The paradox highlights that insanity is a rational response to an insane situation, and trying to escape it proves you are not insane. Modern life #catch22

There are over 100,000 defects in the National Children's Hospital.... so far. The Dept cannot tell us if it will be open in 2027, 2028 or 2029. No one has lost their job, not least Simon 'It wasn't me' Harris, who signed the contract.

Three years on, the Dáil’s spending committee still has not questioned Dee Forbes. It has now been told it is not allowed to call her. That advice came from the Oireachtas legal office. That office sits under a body chaired by the Ceann Comhairle, with TDs and senators on it. independent.ie/videos/dail-s…

Lorsqu'on a demandé à Tchekhov quelle était la nature des sociétés défaillantes, il a répondu : "Dans les sociétés défaillantes, il y a mille sots pour chaque esprit éclairé, et mille paroles grossières pour chaque mot conscient. La majorité reste toujours ignorante, et l'homme raisonnable est constamment vaincu. Si vous voyez des sujets futiles dominer les discussions dans une société, et les sots occuper le devant de la scène, alors vous êtes en présence d'une société très défaillante. Par exemple, les chansons et les paroles vides de sens trouvent des millions de gens pour danser et les répéter, et le chanteur devient célèbre, connu et aimé. Au point que les gens prennent son avis sur les questions de la société et de la vie. Quant aux écrivains et aux auteurs, personne ne les connaît et personne ne leur accorde de valeur ou de poids. La plupart des gens aiment la futilité et l'anesthésie. Quelqu'un qui nous anesthésie pour nous éloigner de nos pensées, et quelqu'un qui nous fait rire avec des futilités, est meilleur que quelqu'un qui nous réveille à la réalité et nous fait mal en disant la vérité. C'est pourquoi la démocratie ne convient pas aux sociétés ignorantes, car c'est la majorité ignorante qui décidera de votre destin." Le monde littéraire.

This contradicts what Taoiseach Micheál Martin told me in my Fox News Digital interview. Martin said citizens get priority. "Our position is basically its citizens get priority," Martin said. See here:
"Citizenship is not a criteria, nor should it be": Tánaiste Simon Harris defends the fact that non-Irish citizens are eligible to receive social housing from the State.

Our ever capable and not at all ideologically captured Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee has increased International Aid funding by €14 million to €855 million. I hope that fact keeps you warm this winter when you can’t afford heating oil. 🥶 #budget2007

Immigration is the main driver of housing demand in both Ireland and Spain. It is long past time government slowed the pace of worker and student visa issuance to ease housing demand growth. It should not be controversial to say demand needs to managed, and it is certainly not anti-immigration never mind anti-immigrant.

I just asked Housing Minister James Browne what's the point of him investing billions of euros in social homes when many of them will just go to non-citizens. I also asked him if he thought the Irish State's primary duty was to Irish citizens. Video coming soon on @griptmedia.

I learned something very beautiful today. In French, “bibliothèque intérieure” means your “inner library” the invisible shelf you carry inside, filled with every story that’s ever shaped you.
