Migrants in tents meet the inevitable consequences of our actions; the Government's sleight of hand on the care amendment; and Gary is saved by a computer meltdown.

The worst referendum defeat in the history of the Irish state; the real power of the NGOs is the false belief that they're representative organisations; and did Ministers lie to the public about the legal advice they had recieved.

The end of two pointless referendums draws near, but there's still enough time left for people to embarrass themselves; and the arguments against marriage are poisonous.

 A reminder that smokers are the real heroes; the unimportance of democratic norms; and more polls. 

 The semi-state formerly known as the NWCI; and we finally have detailed polling on immigration - turns out people have some concerns. 

Polls show public willingness to consider voting for anti-immigrant parties and candidates is substantially up, support for the referendums is substantially down, and SF continue to fall.

The Business Post reports that COVID-era debt warehousing is going to be extended; Garda made 0 criminal checks against EURODAC between 2015 and the start of 2023; and Malcolm Byrne seems unhappy with Gript.

The argument for the new referendums seems to be that we need to change the constitution so that the courts can figure out what it was we actually voted on; we suggust putting the referendums before two important elections was perhaps not wise; and polling indicates that over 70% of the country are now anti-immigration extremists. 

The referendum to remove women from the constitution has a kicker for carers; a Dutch study shows immigrants are not all born, financially, equal; and SF want to bring Dublin house prices to 300,000 - a level not seen since the crash.
