Una Mullally: Not everyone wants to be in a nursing home. A dementia village is one alternative (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A curiosity of Irish society is that weâre great at death, but bad at ageing. Last week, the sound emanating from Nursing Homes Irelandâs (NHI) annual conference was the din of alarm bells. The Department of Health estimates that Irelandâs over-85 population will grow by 162 per cent by 2045. NHI calls this a âdemographic tipping pointâ, and says 1,000 additional nursing home beds will be needed every year until 2040. The countries cited as being best for elderly care tend to be ones t
Una Mullally: Itâs easy to look tough on immigration. Itâs much harder to build empathy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Minister for Justice Jim OâCallaghanâs pitch to make the process of obtaining Irish citizenship more lengthy â from five years to eight â and Taoiseach Micheál Martinâs strangely woolly reasoning for this is best viewed as part of whatâs happening in the world and country we live in. We are in a rocky era characterised by authoritarian movements and nativist sentiments. Authoritarian movements may take on various shapes depending on jurisdiction but they are united in an aversion to
Inquest of James OâNeill, whose body was stored in morgue for 13 months, adjourned (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of James OâNeill, whose body was found in the Phoenix Park, Dublin in November 2023, but whose family was not informed of his death until December 2024, has been adjourned for six months. The adjournment was granted by Dublin District Coroner Myra Cullinane following a request from a representative of Fiosrú, the Garda Ombudsman, which is continuing to investigate the actions of gardaà in the case. The body of OâNeill, from Belfast, w
Una Mullally: Thatâs not a hum youâre hearing from your local data centre, itâs a growing backlash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It is something of a tautology to state that things only matter when they start to matter. Yet this is the case with the emerging data centre backlash in Ireland. As the public and political backlash against data centres grows in the US, it is inevitable people in other countries will begin to react. Backlashes can be contagious. Ireland holds the ignominious title of world leader in the percentage of metered electricity used by data centres nationally: 23 per cent. In the Dublin-Meath region, a
Una Mullally: Politicians need to engage us with ideas as smart the one for New York parents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Something in short supply in politics these days is optimism. Thatâs hardly surprising. There is a lot to feel bad about. Many deeply serious issues that feature daily in Irish media â climate catastrophes, the genocide of Palestinians, the impact of American authoritarianism, the never-ending Irish housing emergency, the unnerving encroachment of AI â feel existential. There is no point in facing these realities in an inane or Pollyanna-type manner. But compounding a sense of negativity,
