Swathes of rainforest and coral reefs are being destroyed by a nickel mining boom in Indonesia sparked by the Net Zero race to transition away from fossil fuels. Is this supposed to be 'green'?

Journalists like Paul Mason who argue GB News is "far Right" and must be shut down have clearly never watched it, says Andrew Doyle. If they had they'd know that their idea bear zero relationship to the reality.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9To be honest I was there last night. Last year because Royston didn't turn up I acted as the MC so I know the normal protocol. I do not believe any offence was intended that it was just down to the exhuberance of the occasion. There are some aspects of Council protocol however that it might be useful to review and update members on. as chairperson of the Protocol Committee I take note of the criticism and will act on it.
How is that 'sectarian'?
Out of interest cllr how many chairmanships do you currently hold?
At Local Authority level - two.
The Dublin Regional Authority and the Protocol Committee of the City Council. These were the only ones that I sought.
I tend to agree with Dermot on this one.
Catherine Byrne would not have a sectarian bone in her body. .In her time on the Council she has not been one of the preening peacocks on the Council.
I think it was a foul up rather than a snub.
That said it was a pity that the other Candidate for Mayor ,the Independent, Vincent Jackson did not get to speak.
Vincent has been a great presence on the Council, working diligently for both his Ward and also for the citizens of Dublin. He has been a rock of sense on the Council and would have beeen a great choice for Mayor.
There are 52 Councillors on the council.
Byrne was elected 26(Lab 15, FG 10. I Green)
with 25 for Jackson
Who was missing?
Was it the sole PD councillor? If so then that Party has a strange attitude to Democracy
"These were the only ones that I sought."
I like a man who gets what he wants. I suppose we can look forward to seeing truly democratic councils across Dublin with your Regional position.
Should I hold my breath?
I can assure the contributor that Wendy Hederman of the Progressive Democrats not only attended but cast the deciding 26th vote.
Wendy has a two year Agreement called the Pembroke Deal with the Alliance of Fine Gael, Labour and the Green Party. The Alliance has kept their part of the deal. The PDs and Wendy do not renege on agreements.
You seem eager to criticise, perhaps you will be as eager to acknowledge one of the hardest working and capable members of Dublin City Council.
N.B. for details see www.wendyhederman.ie - Pembroke Deal
Your comment is drivell, after the election of a new mayor, the out going mayor greets the new on the steps of the Mansion House, and introduces the new Lord Mayor to the staff of the house. After guests have arrived, the outgoing Lord Mayor speaks and welcomes the incomming Lord Mayor.. The new Mayor is then invited to talk and also present the outgoing Lord Mayor and Partner with "Lord Mayor Broaches or Pins". At no stage during these procedings or afterwards are other parties invited to speak...............all the speaking you refer to has already been carried out during the Council meeting in City Hall Chambers earlier in the evening. Your information is wrong and you are missinforming people.
Can't you at least try try to get the peoples names correct. The out-going Lord Mayor's name is Michael Conaghan and the new Lord Mayors name is Catherine Byrne.
