The worst of this strange decade of wokeness is over – The Irish Times
The year 2024 provided the vibe shift and in 2025 it’s time for mainstream politics in Ireland to heed it. So, when we look at Europe’s turmoil in 2024 – in many places only set to worsen – we can be grateful to the relative stability afforded by Ireland’s liberal establishment. The worst of this strange decade of peak wokeness is over – evidenced by the fact that even Judith Butler, a foot soldier in the 2010s woke revolution, came to condemn its excesses recently. But you can’t have a politics of identity that is only about identity. But the language of identity politics general to the 2010s seems now to be a blip, rather than the establishment of a new rule.

TUV MP rejects minister’s assurances smoking ban will apply in Northern Ireland
The framework, and its predecessor the Northern Ireland Protocol, requires checks and customs paperwork on goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland. Under the arrangements, which were designed to ensure no hardening of the Irish land border post-Brexit, Northern Ireland continues to follow many EU trade and customs rules.

Developer settles alleged 'shakedown' case against Meath planning objectors
High Court ReporterGlenveagh has settled its €8 million High Court claim against two Co Meath residents it alleged serially objected to its planning applications as part of an alleged attempted “shakedown”. The court’s order on consent also noted that Mr Lynch and Ms Leavy “accept that the within proceedings do not constitute strategic litigation against public participation”. Mr Lynch, an insurance consultant, and Ms Leavy, a retired bank official, continue to strongly deny all the allegations against them. It claimed the duo’s actions were predominantly aimed at “leveraging an improved bargain” for Mr Lynch in his bid to secure better terms in selling 16 acres of his land to Glenveagh. The developer alleged the defendants were “highly targeted” in making submissions and appeals on its projects across the country as part of an alleged “shake-down” attempt while costing Glenveagh millions.
