Ireland has de facto no trans healthcare* IMHO. It does have a team who are paid to deliver it. Some trans ppl have expressed concern regarding the ethos of the ‘service’ & consider it to be anti-trans & takes up to 10y+. It’s time it matched civilised countries like Spain & the Netherlands.

Once again we face what feels like an insurmountable task ahead, not least because with all the storms over the last few weeks November has been much quieter than usual. Time to dust off the ice axe, afix the crampons, adjust the snow goggles, and begin the ascent, one step at a time.

Keep in mind that white American males shot and killed countless Americans including many children, and no one ever did a thing but protect their right to do it again.

We 🇮🇪 knew Zohran before he was famous.

You know the way they say that a man must've invented high heels but a woman must've invented dry shampoo? Well it's true!

He admits "causing grievous bodily harm with intent, affray, wounding with intent and attempting to cause grievous bodily harm", while "victims include two babies and six other children". But it's still a "crash" and not an "attack", because whiteness.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

It looks like every Irish outlet (that I've seen so far) has just transcribed a wire services report about the Linehan trial that is *dripping* with anti trans bias, misgendering the victim, calling the teenage victim an "activist" but not Linehan, and eliding the fact that the victim was a child

Limerick peeps! Please make it.

The all-purpose headline for our times is really just 'rich person says something and we report it!', isn't it?

This article offers zero evidence that landlords are going to “stampede” out of the rental market, other than an estate agent saying, “trust me, bro.” www.limerickleader.ie/news/nationa...

My lovely local pottery place got done over last night (including a smashed window) by some vile people, go buy their wares! They have lots of nice things for the upcoming season, including gorgeous ceramic tree decorations, and you can order online if you're not nearby: brookwoodpottery.com

I quite literally will never understand this take. I know that we always need *some* rental property available but the vast majority of people in Ireland want to own and we can't because of *drumroll please* landlords buying multiple properties to rent. Them leaving the market is what we want.

In Ireland, there are 122 landlords with 101+ tenancies. A further 130 with 50-101 tenancies. There is quite literally no need for anyone to own that much property.

This kid is brilliant. Voice of a generation.

This is SO good!!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Well, this is pretty terrifying. The Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph. One massive consolidated right-wing media empire controlled by off-shore interests at a critical moment in global politics. What could go wrong? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

Fair play. I am a small landscaper/ herbaceous perennial grower in Wexford. I grow my plants organically, peat and pesticide free. I only grow a small selection, but grown outdoors, so hardy from the outset. My online presence leaves a lot to be desired, I guess I am more attracted to the soil.

We had a time. RIP David Hanly. # MorningIreland

FF & FG have skilfully blocked the Occupied Territories Bill for the bones of a decade. They have no intention of standing up to the US govt and IBEC by doing what the electorate want. Frances Black is a decent person, but that was used against her and she was had. www.thejournal.ie/frances-blac...

I live in (what I think I'm correct in saying is) the most diverse constituency in the whole country - Dublin Central, D1 - *and* I'm old enough to remember what this place was like before significant immigration, and the idea that immigration hasn't been good for this country is fucking laughable

The report into Boris Johnson’s record during the Covid epidemic blames a ‘toxic, sexist and chaotic culture’ in Downing Street. Who’d have thought it?

Calling on the Irish government and state agencies to immediately close their X accounts. Continued use of a fascist agitator's social media site is both incompatible with democratic values and immoral.
