Personally, I think news attention shouldn't be on snobs drinking cans in tents in Trinity and breaking the law for acceptable attention, and should be on actual on people dying.

Just me

How more towns don't do this is beyond me. I think of my own home in Athy. Place with a stunning castle, lovely square, nice river and canal, but literally nothing allowed outside walls of pubs and cafes. What a shame and a waste to locals and the economy. Same all over.

Ordinary people in Wicklow protesting? Get the riot police.

Rich kids in Trinity breaking actual law? Solidarity.

One of the things that made me proud to be Irish was neutrality and peace. We've an outsized weight in modern world and should have used it to be brutal and unerring in a search for ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine. Instead, we didn't. That is a terrible waste of what we should be.

This is the problem with Tik Toc politics. Sure, most people have strong opinions on this. And they should. But at a ballot box people want solutions to their own struggles, not what is trending.

The standard of Waterford-Tipperary so far is atrocious. I get you've to claim Munster hurling games are intense and amazing and what not, but the skill set is woeful here. The amount of basic mistakes would be maligned elsewhere.

I know we can't question great players, but win or lose, Galway are a really badly managed and coached team. They've no identity, tactics, style or improvement under Henry Shefflin.

Well done Deta Hedman. Cost herself money, opportunity and prestige by refusing to play biological men in women's darts. Courage that takes is big, but importance is bigger. A leader.

Why is the Book of Kells in Trinity? Shouldn't one of our most famous documents be in a national museum, as opposed to being used by a taxpayer-recieving business to drive profit? Now would seem a good time to remove what is ours to help people as opposed to help elites.

Why doesn't he complain to his diplomat parents. Yet one more spoilt rich kid, getting the best of everything, looking for attention, before slipping back into the system. It's fucking pathetic and these are the people that destroyed the left and our values. Abhorrent.

My views on Palestine are well known. However, I always get the feeling that Irish college kids just copy what the US does for attention rather than any greater good. Trinity looks bad too but not really sure how cans in a tent in Dublin and four deck chairs against a door help.

Sinn Fein bemoaning violence? Ps this is what you get with them. Pointing at a fringe to ignore fair wishes of vast majority and skirt around the real issue. Cheap and easy politics and more of the same.
