A "green divide" has emerged among Irish households with electric vehicles, solar panels and heat pumps strongly concentrated in affluent areas

A strange way to say “New report confirms that Eamon Ryan’s Green Party very successfully made climate action a middle class hobby.”

Friendly reminder that you don't always need to bring quiet people "out of themselves" or try to get them to "loosen up" at social gatherings, some of us are just naturally a bit more reserved and introverted and silently plotting the downfall of our enemies and that's okay 💖

Almost 100 jobs at risk as North Cork Creameries stops processing Staff at North Cork Creameries have been informed that their jobs at the plant are at risk, with almost 100 jobs to be impacted.

The dairy industry has operated for too long on the freedom to pollute.

Workers whose jobs are now at risk should ask their bosses why they did not invest in meeting legal requirements.
