Saw this video the other day and didn't realise those outside Ireland are also amazed at how the Irish Government throws away cash at ridiculous projects. They're probably saving the €15Billion Apple tax windfall for a new post box somewhere!

There was a leaders debate on Nov 26, three days out from the #IrelandElection #GE24 #irelandpolitics #IrelandVotes . I was hoping for more obvious quiz material, but I'll go with this one. Mary Lou McDonald of Sinn Féin was criticized at one point for policies which undermined the enterprise economy by who? (guessing encouraged)

I am loving Fianna Fáil's aggressive Instagram campaign, where awkward men stand in front of a muddy JCB and pose like they're having a photograph taken while trying to force their slogans out through gritted teeth. #IrelandPolitics

I've said it before. If you take environmental protests as an example, we know exactly what it looks like when the Gardaí actually want to move people on.

In the face of that (along with the speed at which refugee tents are cleared), the fact that the Coolock camp had been allowed to remain in place for weeks, and the racist roadblocks elsewhere in the country were permitted to go ahead without Garda intervention, reveals a pretty sinister double-standard.
