TRSI 176 - Stand up and fall down for your principles

A new report on hate speech and hate crime recommends expansive new hate speech and hate crime laws, but contains nothing on protecting free expression; a medical body has called for gambling on sports to be banned; and China has adopted an American tradition and started using forced labour to pick cotton.

TRSI 175 - Kill one as a warning to the others

TDs, maternity leave, and the defrauding of expenses; unconscious bias training is on the way out in the UK, but still popular in Irish government departments; the government just spent 140,000 euro of public money on trying to get favoured people elected; and the need to destroy An Taisce for the good of the country.

TRSI 173 - Oh that Caravaggio

Families are now apologizing for the opinions of their dead relatives; the fairest option is to allow the COVID-19 vaccine to be sold on the private market; and is giving TDs maternity leave just a way of making it easier for TDs to defraud the public?

TRSI 172 - Another NGO betrays its mission

Maybe people wouldn't have to live 12 to a room if we'd let developers actually build anything in Dublin; working from home is just the middle stage of a process which ends with your job outsourced to Uzbekistan; and we've been reading the submissions to the Gender Equality Citizen's Assembly, so that you don't have to.

Sunday Reflection 40 - The beginning of the good news

Father Luuk Jansen, from St Mary’s Church in Cork, brings us his Sunday Reflection. This week he discusses the call to prepare the way for the Lord and make his path straight.

TRSI 171 - It's not like anyone actually reads Dail debates

Is it fair to say the government voted against paying student nurses? How is the Tavistock judgement being reported in Irish media;  it should not be national news that a foreigner said something negative about Ireland; and a new NGO promises to free us of the far-right.

TRSI 170 - You say that like a man who'd love to be slapped with some tariffs

In a new low bar for democratic participation you can now defend democratic norms and stand up to China by getting tanked on Australian wine; the Tavistock clinic judgement and why you should probably collect some data if you're going to give puberty blockers to 10 year olds; and does the tendency of mainstream political parties to attack SF for its links to the IRA actually work at all?
