Conclusions
We do believe that the presence of supervisory presiding officers also helped staff in these situations and praise their efforts to stop these breaches of the secret ballot.
Analysing Claims of Electoral Interference During the Irish Local and European Elections
Sunburst chart of election interfence claims by category during the Irish local elections, "family voting" does not appear.
For context, I have worked on counter-disinformation and election integrity investigations during the last three Irish national elections, and the threat, or even the term, "family voting" wasn't in my vocabulary before polls closed in Gorton and Denton. This is fabricated.

y'all did fuck all to protect trans people as our rights were stripped in multiple states. Kansas just stripped trans people of their IDs overnight, basically making trans people in the state undocumented at a time when that results in kidnapping, torture, and death.
What are you doing RIGHT NOW?

This was our landlord in Dublin - they bought our entire housing estate in 2021, started ignoring our maintenance issues and we had to take them to the RTB to get our security deposit returned.

Yeah. I donβt see ads too often. Think I just saw it during sports over the weekend and it just didnβt sit right once I realised it was trying to glamourise the stuff rather than it being a domestic violence help/support/awareness campaign.

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

Yup, Canada left too many chances behind. They were all over the US in the second period.

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.
Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasnβt allowed to use the word βfascismβ during press junkets in 2025.
Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

This Is Not A Christmas Blend is made up of Ethiopia Ardent Guji and Peru Aprysa bringing festive notes of Cranberry, Toffee and Sultana.
Stopped taking on wholesale customers a year and a half ago. We decided we were happy to stay a small business. Therefore we don't have opportunities to appear on more shop shelves. It's now all word of mouth. I guess this means this coffee is our unofficial tagline... imbibe.ie/collections/...

Bus drivers' union want to see hi-vis jackets become 'mandatory' for cyclists
The union said that the issue has grown due to a βproliferationβ of electric vehicles.
We firmly oppose this measure, as existing evidence indicates that such laws do not, in fact, protect people who cycle.
The union should be calling for better active transport infrastructure instead of deflecting responsibility to the most vulnerable people on the roads.
