Tánaiste and Minister for Finance Simon Harris has said this year's Budget will support people "who get up early every morning and go to work".

Every single journalist in Britain should read this searing essay by Will Self

The state presents scarcity in public and administers suffering in private, leaving citizens to study one another across the gap. One of many zingers in this excellent piece #SpéirGhorm

DWI is proud to stand with the #AffordabilityCoalition. Disabled people in Ireland are struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living - and the added cost of disability makes it even harder. Join us at our pre-budget protest on the 19th September at 1pm in Parnell Square, Dublin.

Disabled stories deserve to be told, and deserve to be told well. But how can we change what’s shown on screen when disabled people are still shut out of the rooms where those decisions are made?

This is just beautiful. A murmuration put to classical music. Enjoy!
