Shelbourne fans calling for apartheid Israel to be shown the red card at their game against St. Pat's on Friday night. The message from Irish football supporters is loud and clear, no playing apartheid. The FAI must boycott the Nations League fixtures, respect the Palestinian picket line #BanIsrael

Dozens of our readers say they were evicted shortly before the new rental rules came in “I received an eviction notice on Friday – just one week before the change. I’ve barely slept since,” one reader said.

This law to increase rents has had the completely foreseen side effect of also increasing evictions (so the landlords can put up rents).

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

I’d be interested to know the demographic of those interviewed for this survey - in my area the active travel scheme is gone to the extreme no one I know is backing it - interesting this is one of the extremely rare articles The Irish Times put up for free talk about shaping a narrative #speirgorm

Piece of advice for those caught up in the middle east countries that are being attacked by Iran:

Your basic holiday insurance more than likely is now void due to war related disruption.

Advise that you check with your insurer immediately and get additional cover now.

As a tiny country, international law is all we've got. It's not a lot but at least it's something.
Ireland fails to defend it at its peril.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

Hard to believe, that the final episode of the TV series M*A*S*H — that was watched by approx 106 million viewers — aired 43 years ago today.
My gosh.

The consequences that will face Ireland & the FAI if there is a boycott in comparison to the consequences faced by the Dunnes Stores workers

Ireland v Israel game confirmed for Dublin’s Aviva Stadium in October FAI chief executive David Courell says security concerns around hosting Nations League fixture have been allayed by An Garda Síochána

Imagine playing sports with any other country engaged in mass ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and genocide?

It stopped with apartheid South Africa, which wasn't even as bad.

*Full* boycott of Israel NOW: sports, cultural, academic, trade, and investment links.

I see South Dublin Co Co have turned a green into a carpark to house plant machinery & of course free parking for contractors as they destroy traffic flow to try force everyone else out of their cars -

One rule for them ….

‘The water will take a car and sweep it away’: Connemara river at centre of flooding row Locals near Kylemore Bridge in Co Galway have faced the problem for years, which they say is partly due to environmental rules

The Connemara hills suffer some of the worst overgrazing in Ireland. Protect the bogs, restore the forests, you'll see peak flooding decrease...

I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time and effort, together with a cohort of volunteers and other lawyers, challenging the EU’s carve out for mass surveillance by mobile phone data.

It was successful and half a billion people have more privacy as a result.

Thanks but It should not be this hard it’s deliberate and local government in my view is becoming incredibly undemocratic

Local Government in this country is becoming authoritarian there is little public engagement and absolutely no accountability and it’s only going to get worse
