Thousands of kids have no school bus spot as Govt says it can't afford it. If we taxed Facebook for data they mine from kids on Insta, we could do it. FB has a 20yr lease here, they won't leave if we tax them a tiny bit! The steam off their $44bn cash pile would do @TodaySOR

I think Johnny you might find that it was a developer led bust that made Ireland look like a banana Republic. Lest we forget

SHAME ON DUBLIN BUS . They advertise IKEA as a destination on their 155 bus route so why not put MATTRESS MICK as a destination on their 27 bus route to Coolock . After all I am from Dublin, supporting Irish industry by selling Irish Made Mattresses . Any comments. Cheers.

There’s an Alt Right appeasement fringe in this country full of self-identified Centrists. The only thing amplifying them is their National Platform. It’s a terrible mistake.

From 2015-2018 Dublin's total water use (by households and industry combined) went DOWN by 6%. Unfortunately @IrishWater's leakage went UP by 29%, so all the savings were offset.
Misleadingly, IW calls this increase in "leakage" an increase in "demand". This has to stop.
