Michael Healy Rae is like Ireland’s version of MAGA. Elected by dopes to ‘stick it to the elites up in Dublin’ all while being a multi millionaire grifter.

I was reading a thing recently about consumer sentiment in the US – even though the economy is objectively flying, people aren’t feeling it, and actually sentiment about the economy is as bad as during recessions.
I’d say there’s a bit of that in a lot of first world countries at the moment – some form of housing, cost of living, etc, crisis’ ongoing at the same time, and wondering if AI is going to eat your job, and Donald is going to get us all killed in the morning.
So… I’d just stick to reading the funny pages!

Well sure isn’t it great being in an apparently unsolvable housing crisis and being governed by our landlord overlords.

The misery will continue until morale improves.

Healy-Rae isn’t a landlord, he “puts people in housing” (his words).

35 out of 174 TDs is not a high percentage. And a few of those just owned farm land or rented a room in their own property.

Imagine not having enough school places for special needs kids. Surely anyone with half a brain cell could see this coming with the waiting lists for AONs in Ireland. Why isn’t leaving special needs kids with no school places not a complete crisis for this government?
Absolutely shameless to be leaving kids behind. As usual the government will blame the NCSE and the NCSE will blame the Department of Education and nothing will change.
The media jumped on the SNA bit which caused a bit of uproar but this seems to be just everyone accepting our own incompetence.

That spelling of dose does trigger me.
