Tax breaks, grants and energy costs: How Ireland rolled out the red carpet for Intel - The Currency
In the two weeks following the last general election on November 29, 2024, the dust settled and it became clear that the outgoing Fianna Fáil/Fine Gael-led coalition would remain in government once it...

Dublin Inquirer@dublininquirer.com · 4mo agoBarred by EU sanctions from exporting hi-tech chips to Russia, Ireland is sending them in heaps to Israel. Intel has a plants in both Leixlip and Israel. It's a major employer and taxpayer in Ireland, where its executives meet pretty regularly with senior government figures.
Today is Michaelmas, a quarter day in the Irish calendar, and traditionally when rents were paid & contracts signed. It's also the last day to eat blackberries - after today, they belong to the Devil and will make you sick!

At least 6 people, including 3 children, are reportedly missing. Lampedusa has finally been assigned to us as a place of safety. Our Aurora crew is on its way there with the 28 survivors of the horrific shipwreck and 2 dead bodies. 👉 tinyurl.com/arjc9jak
Sea-Watch (international)@en.sea-watch.org · 2w ago🔴 At least 2 people are dead, including a child. 28 survived because our Aurora crew rescued them from a sinking dinghy and the Hasdrubal gas platform in the morning of 29.09. Our anger and grief are almost impossible to put into words. People have died again. The EU is guilty.
The context for We Only Want the Earth is ongoing, unpredictable social change. The perceived legitimacy of international institutions and international law is collapsing.
Born to be alive. acts as a mechanism for an ongoing iterative conversation between A4 Sounds, artists, and audiences about the goals and strategies of social change: what kind of society do we want and how should we get there?
The exhibition is a continuation of our previous group show The Cosmos, The Earth, and Us. Get the brief and read more here: a4sounds.org/born-to-be-a...

It took 8 years for McEntee's F/FG government to pass a watered down version of the Occupied Territories Bill. They could have supported boycott of the Ireland-Israel football match, a potentially huge moment in the global cultural boycott campaign. Such hollow words. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...
'We are failing' - McEntee questions EU's Israel response
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has said the EU's credibility "is gone" regarding its response to the actions of the Israeli government in the occupied Palestinian territories.

It's so fucking depressing and humiliating to beg and beg and beg for our country to do the right thing JUST ONCE, despite it clearly being something the vast majority of Irish people support. But no - the small people clinging to the levers of power will go their own way, to our eternal shame.
Philip O'Connor@philipoconnor.bsky.social · 3w agoThese are the people that the FAI and the Irish government, players and coaching staff are bending the knee for - bitter, entitled genocide-deniers protected by bigger nations, pissing in the faces of those who support the right of the Palestinian people to exist. For shame.

Count Cormacula@cormacos.bsky.social · 3w agoThe proposed changes to citizenship are really pissing me off. We had an election 2 years ago (feels longer, but it wasn’t ) and this was not in the manifesto of either of the government parties. www.immigrantcouncil.ie/news/propose...
If you're against these new proposed immigration laws do let your local TD know. It only takes a few minutes but it lets them know that there's disagreement as opposed to whatever bots on X & Facebook are telling them etc.
Did anyone hear back about the BIA at all? I've been waiting at the window for news via a raven on a dark and stormy night but nothing yet
We do not follow the EU's values compass. Because that would mean ignoring international law. Over the past two days, three NGO ships rescued 102 people at sea. Here's what our aircrew witnessed. 🧵
