You can't just wave a magic wand and not lift a passenger cap

As Ireland secures Nitrates derogation, scraps airport limits and tries to scupper Mercosur trade deal, what a GREAT time to go to the EU with the béal bocht routine, begging to be saved from our own greed & stupidity yet again.

Istigh i ngach Gael tá dhá spiorad.

I’m passing Conor’s Law which is ‘enforce the actual laws that already exist that already make these things clearly illegal’

Performative bolloxology.

Beannachtaí na Féile Bríde oraibh go léir. Celebrating the traditional beginning of Spring. Happy St Brigid's day. Enjoying the light's return and signs of new growth and renewal. #Imbolc #StBrigid #lafeilebride #LáFhéileBríde

16,734 people were living in emergency accommodation in December 2025, including 5,188 children 📉 While any reduction in homelessness is welcome, it must be sustained, continuous and on a larger scale. There are serious concerns that numbers are set to rise again in the coming months. #Spéirgorm

Wind and solar power produced more electricity than fossil fuels in the EU for the first time last year

...which is why tax-dodging fascist billionaires buy newspapers and TV News channels even though they lose money. Because they know mugs believe the shite their paid shills pump out.

I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

bro biologists won't even agree on the definition of "alive" you think you can get them to back you on "two genders" lmao

We don't need to ape other European countries or appeal to the anglosphere and show them how good we are and we can stand on our hind legs and fetch them a bowl of shamrock. We've a lot to be proud of and no need to impress anyone but ourselves. The Cultural Bomb dismantled?? (v optimistic)

Ireland elects an independent, socialist woman to the position of president. Irish Media: ‘Today, we ask what went wrong with the system, what her opponents have to say about it, and how it can be fixed for next time.’ #SpeirGorm #Áras2025

🇮🇪 Presidential Election Day 1918 was the first time Irish women were permitted to vote, & even then only ~women over 30 who owned property~ Is é do vóta do ghuth 🗳️ #Aras25 #SpeirGorm

Voting is a right that 13 men and children were shot dead trying to get in Derry 53 years ago. Particularly sickening after yesterday to see so many talking about spoiling them. Short memories

754 - Emily Scarratt retires as the top points scorer in Red Roses history (754), having scored 54 tries, 158 conversions & 56 penalties - those points came across 119 caps, with only Sarah Hunter (141) & Rocky Clark (137) having represented the Red Roses more often. Legend.

My sister who has a double barrel name is flying with aer lingus this week. When she was doing her check in she saw they had smashed her two surnames together into one mega surname. We rang cust service and they said thats normal??? Hello?? That doesnt make any sense!

Important protest tomorrow.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

Chilling. Catherine Connolly's launch is sending shivers down the right spines. Vote for Catherine Connolly, the only candidate who is pro-neutrality, anti-genocide, and pro-workers' rights.

Thousands march in Dublin to demand greater Irish language rights and help for Gaeltacht

NomNomGate, coming soon.

TDs should not be allowed be landlords. This has should never have been a controversial idea, but it's always treated like an outrageous suggestion. My guess is more people are finding it less outrageous by the day.

Did you know ❓ The number of people over the age of 65 who are renting from a private landlord increased by 83% between 2016 and 2022 📈 Simon Cares. Do you? Find your local Simon Week event👇 #SimonCares #SimonWeek2025 www.simon.ie/simon-week-2...

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Hmmm...

Did Wafer just get bitten??!! #FRAvIRE

You don't get to live in a civilization which bombs, destabilizes, exploits and extracts from the global south and then bitch when the victims of the bombing, destabilization, exploitation and extraction move to your country to get away from the misery your society caused them.

I am a hypermasculine and extremely powerful alpha male. As such my greatest fears are seed oils, rainbows, people who don't look like me being on TV, and preventative medicine. I cannot explain any of these fears and consider that to be your fault.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

POV: it’s over for you.

I get it. It's daunting to learn from scratch players, teams, tactics. But with the World Cup on the horizon, there has never been a better time to get your head around Canada being better than South Africa. We present, A Guide to Women's Rugby for fans of the Men's Game- youtu.be/HkOECTLYqkA?...

If ChatGPT has no haters, I am dead.

Live coverage on Irish Rugby+ leaves much to be desired. Its been consistently showing a wide shot of pitch since the player of the match interview while the audio of the action replays that the commentatorsare watching is playing in the background #IREvCAN

The backrow injury curse better leave Grace the fuck alone #IREvCAN

ANNNNAAAAAA McGAAAAAAAAN! Anna McGann carves open the Canadian defence with a beautiful step and pins her ears back. She hit the line at real pace and left the defence flat footed. That's the stuff. #IREvCAN

“An excavation is underway at a graveyard in Tuam, Ireland, which could exhume the remains of nearly 800 infants and young children. It comes nearly four decades after the mass graves were discovered at the site of a mother-and-baby home.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08...

In light of the excavation currently under way in Taum, I'd like to share this article from 2014...ya know...just to keep people who tried to cover this up accountable #speirghorm www.thejournal.ie/terry-prone-...

Anyone on #spéirghorm have any idea where I can find a cooking book as Gaeilge? Can be literally any type of food. Its something I would love to find but cant find anywhere (including siopa leabhar)

Such a purposeful picture choice it makes me uncomfy.....

No one: Italy women: btw we’re good now

Job hunting in 2025: creating an account with 3rd party recruitment companies for ever single application, giving your eircode or other sensitive data with no clear reason why they need it, getting return emails that do not clearly state what company they are from #Spéirghoirm

Rté once again condescending people who can't afford large childcare costs by telling them to stop buying takeaway coffees and to write shopping lists #speirghorm

over 20% of the global game dev force was laid of on the last 3 years and absolutely none of it was because of piracy

An interesting story - a snall oary of irish lgbtiq+ histories, a castle, a coracle, st Colmcille and a missing gay millionaire #speirgorm www.irishtimes.com/opinion/an-i...

Before parroting Israel’s talking points on Iran, know this: 🚨 Israel bombed Iran first 🚨 Iran hasn’t invaded another country in over 200 years 🚨 It signed the nuclear deal—Israel opposed it 🚨 U.S./Israel backed Saddam in the Iran-Iraq war 🚨 Israel has nukes, Iran doesn’t
