There's a parallel universe not too far from here where SeĂĄn Gallagher is leaving the Ăras after 14 glorious years of saying "business" a lot, sharing inspirational quotes on the Ăras an UachtarĂĄin LinkedIn page every day, and promising to learn Irish during his retirement.

Ireland disinformation update: Reddit locked down one of the most-used parts of its platform in Ireland (r/ireland, claiming 1.2m members) due to what moderators called a âwave of new and inactive accounts spreading disinformation and hate speech connected to recent events.â

My favourite Barry Cryer story is his account of Nicholas Parsons asking Ross Noble who his favourite comedian was. "Richard Pryor" Noble replied, "Genius! So sad he set himself on fire while freebasing crack cocaine". Parsons, visibly upset, asked Barry later: "did you hear about Richard Briers?"

I can understand why a company that gets commission from selling airport taxis, airport parking, airport coach tickets and car rentals may not want to compete with a metro. But MetroLink is about much more than Ryanair's business strategy or even the airport itself.

He wrote a follow up letter to the Irish Times on Wednesday claiming again that there's been no cost benefit analysis done on the project. This is simply false and it undermined the public confidence in a vital transport project. He can't say he didn't know anymore.

I delivered the 700 page business case and cost benefit analysis for MetroLink to Michael O'Leary's office yesterday. O'Leary said on RTĂ Radio that thereâs been no cost-benefit analysis done on Metrolink which was then repeated on multiple news outlets.

This is my view on generative AI. It's perfectly possible to be entertained by typing things in and seeing what absurd things come out. But seeing the output of other people's prompts is nauseating.
