Really have to wonder about these vaguely anti-ev stories on the RTE website. In this case a little more research wd reveal that most ev owners in Irl charge for as little as 0.7c per kwh hr between eg 2 and 5.00 am. That fact blows quite a hole in the thrust of the article. Very odd.

Rinne mé mo chéad rang Gaeilge do thosaitheoirí sa Nua-Shéalainn anocht, ar líne. Bhí deichniúr sa rang. Cé go raibh mé beagáinín neirbhíseach ar dtús, ceapaim gur éirigh go maith leis.

Silver lining, but this is hilarious "We didn’t wait 20 years for Bobby to finally speak and then get served Tylenol as an answer," anti-vaccine group Georgia Coalition for Vaccine Choice wrote."

Yup.

Telling their story helps rescue them from the condescension of history and as with all colonial legacies listening to and telling stories is an important step towards the acknowledgement of historic injustice.

‘Many of Kneecap’s international fans, before listening to them, hadn’t realised that the Irish language exists at all – and that far from a dialect of English, it has roughly the same lexical distance from it as Russian.’ @naoisedolan.bsky.social on the blog: www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2025/ju...

During their Oval Office visit, Merz gives Trump a copy of his grandfather's birth certificate from Kallstadt in Bavaria. But he doesn't give Trump a copy of the decree of Feb 27, 1907 signed by Prince Regent Luitpold in which his grandfather was ordered deported from Bavaria as a moral degenerate.

🌊 Europe’s waters are in crisis - and intensive farming is a key culprit! Manure & nutrient runoff fuel dead zones, yet Member States fail to act. The EU must uphold and implement vital water protections!💩☠️ All eyes on the EU's Water Resilience Strategy, to be published this week💧👀 @politico.eu 👇

Looks like a HUGE crowd assembling in Dublin City centre to protest against Israel’s genocidal assault on civilian population of #Gaza, march heads off shortly.

⚡️ 'It was my duty to step down' — Former US Ambassador to Ukraine confirms resignation over Trump's policy. Former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink accused the Trump administration of prioritizing pressure on Ukraine, the victim of Russia's war, rather than confronting the Kremlin.

great points made in this article on corporate funding of higher education, though I am surprised to find that it the associated paper omits two of the biggest examples of corporate capture of Irish research... #speirgorm www.thejournal.ie/readme/fundi...

There was a lot of hyperbole about the trade deal today, especially linking it to the importance of something like VE day. The truth is, from the UK point of view, it’s better than where we were 24 hours ago, but still altogether less good than where we were pre-Trump 2.
