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?

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.

Sunday Reflection 39 - Advent Sunday

Father Luuk Jansen, from St Mary’s Church in Cork, brings us his Sunday Reflection. This week he discusses how we need to live our lives so that we are ready to meet Jesus at any time.

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

Amnesty Ireland and the National Women's Council of Ireland have signed a letter saying that women with gender critical views should be stripped of political representation; if you're producing pornography and your material is leaked you've got a copyright issue, not a criminal case; and how the hate crime bill became news.
