"The national conversation on immigration is shifting reflecting developments in peer countries and Irelands high rates since 2022. The policy focus should be on lower issuance of student and worker visas until home building moves closer to meeting existing and backlogged demand"

"Cant ever recall a week like this in Ireland-US relations. The Irish political class is as supportive of the Palestinian cause as the US political class is of the Israeli cause and as this senator and at least a dozen more US lawmakers have made clear the two sides are on a collision course. Very dangerous moment for Ireland"

"As the Corrib gas field depletes down XX% in just a year ever more gas has to be imported via the sole pipeline from Britain. Today's @CSOIreland data show imports now account for more than four fifths of total gas supply. Countries usually seek to address vulnerabilities. Ireland has made itself more vulnerable by not building gas storage and liquified gas importation facilities"

"Quite amazing that this is not topping the news bulletins and dominating national discussion. Yesterday a dozen US politicians sitting in the most powerful parliament in the world were massively critical of a bill that almost all Irish politicians are pushing to enact. Whatever one thinks of the bill there will likely be huge consequences for Ireland if it enacts it. Surely worth more analysis in the media"

"Democracies have interests and values. Putting values before interests is unusual in foreign policy particularly when interests are sacrificed. That is what has happened with Ireland's Israel/Palestine position and the costs became abundantly clear this past week. Delusions about 'leadership' on the Middle-East need to end. If the Irish government doesn't focus on Ireland's interests nobody else will. Discussed Ireland's wider foreign policy priorities back in February here"

"Well worth watching this to see how Irish and American views on Isreal-Palestine conflict differ. Whichever view you take the past week has revealed that the US is willing to use its arsenal of economic diplomacy tools against Ireland. Reading Irish media today with little coverage or analysis of the scale of what happened last week its clear that the threat Ireland faces is not understood"

"Surprised at the lack of media coverage of what happened last week.

"No doubt well intentioned but this letter reflects too-common delusions and frankly narcissism that exists in Ireland about the country's role in the Middle-East.

"From many of the reactions here it is worth pointing out that 'the economy' is not somebody else's greasy till. In this case it is hundreds of thousand of workers whose livelihoods depend on American companies. It is the tax revenues* that pay for the treatment of sick people and the welfare benefits of the most vulnerable in society. *Profit taxes paid by US companies now account for XX% all taxes of every kind raised by the state"
