@rtenews The Irish government doesn't care. Harris and Martin are fucking finished

As oil and gas prices surge as a result of the Iran war, countries around the world have been coming under increasing pressure to ease the burden on citizens. Here's a look at what some countries from across Europe are doing to support households and businesses rte.ie/news/world/202…

@Independent_ie Cut the fucking fake carbon taxes and the rest it's that simple. We've no more to give you blood thirsty parasites

Already squeezed households facing huge cost increase that will only ramp up the longer that Iran war goes on buff.ly/D2zOqBe

@EmployRightsIE Don't tell Ciaran Nugent that

Has Dublin got safer? The data confirms it has not. In 11 years, assaults and harassment in the Dublin Metropolitan Region rose 110%, sexual offences rose 115%, public order offences rose 27%, and theft is still near 10,000 incidents a quarter.

@IrishTimes They really do want to ruin this country don't they

🚨BREAKING: Zelensky Says, "If the US stops giving us money, we will demand at least $250 billion from Europe." What's your response to him......??👀 MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@garygooney @MichealMartinTD Always changing prices thst garage

@techbuzzinfo @MichealMartinTD I seen that price on the 9th lock road today absolutely scandalous

Government is very conscious of the impact volatile energy prices are having. It is a very serious situation. Our immediate priority is to try and alleviate pressures on people, on families, and doing so in a way that protects the economy and avoids adding to inflation.

@tomdoorley Is this a fair example

@jhcgraham An example must be made

No sympathy. The rest of us have to abide by planning law... Owners await demolition of Meath home built more than 20 years ago without permission irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

Cant wait to here Scare Byrne talk about this tomorrow. Oh wait

@waldo2k Yep again take the blinkers off lad

@techbuzzinfo Ok , we are 40+ years in the industry but you do you.

Fuel going up in local station's last hour fucking gouging bastards

@waldo2k You need to take your blinkers off been buying diesel in bulk for twenty years and managed fleets for years . I know how it works

@techbuzzinfo Jim , you need to educate yourself on how the market in Ireland works. We are price takers, every 24 hours. For example some busy garages would get full load every three days. The difference between Monday and tmr will be +14 this week alone. Previous weeks worse than this.

Oh dear well at least he has the excuse of the AI's he used had hallucinations, But what excuse do the other Irish journalists have ? Mediahuis suspends senior journalist after admission of using AI material in his work Publisher of Irish Independent and Sunday Independent says ‘this should never have happened’ Mediahuis, publisher of the Irish Independent and Sunday Independent, has suspended one of its most senior journalists after he admitted putting “words in people’s mouths” when using artificial intelligence (AI) software in some of his work. Peter Vandermeersch took up the post of Fellow “Journalism and Society” five months ago after a period as chief executive. The Irish company has been controlled by Mediahuis of Belgium since 2019. He previously held the top-ranking post of publisher in the Irish organisation, which was previously known as Independent News & Media. The suspension came as a Dutch paper in the Mediahuis stable on Thursday accused Vandermeersch of publishing “dozens of quotes” which proved false. Vandermeersch himself published a piece on his online Substack newsletter under the headline “I am admitting my mistake.” The company said eight of his articles have been removed from the independent website and app. The Substack article followed the investigation by Dutch paper NRC, a Mediahuis title where Vandermeersch himself was editor-in-chief for nine years in the 2010s. NRC’s work began after a journalist there found “he could not verify certain quotes” that Vandermeersch had used. “Analysis shows that Vandermeersch published fictitious quotes on the two weblogs – a Dutch-language and an English-language version – that he maintains as a fellow,” NRC reported. “In 15 of the 53 blog posts he wrote, there are quotes that cannot be found in the publications from which Vandermeersch claims to have obtained them, such as news articles and scientific studies. “Seven of the quoted individuals confirm that they did not make the statements attributed to them in these publications – nor, as far as they can remember, elsewhere. Altogether, this involves dozens of quotes.” In a statement, Mediahuis group chief executive Gert Ysebaert said “this should never have happened”. Mediahuis applied strict rules for the use of AI, Ysebaert said, adding that diligence, human oversight and transparency were essential. “The fact that these principles were not followed runs counter to the standards we uphold and to our commitment to readers that we stand for reliable journalism,” he said. “We are discussing this with Peter Vandermeersch and have decided to temporarily suspend him from his role as fellow.” Vandermeersch acknowledged using AI language models such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Notebook while writing on press and democracy, saying he “fell into the trap of hallucinations”. “I summarised reports using AI tools and worked from those summaries, trusting they were accurate,” he wrote on Substack. “In doing so, I wrongly put words into people’s mouths, when I should have presented them as paraphrases. In some cases, it reflected my interpretation of their words. That was not just careless – it was wrong.”

@waldo2k You do realise they are pushing up the price on what was in the ground within hours.

@techbuzzinfo Jim. Do you believe that garages are ramping up prices at the pumps irrespective of their cost? Do you understand forecourts battle each other every second of every day to keep fuel cost low to get you into the shop to buy something where the margin is? Fuel is the attraction

@MaryLouMcDonald The garages are gouging though still no report from the CCPC when it's been done right in front of us x.com/techbuzzinfo/s…

Overnight, diesel up another 8c per litre. Home heating oil up another €100 for a fill. And what is Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s response? To tell people to wait until next Tuesday for them to hold another meeting! Another 6 days! More delay. They could cut fuel prices today if they wanted. They could implement what is in Sinn Féin’s legislation. This would ease the pressure on people right now. But they choose not to act. We will keep the pressure up until this do-nothing government does its job!
