It would be nice if he didn't make the argument against billionaires quite so compellingly

Look on my Works, ye Mighty...

I love the implication that we've been overly-successful at this.

Like when Jack Chambers suggested we should deprioritise making Irish public infrastructure beautiful

Oh hilarious, a minority of a minority

Yep and loads just spoiled because they didn't like the candidates, not because they wanted a right wing alternative

County Council pours cold water on promising Bray-Greystones coastal path report Popular 7km coastal route was closed in 2021 following rockfalls and erosion
