## Resource

Energy bills soar, and families are fed up with government advice that ignores their real struggles. Politicians get roasted for comparing Irish leaders to global extremists — even when they agree on immigration. Ryanair’s boss is slammed for toxic rhetoric, with calls for leadership to step in and shut it down.
