The Irish Basking Shark Protection Group have started a petition in order to demonstrate the public support for Soc Dem TD Jennifer Whitmore’s bill currently before the Oireachtas that would make it illegal for anyone to intentionally or recklessly injure or harass them off Irish coasts.

Jennifer is a former marine biologist, and says basking sharks should be given the same protections as whales and dolphins in Ireland. Basking sharks are the second biggest fish in the sea, and are mysterious gentle giants.

Ireland is one of the only countries in the world where they go close to land, and so scientists from all over the world come to study them along our Atlantic coast.

This morning.

The Dáil is set to vote today on a proposal to introduce a stamp duty charge of 10% on the purchase of ten or more houses under plans agreed by Cabinet last night.

Via RTÉ:

After more than two weeks of deliberations the Government has moved to change tax and planning laws to prevent big investors buying up housing estates.

The higher charge will also apply where someone acquires ten or more units on a cumulative basis over a 12-month period.

However, it will not apply to those bulk buying apartments, which is the focus for many in the Opposition already.
