An "I'm all right Jack" budget. #Budget2027 is for landlords, big business, and the armaments industry. Nothing for ordinary people to overcome the massive cost of living crisis that continues to get worse. More people struggling to put food on the table and heat their homes.

The minimum wage in Ireland is €551.85 per week Full-time carers allowance 24/7 is €270 per week Disability allowance is €254
After all the consultations and engagement with disabled people and their organisations, how did @fiannafailparty and @FineGael get the Cost of Disability payment so wrong?

You're having a fucking laugh. I can't tag the bastard because he's blocked me but #SimonHarris is a spineless fool who barely pays lip service to any marginalised community in this country with this rhetoric.
The Taninste just stated on @RTEOne that people with disabilities were the biggest winners in yesterday’s budget. What the actual…..

Millions have been invested in CHI spinal services. A dedicated Spinal Surgery Management Unit was established. Additional posts were funded, including administrative posts. ➡️ We were specifically told this Unit would monitor, manage and report on spinal waiting lists. #NTPF Now we are told those waiting lists are improving. Yet a mother whose child was due a planned 6-month #scoliosis review contacts OPD and is told he is on a waiting list, but they are “unable to advise on how long the wait will be.” How is that acceptable? @CarrollJennifer @SimonHarrisTD @MichealMartinTD Who holds the chronological list? #LucyNugent Who knows which children are overdue review? @npsoIRL Who is responsible for ensuring a clinically planned 6-month review actually happens? @HIQA And why aren’t the administrative staff dealing directly with families given the information and authority to tell a parent where their child stands and approximately how long they will wait? @AnneOConnorIRL Because without that information, how can a parent make an informed decision about their child’s healthcare? @CMOIreland Parents are not clinicians. They are not waiting-list managers. They should not have to understand the internal workings of @CHI_Ireland to secure care for their child. @CcoHse And let’s be very clear about claims that waiting lists are improving: ‼️ You cannot monitor progression in a child you are not seeing. ‼️ The system should be tracking the child. The parent should not have to track the system. @tivnana #PublicInquiryNow #justiceForHarvey #BackUs @SBH_PAG
Nothing has changed in CHI. I spent today having to ensure a scoliosis PROACTIVE approach to my child's care. hEDS child with minor curve due 6 month monitoring last month. Right in the midst of a growth spurt. Sister went from 16⁰ to 52⁰ in 11 months. No contact from CHI despite being told in March 2026 that a 6 month review was needed. Why wasn't it made then? All appointments should be through OPD reception. They had nothing and could not tell me how long he would wait on their 'waiting list'. So I had to contact the Spinal nurses...whose job is NOT appointments but clinical support only. Suddenly..within 3 hours....there was an appointment on the system for him for within a month. Like come on..why does a parent have to go to these lengths?

What a fucking joke. After the winter when it's less imperative to have that extra €500. Cunts.
The Minister for Social Protection has said that he wants the Government's new €500 cost-of-disability payment to come into effect by the end of next March or "as early as possible" rte.ie/news/business/2026/10…

@rtenews I want to contradict John Cummins comment just now regarding Disabled people and separating us from the working population. To be clear the cost of disability payment was to be a non-means tested standalone so the those of us working all our lives who also have exorbitant costs can have assistance in some small way. I’ve been paying the higher rate of tax for 35 years. And now we have another from Mr. Troy talking about our lives as if everybody is in a day service! This government is outrageously ableist and discriminatory.

This budget is an affront to the Disabilty and caring community. Gov has done nothing to help us other than a token gesture of €500 for PWD, nothing for carers and all when we are in a cost of living crisis. A year ago PWD, between energy support’s and cost of living payments were in receipt of €1380, it is now reduced to €500 after a year of no additional supports. Along with that inflation has gone through the roof and no one seems to want to question the elephant in the room which is why, when you used disability and caring as a platform for re-election you have utterly abandoned us? @NewstalkFM @rtenews @VirginMediaNews @RTERadio1

The State has a payment named for the cost of disability. After 20 years of campaigning, that principle has been won. But €500 a year is less than €10 a week. It covers less than 5% of the lowest estimate of the extra costs disabled people face. #Budget2027

This is absolutely fucking horrendous for people with disabilities in this country. A forgotten segment of society for too long. #fuckthisgovernment #budget2027
You cannot call a once off €500 payment a ‘cost of disability payment’. That isn’t anywhere near what is needed to meet the extra costs a lot of disabled people face. Not only that, they have tied it to those in receipt of another long term disability payment, completely forgetting that there are many people living with a disability and all those same extra costs but are not currently entitled to any of those support payments. Then to top it off, they’re now saying the permanent ‘cost of disability’ payment won’t be until 2028?! How can they say we live in a rich country but yet leave so many people in poverty?

Average families will get increase in income of around 1.4%. Inflation is running at over 3.5%. Instead of protecting people from the cost of living crisis, this #Budget2027 is going to mean more deprivation, more poverty and a harder struggle to get by.

God, Lanterns is really showing why people need yellow paint in games. I'm seeing people not understand show budgets because things aren't exploding every two mins. I'm seeing people not follow basic character arcs and dialogue. Literally saw someone ask how John became rich in 2026 when that very episode has him expositing what happened. I'm seeing people questioning why John didn't have a suit as if his entire character arc wasn't about him doing what others wanted of him but what he truly wants and on his terms; he is John Stewart before he's a Green Lantern. Like goddamn man

What an extraordinary historical own goal. Yes, Ireland played Nazi Germany. So did numerous European countries before the Second World War. And yes, the Irish team gave the Nazi salute in Bremen in 1939, an episode that looks appalling today and shouldn’t be whitewashed. But here’s the part you conveniently forgot. In 1936 it was the German team giving the Nazi salute at Dalymount Park, not the Irish team. Ireland then beat them 5–2. And one of the Irishmen who gave that salute in Germany in 1939 was Johnny Carey. Do you know what he subsequently did? He joined the British Army and fought against Nazi Germany. Nor was Ireland unique in this respect. England and other national teams also gave the Nazi salute or performed similar gestures at matches and official occasions in the 1930s, when sporting exchanges with Nazi Germany were still taking place. That context does not excuse the gesture, but it does make it absurd to present Ireland’s 1939 match as uniquely revealing of some supposed national sympathy for Nazism. So dragging up an 87-year-old football match to smear today’s Irish players is not the devastating historical argument you apparently think it is. More importantly, there’s a breathtaking irony in invoking the Nazis to silence criticism of the actions of a modern government. The lesson of the 1930s isn’t that governments should be immune from criticism because of their national or religious identity. It’s precisely the opposite, states, governments and armies must be judged by what they actually do. Ireland’s players lowering their heads harms nobody. You can dislike it. You can call it disrespectful. But reaching back to 1939 because you can’t cope with Irish footballers expressing disapproval of Israel’s conduct in 2026 isn’t an argument. It’s a diversion. And if your best defence of what Israel is doing today is “but look what some Irish footballers did before the Second World War”, you’ve rather spectacularly conceded the present-day argument. Disgraceful

Goofy fun should be goofy. This looks funny and I for one can't wait to see the shenanigans the game throws at players. #FF7R #FF7Revelations
Take a load off in the hot springs that have recently bubbled up out of the planet in Final Fantasy VII Revelation. Soaking in these waters will permanently increase your party’s max HP, provide you with unique outfits, and unlock special cutscenes!

I've had a lot of people reach out about PSN account thefts, looking for help getting their accounts back. Thank you for sharing your stories with me, but I can't help you recover your account. I have no contacts at Sony or PlayStation Support who can do that. Your best bet is to keep contacting PlayStation Support and keep sharing your story publicly and kicking up a storm on social media so it becomes a PR issue they can't ignore. Be wary of anyone offering to recover your account for a fee, or anyone DMing you claiming to be from Sony. My real hope is that mainstream outlets begin reporting on this to put pressure on Sony to make the necessary changes. Many of you have also asked how to secure your PSN account, and I'll try and post a simple guide on that this week. The failure is in Sony's own security processes, so there's little you can do to stop this entirely. One quick thing that makes it harder is to create a unique email address just for your PSN account, keep it completely private, and turn on 2FA for that email.
