@simonharrisireland.bsky.social needs to pressure America to release Seamus and bring him back to his family. He may have lived in America for two decades, but he is still an Irish citizen and an Irish citizen’s unlawful kidnapping should be an urgent matter for the Dáil. #speirgorm

Truly shocking. Ka-ching for consultants! #speirgorm "Doctors need six separate passwords to access clinical systems. ... doctors borrow login credentials ... The organisation ... has committed €360 million to ... Epic, the most complex healthcare IT system in the world. "

Start a conflict in Iran to distract from Minneapolis which distracted from Greenland which distracted from Venezuela which distracted from, oh darn it, what was that other thing?

Unless I am mistaken, and missed it, the @irishtimes.com doesn't seem interested in this story. #speirgorm #nsso.gov.ie
