When babies are at high risk of dying prematurely, parents respond by having lots of kids. Once medical conditions improve and infant mortality goes down parents have fewer kids. Overpopulation is solved by improving healthcare. Source: buff.ly/2ZfVnVH

I can scarcely believe this - we are not into a 'the backstop' v 'a backstop' semantics debate.

James Joyce's Ulysses was published #onthisday 1922. One of our Victorian MPs, the long-lived Hedges Eyre Chatterton (1819-1910), was immortalised in it. Chatterton sat as MP for Dublin University in 1867, before his appointment as vice-chancellor of Ireland (a judicial post).

“Cuirim fáilte roimh chinneadh Theach na dTeachtaí an t-eiteach a thabhairt do #Brexit gan margadh. Seasaimid le hÉirinn/Comhaontú Aoine an Chéasta. Ní ann do thromlach i bParlaimint na hEorpa atá i bhfábhar an comhaontú um tharraingt siar a athoscailt nó a lagú,” Guy Verhofstadt
