The Coalition is hanging by a thread ahead of Friday's crunch decision on whether the Government will vote for or against the controversial Mercosur deal. Senior Government sources said there is “every chance” Kerry junior minister Michael Healy-Rae could walk away from Government over the EU/South American trade deal. When asked if he would pull down the Government, Mr Healy-Rae told the Irish Examiner it was “not even for discussion now” but insisted he and other Regional Independents’ opposition was “steadfast”.

It comes after research revealed that 6,700 non-consensual ‘undressing’ and ‘nudifying’ images per hour were being processed online by Elon Musk’s AI system in recent days.
