. (Sunday Statement) . This week in my hometown of Drogheda, a ship arrived with 3,600 tonnes of turf, shipped 3,000 miles all the way from Latvia.

Since 2011 when Fine Gael overseen by Enda Kenny and 2016 where Leo Varadkar took over as man in change, there has been a very quiet undermining of human rights within Ireland, besides questionable choices made beyond it (LINK). Fine Gael, while distracting people in many ways including passing a referendum in regards to LGBTQ…
. In the last week Leo Varadkar made two serious gaffs. I summarised them both through THIS Facebook posting, so I won’t regurgitate the whole thing over again.

When it comes to building more housing, European bodies say they will give us the money to more of it! The government however, won’t embark on a larger national emergency social housing building, task. Many ask “Why?” .
