“He lives here with his partner Chloe and two kids - Wylder & Wren”

Any lad christening their kids with these monikers doesn’t deserve a vote

I’d say most of them running in the by-election are half wits. Sure most were probably already rejected by the electorate not that long ago. It will be a big blow to Mary Lou and SF if they cant win this seat.

I think this says more about your own ignorance and how influenced you are by online bedwetters than anything else. He topped the poll in the North Inner City in 2024 which is no mean feat for someone from FG I’d say. He seems to be pretty popular locally and very proactive on the council.

I doubt he has a snowballs chance in this one but he’d be pretty well positioned for a General which is, again, good going for someone from FG in that area.

No different to any of their candidates in any other consituency so. The party of people who get their news from bots in Twitter reply sections.

Pretty bleak for a sector we have a natural competitive advantage in. Supermarkets being required to publish their profits might make a difference.

The agriculture and food economy empowers richer producers, processors, exporters and established organisations and loads fuel price risk on to more vulnerable freelance suppliers of on-farm services. The agri-food sector represents about 8 per cent of the Republic’s GDP and 6 per cent of its workforce; the 12 per cent of dairy farms, maybe 18,000 in all, are the most capital intensive and highest earning, while the far more numerous beef sector adds no net value after EU subsidies, is owned by older men – many working off-farm – and faces long-term decline.

Can you throw up the full article

Thought it was way lower than 8%

Good news about beef nonetheless

Pay for journalism guys

No, mainstream media in Ireland is now funded directly with taxpayers cash. Any such publication can GF themselves

CoimisiĂșn na MeĂĄn is very generous with our taxes and is funding journalism being published in most papers I have read over the past year or so

Don’t forget that RTE also have close to €1 billion of taxpayers cash committed to them under a government programme

The west used to laugh at government funded news, not government demands media keep in line as gratitude for their funding (with the voters taxes)

And don’t forget this clown Patrick O’Donovan and his demand for media bias

But you carry on with your misinformation

I wasn’t referring to RTÉ. There is no paywall to RTÉ

So deal with the first section of my response

That is a contribution but it is not close to covering the costs of journalism in the modern era. It is good to fund free thinking journalism in a free speech environment

Now explain to me why you chose to muddy the waters with the rest?

It’s the thin end, the start, journalism should be independent, it’s not, they’re BOUGHT and therefore CGFT

You’re right, we as a society should stand back and allow journalism die. Because once you allow everyone access it for free that’s where it will go.
