The Irish Gov gave a higher % increase (~5%) to Greyhound Racing than to Mental Health services (~3.36%) . Next time a politician tweets (for the PR) about seeking help ask them why they think Greyhound racing deserves a higher increase.

They had two Wolfhounds , their groomer had serious concerns about their welfare and they needed veterinary care which they werenโt given. One was put down and one was dumped on a rescue. These company should not be allowed to have any dogs at all.

She had four previous convictions for motor related offences. She should have been banned for life. This is a shocking decision .. the original decision was far too lenient (guess the judge) she should have been jailed.

She knew for days her son was involved in this horrendous attack on women at that station .. it took the Gardai having to get a warrant to arrest them in their houses. Any decent parent would have brought their child to the Gardai station to get it resolved.

was an absolute hero for bringing in the smoking ban. The opposition to it was immense at the time and looking back on now the objections were ludicrous.

I have a better Idea. Lets give the โฌ95M the Race horsing and Greyhound racing industries get to the rescues and they can have the โฌ6M and rely on Handouts and donations .. but since they "generate a huge amount" for the Country they shouldn't need any of that at all.

Lol... It's still there 4 hours after reporting it to the Gardai in Raheny which is about 1km away from it. Nothing has changed ..The Gardai don't care..
Department of Agriculture shamefully approves โฌ160,000 salary package + company car for next CEO of Greyhound Racing Ireland. The cruel and dying greyhound "industry" has received over โฌ328 million of public funds to-date
How would this have been reported if the driver of the car killed the cyclist ? Would the RSA and the Gardai appealed to drivers to โslow down and be more awareโ and yet provided with video evidence the driver gets a caution .. itโs a joke.
Can you believe this BS .. still capturing a wild animal , caging him , subjecting him to everything he would flee from , but hosting him up in the air for a little bit less. Shame on that Vet , shame on that backward fair and all involved just to line their pockets.
Beat the energy crisis and rescue a dog. Great at keeping you warm and breathing into your armpit ๐. Bailey has done this since he was a tiny pup .. he loves tucking his head under your arm. Something very soothing about having a dog fall asleep on you.

-We are not racists. We were just being racist and then the Garda escorted women and children in and we had not choice but to shout abuse at them and itโs the Gardas fault. We dropped a few old toys up later.
Quite possibly the stupidest thing I have seen today. Life expectancy has increased over the centuries due to things like NOT BURNING TURF IN SMALL HOUSES WITH NO VENTILATION
Turf has been burned across Ireland for centuries in small houses with no ventilation, and now, all of a sudden, people are suffering chronic illnesses.
If you open your mind and think for a second, it's not that hard to identify these statements as pure nonsense. .

It would seem pointless to continue to lockdown towns unless you do something about the meat packing plants and conditions the employees are made work and live in. This will continue to happen otherwise.
Drove the Motorhome for 300km at ~90kph on the Motorway instead of 100kph, saved โฌ8.2. That's a lot of money. Difference in travel time~15 minutes due to general slow downs off ramps on ramps etc. I don't know why we aren't lowering speed limits during a climate and fuel crisis.
Fox hunting is cruel and barbaric. The people who do it are savages. If people try and tell you there are only drag hunts here they are lying. Fox hunting needs to be banned in Ireland.
This is the moment a fox is rescued after being trapped in a bag and buried alive.

Gloucestershire police are investigating the incident.

Do you teach the kids how the dogs are killed on the track ..running.. so that people can gamble? You really should teach them the truth. You could also teach them about the thousands killed every year because they are not fast enough or injured or the vet bills are too high.
I have always found it barbaric that we are not allowed to choose (If needed) a dignified end to our lives to end suffering. We give that gift to Animals that we love, but not each other. People should be allowed choose.
Alison wrote a powerful letter before travelling to Dignitas for an assisted death.
Her ideal death would have taken place in her own home, surrounded by the people she loved.
Instead, she was forced to travel hundreds of miles to a foreign country.

This is the Alflie Byrne road when the coaches could park on the footpath. The man circled in Blue is Blind and had to navigate past all those coaches and Bins the council put on the path for the gig. This was taken at that protest. This is why coaches should never park on paths.
On Newstalk now Pat is having a very good discussion about the scourge of cars mounting footpaths, parking on footpaths, blocking the footpaths. Sorry ,, it's my bad hearing again .. it's E-Scooters he is talking about.
Sinn Fein support fox hunting in Ireland. If and when they get into power they will continue to support foxes being torn apart alive so some wealthy people can get their kicks.
Well done to all out today protesting against this vile barbaric practice.
Hunting with dogs is still legal in Northern Ireland, thanks to Sinn Fein and the DUP who support bloodsports.

It should be illegal to charge more rent for pets. If damage is caused by pets than it can be deducted from the deposit .. kids will cause more damage to a property. Itโs not a revenue opportunity.
There is a link between abuse of animals and violence towards humans.
We want to break that link.

Rua loves picking up&carrying plastic bottles that we find on our runs and walks. His favourite are full ones ..which there are a surprising number of thrown away. At the end of the run/walk we bin them. I reckon he recycles about 800 bottles a year ! Get a dog,save the planet ๐
