Alcohol prices here in Spain. So low and yet the masses are not falling around the streets drunk. Minimum prices are a scam and failure.

People blaming the government on the recent surge in case numbers. Bullshit. This increase is the sole responsibility of people and their behaviours. You either exercise responsibility or you don’t. Stop passing the buck.

Many BOI customers yesterday took out cash in the good faith belief they had this money.
Some will now face high cost unauthorised overdraft fees & upcoming bills going unpaid until it is cleared.

I drove 600 km today from Dublin to Galway and didn’t pass 1 patrol car or 1 speed camera van. I was overtaken by so many cars at high speed on the motorway, on their phones. Road safety is a mess. There is currently no deterrent.

What was very telling about the public accounts committee and media committee yesterday was the poor calibre of some elected people in this country. Babbling, incoherent and plain dumb. Some couldn’t string a proper question together. Need to up our game on who we elect.
Micheál Martin has just announced a fundamental shift in Irish Foreign Policy stating he will abolish the Triple-lock which underpins our neutrality.
Removing UN mandate for engagement in military missions will undermine the neutrality that Irish people overwhelmingly value.

Indeed. However we shouldn’t penalise everyone with such a broad stroke. If it was a tax and the money spent on health then well and good. However it’s not. It’s just increased retailer profit

The pub outside the cities is much more than a watering hole. It’s a focal point of rural life. Almost like a community centre. The loneliness amongst the older people must be unbearable at this stage.
Just stopped outside a local pub. 20 people huddled under a gazebo. Lashing rain. Would you honestly be bothered? If this is what an outdoor summer consists of I think il give it a miss.

That minimum pricing was for health benefits. It’s not. It just penalises poorer people and increases the products of retailers. None of the extra revenue is a tax ring fenced for the health service.
On this day 100 years ago, the fighting stopped between a small country and an empire. The bigger they are the harder they fall. Remember those who gave their lives for Irish freedom.
