After a four-year transparency battle, the IDA has been told it must disclose documents on a land deal for a proposed Apple data centre. In 2021, Right to Know sought copies of correspondence between the development agency and the tech giant on discussions about potential sites. thestory.ie/2025/11/07/ida…

Big transparency win. IDA ordered to release records on Apple data-centre talks. Yet again, their “commercial sensitivity” arguments didn’t stand up. They now have 2 months to appeal. Given their history, don’t bet against another legal battle to keep the public in the dark.

The taxpayer is going to have to foot the bill for interest and penalties on enormous underpayments of tax by some of the country’s most senior retired civil servants and ex-ministers. Internal records detail how “serious and systemic” failures led to the miscalculation of salaries and payments for thousands of people including ministers, civil servants, and retired public service workers. In some cases, there were massive underpayments of tax from individuals who were retiring with gold-plated pensions. In such circumstances, the person involved would normally be hit with both interest and penalties for the unpaid tax. However, internal records show the government plans to pick up the tab itself and take the money from the budget of the National Shared Services Office, which made the mistake. An internal briefing for Minister Jack Chamber said: “As this is an administrative error, there would seem to be no basis for seeking interest and any potential penalties from the individuals affected.” The scale of the miscalculations is laid bare in a series of internal documents that were released to Right to Know only following an internal review under FOI laws. thestory.ie/2025/11/04/gov…

Jokes about arson attacks on sites that will be used to house international protection applicants on this notorious 'news' blog. They've been there four days now so obviously no intention of removing them as they must not breach any rules.

A new Irish embassy and diplomatic outpost in Tokyo was originally projected to cost €23.5 million but has already cost the taxpayer at least €35.2 million. The Department of Foreign Affairs said their initial estimates were based on outdated construction costs and insisted the project had come in on time and under budget. thestory.ie/2025/10/31/dep…

Fine Gael are on a dangerous path if they start to weaponise litigation history of Oireachtas lawyers against them. For example, representing a dictator with a dismal human rights record.

Protected habitats have been burned, vandalised, and torn up at Ireland’s national parks over the past 18 months. National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) records detail dozens of incidents of arson, scrambler damage, theft, and repeated vandalism. thestory.ie/2025/10/17/ars…

Delighted to be nominated for news reporter of the year along with some great colleagues. Nominated stories were the €336,000 Leinster House bike shelter, the OPW's €490,000 boundary wall ... ... but I think it was Ken O'Flynn's La-Z-Boy recliner that really swung it for me!

If Evan Ferguson scores at any time against Portugal, we will give someone who retweets this a brand new @adidas 12th man jersey. Same as one worn below by our beautiful model @Realaldo474 Mon Ireland

More than €1.1 million in taxpayer funds was paid last year to ministers, TDs, and Senators for social media, PR, and secretarial support. Details of many of the payments are now kept secret with the Oireachtas saying they're personal information: thestory.ie/2025/10/10/e1-…

The geographical origin of posts mentioning #irelandisfull 72% are from abroad, the vast majority being from the US (60%) and the UK. This is a con job on behalf of the super wealthy, turning ordinary people v each other. Don’t let them turn you to a path of hatred & violence.

Couldn’t resist drawing Rory McIlroy after that Ryder Cup win — pity the abuse overshadows the golf. As always, a reshare or follow goes a long way, I don’t get much else out of doing these!🥰 #RyderCupeurope #RoryMcIlroy #RyderCup

SIPO! I thought the prayer and the camouflage suit was one of the funniest things I’d ever seen but this tops it. SIPO!!!!!

If Evan Ferguson scores first, we will give soemone who retweets this post a YBIG Adidas jersey. Come on Ireland #YBIG #irehun

The focus of these investigations needs to shift to the social media platforms that do next to nothing to deter threats. We don't allow TV stations or newspapers to facilitate intimidation so why do we let X and Facebook profit from it? rte.ie/news/2025/0906…
