PSNI has £5.5 million contract with Israeli company The PSNI has a £5.5 million contract with an Israeli company – but won’t release the name or nature of the contract partly because of “national security” concerns.

It also says releasing the details would likely endanger the safety of individual officers

An Israeli fund backs one of Ireland’s biggest landlords, but who else? As the government courts more international money for Ireland’s rental sector, tenants say they want more transparency around who they are renting from.

And still the legal system of that country can't spell, or even capitalise, his name correctly 🤷‍♂️ There's just such a distance to be travelled in the relations between the British and Ireland.

To paraphrase Withnail, it was clear the aim was to make it "free to those who can afford it, very expensive for everyone else"

CJEU press release:
Member State legislation which does not permit the amendment of the
gender data of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to
freedom of movement is contrary to EU law
A Bulgarian national was registered at birth as being male, with a name, personal identification number and identity documents corresponding to that sex. She currently lives in Italy, where she has begun hormone therapy, and now presents herself as a woman.
She instituted proceedings before the Bulgarian courts seeking a declaration that she is a female person and to have her civil status data amended on her birth certificate. Despite the medical opinions and legal assessments confirming the gender identity claimed, her request was rejected.
According to national legislation, as interpreted by the plenary assembly of civil chambers of the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation, the term ‘sex’ must be understood in its biological sense, excluding any amendment of the particulars relating to sex, name and identification number. The public interest, based on the moral and/or religious values of Bulgarian society, thus prevails over the interests of transgender persons.
Hearing the dispute, the Bulgarian Supreme Court of Cassation has doubts as to the compatibility of that legislation with EU law and has referred the matter to the Court of Justice.
In its judgment, the Court holds that EU law precludes legislation of a Member State which does not permit the amendment of the gender data in the civil status registers of one of its nationals who has exercised his or her right to move and reside freely in another Member State.
The Court emphasises first of all that, while the issue of identity documents falls within the competence of the Member States, they must exercise that competence in compliance with EU law...

Huge trans rights ruling from the EU's top court - if someone moves to another EU country and transitions, their home country can't refuse to amend their registration details to match their lived gender identity
