Dublin News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/12

Twenty years ago, buying your first home was almost effortless—back in 2006, a 29-year-old could get a 350K euro mortgage with no hassle, as banks handed out loans freely and people even bought second homes. Today, the average first-time buyer is 38 or 39, thanks to tighter lending rules after the financial crash. Mortgages are now capped at four times income (down from six or seven), underwriters dig deep into your finances, and housing supply has plummeted—from nearly 90,000 new homes built

2026/08/12

Glen Dimplex faced a sharp revenue drop and soaring pretax losses last year, largely due to sluggish heat pump demand amid a broader market slowdown, high electricity prices versus gas, and policy uncertainty in Europe. Yet, the company is turning things around—its order book shows strong recovery momentum since September, fueled by policy shifts in key markets like France and Germany, plus renewed global focus on energy electrification.

China’s auto industry is revving up a major shift: by next July, new rules will force manufacturers to reinstate physical buttons for critical functions like lights, gear shifting, and defrosting—directly countering the all-touchscreen trend that’s sparked driver frustration.

A groundbreaking new drug for Friedreich’s ataxia, Skyclarys, has been approved in the US and Europe—but Ireland’s HSE is refusing to cover it, citing its steep €280K annual cost and uncertain clinical benefits.

2026/08/11

Trump’s 15-point Gaza peace plan just got rejected by Netanyahu, who insists Israel won’t pull back troops until Hamas is disarmed — a stance fueled by domestic pressure and upcoming elections. The stalled deal, which called for ceasefire, aid access, and limited Palestinian self-rule, leaves Gaza’s recovery in limbo and weakens regional support. With U.S. allies growing skeptical and no clear path to progress before Israel’s October vote, the region risks deeper conflict unless Washington

Hitchhiking Through Time and Kindness | Dublin News

Dublin News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! ·

2026/08/11

Hitchhiking in the 80s was wild—full of hopeful thumbs, dodgy detours, and strangers who’d wave you off but still stop. From a rough night in Mullingar to a cosmic twist on Croagh Patrick, the author’s tales blend nostalgia, survival, and serendipity. One ride led to a Bruce Springsteen last-minute dash, another to a singing stranger who made him bolt. It’s a ride through trust, fear, and the weird, wonderful chaos of hitching a ride when no one’s sure if anyone’s even still doing it.
