offsite link Labour Must Halt its War on Pubs Tue Sep 09, 2025 19:30 | Will Jones
One pub is closing every day. And Labour's 'banter ban' ? Clause 20 of the Employment Rights Bill ? is only going to make it worse as pubs are left with the escalating bills to cover their legal costs.

offsite link The African Countries Demanding Reparations Are Astonishingly Hypocritical Tue Sep 09, 2025 15:46 | Will Jones
The African Union's demand for colonial reparations is an act of cynical opportunism that ignores that slavery was already endemic in Africa, and African kingdoms resisted abolition even as the British forced it on them.

Bree maintains pact with FF

Bree supports FF for Mayor in Sligo

Former Labour Cllr Declan Bree has continued with supporting the Labour/FF pact on Sligo Borough and County Council despite leaving the Labour party recently

Former Labour Cllr Declan Bree has continued with supporting the Labour/FF pact on Sligo Borough and County Council despite leaving the Labour party recently.

Cllr Bree supported the nomination of FF Cllr Jonathon McGoldrick who was elected Mayor. Cllr Bree opted for Cllr McGoldrick over SF cllr Chris MacManus.

Cllr Bree was then elected Deputy Mayor with the support of his former Labour colleague Veronica Cawley and Fianna Fail.

Cllr Bree beat SF cllr Arthur Gibbons for that post.

Nice to see Cllr Bree maintain his commitments to Fianna Fail
