Gareth Sheridan is renting out a two-bedroom US investment property he advertised this year for $2,700 a month – well above its area’s average rent – despite his claims that addressing the housing crisis is a “top, top priority”.

The U.K. Online Safety Act was (avowedly, as revealed in a recent High Court case) “not primarily aimed at protecting children” but at regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse.”

The pursuit of wealth and the inequality that comes from it,is the reason for the majority of crisis in the world today.
Tax wealth, not work.

He's politically blackmailing them. He's a mob boss, not some economic tactician. You are talking about someone who's complicit in genocide and economic destruction as

A United Airlines flight illegally transported ammunition handling systems – among military cargo overwhelmingly funded by the US government – to Israel through Irish territory this morning.
They’re being delivered to the IDF’s largest weapons supplier.

The same thing is coming to Ireland. The public Service card, which has been illegally rolled out in Ireland has, after a second review, been fined for improperly storing biometric data. We've also recently purchased facial recognition vans those mentioned here #Ireland
Who did they compare it to, because there's accusations of price gouging going on in many countries. If you compare something bad to something that's also bad, it doesn't make the result good. It just means they're all greedy shites. #Ireland

Technocratic language again being used to hide the central bank's complicity in genocide. Don't forget the central bank is not there for you or me, it's there to protect the interests of the wealthy elites that rule this country and others.

"it will not accept submissions from whistleblowers.....
...be conducted behind closed doors.
It will not have the power to compel witnesses to attend.
The transcripts of any interviews will not be made available, and no blame will be apportioned."

Incoming increase in taxes to the average person with the next budget so, alongside probable further cuts to disability and mental health services. But hey, the economy is great! GDP go up, all good.

I was groomed, sexually abused and violently raped as a child in St John’s Ambulance Ireland. The man who did it was never charged.
We need a full public inquiry no more silence.

Stopped watching as soon as I heard the AI voice. Just to be clear, people in Ireland are not happy with the OTB. We were told it would be for goods AND services. It's been watered down to just goods, when most of the money we spend is on services. Is it something - sure, enough - no.

The world is rough right now and there's something therapeutic about listening to someone else talk about that. Blindboy does that in such a great way.
