Ireland has entered a decisive decade for climate and environmental policy. After years of promises and partial steps, the government has approved the Climate Action Plan 2025, set out new legislation on air quality, and confronted the European Union’s warning of potential multi-billion-euro fines if targets are missed. The stakes have never been higher: this is not simply about compliance with Brussels, but about the health of communities, the resilience of farmland, and the legacy left to future generations.

Haus Dosan in Seoul is more than a store. It is the flagship concept space of Gentle Monster, where architecture, contemporary art, sound, and even gastronomy merge into one immersive performance. Buying a pair of glasses here feels less like shopping and more like walking through a curated exhibition.

US President Donald Trump has said that America’s major cities could be used as “training grounds” for the military, describing unrest at home as the nation’s “enemy from within.”

Speaking at a tightly guarded gathering of hundreds of senior officers at Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia, Trump argued that deploying troops in cities would help restore order and “straighten out unsafe places.”

Ireland is bracing itself as Storm Amy sweeps across the country, bringing dangerous winds, heavy rainfall and widespread disruption. Met Éireann has placed a Status Red wind warning for Donegal from 4pm to 6pm, while an Orange warning covers Clare, Donegal, Galway, Leitrim, Mayo and Sligo until 10pm. A nationwide Yellow warning for wind is also in force until midnight, with Galway and Kerry additionally under a Yellow rain warning. A Red marine alert is active from 2pm to 8pm, forecasting “violent” storm force 11 winds along the Atlantic coast. The National Directorate for Fire and Emergency Management has warned of a significant flooding threat in Kerry’s mountains, west Cork, west Limerick, as well as Donegal, Galway, Leitrim and Roscommon. Keith Leonard, director of the NDFEM, urged people to stay cautious, pointing out that even after the storm passes roads may remain flooded and trees could be down.

Every generation has its own way of believing in luck.
 Once upon a time, people whispered prayers before rolling dice. Then came lottery tickets and the familiar promise: “This time I’ll win for sure.” Today, luck lives inside an app interface — bright, tokenized, and glowing on our screens. The impulse, though, hasn’t changed. Humans still want to bargain with fate. Only now we do it with a phone in one hand and a latte in the other.

Storm Éowyn in January 2025 wasn’t just bad weather — it was a reckoning. Winds of 182 kilometres per hour tore across the island, leaving more than seven hundred thousand homes and businesses without power and forcing hundreds of thousands to boil their drinking water. The state electricity company described the damage as “unprecedented.” It took days to restore basic services. Nine months later Storm Amy arrived, breaking more records and more nerves. At this point, calling them natural disasters feels dishonest. These storms are policy failures.

Ireland is entering a moment when digital trends are transforming everyday life faster than society can fully articulate what is happening. These shifts aren’t loud or theatrical; they’re not expressed through protests or political speeches. They are subtle, steady, and deeply rooted in how people think, communicate, rest, consume content, and construct their identities. The digital world has quietly become the new terrain of Irish life — a place where work unfolds, culture evolves, friendships form, and inner calm is sought.

December has never been quiet. The month traditionally unfolds in a whirl of street lights, charity markets, packed cafés, hurried shoppers carrying bright bags through damp air, and the unmistakable seasonal rhythm that turns the entire country into a living postcard.

Yet in 2025 something feels different. The noise is softer. The crowds move slower. And behind every purchase there seems to be a moment of thought — a pause, a choice, an intention.
