  1. Competing concerns here, have to say I don't envy the staff at my local Aldi who have had these machines added on top of their other duties, it really should come with hazard pay.

  5. Sinn Fein abstaining on this should be instructive as to their current positioning on amendments to the abortion regulations, prioritising their own upcoming bill on the topic, in other words it's playing politics with people's real world concerns. Cynical to the core.

  10. I don't think the comparison holds water, in that case it was genuinely expensive, by comparison €127k is significantly more reasonable, but also the Leinster house bike shed wasn't publicly accessible and fed into a conception of the politicos lavishing largesse on themselves. A bike shed at a hospital is by contrast an amenity for everyone, very different.
