‘Stop the waste’ demands MEP in Brussels
MEP Ciarán Mullooly speaking in Strasbourg. ‘Stop the waste’ demands MEP in BrusselsIf voluntary community groups from the midlands and west made the financial mistakes EU bureaucrats are making, they would be out of business: that’s the message MEP Ciarán Mullooly is sending to the top cats in Brussels. During a debate with Court of Auditors Irish president Tony Murphy at a European Parliament plenary session, the Independent Ireland MEP raised concerns about the management and control systems of EU funding programmes. DG REGIO, or the Directorate-General for Regional and Urban Policy, is responsible for EU policy on regions and cities and manages the European Structural and Investment Funds.

Everything Has Changed – In the Tank #473
Clips of people filming their misery and sharing it with the world are everywhere. But for the majority of the country, is feels like a major societal and cultural shift has occurred. Our media has changed, with the legacy media’s corruption being its undoing. Our pop culture feels about to change, too, moving away from leftist moralizing and back to producing entertainment with broad appeal. In a special Episode #473 of the In the Tank Podcast, guest host Jim Lakely welcomes The Heartland Institute’s Linnea Lueken and CFACT’s Chris Martz to discuss whether they share Jim’s feeling that everything has changed.

Evan Ferguson strike gives Ireland victory over Finland
Head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has now won two of the five matches for which he has been in charge, but the fact that Ireland have tasted victory just eight times in their last 34 competitive outings fixtures serves as a reminder that they remain a work in progress. Evan Ferguson (centre right) heads home the winner (Brian Lawless/PA)Striker Benjamin Kallman acrobatically headed just wide from an Antman cross and was then denied one-on-one by Kelleher, and Hradecky had to tip over Szmodics’ well-struck effort after he had muscled defender Arttu Hoskonen off the ball. Johnston tricked his way past Alho once again and chipped the most teasing of crosses into the box for Ferguson to head home from close range. Johnston went just wide after cutting inside Lod from Doherty’s driven pass, but Kelleher was relieved to see Pohjanpalo steer a first-time shot just over from fellow substitute Daniel O’Shaughnessy – his father was born in Ireland – with 22 minutes remaining. Ferguson’s evening took a turn for the worse with 14 minutes remaining when, after a VAR review, he was adjudged to have blocked O’Shaughnessy’s hooked attempt with his arm and German referee Harm Osmers belatedly pointed to the spot.
