I walked from Rathmines to Grand Canal dock today and there were quite a few tents - all the same brand - so some NGO must have provided them. Is there ever going to be an end to this insanity?

Where will the next one spring up? Action which should have been taken years ago has been taken at last to remove tented encampments off the streets but until we have border controls reintroduced it won't be long before a new wave of immigrants arrive. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2024/0509/14481...

I would look at home first - the Gardai are in as much danger of collapse as the PSNI. I often wonder how the Irish State and its security services would have coped if they had been under the same pressure as the RUC/PSNI for 30+ years. The Gardai have a manpower crisis, an equipment crisis, a moral...

I missed it last night as I would rather stick pins in my eyes that watch the Eurovision and I have even managed not to hear the song anywhere either. Who the f..k gives a damn about how Bambie Thug identifies and what has it got to do with the Eurovision? Why 'these' people feel that they are some ...

21.19 and after a prolonged bout of calling an unidentifiable Osprey touched down briefly beside the nest and vanished equally rapidly. Calm restored but possibly an intruder..

Things are not looking good at the Loch of the Lowes Osprey site as the male bird has gone AWOL for the last four days. No food means desperation for the female who will be forced to leave the nest unprotected while she goes fishing herself. Assuming the eggs hatch and still no return of the male wi...

You've got to hand it to Ciara Kelly, in this morning's programme in a segment on increasing spending on air travel etc. she said "a lot of people talk out of both sides of their mouths" and she should know.

The Government Ad - The Consent Conversation.....has there ever been a worse, more ridiculous advertisement. Obviously put together by one or more people who have never had sex........

Might be time to expel the UK ambassador

Might be time to expel McEntee too.

This morning back to the old staples - same sex schools, seagulls and neutrality......

As the saying goes, "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel", and the SNP and their their brothers in arms Plaid Cymru have nothing to offer except their hatred of the Union. Quite who would benefit from a break-up of the UK apart from Putin and other enemies of the West is hard to s...

Someone's been busy since I last looked in on the webcam!

Another enemy of the Union gone and good riddance.

Just how many fronts does the US think that it can 'fight' on? The Chinese fascist regime likely to try something against Taiwan an...

This one is particular stomach churning as it features "Mr.Woke" from Newstalk.
