Tangentially related, there’s also an app which tells you when’s a good time to nip out of a film to go to the loo, when you’ll miss the least important parts. It’s called RunPee (heres a link on Apple AppStore) apps.apple.com/app/id450326...

How many of them are under 18 and can’t vote?

Very similar to my constituency, and very similar to my likely vote tomorrow too. There’s definitely a bit of holding your nose when you get further down the list, but anything to keep the fash out.

I’m sure you know this, but as a PSA, you don’t need your polling card. As a former Presiding Officer, I can tell you that as long as you have ID( which you might not even have to produce) you’re grand.

Just seeing it under the “Go Packaging Free” banner is especially egregious.

Whichcandidate.ie statement from Aontú on the question “Abortion should be allowed in a wider range of circumstances “, reads:
Aontú supports the right to life for everyone. 85% of abortions are for socio economic reasons. Many mothers feel that they do not have a choice to have their children. Aontú seek to ensure that all mothers have the economic confidence to raise their children to their full potential.”

I think it does say they’re anti-choice, though. On the statement “Abortion should be allowed in a wider range of circumstances” Aontú disagrees with it, and the first line of their response is “Aontú supports the right to life for everyone.” It sounds anti-choice to me.

WhichCandidate Find the candidate that matches your views on WhichCandidate.ie

I second that about www.whichcandidate.ie I’ve just used it and found it super useful to get my thoughts in order. I wish more of the independents had answered it though, as some of them I don’t know, so now I have to do my own research. Tsk!!

Pre-packaged oranges in non-recyclable netting and plastic punnets under a sign reading “Go packaging free. Take local action, make global impact.”

Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this picture, in my local SuperValu supermarket?

Welcome Mike. It’s quieter than the dark side, but so far seems nicer.

Just joined, finally. Like many people, I’m finding the ex-bird place quite tiresome, so I hope it’s a bit better here. If you see this, please recommend people for me to follow. Thanks.
