I understand the expense not aligning with social housing caps but in such cases we need an alternative funding source/plan that recognises the social, community & cultural value of regeneration of vacant/derelict buildings, doing nothing isn’t an option www.irishtimes.com/ireland/dubl...

@sport.rte.ie Tony O'Donoghue said on the @news.rte.ie (6.1) that bringing the 🇵🇸 flag to the 🇮🇪 v 🇮🇱 match would be treated as bringing a political symbol, it would be removed & a fine issued. Why is this so when you can bring the 🇮🇪 /🇮🇱 flags to the same match?? Are these not also political symbols?

Temperature drop noted 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ looking forward to blue skies replacing the consistent grey 🌤️
