If musicians, who typically live with a more precarious income than most, can quit a high paying gig with Sheeran on principle, professional footballers with a job to go back to can boycott the Israel game. Stop the game, cowards #stopthegame

Sisters . . . No Way! 30th Anniversary Edition
30 years ago, The O'Brien Press published a book called Sisters ... No Way!. It had two front covers. Opposing takes on the same story, told from the POVs of two girls who were definitely NOT sisters. You read whichever one you wanted to first, and then flipped the book over and got the other side of the story. And then flipped back to read to read the first one again, now that you knew how it looked through the other not-sister's eyes.

Ireland’s homelessness crisis has deepened over the last decade, and there’s still no sense of urgency from Government.
Today, the latest figures reveal that 17,527 people were living in emergency accommodation in July 2026.

The Dáil’s emergency session sat for 1hr 45mins.
44mins later the latest homelessness statistics came out and they confirmed what I said this morning, a shameful new record of 17,527 people who are officially homeless.
But they’re not an emergency.
That’s on us as well as the government.

Could Cork City Council get its act together and provide a route to Tramore Valley Park from Ballyphehane? It's starting to feel personal. I had to drive to the park to get 2 kids there safely.
