"So Sally Rooney has published six and a half million books - that's quite a lot of books, well done - but that's about 15,000 tonnes of emissions."
Ireland's data centre industry boss has lashed out at writer Sally Rooney for her opposition to the sector

Fine Gael love to use Russia as the Triple Locks Bogeyman but fail to admit the only reason the UNIFIL Lebanon mission is ending is due to the United States.
Who will benefit from the UNIFIL troops leaving south Lebanon? Probably the Israeli army who will occupy more of Lebanon.
Irish troops should be deployed to Lebanon as part of a new EU mission and be involved in both peacekeeping and peace enforcement duties, according to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and Defence Helen McEntee.

From this headline you wouldn’t think Sinn Féin are the most popular party in the 26 counties 7% ahead of both Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.

The question we need to ask is where do Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael want to send Irish troops that they currently can’t.
If they don’t have an answer then they are changing, in Micheál Martin’s words, “the core of our neutrality” for no reason.
The vast majority of people want Ireland to maintain our proud tradition of peacekeeping.
Reforming the triple lock ensures our decisions on participation in peacekeeping missions are not dictated by a veto from Russia, China, or the United States.

Sinn Féin has joined with political parties, groupings and Dáil members in urging British PM Andy Burnham to intervene immediately to stop the Orange Order march on Garvaghy Road.
Twelve days of fear and uncertainty is unacceptable. Residents of Garvaghy Road should not have to remain on 24-hour vigil peacefully protesting to stop an unwanted march in their community
Decades of peace and progress must not be undone.
Swift action is required by Andy Burnham.
“The South” = The Fine Gael / Fianna Fáil establishment
The south sees Drumcree and thinks: we don’t want that sectarian mindset down here

The fact Israeli fans were allowed in to the Irish home game is ridiculous.
The FAI and the government are cowards.
Still occupy a part of our Island and protect the Murders who attacked our people but yeah, “feel nothing but goodwill”.
The English government seem to have found their Irish lackey.
