"The €100 fee will be charged to funeral directors but the site says it will remain free for users" This in effect translates to "The Irish Times Group receives €100 every time someone in Ireland dies". Which is pretty grim to consider. #SpeirGorm www.thejournal.ie/rip-introduc...

Wow. This post from @thelondoneconomic.bsky.social has been shared 11,300 times & has 60,400 likes on @bsky.app. On X it has just 8 shares & 13 likes (despite a much larger following). Don’t tell me Musk isn’t throttling accounts. Thankfully the forecast going forward is BlueSky’s.

It’s notable that in all the border constituencies Sinn Fein topped the polls in first preferences which shows that border communities are tired of living with the realities of partition.

Carlow-Kilkenny one to keep an eye out for. The 2 returning FF TDs are heavily odds on; the other 3 seats are open. If SF are to be the largest party they probably need 2 here. If FG win 2 here they're likely doing well overall. And a must win for the Soc Dems if they're to make a breakthrough.

7:40am and the Fine Gael press office put the first call of the day into the RTE editorial desk just to set the agenda for the day. I’m kidding. Obviously, they don’t call until 8:30am at the earliest xx

We've endured Fine Gael's 'experience' - it's resulted in adults living at home with parents, astronomical hikes in the cost of living, days on trollies in hospital, our young people emigrating for better in their thousands. Those who can, leave. Éire bocht. FF and FG out!

“We have exchanges all the time” This is Paschal Donohoe confirming that Fine Gael tried (successfully?) to shape the way RTE covered Simon Harris’s disastrous interaction with carer, Charlotte Fallon. As the Gaelers say, Chilling.
