JFC @MannaAero could be the most innovative Venture Capital backed company in Ireland, right now. Pushing the frontiers in A.I., Robotics, Aeronautics at a time when Ireland needs good news stories for indigenous industry. But no, the @IrishTimes treats them like a bunch of clueless chancers on a big jolly.

I wrote a piece for the @IrishTimes on why Ireland can’t build anything these days, and how to fix that.

“Ireland is now the only country in the entire world that invests public money in a greyhound racing industry that is so barbaric it has virtually disappeared everywhere else.” Such a great piece by @fergusfinlay in @irishexaminer irishexaminer.com/opinion/co…

8.46am, Sep 15, 2025. Walking by this rotting, decaying, vacant mansion (Aldborough House) in *central Dublin* for almost 10 years, now. (See thread below.) Flurry of activity for a few months in 2023, now long stopped. It’s Ireland, so no-one’s really responsible.
Aldborough House, 1km from Dublin Silicon Docks. "The last great Georgian Manor built in Dublin." Boarded up, unused

This is what Ireland might look like if our housing policy served people instead of investors. In reality, it’s more profitable to park families in hotels while homes rot empty #DerelictIreland @anoisagency

Right now in Kyiv, first responders are clearing the rubble of an ordinary residential building after a Russian strike. Another massive attack against our cities and communities. Killings again. Tragically, at least 8 people have already been confirmed dead. One of them is a child. My condolences to all their families and loved ones. People may still be trapped under the rubble. Dozens are wounded. These Russian missiles and attack drones today are a clear response to everyone in the world who, for weeks and months, has been calling for a ceasefire and for real diplomacy. Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table. It chooses to continue killing instead of ending the war. And this means that Russia still does not fear the consequences. Russia still takes advantage of the fact that at least part of the world turns a blind eye to murdered children and seeks excuses for Putin. We expect a reaction from China to what is going on. China has repeatedly called for not expanding the war and for a ceasefire. Yet this is not happening because of Russia. We expect a reaction from Hungary. The death of children should definitely stir far greater emotions than anything else. We expect a response from everyone in the world who has called for peace but now more often stays silent rather than taking principled positions. And it is definitely time for new, tough sanctions against Russia for everything it is doing. All deadlines have already been broken, dozens of opportunities for diplomacy ruined. Russia must feel accountable for every strike, for every day of this war. Eternal memory to all victims of Russia!

100% agree with this. To be useful, incentives need to be useable. We cannot rely on labour intensive FDI from the US anymore. It's time for a radical rethink of what type of tech sector we want to have in Ireland.

Why is this plaza in front of the restored Counting House always cordoned off? And why is The Counting House still vacant? On South Main St the work was completed in 2021 What a lovely public space it should be along the historic core of Cork City #VacantIreland #DerelictIreland
