YESTERDAY, SINN FÉIN President Gerry Adams took to the streets of Dublin City’s northside.
Joined by deputies Seán Crowe and Dessie Ellis, as well as party members, Adams was campaigning for a Yes vote in next month’s Seanad referendum vote.
Adams told TheJournal.ie that the Seanad should be abolished, but only as a part of “root and branch” political reform across the country.
Adams added that Dáil reforms announced on Thursday were merely “tweaking” of work practices and that opposition parties had been “bypassed” on the issue. Adams claimed that the government had “engaged more in spin than substance” on the reforms.
Asked about how his party will approach the upcoming Budget, Adams said that his party would attempt to fight any move to “heap the burden” on families and carers.
He continued that his party is seeking a budget adjustment of between €2 billion and €2.5 billion.

I forgot to mention that i Got the above Emoji from my bank when i signed in.
I’m guessing all those inviable comments contain apple only emojii, highlighting the problem with emoji passwords. good luck trying to access your bank account from a web cafe in Thailand with that level of security! ;-)
There is absolutely nothing new about this. 5 years ago, my son was using emojis/symbols as a password to an online web game (I think it was Find my Monster). As the game was aimed at kids of an age with only basic literacy skills, this was great.
This is the closest poll in the history of the journal
As blistering irritating as I find those things, it’s technically no more of less safe depending on the number of options given as possibilities.
Easy to guess if ya try and crack my bank account. All sad faces!
xkcd explains how to create a secure, memorable password using simple, common words that’s more effective than the case-switching, number-substituting hoops most websites force you through.
