Simon Harris on the radio trying to muddy the waters around the Occupied Territories Bill. The one side only ceasefire in Gaza is irrelevant. Israel is still robbing Palestinian land and installing settlers against International Law. They shouldn't be allowed to profit from it. #SpéirGorm #BDS

Every single person involved in this hate campaign and everyone who has supported them - Anas Sarwar, for example - needs to be run out of public life the way they've run Dr Upton out the NHS. Being trans isn't a risk factor for people around you; this obsessive hate absolutely is.

That's funny, I'm going to be part of an experiment where I delete my Discord account

Fascists can't be reformed.

Anyone spot a cyclist (me) knocked off her bike along the canal at drimnagh today by someone who drove away? If you got a reg I’d love the help to report them! @ibike.ie

I'm delivering a free webinar on how to apply for arts funding tonight at 7 if anyone wants to join, it's for the Creative Places Kerry grants, but the info is applicable to all funds. #Speirgorm #irishartist #artist Link to join here: tinyurl.com/wba2jz8c

Having pulled someone experiencing a mental health crisis from the Corrib in Galway after they left A&E, I completely agree that A&E (particularly in Galway) is not the correct environment for people presenting with urgent mental health needs. We need better, specific facilities for these people.

What a ghoulish scumbag

Please join DFI, IWA & Access for All on 28 Feb at 1pm at the Garden of Remembrance, Dublin. Disabled people are the most forgotten community in Ireland. Many of us are struggling with the rising costs of living with a disability. We don’t deserve this added stress caused by government inaction.

irish government to require all pedestrians and cyclists to dress like this so that drivers will maybe look at them

No plans to slow down drivers. No plans to prevent red-light runners. Few plans to segregate people driving from people cycling or scooting. No plans to enforce existing legislation for drivers. No plans to limit driver's speed in areas using geofenced regions. Too much focus on the wrong issues.

The ring road cannot address the gridlock and traffic faced in Galway City. There will still be thousands of cars entering and exciting Galway each day. There will still be bottlenecks and too many cars. The concept of induced demand seems to be completely missing from this development.

Celebrated my birthday early with a weekend away in Schull, Co. Cork. Got lucky with the weather! Laura knows how to pick presents, that's for sure.

If you're ever struggling with imposter syndrome, read a few IT opinion pieces. You'll bounce right back. This entire piece boils down to "School's are busy and stressful places for everyone, but I don't know if we should just be decent to all students and call them what they wish to be called."

Dozens of people I know, as well as those engaging with CATU, have already received notices for March/April time, coinciding with the changes in regulation. This change will only benefit landlords, especially in the long run. We need a sincere housing plan delivered now.

This is the kind of thing our political leaders continue to endorse by way of their lack of action. #Grok #spéirgorm

is it a good sign that 2 people you've invited to be on your "Board of Peace" can't join you in Switzerland because they would be arrested for war crimes?

Without adequate affordable housing available, I expect we'll see a lot more of these homes and subsequent planning issues over the next few years People are desperate for permanent homes to live their lives, to have their families, and plan for the future. m.independent.ie/irish-news/c...

The social hysteria and moral panic over trans people is completely overblown but it is alarming to see it influencing our judges and courts. Using someone's preferred name and/or pronouns, is such a basic, easy thing to do that costs nothing. Anyone unwilling to do so should be embarrassed

AI erodes one's ability to critically think for themselves. Even using it for basic tasks is counterproductive. We should think creatively by ourselves and teach children to do the same. Generative AI is not needed in schools.

The shame the government should feel about this versus what they will actually experience are worlds apart. There is no reason anyone should die on the streets, unhoused, in this country. All our measures of progress and growth are meaningless to me when not everyone has a roof over their heads.

Is it any wonder road deaths continue to plague Ireland when this is the attitude TDs take to road safety?

Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people are grooming them to be Nazis.

A good news story for a change!

Irish media reporting on this as if they haven't spent the past 18+ months encouraging rabid suspicion and hatred of immigrants coming to Ireland

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

Simon Harris to continue posting on the child sexual abuse image generating site but shaking his head so people know he disagrees

Minister Canney is asleep at the wheel (pardon the pun).

Met Éireann says Ireland’s average temperature in December was 7.2C, which was a degree warmer than the long-term average #ClimateEmergency

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

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?

Brian McFadden vs ISIS

The Irish State could support people having families if they had affordable places to live! Why would people even consider raising children when they barely have enough space for themselves, never mind children and all that brings?

Make no mistake, this is fascist rhetoric from the Justice Minister. I would argue that 2/3 of adults under 34 stuck living in their family homes is far worse for "social cohesion", than the immigrants who come here seeking a better, safer life.

A lot of people are getting calls from 0044 numbers these days. I can't advise strongly enough, DO NOT ANSWER CALLS FROM THESE NUMBERS: those are UK numbers. You are at a very real risk of talking to an English person

Currently living with my in-laws to save money for a house. We've been here 3 years, and have around another year to go. There are 10 people living here currently, 5 in the main house and 5 in mobile homes. This video is so disconnected from the reality of what young people are facing.

Genuinely one of the most infantalising videos I've seen in a long time. If people would like to be independent, surely being able to afford somewhere to live and raise a family is better than doing chores around the family house into your 30s...

Presumably there will be rioting in Edenderry tonight by the "protect women and children" brigade? #speirghorm

Dylan can hold a note! #LateLateToyShow

Tomorrow 24 humanitarian volunteers face 20 years in prison in a Greek court for saving lives at sea. One, Seán Binder, grew up in my local town, Castlegregory, Kerry. #SolidarityIsNotACrime #StandWithSeán #DropTheCharges #FreeHumanitarians #NotMyEurope #speirgorm www.politico.eu/article/sean...

Disgusting attack by fascists in Dublin. I can't imagine the fear and pain this has caused the young men and their families. Unfortunately, we are going to see more of these racist attacks unless politicians start pushing back on this rhetoric more and Gardaí take action.

They were 8 and 11 years old

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.

Imagine caring more about money than seeing your family and grandchildren. Weirdos. And at that, the reported number of wealthy that up and leave is staggeringly low. Seems like a fair trade!

The Irish State is dumping €450 million of wind energy a year, despite 29% of households suffering fuel poverty, because 'there's no market'. If you're struggling to get your head around that, it's called capitalism. share.google/k9gHug8xaazA...

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

This is the kind of policy we should be copying the UK on, not more racist immigration policies.

And you'd be right there with them, right Michael?
