Yet literally only a month ago on budget day the Government increased the dole rate for the long-term unemployed and left the new higher, pay-related payment for those only recently unemployed unchanged.
Simon Harris says penalties on the way for those who treat dole as ‘a way of life’

Thoughts with the Garda and hopefully makes a full and speedy recovery.
Brutal from the Journal and Joe. ie to frame it as an incident at the game, dishonest and misleading.
Terrible journalism and the same media heads wonder why trust in their outlets is in decline.

For every €6 we collect in CT, we are spending €5, and saving €1. Without this excess CT, we will run an €11bn current deficit for 2026. Its utterly reckless. When this bursts, it will be absolute carnage.

Yesterday’s #Budget2027 announcement is a strong endorsement of the long-term plan and importantly, the hard work taking place across @LeagueofIreland of Academies.
There's a huge amount of hard work ahead but yesterday's announcement is another positive step forward. 🇮🇪⚽️
Government announces further €1 million investment in LOI Academy Programme

The account 'Leeds United Ireland @leeds2023456 which I believe was the first to post the video containing the racist abuse of Adam Idah has been suspended by X. All perfectly normal.

Here was me thinking he had found love for his hometown club Dundalk. Here was me thinking he realised you can't just chose a random team to support.
Nope!
Just randomly dropping a random club he randomly started supporting years ago 🤣
Conor O’Callaghan: “I finally decided to stop supporting Liverpool FC.

There’s something deeply embarrassing about an Irish sports writer being this sneering and contemptuous towards people who support Irish football.

Declan Rice becomes the first player in history to tweet "UP THE RA" and draw 0-0 with Ghana in the World Cup.

Is this the best we can do with the old Ulster Bank on College Green? I’m more annoyed about this redevelopment than I am about the Stephen’s Green shopping centre. It feels like a wasted opportunity to correct what was previously torn down. & of course there’s a glass stepback🙄

It's amazing how you don't see scenes of mass illegal blockades & countries being held to ransom in countries with higher fuel prices.
It's almost like their people realise this is a period of global crisis & they choose to act in the best interests of the country not themselves
