Minister Niall Collins on RTÉ's This Week programme claiming the Aughinish report couldn't be released because it contains "commercially sensitive" information.
Perhaps he should read the report, particularly page 16

Australia cut supplies of alumina to Russia four years ago. Ireland should do the same with Aughinish, instead of kicking the issue to touch. rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/072…

My world exclusive with the man responsible for the long range strikes has blasted to a million in just 3 days. I’m the first journalist to sit down with his incredible unit @414magyarbirds since the Crimea operation began. The power of independent journalism 🔥🇺🇦🫡
Congrats to @CaolanReports on his interview with Ukraine's USF Commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdi hitting 1 million views on YouTube in 3 days! Everyone is talking about it!

Internet is not free broadcasters must pay a connection fee for each user. In emergencies loss of service results when the system capacity is exceeded. Open broadcasting availability is limitless.

I actually use Longwave here myself in Dublin in preference to mobile phones which demand glasses passwords et cetera adding to complexity.

@deirdrenugent4 You certainly are influencing many listeners to do the right thing for those poor old and isolated losing a service available at flick of a switch during sleepless hour’s. I see your name on the campaign counter thank you

Very true so many memories D-Day World War II when it carried critical weather updates to the landing troops. Indeed Blacksod lighthouse in Mayo played a critical part.

So many people are being forgotten and ignored if they aren't digital savvy. It's disgraceful.
