A 78-year-old woman (Cork) has been given a notice to leave the home she lived in since she was 15 yrs old.

An economic & financial hard landing has been my baseline for over a year now. Now it is clearly unavoidable. Economic stability & fighting inflation require raising policy rates much higher. But now financial stability risks require lower policy rates. So we will great a crisis
As I pointed out in my Bloomberg TV interview this morning the Credit Suisse crisis is a “Lehman moment” for European and global markets. “Too big to fail and too big to be saved”. It is not even clear what their various unrealized losses on securities and other assets are.

The file on the killing of my sister Julie (14) is closed until 2064. I told SoS Karen Bradley at a meeting that the guns that killed Irish children were tested on pigs. I gave her a picture. She looked and handed it back. I said keep it and told her: 'My sister was not a pig.'
In 1984 when Ireland was dirt poor my parents got a brand new council house in which to work and raise a family.
Almost 40 years later when Ireland is one of the wealthiest nations in the world people with good jobs are being told to present at Garda Stations with their children

I’ve become friends with a gorgeous Ukrainian woman who arrived as a refugee last year with her children. She’s so lovely; fun, hopeful and positive. Over the weekend a huge gang of Irish teens broke into the lobby of the building where they live and did a lot of damage. Then…
Dutch pay 2 to 7 times more tax than Irish Landlords, as taxes are based on the wealth assets not rental income
€2,037 - €7,448 is what Irish landlords pay on average monthly rents of €1,733
€14,397 is what Dutch landlords would pay on average house prices of €359k
🧮
How are Irish rental laws putting landlords off?
Netherlands has much stronger tenancy rights
-stricter rent controls sets max rents
-no evictions for sales
-higher taxes
Yet the rental market is still so attractive they had to ban landlords from buying existing homes to rent
20 years ago the murderous hand of the Serbian deep state killed our Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić.

Cork is my hometown, a city I adore deeply, a city of culture, arts, music and food, a city I try to portray through my images in its best light, but it’s becoming impossible to ignore the sheer neglect and dereliction of some of the properties in the city… we need to do better
קבוצת רעולי פנים ירדה מהמאחז חוות מעון ואחד מהם הלם עם אלה בראש של אזרחית אמריקאית בת 64, אמא לשניים מויסקונסן. הוא תקף אותה מאחור כאשר עמדה לבדה עם פעיל שלום נוסף מאיטליה, באדמה פלסטינית שעליה תושבי המאחז מנסים להשתלט לאחרונה. היא אושפזה ליומיים עם דימום פנימי וסדק בגולגולת. >
Travellers have been left stranded and unhoused, forced to sleep on the streets and in derelict sites. It's a shameful reminder of the failures of the government to provide basic necessities for those in need.
