Sun and Cosmic Rays Drive Climate, Not CO2, Says Astrophysicist Sat Sep 20, 2025 09:00 | Hannes Sarv
It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

The ?Far Left? Finally Gets Its Comeuppance Sat Sep 20, 2025 07:00 | James Alexander
For years the Left has smeared its opponents as 'far Right'. Now, the spike in Leftist political violence has led to a turning of the tables. What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the Guardian, says Prof James Alexander.

Shutting nightclubs even earlier

Report this post to the editors

people behave themselves before 2am?

A clampdown on Dublin's niteclubs is on the way. The move, which is set to come into effect on Wednesday, will force all niteclubs to close 1.30am. Ireland's EUR500 million nightclub industry, which employes more than 2,000 people in Dublin alone, is planning to mount a campaign to oppose it.

Apparently last time the Irish Nightclubs Industry Association negotiated and compromised? on losing 30 minutes. I don't see what impact on public disorder that had and what closing another 30 mins earlier would do?

Putting the time of nightclubs and bars closing time even closer together will devastate nightclubs

from official report:

REPORT
of the
Joint Committee on Justice, Equality and Women's Rights
on
A Review of Liquor Licensing

Extract (4.3.11)

The Garda?

4.3.11 The Garda? or more specifically the local Garda superintendent
could be entrusted with power of setting the permitted hours of
trading in the area in question. While one might expect public order
and criminality consideration to be paramount in the Garda approach,
we do not consider that these are the only considerations and
consequently do not think it would be right to entrust such an
important power over local business interests to the Garda?.

Note the last few lines.

(cribbed from ie-dance) What can be done about it?
