This isn't a farmer's protest. And it isn't organic. They're paying for adverts. Every spokesman (and they're all men) for the protests is either a contractor, works in haulage, or some kind of automotive service, and some are social media influencers. Actual farmers are really busy in the spring.

Remember there is no free parking in Dublin today. It’s a bank holiday and not a public holiday. A feast day for the clampers.

So much for the "narrow interests" which the government says use judicial review. When they went out and asked people what they thought 1,470 asked for Access to Justice to be upheld, only 30 sided with the government So which interest is the "narrow interest"?

This will be due to less people travel and not any cap. Many people reporting less than full flights to and from USA. ATC capacity for current number of flights on both sides also a possibility.

If we end up seizing a vessel then we will have to cover the cost of storing it. The MV Matthew has cost the taxpayer millions. We would also need a watertight legal basis.

An appalling proposal is hidden at the end of the Government’s Bill on the airport cap; it would exclude decisions under the legislation from the current obligation on almost all public bodies to consider their climate impact and to be consistent with climate objectives.

This was a dumb and stupid move by Gannon, someone whose point of view I would generally be interested in. It just shows you how dis and misinformation moves as it uses inherent bias and prejudices. His party should also take disciplinary action.

What a wildly stupid idea. Mandatory helmets and high viz is a proven remedy to reduce the number of people cycling. It effectively kills off things like Dublin Bikes. That's why no other EU country does anything like this. Pure madness.
