you right now. Get your heads out of your… echo chamber and let Metrolink be free!!

Fianna Fáil in Government will work with families this winter to bring about permanent affordability measures. Permanent changes. Permanent affordability. 60,000 homes will be retrofitted this year.

The names of those engaging in extreme anti-social behaviour by holding up the Dublin Metro. Name and shame. And they should be ashamed.

This is simply a case study of how we can't get things done. 20 well-off D6 residents hold up an important national priority project as it might impact on their own properties. 🤮 Legal challenge to MetroLink to cause 'inevitable delay' https://t.co/MWnULkYhD1 via @rte

Paul Murphy tonight says “shame on Labour and the Greens”. The hard left can never work with the moderate left. Extremists can’t compromise and therefore can’t ever be in government. @PatLeahyIT
This is a scandalous attack on Council and HAP tenants during a cost of living crisis. Shame on FF/FG/LP/GP Councillors for increasing rents. The same will now be tried in other Councils. It must be resisted. https://t.co/gY6YEJcyz3

This is a human post, not a political post - the staff in my local DayBreak are almost all Indian, and the absolute shite they have to listen to and tolerate is unbelievable, yet they remain unfailing friendly, courteous and polite. Heroes of modern Ireland.

Opinion: A McCarthyite fervour has overtaken Ireland where Israel is concerned
irishtimes.com
The issue I have is not that Ireland is pro-Palestinian - its people’s rights and future must be protected - but that it is so aggressively anti-Israel

TD in a country with a huge shortage of rental property describes landlords as parasites. Just shocking ignorance. Childish, student union ideology over actual solutions. And zero understanding of economics, I mean any first year economics student could see how this is nonsense.
"A country with a housing shortage needs landlords" says the Sindo editorial. No, a country with a housing shortage needs homes. Landlords don't build homes. They are parasitical, draining wealth from renters and state.

I don't know why people are complaining about this - it's a 2.6% profit on turnover. You'd have a higher overhead giving food away.
SuperValu franchise owner Musgrave recorded €2.6 million in profit each week last year as turnover reached a new high, fresh figures show.

So much of 🇺🇦’s history resonates with our own in 🇮🇪, it’s baffling how so many so-called republicans & left-wingers side with the oppressor or shrug in response to their terror and war crimes. Student slogans easier than seeing what’s in plain sight. #RussiaIsATerroristState
