The entire budget allocated to “Sports and Recreation Services” (which includes participation and elite/high performance sports) for the Dept of … Sport (etc) is €183m
So greyhounds and horse racing receive €95m and every other sport combined receives €183m

Horse and Greyhound Fund is up 4.4% for 2024 - €19m for greyhound racing from the taxpayer, €76m for horseracing, an increase of 4.4% year on year, €95m overall. The controversial fund is oft criticised, but it never seems at risk of being phased out...

I strongly condemn the firing of rockets into Israel by Hamas and attacks against Israel from Gaza. I deeply regret the loss of life and the impact on civilians. I call for an immediate cessation of all hostilities.

@CalvinOBrien1 doubt he believes what he says himself. absolute grifter for christian zealots and beyond.

He's supposed to be this new age of media that presses the issues that people want to challenge the narrative on ...
And then comes out with a ridiculous stone age statement like this

It takes a special kind of delusion to say that making drugs easier to acquire won't increase their use. They said the same about abortion, and then the rate skyrocketed, as anyone with a brain could have told you. Turns out that making a behaviour easier means you'll probably get more of it. WOW! 🤯

@TronCarterNLU @rosswhitakertv agree, the parkland selections are boring. I believe links options are minimal due to logistics and the corporate horn for luxury resorts. pity, the lahinch one got me excited.

@rosswhitakertv Galgorm Castle and Mt Juliet aren’t it.
I understand that the proper links courses can make far more by catering to tourists, but it’a still a shame.

Assuming they’re trying to stack Euro Masters/Irish/Wentworth to maximize field strength for each, but the Irish is not a serious event. I love the Irish, but it’s not a serious national open (just like Canada)

Record levels of homelessness. Over 100,000 vacant homes. More than 1 billion euro of the housing budget left unspent. I don't think there is anyone left in the country who has faith in this government's housing policy.

Margin of 19, another confidence vote won comfortably by the Government, I expect we’ll have another one soon. It seems the opposition are more interested in the theatre of confidence votes than anything else.

I'm fed up of Tommy Robinson and Paul Murphy hijacking real concern. I'm tired of lads with megaphones being flat out racist or saying immigration can go on at these numbers indefinitely. Can the children go fight in the playground and leave the adults to talk serious issues?
