TRSI 169 - God be with the days when I could whore myself out

With Labour's citizenship bill back in the news we're talking: the law of blood, the law of soil, and the law of gifts; the 27th amendment; anchor babies; and the Chen v Home Secretary case.

TRSI 168 - Unfortunately Candy Mountain is still zoned for industrial usage

Carlow falls gracefully into the memory hole; 2,000 cancers 'missed' due to COVID-19; politicians cry about the death of rough sleepers whilst making sure no homes can actually be built; and we will soon be free for Christmas in a very specific and limited way.

TRSI 167 - The wickedness of these people knows no bounds

Amnesty Ireland are saying a letter they signed has been "decontextualized", and so we're recontextualized it; teachers in a school in Carlow are being called pedophiles after a spate of reports in national media, but none of the reports actually seem to contain any proof that anything happened in the school; Fianna Fail seems to have either forgotten how to build houses or to have decided they're aren't enough homeless people; and Seamus Woulfe, the harbinger of destruction, is bringing down a core committee of the Dail.

TRSI 166 - Tripping over the low bar

TRSI 165 - Cromwell

A new study has said that doctors are being told palliative care will not be provided for infants who survive abortions; and the guards are really, really trying not to arrest a priest for holding mass.

TRSI 164 - The key to international relations is knowing how to troll an entire country

The Criminal Justice Hate Crime bill was debated in the Seanad yesterday; Dublin City Council Councillors discovered they actually love people being homeless; and China moves to the trolling America stage of diplomatic relations.

TRSI 163 - We need more rhetoric about the need to move away from rhetoric

It's that time of the year where we talk about the gender pay gap and why women aren't working the rest of the year for free. Also a short aside on Micheál Martin's issues with hanging a painting.
