Ireland’s forest situation is incredibly bleak

Spotted this corporate slogan in a window in Kilkenny this week, something of a modern masterpiece in ambiguity.

“The EPA study indicated that agricultural run-off was the source of the excess nutrient levels. It measured at seven times what it should be.”

Quote this back at FF/FG everytime the phrase ‘nitrates derrogation’ comes up

What a brilliant day at the launch of the Irish Cycling Campaign with Minister @darraghobrientd.bsky.social.

This new identity isn't just about cycling, it's about transforming our communities into safer, more inclusive, more welcoming & connected places.

Míle buíochas to our members & supporters.

Happy bike week!

Happy bike week everyone!

When people say you should hear both sides of the argument, well these are both sides:

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

Two NYT headlines stating the WH wants to promote more childbearing and the EPA is ending testing for chemicals that hurt children.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

To me, the current “model” of neutrality we have is partly defined by not spending money on defence. Our model of neutrality is dependent on NATO implicitly and the UK explicitly covering up for our lack of defence spending.

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

All just a ploy to set up stripping Adams of his citizenship

Mother's Day: Maternity benefits and childcare in the EU While Ireland's maternity leave compares well to other EU countries, Irish fathers are still far behind in terms of entitlements.

While Ireland's maternity leave compares well to other EU countries, Irish fathers are still far behind in terms of entitlements, writes Tania Reut.

Amazed the backbenchers have stayed quiet over this. I’d be apoplectic

From my experience, you’re more likely to see a Garda car pulled over on the double yellows “just popping in to get a coffee”

The hand wringing over committee work or pre-legislative scrutiny being hampered would have weight if the same people complained about the excessive use of guillotines to limit Dáil debate over FG/FF's tenure in government

Big if true

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.

Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.

Support local, not the billionaires.

Would he count towards the 2027 comp pick calculation?

Conclave but muppets

Today’s NYT crossword was worth it just for 66 Across

Too early to coin the phrase "Rubio-entrop Pact"?

Putin can have peace whenever he wants it. He simply leaves Ukraine and there’ll be peace.
