Good article for those interested in data & proper journalistic analysis eg “since 2020, State pop up 6.6% vs public sector up 15.8%”. Goodbody’s Chief Economist says “surpluses hide creeping spending indiscipline”. Hopefully ⁦Cormac Lucey - Independent candidate, Blackrock⁩ can’t say 1 day, “I told you so”?

Here's a beautiful story of an Irish postman called Mike Sheehan, who cycled up to 30 miles a day for 42 years delivering post around Goleen in West Cork. While other postmen opted for cars and motorbikes because of the steep mountainous terrain, Mike never changed. His son…

I see the Irish Times is doing the 'warming faster than the rest of the world' story again.

Just a reminder: Whereever you live on earth, you get this story about your locality.

Meet The Candidate - Ep. 1: Nick Delehanty
