the distortion of information,
financial corruption,
and the dismantling of government offices.
In the final episode of this season, we examine whether the administration is also trying to change the rules of our elections.

Total Cohort Fertility Rate and Total Period Fertility Rate for Ireland, using birth data up to end 2024. Consistent downward trend in both, the relative pause in the middle of the TPFR decline is associated with large net in-migration (including of young women) during the Celtic Tiger.
