Apparently seeing a out of date insurance disc for weeks or months isn't reminder enough that you need car insurance so you'll get a slap on the wrist when you claim you need the car for work. .

Tick, tock... "On January 27, 2026, the Doomsday Clock was set at 85 seconds to midnight, the closest the Clock has ever been to midnight in its history." You might have missed it as its annual change was announced the day before the Iran War started.

Defending rejection of RSA reform, Minister O’Brien uses abandoned 30km/h default speed limit as example of progress
Defending the rejection of suggested reforms of the Road Safety Authority (RSA) this morning, the Minister for Transport, Darragh O'Brien, used the now-abandoned 30km/h default speed limit approach as an example of progress on road safety. At the Oireachtas' Joint Committee on Transport, he also cited the improved driver test time as an example of progress within the RSA, but consultants paid for by the Department of Transport highlighted that testing was among a "range of complex nationwide customer services" that were a distraction from the authority's claimed main function of reducing deaths and injuries.

It's one thing to highlight a bonkers claim in a headline, but the article does no such thing; it implies that Chornobyl claims are somehow reasonable concerns (spoiler: they are not). Questions need to be asked about the Local Democracy Reporting scheme.
