It is over 18 months old now and I wonder what you make of the Re-Turn scheme? Has it been good for us - better plastic recycling, less rubbish or our beaches, in our rivers and everywhere else? Or is it a pain that is costing you money? Or maybe a bit of a mix?

Irish start-ups raised just €112.6m in Q2 – their lowest funding in a decade – after an 81% fall in international investment. What does this mean for SME growth and innovation? https://t.co/fCzUkqwpgJ

Over the past few years, we’ve been proud to steward DeSci funding rounds on Gitcoin. But science thrives on experimentation, and nature depends on diversity to survive. So far, we have allocated over $711K in funding to 249 DeSci projects.

What is €4.5 million research investment in community education without citizen science The secretary general earns €250,000 per year to write this educational policy. No digital strategy. No smartphone strategy. No PhDs in citizen science. Would expect more from junior cert

It's not an exaggeration to say many Councils are close to collapse. Basic services like regularly emptying bins are just not being done by them. Many Councils are badly managed and spend 20%+ of Council tax on their own pensions - this extravagance needs to stop.
