He's got a point

A 31 % increase in road deaths in ireland since 2019, the worst in Europe. Remember what the gardai said recently, 'enforcement is the last resort', we're seeing the fruit of that apathy now. Someone needs to be sacked, alas it won't happen.

Ireland in a nutshell

Measure any civilised society by how it treats its most vulnerable, meanwhile gov ministers despatched to the 4 corners of the earth to drum up business to bolster economic growth at all costs

My point since the advent of Ireland's pointless deposit refund scheme. Ban single use plastics, alternatives exist.

Interesting if unscientific poll on whether people have ever been breathalysed. 40% of respondents say they've never been breathalysed, if you were to extrapolate this figure across the country's 3 million drivers, that's 1.2 million drivers who've never been breathalysed.

Election posters, a pet hate of mine, an archaic practice well past being necessary. Posters are an eyesore, a distraction and an obscene waste of plastic. Constituency candidates should appear together on existing billboards for 1 week prior to election day. End of.

Varadkar first became Taoiseach in 2017 When 687k people were on hospital waiting lists, today its 830k When 158 people died on our roads, last year 184 When 8000 people were homeless,today its 13,531 When average rent was 1017 euros, today its 1544 euros The list goes on

The technology has existed for years, the first gatso camera was invented in 1965, its deeply irresponsible to drive recklessly but its equally irresponsible if authorities refuse to save lives by not installing lifesaving technology on our roads

I see Dunnes Stores are selling more plastic tat made in China, impossible to recycle this rubbish, it should be banned. Fresh flowers always.

Ireland didnt even manage 20 % of its derisory target of planting 8000 hectares of trees in 2023

I always check if food I'm buying has palm as an ingredient, if it does I don't buy it. Simple.

It's nigh on impossible for a 37 year old who entered the Dail at 24 on a 90k salary and who never had to exist and work on an average salary in the real world, to appreciate the struggle of his fellow citizens. Since becoming a TD in 2011 Harris has earned circa 1.4 million.

It's not enough to hold a seat of office, it's necessary to distinguish oneself by overdelivering on expectations. No Taoiseach in my lifetime has even come close to achieving this. Based on Simon Harris' political career to date I don't see him remotely bucking this trend.

To say there's a housing crisis is a gross understatement, the ramifications of which will reverberate for years as people are forced to not have children because they can't afford to leave the family home.
