Leo Varadkar’s statement that “nobody was always right” appeared defensive in light of the difficult time in government and for Nphet. However, the findings of the Covid inquiry, when made public after the next election, may provide important lessons for the future. When facing the next pandemic, these lessons may be more significant than anything else.
The Speed Limit Review suggests reducing speed limits by 20kmh, which could add 30% to journey times and negatively impact commercial drivers and commuters. It is unclear if such a drastic reduction will lead to compliance, especially with the lack of speed checks nationwide. A gradual approach of reducing all speed limits by 10kmh may achieve better compliance and significantly reduce road deaths, while having a lesser effect on businesses and commuters.
Merging the Social Democrats and Labour parties could result in a stronger political force. Instead of competing for the same votes, a new party could be formed with a partnership approach rather than a complete merger. This new party could possibly be called the Social Democratic Labour Party or Labour Social Democrats.
The treatment of women footballers, as highlighted by the recent controversy in the Spanish World Cup team, is appalling. The FAI should be ashamed of how they have treated these women who have dedicated decades of loyal service to football. Male sporting icons often receive more recognition and praise, but our female footballers deserve the same courtesy and adulation.
“Song For Ireland” by Phil Colclough and sung by Luke Kelly would be a suitable anthem for sporting events, as suggested by Sinead Ryan. The song captures the spirit and emotion of Ireland and would be a fitting choice.
Protecting salmon nests through the use of metal mesh could significantly increase the survival rate of baby salmon. By securing the nests with metal tent pegs, the cost would be minimal, portable, and manageable. The success of this method can be measured by monitoring the increase in baby salmon numbers through electro fishing in March. Taking action to protect salmon is better than doing nothing.
Teagasc’s research, along with efforts from Irish farmers, is improving the understanding of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture and land-use. By reducing nitrogen fertilizer use and promoting low-emission fertilizers, farmers are working to lower greenhouse gas emissions while producing high-quality food. The refinement of the National Inventory through evidence-based research will contribute to more accurate reporting.
Dr. Karl Richards, the Head of the Teagasc Climate Research Centre, emphasizes the hard work and dedication of farmers in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing carbon sequestration. Through ongoing research and initiatives, Irish agriculture is playing a vital role in the fight against climate change.
