I continue to be surprised at how under the radar this is going, considering that it’s more consequential than a lot of the things that #spéirghorm gets worked up about. There’ll be major handwringing on here if we get a “majority of parents support Church patronage of primary schools” result.

We were told the interchange would cost €100 million and solve the congestion and tailbacks. It cost €225 million, and it didn't. The people who were 100% wrong about this – and blew 9 figures of public money on it – have a new suggestion. More lanes. www.independent.ie/regionals/co...

If the landlord that lived in our garage and pretended he didn't and used to secretly sleep in one of the girls beds when she was away and used go through our bins and once fished out a pregnancy test amd brought it up ever runs for president I will be ready

Okay, this is one for any writers or illustrators in Ireland doing children's events. In case you haven't already heard, it looks like Garda Vetting rules are changing, so that you will have to appear in person to show your ID documents for any organization that looks for vetting. 1/5 #SpeirGorm

Unfortunate to see no progress on negotiations for equal access to pension and entitlements for secretaries and caretakers. Schools are feeling the impact and we want our colleagues inside where they belong instead of quite literally out in the cold. #speirgorm #forsa

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

I have officially become an Old Man Who Writes To Newspapers. It's time this SUV problem was addressed #spéirgorm

This is an INSANE decision by the E.U. “By signing up to mutual recognition of vehicle standards with the U.S., the E.U. has waved the white flag on road safety. This is not a technical detail – it is a political choice that puts trade convenience ahead of saving lives.” This will kill people.

Oooffff, apparently Hodge Figgis are on the side of Big Genocide, including firing a staff member for his stance on supporting Palestine. Shop in your LOCAL (non-UK operated) bookshops, people. www.instagram.com/p/DNwUzXpWAt...

“Myths and realities of Irish reunification” The debate on #IrishUnity has reached #Germany.

Support our secretaries and caretakers as they move to take necessary strike action to access basic entitlements such as bereavement leave #speirgorm #edchatie

Right now, in Ireland, the government are refusing to sign the Occupied Territories Bill because they want to appease this regime. These people are unappeasable and will interpret any compromise as weakness. Sign the #OTB #SpeirGorm

The owner of the soil & bed of the lough is the Earl of Shaftesbury. His estate has given dredging licenses in one area of the lough, makes money from the lough yet there is no mention of this custodian playing a role in any of the remedying😱 #spéirghorm #LoughNeagh www.bbc.com/news/uk-nort...

There's a virtual tour of Áras an Uachtaráin and they've included the dogs barking when you hover over them 😂😂😂 #spéirghorm #speirgorm

Eamon Ryan: Depicting the Metro as primarily an airport service is an example of Michael O’Leary’s myopic thinking

Every single time Ireland is developing new public Transport infrastructure, the same group of Billionaires & Politicians come out of the woodwork & call it a “White Elephant” You’re not dismissed because your rich You’re dismissed because you’re wrong www.irishtimes.com/opinion/lett...

“It is easier to view famine as a kind of free-floating, atmospheric misfortune, as a regrettable byproduct of war, as opposed to what, in this case, it actually is: an act of war in itself” #spéirghorm #Gaza #Genocide

What an article. I take my hat off to you, Maxim Kelly! Factual and brilliant! #speirgorm

This should be front page news in Ireland. But no. Crickets. #SpeirGhorm #IrishPolitics

And yet the Irish Government wants to introduce LNG here? Makes no sense. #SpeirGorm #LNGFree @nhna.bsky.social @foeireland.bsky.social

Using Ireland's reliance on foreign direct investment, Israeli government officials and a US legal organisation coordinated to pressure the Irish government to drop the Occupied Territories Bill – according to hacked meeting notes. www.ontheditch.com/israeli-offi...

"it will not accept submissions from whistleblowers..... ...be conducted behind closed doors. It will not have the power to compel witnesses to attend. The transcripts of any interviews will not be made available, and no blame will be apportioned." So what's the point? #SpeirGorm #Ireland

"Fugitive war criminal Netanyahu again blames Hamas for his barbaric eagerness to continue with his plan to exterminate the entire population of Gaza through ethnic cleansing, including mass starvation and indiscriminate bombing of civilians." Try something like that @news.rte.ie #speirgorm

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-...

Diplomats: We dedicated our professional lives to upholding and promoting core European values and international law, building the reputation of the European Union and defending the interests of its peoples. Those interests and that reputation are now in serious jeopardy as a result of EU inaction.

“Helsinki has not recorded a single traffic fatality in the past 12 months, city and police officials confirmed this week.” City engineer credits lower speed limits and smart design. I agree. #Helsinki #VisionZero

UNRWA has enough food to feed the entire population of Gaza for more than 3 months. It is stockpiled just outside Gaza. The US, EU and British could insist that it enters under threat of sanction but prefer to watch Palestinians being lured toward food and medicine and then slaughtered for sport.

Tuesday: Danny Healy-Rae TD speaks passionately in favour of the SF motion on Endometriosis appealing to the Minister for Health, "not to oppose this" - the following day he votes with the government to oppose the motion. Wednesday: He votes against it with the Government. #HowIrelandWorks

Simon is... the only person talking about this? "Our regulatory body simply shouted out the window to the street below that it wants to see some square circles delivered in a fortnight" is about the size of it. There'll be some frantic articles in the media on Monday when this launches. #speirgorm
