Why do we need Dan in the Dáil? Because nobody cares about Dublin Central like he does. On May 22, vote Daniel Ennis number 1.

This doesn't happen with every project BAM develops. This is the exception, and the government and department need to diagnose what's gone wrong.

I know the #Limerick and #LimerickCity tags work here, but is there any space for #LimerickEvents I wonder?

Calling all #Simpsons fans in #LimerickCity and #Limerick in general! We're running a Simpsons #quiz in 13/14 Jerry Flannery's on Thursday May 14th! Details and tickets at the link! We've sold out three of our last four quizzes, so book ahead to secure a seat! www.eventbrite.com/e/simpsons-t...

Really don't appreciate the word #NIMBY being thrown at a working class #Limerick community whose only green space was being taken away, rather than the dozens of middle class areas who object to new #housing near them before it ever reaches the papers.

The social media response to the arson attack on the Islamic Cultural Centre in #Limerick is appalling. The big platforms are rotten to the core with vile comments, conspiracy theories and zero moderation. I know it's not new but "😂" reacts under a post about an arson attack is just another level.

Suspect you're facing an illegal eviction? Landlord taking advantage of March 1st's tenancy laws for more profit? We can help. We're constantly archiving property ads online. We may have evidence to back you up. Reach out. We'll win together. #speirgorm #derelictireland

I'm hearing BlueSky has become more and more active for Irish local and political news. Any more recommendations for #Limerick accounts? Especially #rural ones? #Ireland #SpeirGorm

Dave McSavage says grants for stand-up comics could destroy the industry: "Get funny or starve". The guy who graduated Blackrock College, whose father was a Fianna Fáil Minister, whose brother was a Junior Minister... I'm sure he was under plenty risk of starvation. #irishcomedy #irishpolitics

#Mountshannon #Clare #Speirgorm

dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

me continuing to post on Bluesky despite the alleged death of Bluesky

Very sorry to hear that former SocDems councillor June Murphy has passed away. When we started in West Cork, she was incredibly supportive and encouraging. Always with the kind word. A very decent human being. RIP. #speirgorm

I've been up to something. If #SpeirGorm can lend a hand , even just by resharing, that'd be fantastic. We've been super busy, but like most small businesses these days, we need a bit of a helping hand to get things moving. All donations are welcome www.indiegogo.com/projects/rev...

To people posting angrily on posts about #diversity or cultural celebrations in #Ireland: What do you need? Why are you so unhappy? What would change that? Because we both know getting rid of the people who don't look like you won't actually fix what's wrong with you. #SpeirGorm #irishpolitics

Peadar Toibin's #Aontú #ArdFheis speech has the air of "panel show comedian who can't hold their own as a stand up". On #rtept, and during #GE24, he can get in his pithy lines when he has someone to respond to and attack. But on his own he's a bit directionless. #Ireland #SpeirGorm #irishpolitics

What #Starmer and #Labour are doing is more evil than what the #Tories did. Labour's 2024 win was a swing away from the Tories. Starmer's actions since has been a slap in the face. At least regressive Tory policies reflected regressive rhetoric winning a mandate. #politics #ukpolitics #SpeirGorm

Impressive that #KeirStarmer won a majority in Commons because of how abjectly shit the #Tories were, and has spent the last 10 months dragging #Labour to the right on every piece of culture war bullshit he can find. What's the point of Labour if they're anti-worker, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT?

I did get some very good advice once from my uncle Simon, which was about getting work as a musician but I've applied to all my arts endeavours - be the nicest, most fun and memorable person to work with and people will both remember and want to work with you again.

This. If you have actual expertise / experience worth listening to, point to that, not just the fact that you've been around a while.

Getting in touch with Dublin City Council to tell them the bin on the corner was only used 14 times today so they need to get rid of it

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

A lesson from the last decade of Western #politics -- of #Dems running to the right and losing, of #Labour running to the right and falling in the polls, of FF/FG teaming up to keep SF out -- is that they're not moving right to win. They're moving right, because they'd rather lose than go left.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Robert De Niro is expressing his love and support for his daughter Airyn De Niro, after she recently shared publicly for the first time that she is transgender. cnn.it/3EY1msu

*me reading Busy at Maths* "Wow they need to start teaching this stuff in schools!"

I understand why #clickbait headlines get engagement for non-stories. But is there data that shows that burying the story does the same? Will "Iconic 00s Boyband Coming to #Limerick" get more clicks than "Blue to Perform in Limerick"? I feel I'd be more likely to read the second one? #SpeirGorm

This Carney victory is going to launch a thousand think pieces and I WANT ALL OF THEM

FG suggest that older people should "downsize" and move out of their homes to free up larger houses for young families. But would never suggest landlords just not price gouge young families for every cent they can get. #SpeirGorm #Dáil #FGFF #IrishPolitics

Women’s Social Hours Thursday April 24th | 11am-1pm & 6pm-8pm This month we are meeting on Thursday April 24th, at our offices on 28 John Street, Limerick City, V94 K5N5, and we are doing vision boards!

Is it just me, or have the options for #EasterEggs in #Ireland really gone downhill over the last few years? Obviously #Easter weekend is a bad time to be buying, but even in March the range is just a lot smaller. #SpeirGorm #LimerickCity #Limerick

Just ran straight from the Bernie / AOC rally (actually had to miss some of Bernie!) to my 18 month oncology check up annnnnd STILL CANCER FREE!!

If you're AirBnB-ing an entire whole home / apartment / house instead of making it available for long term #rental, you're probably a prick. Maybe you've a good reason, or extenuating circumstances that prevent you from letting it long term. Sure. But most don't. #HousingCrisis #SpeirGorm

Can someone please nominate Frances Black so we can stop wasting time with an ever expanding list of people who are "not ruling it out"? #spéirgorm

Imagine being worth £800m+, but being so broken inside that you spend your life bullying minorities. There's a yawning chasm in #JKRowling where there should be pride at her success as a writer -- and she'll fill that by harassing #LGBT+ groups until the day she dies. It's disgusting. #SpeirGorm

A little insight into youth work in Ireland: the best youth worker I've ever worked with is soon taking up a non-youth work job, because the youth work pay is so bad, & the job is now flooded with endless admin due to reporting demands from funders. This is a frequent occurrence. A constant one.

Monthly notification on how few women have represented Limerick in the Dáil (0 in County, 2 in City). I was going to do the amount of years women have sat in the Dáil compared to men but the men quickly reached into the hundreds and I got sad.

Any #SpeirGorm regulars at Jeff Wayne's #WarOfTheWorlds at the #3arena #Dublin? #livemusic

i genuinely believe that public figures could get elon to solve the elon problem with just a few days of concerted effort. we need people to bully for the greater good!

Pat Leahy doing what he does best. Another article that acknowledges what the Government is doing is wrong, but never suggests they should stop doing it. For some reason the Opposition should just let it go.

"It’s like if the national agenda was being set by 98FM’s Dublin Talks." This week's Surrealing on... Conor McGregor, Garron Noone, Michael Lowry, Micheál Martin and the United States.

It is impossible to be alive and be non-political. You can only be aware of your political decisions or you can be oblivious to them. But ignorance of an effect does not erase it. One of our current problems is that zombie political ideas shamble on, obscuring clear sight of reality.

A #tech question: Why do companies insist on having an #app when they're unable to actually run an app? Ticketmaster, clothes shops, supermarkets, credit unions; I wouldn't mind having a million apps if they weren't constantly broken 🫠 If you wanna sell my data, do it efficiently. #SpeirGorm

A lot of people who expressly think "It's okay to discuss immigration, even if we do it clumsily" seem to really mean "We should go out of our way to discuss immigration as clumsily as possible"

Great attendance at today's @ipsc.bsky.social march in #Dublin. Delighted to attend with some folks from #Limerick.

Every Irish person who has complained to me about Irish politics has immediately followed it up with “of course I know it’s nothing compared with what you’re dealing with…”

Did you know that since 2022 LimerickCouncil have had a mobile sensory room at all parades in Limerick City? This is a viewing area and quieter space for autistic and neurodivergent people to comfortably watch the St.Patrick’s Day parade ☘️

Marching bands from across Ireland, Europe and the United States annually make their way to Limerick City for what is the only international band parade and championship of its kind in Ireland www.rte.ie/news/regiona...
