https://www.rte.ie/news/munster/2026/0310/1562588-limerick-hospital-site/ A site for a new hospital facility in Limerick has been acquired by the HSE for €14 million, in close proximity to University Hospital Limerick (UHL). Minister for Health Jennifer Carroll MacNeill has confirmed the acquisitio...

Some of them are slated to be used on the 310 in Limerick, with Bus Eireann having just (20th April) taking over the route from Dublin Coach. So that's something. Also, unlike Dublin Coach, they will accept cash payment as well as Leap cards.

I the words of the immortal poet, "a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest".

I, for one, would rather the opposite.

Meet the new republic; just like the old republic.

Meanwhile Sinn Fein return to 1914 wi5h ''neither King nor Kaiser'. FFS.

I admit I used AI to get the following figures but they clearly indicate that well over a quarter of Ireland's 400,000 public servants have been recruited since 2014 and are presumably for the most part under 40 so in the cohort 'still living in their parents' boxrooms'. This would include almost h...

That EU loan for Ukraine is back on, despite the best efforts of Orban and Fico who now seems to have folded (not to mention the tuppence worth thrown in by our own 'left' MEP' s). https://www.independent.ie/world-news/explainer-how-will-the-eus-90bn-loan-to-ukraine-work/a563093338.html It's about ...

I never mentioned pedophilia or ephebophilia. You made a flippant general remark asking how much consideration should be given to references in “sexual abuse of minor” cases. I pointed out that this category will include ridiculous cases of 18 and almost 17 year olds sleeping with one another, in w...

Teacup, meet storm.

RTE news : President signs International Protection Bill into law

http://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/042 ... -of-state/

That pretty much sums up the problem and the solution. I can’t help feeling that the lack of interest in the issue explains why it continues though. I mean, I know this site moves slowly, but there have been, what? two posters actually posting anything substantive on this? Apart from that there’s b...

RTE news : Donald Trump says Iran ceasefire extended

http://www.rte.ie/news/middle-east/2026 ... ddle-east/

Could you explain how that comment is qualitatively different to someone pointing out that “once again” the abuser is an Asian immigrant? Is that not exactly the same mind set, but just with different “bogey man” groups to hate on? Largely because the dissonance between the beliefs expressed and th...

Once again, the abuser was a good, god-fearing Xtian, I see.

How safe is Starmer’s premiership after his Mandelson vetting statement to MPs? On Tuesday at 9am, the witness for the defence will take the stand: Robbins at the foreign affairs select committee. So far there is no hint that he will come before the chair Emily Thornberry with a smoking gun, but pr...

If anything, I think Walz is understating things.…login to view the rest of this post

That's assuming they're not in the next govt, along with their new BF Mary Lou. The problem with the 'United Left'' is that it's not united and its main component is only 'left' on certain days of the week. The notion of the four lads serving under our first ever female taoiseach has a certain appe...

Speaking of thuggery, it's nice to see some on the left prepared to call it out. No doubt a strong statement will soon follow from the leader of the main opposition party. 😁 https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/soc-dems-lodge-formal-complaint-as-helen-mcentee-accuses-independent-ireland-tds-of-mis...

These people are all batshit.

At least some on the left seem to be prepared to call out what's going on. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026/04/14/fintan-otoole-rule-of-the-breakfast-roll-atariat-this-is-how-irelands-far-right-movement-will-emerge/ https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/04/14/live-fuel-protests-ireland-tra...
