It’s worth reading @SineadOS1’s Substack on this and listening to her interview with @davidmcw - and David is right: forget the nitpickers and engage with the big idea. We’re weirdly reluctant in Ireland to think at a system level, forever fighting the symptoms instead.

If you haven't listened to @SineadOS1 on my podcast this week, give it a whirl. She is truly interesting.

Is Ireland bodypolitik "A Nation of Nitpickers" locally, regionally & nationally? Yes. Another "bang on the money" podcast from @davidmcw Why is Ireland not reaching it's potential and not fair for the many? Root causes here. No growth vision. No plan. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

@davidmcw @SineadOS1 No mention of the lack of Local Democracy, missing a Real Mayor in Dublin, who can be held accountable and responsible by the electorate and have innovative solutions to our issues

@JackEireannach @SineadOS1 Oh yes it is nitpicking! In fact, it is an age old tactic of a malign and 3rd rate mind. Engage with the big ideas. As Keynes said "it is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong"😉

@davidmcw @SineadOS1 Pointing out that @SineadOS1 cherry picked data for a chart to fit a narrative is not 'nit picking!'. If you are going to invent your own metrics you better be open to defend them.

We have an absolutely brilliant and urgent conversation on the podcast with @SineadOS1 today. I urge you to listen to it. Attacked by usual suspects. We also explore the role of nitpickers in curbing debate😉. Nitpicking the 1st sign of a 3rd rate mind! podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/the…

"Hotter than July" The latest podcast on why July will be a month of mass disruption in Ireland, not just up North but down here too. Disgruntled Truckers, long warm nights, the end of the fuel subsidies, plus the EU Presidency. Chaos time. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/sub…
