I was asked to share this video of a 84 year old grandmothers house in Graiguenamanagh co Kilkenny which flooded today. More flood relief is badly needed in Graiguenamanagh and many other areas. Over years Ministers have visited and made promises but not delivered.

Unless you stipulate that you'll have AT LEAST ONE HOOK on every public toilet door you should be denied planning permission.
I don't understand why so many Irish cafes etc don't have bloody hooks? It's winter, I have a coat, bag & an umbrella & I don't want to put any of it on a dirty toilet floor

So fed up I can't make it, I have no feckin luck with your dates 😔

Thank god you did that. I would've spent the rest of my life looking

My word. (Again.)

Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan: "At the end of the day, it's the choice of a person to make these images... technology is moving so fast... even if the law is changed there's no doubt about... the advances are far faster than law is able to respond..."

This is fascinating stuff.
And I will say again that we should have statues for those unknown inventors of ancient times, in stead of certain politicians and rulers who we have to tear down again after a few generations... ;)

Most Irish people want clean water, not a nitrates derogation Has the Government ever asked the people of Ireland if they agree with pulling on the green jersey to convince Europe to give us another derogation?

"Our waters are crying out for a break from the pollution, Irish people [want] clean water, but our voices are drowned out in a world of political wrangling and vested interest.

[But] you can’t drink politics."

Pod of this week’s Last Word on environment with Matt Cooper on Today FM now available. We did a wrap-up on highs & (mostly) lows of #Cop30, plus we discussed why Iceland is making emergency preparations for possible AMOC shutdown - why isn’t Ireland doing likewise?

International Criminal Court to ditch Microsoft Office for European open source alternative | Euractiv The court will move its internal work environment to Open Desk, a German-developed open source software

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.

The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

You might have thought Question Time was biased.

But you never realised how much.

UKIP never even had a single MP.

How touching 😻

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.

I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

Same here & I can't cope with those gel nails. Can you just have a 'simple' manicure, mainly rubbing cream in your hands & ordinary nail varnish?

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."
