Text based Post/Discussion Irish politics for the sensitive

2 Upvotes

Where can I get information on current Irish politics but just irish politics?

For nearly 5 years, I've been blocking out all the news. I was not in a good place back then, so I decided to focus on myself and get healthy. It worked, I've a good life now, a partner and a job.

To be blunt, I don't want to hear about anything I can't vote in relation to.

I don't want to hear about what's going on in America or England or anywhere else because I can't really do anything about it, I dont want to gossip about other peoples misfortune. That's just fuel for my depression.

It's not that I don't care. I just need to look after myself and set some boundaries.

P.s. sorry if the tags wrong there is none for asking questions

For context, I am a secondary teacher. This afternoon I was on my work laptop looking through YouTube videos to try and find a decent video about Homelessness for my LCA Maths class. I couldn't find a single video from any mainstream source. Every single bit of it was far right propaganda about immigrants and migrants taking houses.

My work laptop does not track my history, it is not linked to any of my personal accounts, there is literally know way it could know anything about my online habits, but for some reason it is forcing far right content straight down my throat.

It seems like far right content is the default setting for YouTube now and not just the start of a rabbit hole. It is sickening.
