@LaceyDermot @1MayorForDublin @RTE_Primetime_ @rte What are your accurate figures?
38% reduction in the existing 3 blocks, offset by a new block of 43(?) units..
New plan seems to be to keep 100% of existing and add another 43 new units .

Minister for Housing getting away with murder on @RTE_Primetime_ ....there is Not 40% housing reduction in DCC Oliver Bond scheme.
English
@LaceyDermot @RTE_Primetime_ Rounded figures, 38% is near enough...

@mdmak33 People talk as if the state has a simple choice between paying for IPAS or not paying for IPAS..

@SimpSimonSays @peterodonoghue If they can deliver oil for a price that recovers full investment over the life span of the project and is still significantly lower than buying from abroad, it would seem to be a good move ..
English
Cork County Council voted 32-3 in favour of writing to the Minister asking for lifting of the ban on oil/gas extraction.
Barryroe has 1 - 1.6 BILLION barrels & gas.
Aontú's Cllr @peterodonoghue brought forward the motion.
SocDemons spoke and voted against 🙄

@tjmcgibnxy To do all that, and still give 96.7% of the fund to charitable causes, for under, say, 200,000e per year would be a challenge, given what we know of RTE staffing costs
English
@tjmcgibnxy / hundreds if not thousands of grant applications, pay salaries, pension provision and over 11% employer PRSI, and office overheads, for less than 171,000 per year.

@woofwooflad89 @griptmedia /..segregate leaving cert classes in Boarding Schools, or just transfer all out on reaching their 18th birthday..
English
@woofwooflad89 @griptmedia The rules have been changes and responsibility for verifying age has transfered back to D/Justice and no longer left to Tusla.
Is an 18 and a half year old likely to be more of a danger to a 17 and a half year old than another 17 and a half year old?
If so, they will have to /

“I have warned repeatedly that the age-verification processes within the asylum system are not merely deficient but dangerously unreliable. This latest reply only serves to confirm that warning and shows the system remains wide open to abuse," she said.

@noshiteplease @BillyFi74637425 @fiannafailparty @FineGael Its bad news for those directly affected,,traumatic even in many cases, but the overall market seems to balance itself out. Ireland needs to incentivise Build to Rent to balance demand and supply

#HousingCrisis
Record eviction notices being reported ,essentially down to @fiannafailparty & @FineGael latest farcical housing policy
I'd love 2 know where are all these tenants 2 go 🤔

Can’t believe the teacher pulled me in to have a discussion because apparently my son was singing an offensive song. When I asked what he was singing she said baa baa black sheep.
I said are you actually serious? Her response was yes we cannot sing that here. My response was you hypocrite because you damn well sang it when you were a child so back up and get back in your lane and don’t call me in over something so pathetic

@BobFlavin There are a few hundred disability organisations, most registered in their own right but affiliated with Disability Federation or Federation of Service providers... I would assume that many fed their observations through their national advocacy organisations
English
How many disabled people are in attendance?
1000 organisations all making money but where are the actual disabled people who can tell us what’s it’s like to live in Ireland?
Micheál Martin@MichealMartinTD
Very important summit today on the Cost of Disability. Over 1,000 organisations have made submissions. We are committed to making progress in supporting people with disabilities across all strands of life.

Record Evictions! More than 7000 renters hit with eviction notices in the first three months of 2026. Up a massive 50%.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael’s rent hikes bill caused this catastrophe. Emergency action can make a difference. Cut rip off rents. Stop rent increases. Introduce a no-fault eviction ban. Reverse this disastrous Bill before many more renters are forced out of their homes. Rapidly increase the delivery of social, affordable and private for purchase homes. That’s what need to be done.
English
A row has erupted in the Dáil after new figures showed a sharp rise in eviction notices.
Sinn Féin’s Pearse Doherty accused the Government of “failing renters” and said families are being left with nowhere to turn as the housing crisis deepens.

@Seantoir @donlav @kajakallas @vonderleyen @EP_President @eucopresident It is never, ever too early to open dialogue.. if each stage of negotiation is treated as a beginning and end in itself, you lose the bargaining power of the overall future picture
Eg if "no talks on anything until Ukraine peace plan is agreed" it ceases to be a bargaining chip
English
The EU should not consider negotiating with Russia until all Russian Forces have withdrawn from any and all Ukrainian sovereign territory illegally invaded, occupied or annexed since 1997. @kajakallas @vonderleyen @EP_President @eucopresident

"Russia started this war, Russia continues this war, and Russia can end this war today by withdrawing its forces and respecting Ukraine's sovereignty. The responsibility lies fully with the aggressor." - Kaja Kallas - EU diplomat Absolutely correct, I couldn't agree more...

@karldeeter @DanMulhall Good.. but it seems there are more than a few who are far from happy to see this young lady represent Dublin in the Rose of Tralee pageant...

@KitMurray @DanMulhall I am happy for people to participate in society irrespective of their lineage or ethnicity.
English
Silly framing by @DanMulhall of course you are born & raised here you are entitled to be Irish. It's the people making it sound like she is quintessentially Irish that is stupid. Saying she is not isn't racism, it's reality.
Daniel Mulhall@DanMulhall
A lot of the angry responses to my post appear to be confused about Irishness. They think it’s only available to people whose families on both sides have lived in Ireland for generations. Those people are certainly Irish but so are many people of Irish heritage who were born abroad. If they have one Irish born grandparent, they are entitled to citizenship. Someone born in Ireland without an Irish heritage but who grows up here is, under our laws, entitled to be Irish. What else could they be. They may never have seen their ancestral homeland. They have been educated in Ireland and been part of our society. The only reason for denying them the right to be Irish would be racism pure & simple, and that is not something most Irish people would go along with, although a noisy minority probably holds such un-Irish views.
