A culture card programme would see young Irish citizens given money to spend on cultural and sporting activities, in a bid to make these more accessible.
What makes this Not The Onion to me is how normalized this story is. How did things get to this point? Would she be happy with a job that only had a 2.5 hour commute each way!? Maybe, and that is what makes it existentially funny to me.
It’s the first day of Seachtain na Gaeilge (1st - 17th March). The link will show you events in your area so why not go along regardless of your level?

I’ve just started watching this very funny TV show. I had just gotten rid of my TV back then because I thought the internet was better. On one hand I’m sorry I missed out on an absolute cult classic of Irish TV, but it’s a treat to watch something from this era for the first time.
“Dunnes Funds Apartheid” - how little has changed. I brought the No Thanks app to Dunnes recently, just shopping for shampoo, shaving gel, deodorant. The whole aisle was tied to illegal Israeli settlements, and I left empty-handed. 40 years on, where are the unions and boycotts?
