One person’s rent is another person’s income. It might be their pension, it might be how they pay the mortgage.
Tánáiste Leo Varadkar drew criticism for his comments on problems facing Ireland’s rental sector.
As far as I’m concerned, it was harassment when he was messaging me. When someone is creeping around your house to the point where you have to get in CCTV cameras, where you have to have the guard sitting outside, that’s above and beyond harassment.
Una Ring, co-founder of victims support group Stalking Ireland, speaking about a new bill to make stalking a specific offence in law for the first time.
The criticism emanating from these people has been overly harsh, unfair and in some cases down-right cowardly. It has gone well beyond fair analysis of team performance. Critical evaluation of match performance is fine, and expected, but overly harsh scrutiny of amateur players is unjustifiable. It is inexcusable when it moves beyond the realm of what happens on the field.
GAA president Larry McCarthy on the criticisms levelled at some players.
I would not at all like to see, nor I might add would many of my Republican colleagues like to see, a change in the Irish accords, the end result having a closed border in Ireland.
US President Joe Biden took a firm stance with UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Northern Ireland.
We are absolutely over the moon that he’s not only still alive and well, but he is well on his way home to the Arctic.
Wally the Walrus was spotted in Iceland, meaning he’s now roughly in the area he needs to be (although is not quite there yet).
We’re angry, we’re outraged we’re frustrated. We’re annoyed that the government just has not taken our calls on board and haven’t taken the student accommodation crisis seriously enough.
Union of Students in Ireland (USI) president Clare Austick said many college attendees have been left without a place to live this year as students staged a protest outside the Dáil.
No I haven’t. I have been busy this week. Katherine Zappone makes her own decisions. I haven’t spoken to her this week.
Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Coveney said he wasn’t in contact with former minister Katherine Zappone during his visit to New York, where she lives.

Hasn’t she been through enough!?
@Brian Guilfoyle: joe biden?
There’s a headline I didn’t think I’d see today
@LFCMAD_94:here’s a headline you’ll NEVER see ‘ Jedward quarantining with Oscar winner Tara Reid in L.A.’
@Wayne Connor: Oscar winner?!
@jl: did you not get the sarcasm ?
@Wayne Connor: ”grammy award winning” Jedward. Now that’s one you’ll never see
They got Jedward we got Matt Damon. I’ll take that.
God help her.
@Charles Alexander: God help her boyfriend!!!
@DeeM: patience of a saint.
@DeeM: I wouldn’t say he’s too worried
Sorry, but why is this news??
@Ciarán O’ Donoghue: It proves that no matter how bad you think things are, they could always be so much worse. Let’s bow our heads in silent gratitude.
That’s a horror movie premise
I don’t know who to feel more sorry for her or them either way I can only imagine I’d rather have covid than be stuck with them
“Siri, how can the covid19 emergency get even worse?”
Donald Trump should make them citizens so they can stay there permanently. Ireland won’t miss them
@Just Some Guy: just so you know, even if he did, it won’t mean that couldn’t travel back here.
I predict the Ray D’Arcy Show will be all over this story in the coming weeks.
@KilkennyProud: let’s hope Darcy goes over to interview them & then stays there.
The universe is great. I love this.
John and Edward have been friends with Tara for 8 years and have been on holiday together many times.
I’d say they’ll have to pay for their own holidays in future.
@KilkennyProud: they pay for their own holidays now!
Poor Tara Reid will need lots of therapy after those two…
@Damien: ive a feeling they’d be more into her fella
Its good to know they’re together and working on future projects together at this time. They have such a lovely, genuine friendship, something that’s always nice to see.
Jedward are still alive?
What?!? Wait….. What?
I think the media write these stories to make us all feel better about ourselves during the pandemic. No matter how bad you have it, it could be worse, you could be holed up in a small apartment with Jedward.
The Journal will call any old rubbish news
@Dennis Farrelly: The Journal calls any old rubbish news. There ya go, fixed it.
Ok so I “stumped up” to support the journal as it’s my go to for news every single day. This isn’t news nor a newsworthy story.
@Thomas Meaney: sucker
I’d rather live with two Chinese bats
Slow news day obviously.
Have some folk never heard of ‘if you got nothing good to say …… say nothing”.
Have refugees from Liveline fetched up here?
And here I’m trying to keep my sanity. After reading this, I’m grand, no problems…
Thought you’d got rid of The Daily Edge?
Don’t let them know when the lockdown is over, leave them quarantined.
That poor girl, she must have been a horrible person in a previous life to deserve this.
Who cares. Has the JOURNAL not got better news to report
I love Edward
Are they still around
Jaysus imagine the state of their hair after 10 weeks of lockdown! Thought I was bad, feel better now!
Ah poor Tara Reid what did she do to deserve that my heart goes out to her. Being driven mad by two headcases from lucan
When Jedward were at the height of it the majority of Lucan started to use the clondalkin post code as thier home address. The trend has only recently been reversed
Do they know the difference between jam and marmalade
She probably kidnapped herself…
Why did you delete my comment Conor? They are gob$#!+€$
Who Care’sssssssss.
Who actually cares about this pair of talentless people
Poor Tara
3 nobodies. Who really cares what they do?
Does anybody really give a flying f**k??
Wonder if they will be Deported if they OVERSTAY the 90 day visa,,,
That poor woman
have your say
