I am concerned about this because it’s something of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation, and the only way we’ll be less damned is if we make pains to head off the situation now.

That is why we founded Gript – to serve the gap in the market left by so many of our colleagues, when they decided that the job of journalists was not to challenge consensus thought, but to herd around it, and defend it fiercely.

A new poll has shown that almost half of Irish respondents feel that their views aren’t represented at the level of the European Union, while 34 percent feel the EU is not upholding its core values and 26 percent are dissatisfied with its direction. Despite this, support for Ireland’s membership of the EU remains high at 82 percent. However, that figure represents the lowest level of support in over a decade (since 2013).
