It is good to see the government putting money into public libraries to improve them. I know lightboxes sound silly; I thought so at first, but after looking into it, they appear to be effective.

Nick Moloney1 year ago

A bright idea, but what about addressing the deeper issues? While light boxes are being rolled out to help with the winter blues, the reality is that many in Ireland are battling far deeper issues—like excess deaths, healthcare neglect, and the housing crisis. Short-term solutions are helpful, but they don’t fix the systemic failures that continue to harm the Irish public every day. It’s time for the government to focus on lasting change, not just temporary fixes. #IrelandExposed #AccountabilityMatters #JusticeForAll #SystemicFailure

Almost 60% of people in emergency accommodation in Ireland are foreign. Our housing crisis is solved by making the Irish a priority, not a minority. Ireland is our home, these people have to go back to their home. 6 out of every 10 homes in Dublin will go to foreign people - it's unsustainable! Our only obligation is to secure the future of the Irish people in Ireland!

🪨 Irishman revives the ancient sport of stone lifting David Keohane searches for boulders across Ireland — on beaches, in fields, and even in cemeteries. He believes each stone carries its own story and “memory of place.” In the past, stones were lifted at memorial ceremonies, harvest festivals, and during the inauguration of a new chieftain. According to Keohane, lifting a stone to your knees made you a champion — to your chest, a legend. Interest in the tradition is growing: competitions are already being held, and a stone-lifting studio has opened in Dublin.

Only in Ireland!😡 In the midst of a housing crisis—17,517 people, including 5,571 children, are relying on emergency accommodation—and with rents and house prices unaffordable to the vast majority, there are still so many derelict and vacant buildings throughout Ireland. Here is one example in Dublin; in my visualisation, the red blocks represent some of the derelict and vacant sites along Upper and Lower Ormond Quay in Dublin City. #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #Dublin #Ireland

Something nefarious is happening in Ireland. Thousands of strange foreign men are being placed in military style camps across the country. People are living in fear and confusion as masked foreign men patrol rural Ireland and bark orders to locals.
