Election 2024: Farming — 'There is genuine fear out there among farmers... Trust is gone'
From sticky inflation to ambitious climate targets, the farming industry has come under increased pressure in recent years, with demonstrations now commonplace across Ireland as farmers protest regulation, income pressure, and bureaucracy. “The government could suddenly decide to accelerate tax on any investment that you make, resulting in things feeling quite uncertain. “There is genuine fear out there among farmers. Asked what he wants to see in the next government, Mr Moher said the most important thing is that farmers are not left hanging. Mr Moher has also called for increased support for rural Ireland, adding that it will be at the forefront of his mind when he enters the voting booth.

Call to boycott Conor McGregor alcohol brands after civil case defeat
Rape Crisis Network Ireland (RCNI) is urging retailers to stop selling Conor McGregor's stout and whiskey products after a civil court jury found him liable last week for the assault of Nikita Hand. Clíona Saidléar, RCNI executive director, said she believed the €250,000 damages awarded to Nikita Hand was a "drop in the ocean” for a man of McGregor's wealth. During the three-week civil case, McGregor posted Instagram pictures of himself with this Forged Irish Stout in a EuroSpar in the North. Earlier this year, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASAI) upheld a complaint that Forged Irish Stout breached advertising rules on sexualised content. The ASAI said there was no creative reason for this "other than to objectify the female models”.

Labour is now the public’s top pick to be the junior partner in next coalition government
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael voters believe the Labour Party are the best option for a deal Sinn Féin supporters would much rather work with the Social DemocratsThe Labour Party is the public’s preferred choice to be the junior partner in a new coalition after Friday’s election, a new opinion poll shows. Interestingly, while Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael voters appear very keen on doing a deal with Labour, voters who will give their first preference to Sinn Féin are much less enthused. Senior figures in Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have eyed Labour as the most likely coalition partner, with Fine Gael especially in favour as it views the party as having values similar to its own. The Labour Party is currently polling at 4pc, with no change from the previous surveys at the beginning of November. The Labour Party yesterday launched its children’s rights charter, which promises to cap childcare at €200 per month.
