A lot of folk still don’t know that Aramark own (super fancy) Avoca, as well as providing food services for Direct Provision Centres. Very easy not to go to Avoca, I reckon. Public opinion got them out of NGI, after all.

Glorious

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream. One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it. Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.

Imagine some lad reading the bunreacht and decing since it names him supreme commander of the defence forces he can mobilise the FCA* whenever he wants. *I know they're not called the FCA any more, but FCA sounds funnier.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

The most Limerick tourism ad you could conceive of Come visit....actually no...fuck off.... #speirgorm

He pleaded guilty - not found guilty - his plea was guilty

From December 2002 regarding the arrest of Tim Allen. "Sophisticated credit card transaction devices" may sound retro to our modern ears but this would have been a massive leap forward at the time with new expertise suddenly available to police following the dot com bubble.

That cunt and her husband have the neck to comment on child welfare when you see what her husband's been convicted of

We really should let Steve Bannon know that Ireland is so woke, that we have an entire year in school devoted to transitioning. #SpéirGhorm #SpeirGorm #SpareGollum

🤢 he said consum..um🤢 nope.. 🤮

#iceland this afternoon

This is what it's come to? This is what the rest of the world is supposed to deal with? This man? This walking insult to every sentient being on the planet? And every day the US continues to foist this malignant stupid prick on the rest of us is another day they'll have to beg forgiveness for

It becomes harder and harder to not be fucking furious that America for voting for that malignant cancer TWICE

@latedebaterte.bsky.social who is yer man saying we should find a handy fence to sit on? We cannot appease Trump, we cannot lead him or nudge him, and we definitely cannot follow him - that way madness lies! We must be on the right side of history, stand with Europe & MAGA #makeamericaGOAWAY

Impeached? He needs the maduro treatment He is unhinged

In addition to the Government of Ireland mantaining an active presence on a website that generates, and profits from, Child Sexual Abuse Material, the Taoiseach, as leader of the government, is still using his account to post images. Let that sink in.

Omg! Solid gold post #startrek 🖖🏼

The River Deel. I used to ride my pony there after school most days & in summertime I'd go for a swim, alone. The parent in me is so freaked out by that fact It was also the backdrop to most romantic encounters of the local teens, popular mitching spot & of course we all swam unsupervised in summer

Roblox has introduced mandatory age verification for its users. Children must upload a photo of themselves to Roblox with the image then processed by an American Age Verification Company, Persona. I am *very* curious to know whether this is GDPR compliant.

relax, what are you worried about; the paper is not worried, the pencil is not worried, just make marks and keep making them until they make sense

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them”.

Brendan there on the national broadcaster happily discussing the travels of a woman & her CSA media using husband to south east asia, annually amazing what people will forget for content

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

We had the only phone on our road for years, so we'd regularly get a call 'hello, will you get Mary Doherty for me please? I'll call back in 10 minutes' & one of us would have to hare down the road to get a neighbour for their call

A friend worked in the exchange in Dublin, so regularly had to connect culchies phoning home. So one day, someone asks for Ballybeg 4. He dials the Galway swtich. "Ballybeg please." "Connecting." "Hello, Ballybeg here." "Hello Ballybeg, this is Dublin, could I have Ballybeg 4." "They're not in."

This is 1) flat wrong on the facts 2) flat wrong on the law 3) flat wrong on the impulse to shield a company from the consequences of its own actions in offering the creation of CSAM-as-a-service This is the sort of morally bankrupt statement that should have its speaker be booed off every street

When Catherine Connolly said the US was a volatile imperial power, the people kicking up most fuss weren't the people who didn't believe her. They were the people who know she's right and don't want to piss off the volatile ass we're kissing in the name of foreign direct investment #spéirgorm

Women's Aid said that it will no longer maintain a presence on X. "This online violence against women and children - especially girls - has often devastating real-life impacts and we no longer view it as appropriate to use such a platform to share our work. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

Delighted to hear that The Invisible Doctrine, the film by @peterhutchison.bsky.social and @lucas-sabean.bsky.social, is being offered free to view on YouTube for the holiday season. It's all yours! youtu.be/gR4eSEetKP0

Under Irish law Musk can be jailed for 12 months for being a director of a company distributing CSAM. Section 9 of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998. 'X' is a company registered in Ireland.

Nooooo oh no

Weren’t the Gareth S. & M*ria Steen #Áras25 efforts a soft-launch of this muck? National media sopped up the bs & fed the monstr willingly. We’ve much work to do to banish the grifters but it can’t be done while #FFFG are busy riding the anti-immigrant horse to a full gallop #spéirghorm #IrishPol

Don't let this "poor me shut down" narrative overpower the actual story - figures from multiple sources say that he's wrong. He can feel bad about being wrong but that doesn't make him immune from criticism about being wrong. And we should criticise what he says and does. Because he is wrong.

It's not shutting someone down to point out that the facts don't support the fictional narrative you're spinning. And it's not shutting someone down to point out the impact of those fictional statements, which we have seen in the increased violence and racism towards immigrants.

And he knows it. And the times know it, because the figures I'm quoting were published IN THE TIMES. It is our duty to push back every time they blow this whistle, to highlight FG's march towards the right to pacify a vocal minority, to point out that it actually won't fool us or win our votes.

It's #nye2026 so nothing for it but couch, cocoa &

Sorry but we literally debunked this like last month when he did this dog whistle. Fintan O'Toole literally did the maths, in the Times no less, that showed that this isn't true. Why are we bothering to publish such an obvious lie when we know it's a lie?

There is no justification for anyone on the left to enter government with FFG. GP can't tackle climate change with parties who intend to INCREASE carbon emissions. Labour can't advocate for workers with parties who allow rampant fake self employment and zero hour contracts. 1/2 #spéirgorm

This exposes the core lie on which the entirety of “gender-critical” transphobia is based. The transphobes’ entire campaign is based on the false claim that they represent cis-women. The number of signatories to this, is way higher the number of signatories to their transphobic WDI “declaration”.

Grrrr none 'raises babies' - you have babies, you raise people! FFS they are babies for a few months, yr or 2 at most after that they are children for a long time then teens then young people and then people. these simpleton tradwife proponents give me the absolute ick

yeah but when are these photos from? i feel like they are from the 80s but i swear I have seen that bulgarian on Capel street last month? and the other lad looks like her plays banjo in a pub band on Francis st?

It’s #winter. The buzzing has stopped - mostly. So what’s happened to all the #bees? Let me explain. Please #repost this thread. Don’t just like/look. It literally takes you a second. Costs you nothing. Bees are in trouble and need you good people to help. Thank you. #share #nature #education 1/14

UK authorities have refused to meet with the activists, some of whom have been on hunger strike for over 50 days.

Today is 2025-12-26, the sun sets at 16:10:58 and the grand auld stretch tonight was 05 mins and 15 secs. #GrandStretch #TheGrandStretchIsBack

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.
