Addendum to this is the article doesn't even seem up to date. The Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan has publicly stated YESTERDAY that the attacks on Connolly are not correct or fair. But this article only makes reference to O'Callaghan as an model lawyer, nothing about his statement. Shame! 🤬

🤬 2/2

1) It's Humpreys party that is doing the mudslinging
2) lmao Connolly's supporters have been LAUGHING at the bizarre and paltry attacks of Fine Gael's inexpert comms team

Be a better journalist please.

Fionnán Sheahan: Don’t mention the banks –the left is unified in ignoring Catherine Connolly’s repossession cases Back when Ted Kennedy challenged the then sitting US president Jimmy Carter for the 1980 Democratic ticket, his campaign faltered for two reasons. The first was a failure on Kennedy’s part to explain ...

🤬 1/2

"Connolly’s backers in the unified left have been performing contortions to defend their candidate from the attacks of the Heather Humphreys camp."

Mr Sheahan, as the Editor of the Indo, you deliberately omitted two things:

‘Widespread media coverage in India’ of attacks on Indian people living in Ireland The violence is damaging Ireland’s reputation abroad, says Department of Foreign Affairs

Let’s all be very clear about this.

The people assaulting immigrants is what is making this country harder to live in, and giving Ireland a bad name internationally, not immigrants.

Well that sucked. Check out @eumovementireland.bsky.social’s bluesky if you want to see what I’m like when I think a little longer about content strategy!

Honestly, what gets me is that WhatsApp’s public image as an ‘encrypted’ messaging platform is being interfered by Meta. Meta’s Llama AI is foist foist upon users without their permission. That alone should raise suspicions around encryption.

Also, the Commission says they "need the timely acceptance of innovative recycling methods like chemical recycling to unlock and derisk investments in Europe."

Translation: "We're scared energy-intensive industries will leave Europe if we don't allow them keep polluting. Money money money."

🤮

^which reminds me...umm, evidence-based NGOs that receive LIFE funding = ooga booga big scary

Big Petrochem who have no intention of decarbonising = we love?

Get real.

The "Competitiveness Compass" just casually drops a reference to the Antwerp Declaration, because nothing says bold, independent policymaking like echoing a wishlist cooked up by big business 🫠

Imagine a Commission document referencing an NGO in a "north star" document. There would be scandal!

So the EU has graced us with yet another ✨ visionary ✨ plan for competitiveness and sustainability - because clearly, the previous ones just needed a little more time to work.

And it's exactly as watered-down as you'd expect.

Europe is drowning in PFAS.

These toxins stick with us for centuries while industries lobby to profit, leaving the public to pay billions for clean-up & health costs.

Great new article from Le Monde.
