Really interesting piece & good points about a lot of the assumptions made about intergenerational economics. And Brexit was a bucket of shite all round, glad we moved to Ireland years ago
It was an event organised by the Jewish News, he knew his audience
We have the houses
We don't have the political will to tirn them into homes
Too much money to be made in speculation & hoarding

Taking advantage of the 2 dry minutes we've had so far this year here in Ireland. Dog is happy with the overflowing stream onto the beach.
The information is there, but at least they're staggering in the right direction, slowly. Wonder how much the derelict house tax will be?

I was asked to share this video of a 84 year old grandmothers house in Graiguenamanagh co Kilkenny which flooded today. More flood relief is badly needed in Graiguenamanagh and many other areas. Over years Ministers have visited and made promises but not delivered.
Unless you stipulate that you'll have AT LEAST ONE HOOK on every public toilet door you should be denied planning permission.
I don't understand why so many Irish cafes etc don't have bloody hooks? It's winter, I have a coat, bag & an umbrella & I don't want to put any of it on a dirty toilet floor
So fed up I can't make it, I have no feckin luck with your dates 😔
Thank god you did that. I would've spent the rest of my life looking
My word. (Again.)

Up to €180,000 a year for every family in emergency accommodation is some profitable industry 😢

This is fascinating stuff.
And I will say again that we should have statues for those unknown inventors of ancient times, in stead of certain politicians and rulers who we have to tear down again after a few generations... ;)

[But] you can’t drink politics."

Pod of this week’s Last Word on environment with Matt Cooper on Today FM now available. We did a wrap-up on highs & (mostly) lows of #Cop30, plus we discussed why Iceland is making emergency preparations for possible AMOC shutdown - why isn’t Ireland doing likewise?

Our elderly dog isn't well, horrible decision to be taken soon. The younger dog has had 3 operations recently & is still recovering. The Cat caught a mouse & was inordinately pleased with herself. Think of you all in Ukraine every day
The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.
You might have thought Question Time was biased.
But you never realised how much.
UKIP never even had a single MP.
How touching 😻

I defy anyone to claim they haven’t considered this at some point.
Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve.
I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.
Same here & I can't cope with those gel nails. Can you just have a 'simple' manicure, mainly rubbing cream in your hands & ordinary nail varnish?
