Election 2024: Climate — 'The people of Midleton need to see shovels in the ground'
In the build-up to the last general election, Midleton woman Caroline Leahy was very much an undecided voter. “Added to that, I thought the council’s flood relief scheme was being worked on and would be online soon enough. She would also like there to be better communication with residents about anything to do with flood relief or mitigation. “We have had to fight tooth and nail to find out what is being done since Storm Babet,” she said. “The people of Midleton need to see shovels in the ground.”

Michael O’Neill wants more progress – Northern Ireland v Belarus talking points
But with only a one-point advantage over Belarus, and Bulgaria two points back in third, there is still plenty of work to do. No one is expecting another rush of goals and O’Neill remains adamant that the final third is where his side still have the most work to do, but the potential in this side has been made abundantly clear. Goalkeeping dilemmaPierce Charles’ performances for Northern Ireland last month have left Michael O’Neill with a goalkeeping dilemma (Liam McBurney/PA)One of the most intriguing questions to be answered when O’Neill names his team on Friday will be who starts in goal. But he has struggled since joining Birmingham in the summer, and made a costly mistake in his last Northern Ireland appearance – the 1-0 loss to Bulgaria in September. Considerable time and energy had to be spent on developing contingency plans – with a return to Zalaegerszeg, Hungary being lined up if needed – but Northern Ireland were keen not to lose home advantage at a sold-out Windsor Park.

Everything Has Changed – In the Tank #473

In a special Episode #473 of the In the Tank Podcast, guest host Jim Lakely welcomes The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken and CFACT’s Chris Martz to discuss whether they share Jim’s feeling that everything has changed.
