https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2026/0310/1562588-limerick-hospital-site/ A site for a new hospital facility in Limerick has been acquired by the HSE for €14 million, in close proximity to University Hospital Limerick (UHL). Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has confirmed the acquisitio...

Now, maybe I’m a bit thick but I genuinely don’t understand how this is supposed to close any loopholes: “The European Parliament’s resolution, passed on Tuesday by an overwhelming margin, urges all EU member states to adopt an only “yes means yes” legal standard for consent while recognizing that ...

I thought that was due to benefitting from the SF surplus votes rather than any drive from the electorate in big numbers suddenly falling in love with Labour. Left wingers transfer well. The SDs got only slightly more than Aontú but needed up with 10 seats to Aontús 2. Tobín barbs at FG and FF put ...

Is that not what the Irish Times used to try to have the identity disclosed, and which the court denied? Or is that a different procedure? It may be that FOI doesn’t apply to court cases. But I really hope the IT doesn’t abandon their attempt to have the TD’s identity disclosed all the same. It is ...

It's possible. The gerrymandering is getting pretty blatant on both sides in the run up to the midterms. Virginia is looking like it's going from having balanced and fair districts to ones that would make James Carson and Lord Brookeborough proud. That said, it's looking like many red spots will be...

There should definitely be a freedom of information request on this one if only to force the court and judge concerned to explain themselves why they have given the TD concerned anonymity. I'd also question the Judge who has blocked the publishing of this information. What law gives him the power t...

There were Chinese whispers online emanating from an appearance on a podcast by an ex-CIA analyst, Larry Johnson about a bust up or screaming match in the White House last weekend. It was a sort of 'a friend told me that a friend told her kinda story', that Trump wanted the nuclear codes on Saturda...

In the not too distant future are we destined to end up with a Dail comprised almost exclusively of Independents, because no one has the backbone to make the tough decisions and stand by them ? Frankly, I'm shocked at the level of support for the thuggery and hooliganism we witnessed over the last ...

I was expecting post arms trial, '71 Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis fireworks. Three young firebrands acting like young Kevin Bolands, mavericks ready to rent the party asunder. Instead, not even a party whip needs to be cracked because they all backed the government on Tuesday. Amateur hour stuff lads. C'm...

One less Putin fan boy. Good times ahead. J D Vance made look foolish too into he bargain. A lesson that US backing can turn voters off may be noted by other populist parties.

Well, I didn't like to assume, but from the comments upthread it sounded like he was a right-wing agitator. But it is interesting if the far-right is splitting into factions, this has usually been the preserve, and downfall, of the far-left. True but the far left and the far right are basically the...

Taiwan/Formosa is to the Chinese Revolution what Florida is to the Cuban one.

Completely normal political discourse to be having in any nation. He may as well say "Alon, we want to destabilise the Lebanese state for breakfast and annex the southern half of it for dinner." A large segment of Israeli society is unfortunately deeply, deeply brainwashed by the ideologi...

I've come to believe that what Rubenstein says below is actually along lines of how many people think. Especially in this country, which as I've said before unfortunate has this strong "peasant" streak running through it, in the sense of puerile egocentricity, being concerned solely with ...

The "protestors" are lucky people they have the cuddly Gardaí to deal with and not some of the other European police forces. My sincere wish is that if these louts try blocking public infrastructure the Gardaí start to get medieval on these people.
