The enshittification of Ireland and the hollowing out of our institutions is the single largest threat to Irish civil society and prosperity. In this damning piece, I'm going into more detail about the graph I posted yesterday: why it's happening in Ireland, why the way we're thinking about the protests is entirely wrong, and what this means for our collective governance. Link to the article is below!



Very good discussion with Canadian PM @MarkJCarney today. We talked about strengthening the 🇮🇪-🇨🇦 political, economic and social relationship. I updated the PM on our good progress in ratifying CETA.

The fuel protests didn’t come out of nowhere—they’re the result of a government that lost touch with people since last October’s budget. We ignored the hurt and frustration. Now we need urgent cost-of-living supports for working Ireland—and an apology from the Taoiseach down.



@SeanKellyMEP Mr. Kelly, sincere question, I'm not being hostile, genuinely asking: are you comfortable with the fact that 70% of our legislation comes from Europe, and most of what the Dáil does is just transposing European legislation? Is that not concerning? x.com/i/status/17334…
