It found Lowry “not only influenced, but delivered, the result” of the mobile phone licence won by Denis O’Brien, that he engaged in a “cynical and venal abuse of office”, and in relation to another matter with Ben Dunne was “profoundly corrupt to a degree that was nothing short of breathtaking”.

We need a no fault eviction ban. We need a state construction company to build public housing. We need meaningful rent controls to reduce rents. We need a massive movement on housing! #HousingCrisis #SpéirGhorm

Gaza, January 5th 2015. The only survivor from an 11-member-family. Wounded Child, No Surviving Family #WCNSF (Support Dignity for Palestine if you can www.patreon.com/posts/117612...)

The government’s swift action prevented the snow from falling in Dublin, disappointing many kids, but crucially showing our tech and financial services sector know that they have their backs. Sorry, just writing my Newstalk opening monologue

Img 1: A pic from this morning by Maha Hussaini in Gaza of an abandoned kids hopscotch board etched in the sand. Img 2. Oh Rascal Children of Gaza by Khaled Juma. Written during the Israeli bombardment of 2014, that killed 547 children. (it always breaks my heart)

Yesterday was a lovely day, prime rib of Irish beef, 90 minutes later it was resting and perfect medium-rare.

@philipnolan.bsky.social I hope that you and your sister had a wonderful time together over New Year and wish you the very best for 2025.

Nice little breakfast en route to Frankfurt on my favourite inter-European airline, #Lufthansa, this morning, but what’s with the paper napkin 🤷🏻‍♂️

Off to #Japan next March on business, haven’t been since going to the F1 Grand Prix in Suzuka a few years back. Great deal flying out with Swiss return with Lufthansa, hotels booked in #Tokyo and #Kyoto - bringing Mission Control with me this time. Fond memories.

All EU Member States and all EU candidates (except Ukraine and Turkey) are parties to the Rome Statute. @vonderleyen an immediate end to the trade agreement with Israel is justified and warranted. Sanctions must be issued. You have no excuses left 🤬

Today RTE will have news of a medical shelter in Gaza self-imploding interspersed with reports of hilarity from Micheal Martin’s ice bucket challenge and a wellbeing influencer explaining why just looking at pictures of Simon Harris improves your mental health.

I spoke to a mother last night and the hoops she has had to go through for her child - she had to call every day for NINE MONTHS just to get to speak to someone.

It’s colder out there than a Simon Harris handshake. But those are exactly the type of cool hands we want leading and guiding our economy | latest by me in today’s Irish Times

Next episode of #BadSisters to watch this evening.

In one image Fine Gael run an attack ad on Sinn Féin’s plans for addressing poverty. In the other a 5yr old boy who is living in homeless accommodation eats off cardboard on the streets of Dublin. Vote accordingly.

Had a mildly combative conversation with Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan as part of the #EchoChamberPod #GE2024 coverage. I’m told it’s good. Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/7LAz...

Doctors Without Borders teams in #Sudan are treating war-wounded patients with catastrophic injuries and providing humanitarian aid and medical care. More than 11 million have been displaced by the current conflict, including over 3 million who have fled to countries like Chad & South Sudan.

A yellow warning for entire country now from 8pm Tuesday to 10am Wednesday for low temperature ice warning. An icy mess for many areas Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
