That's not far off 1% of all deaths. Time to a) provide better end of life services, and b) regularise euthanasia.

If Steve Bannon was in contact with right wing political groups in Ireland who would his points of contact be?

Most are just too insanely nuts and lack public or media credibility. I also think he'd approach US 'expats' or those with links to the US.

Ganley, Deeter, Sheridan are my shortlist.

Ah yes. The annual reminder of how utterly shit "Ireland's Call" is.

I doubt there's a septic tank and percollation area still working in Ireland right now.

He raises a very interesting point.

Gaza’s total population “fell by about 254,000 people, a 10.6% decline compared with pre-conflict estimates”, research shows

Can we call it a genocide already or it's still not enough for you!?

Dublin Fog? No, I never heard of it.

Exactly this. Every housing policy or market intervention has been deliberately designed to inflate property valuations.

The fact that cities that ended fluoridation have recommenced it again because of emerging dental health issues is telling, and for me, it's disappointing.

Education, and the free availability of fluoridated toothpastes, would be a better option when questions remain about neurological impact.

No, fluoridated toothpaste is the miracle.

People who add fluoride to drinking water clearly don't understand how it works.

Do you understand how insane that is?

Fluoride is only beneficial when it is directly in contact with the teeth.

That is how it works chemically to rebuild micro cavities in the surface layer of the teeth.

That is how fluoridated toothpaste works.

Would you not just use fluoridated toothpaste?

"[A new British intelligence report] echoes warnings some of us have made for years, only to be dismissed as nutters, doomsayers and extremists."

"Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse...”

You won't find more crucial reading than this.

It's baffling to me how Ireland is only on 65.30% of our quota for this (see citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/...) given our apparently vehement support of Palestinians. If you've not signed yet, do it, and get 5 friends to do it too. eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#... #speirgorm

The correct response from the EU is to suspend the EU/Israel trade agreement.

No American president has ever deserved a peace prize.

Is there anything this fool is actually good at?

Selling her Nobel 'peace' Prize to the paedoph!le is going to damage her reputation.

I wonder what she gets in return?

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

The very best habit to start in 2026 is to tune into 8Radio.com.

A true blue corporatist.

Ireland needs to decouple from the US immediately.

A previously wealthy but staggerly inept businessman, privately financed by Russian banks to stave off bankrupcy, was blackmailed after being caught in an Israeli Mossad child abuse trap was then promoted to the White House in order to advance the interests of his wealthy patrons, Russia and Israel.

The 'Nobel Peace Price' is indeed the correct term.

Indeed, but I've just replaced a 4 year old fridge.

"Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life."

I have no doubt about the technology whatsoever, but I'd be interested to know how it lasted.

This is really excellent. Is there any real world data on reliability, service costs, actual depreciation rates?
