TN's thousands of euros of business annually are a privilege. Our newspaper holds itself to basic ethical standards and has a duty of care to the students we serve. Those things could not be reconciled with continuing to patronise the Irish Times.

Record homelessness and the far right mobilising in the streets, but the Irish Times wants you to know that holding politicians accountable for corruption is basically incitement to violence

I do remember back in 2020 when Simeon Burke was running for NUIGSU and kept complaining about the SU "promoting LGBT on campus" and "LGBT bullies", he was widely considered to be a right-wing crank. Now that's just the editorial line of 2/3 daily Irish broadsheet newspapers

If you think Higgins, a very mild social democrat who's espoused nothing more than basically any alleviation of the housing crisis, is a "dangerous Marxist" - how right wing does that make you?

The Business Post should be embarrassed to publish this drivel - it's like something you would see on a far-right Telegram channel or the Murdoch Press

Still kind of in awe at the extent of RTÉ's journalistic malpractice on this story and that they haven't taken it down or (I think) commented in any way

Our friend Burke is clearly trying to become a martyr for a domestic and international transphobic audience and the Indo is like "yes, I will help you in this"

Hey man sorry your rent is skyrocketing, you’re one medical emergency away from being bankrupt, and that you’ll never own a home, but actually the economy is doing pretty well

This should immediately trigger an election, and the resignations of every member of the judiciary involved. Anything less would be outrageous

As with the Robert Troy affair, the Paschal Donohoe scandal isn't about one minister. It's about a systemic issue; businesspeople buying favour from and promoting their preferred politicians via legal, semi-legal and probably illegal means

Kind of disappointing that no Irish university seems to have the courage to introduce a vaccine mandate, especially those which are planning for widespread indoor teaching in September

But we'd like to use our platform nonetheless. If you're part of some kind of advocacy group on trans issues that would be interested in writing an op-ed about this issue or something more general, we'd almost certainly love to publish that. Please get in touch 🏳️‍⚧

Why is "lying in bed" implied to be a pejorative, aren't we all meant to be staying at home right now?
