There’s one on north strand where someone has painted a bloodied axe in his outstretched hand

That's the one! They cleaned it up a month or two back, looking forward to its next graphic design treatment

Yeah. it's on the side of a building as you walk from the new Newcomen bridge cycle path thing on to the fairview side of North Strand - but it's currently ungrafittied I believe

EU Elections: EU Parliament Scoreboard 2019-2024

New in-depth data research from five leading climate and environment organisations reveals that only a minority of MEPs during the 2019-2024 mandate acted to protect Europe’s climate, nature and air quality.

a guide to which parties are the greenest. FF getting 69/100 seems a little generous.

Labour considering legal options after Meta temporarily disabled ad accounts ahead of election

Party accuses social media giant of ‘interference’ in its local and European election campaigns ahead of Friday vote

I don't think I've seen labour ads mentioning Palestine, but I've heard a few anecdotal accounts of people being shadowbanned for putting up pro-palestine content.

Maria walsh bough frontage ads on loads of regional media outlets which to me is sketchier than *good singer endorses*.

but also WTF

I'm wondering if Tóibín might have a good chance being already established and former SF. The Midlands North West seems to nominate at least one SF candidate and maybe because of the boarder county's ?
I guess Ming is a safe bet and I would not be surprised if Saorise was nominated I'd expect at least one female candidate and you'd have to think FF/FG must have some sort vote that er can be counted on. I haven't looked at Dublin or South much although I'm close to both. Dodgy builder guy will get back in ? Supposedly a notoriously low turn out for EP elections anyway 50% or so.

I'm himming and hawing on Ming. His support of the turf cutters puts me right off him, but his voting record on environmental stuff is pretty good Written explanations of vote | Luke Ming FLANAGAN | MEPs | European Parliament

Hmmm update on the turf cutting EU turf cutting case could 'unravel years of work' - MEP - Agriland.ie

Check out this clown

 

[hydromancer]

Ming I would think is not to bad and there 8 years so at least knows how the place works.
I wont be giving him first preference though since I reckon he will get in anyway.
It's actually not a bad ballot apart from the obvious dodge partis and few weird indies.
No idea about Charlotte Keenan I presume a single issue candidate.

My estimate is MNW is gonna roll to about count 15
I'm kinda thinking the 3/4/5s I have in mind should be moved to 1/2/3 because I'd rather them to bubble along in transferland for longer.

I am who I am, it'll be all the lefties ftw.
