I went to an LGBTI Disability group today. The submission for the Cost of Disability consultation was read aloud and a group photo was taken. I've been hearing all day of traffic disruption and carers not being able to get to people. There were people missing from the submission launch. #SpéirGhorm

Dublin City Centre has been shut down for going on 36hrs now and there are groups of Gardai standing around just looking at the machinery parked across the streets cos apparently people can do anything they want whenever they want now as long as they pretend they represent farmers. It's bizarre

some people you can recruit, other people you have to simply defeat. politics makes more sense when you accept this

It must really boil these fuckers' piss that the only people they aren't inconveniencing are cyclists and pedestrians.

Oh the small capitalists must be interferring with bigboy capitalist interests now because I don't think pissing off workers and gen public is enough to bring out Martin to take stance against them.

There is a clear political attempt (looking at no Peadar Toibín's in particular..) to use this energy crisis to attack the very solutions we need: making homes warmer, public transport more accessible and agriculture more sustainable. We deserve real solutions - not opportunistic scapegoating.

Join Lelia’s Walk for Peace anywhere along the route for any length of time. keepirelandneutral.ie/event/walk-w...

Never seen an antiiwar, water or anti-austerity protest be left to do this sort of thing and cause this much disruption before.

When unions and left groups organised cost of living marches, farmers and small buisness owners were nowhere to be seen. They wouldn't be capable of considering solidarity for a fleeting second. Ireland is there for them and them only. Everyone elses role is to work their poverty wages.

On way to a funeral in da big shmoke, seems according to media another day of disruption, and looks bad, can the good folks of dublin please tell me how is it getting around the city today esp with public transport? #spéirghorm

To summarise for the hard of thinking pitched up on O'Connell St, it's not the fault of immigrants or people seeking asylum, it's your fault for voting FFG.

Yeah I didnt Inherit land nor was rich enough to purchase land before havin opinions on major aspects of our country and its economy. Something about having not being a landowner wielded against you in conversations esp as a disabled person who can't even dream of renting feels wildly out of touch.

Has anyone in the Irish government actually addressed that Trump threatened to exterminate a civilisation yet? #spéirgorm

When "biopsychosocial" researchers say people with ME/CFS and "persistent physical symptoms" etc "recover" from their interventions, it seems like something of a bait-and-switch: virology.ws/2026/04/08/t...

I need to get up early to travel a funeral, but do I also need to stay up to 2am Irish time to find out if trump has brought on the apocalypse...?

I gambled I could dry the washing between April showers today, and the April showers won.

A farce. Dean’s spot on in his analysis. #Spéirghorm

#spéirghorm the rogue state knows no bounds.

Am I the only one who thinks thats theres far more of a negative response by irish media and gardai when it comes to traffic disruptions when its being done by groups like environmental , social justice protesters etc versus when its famers and hgv drivers #spéirghorm

This, but journalism. The foundations of all success is failure - repeated, frustrated, sometimes mystical failure that is only ever resolved by experimentation and the application of previous experience. The greatest risk from AI is that it prevents future generations from learning how to think.

The mentality of prioritising optics and managing perceptions has led to ff/fg existing in an extreme bubble, where they now genuinely do not understand that people and society do not experience or benefit from a promise of a doing thing in the same way they do delivery of a real material thing.

If you cant do the thing without polluting, dont do the thing until you can do without pollution. The judge complains they are acting like theirs no consequences , can they not put a higher fine on them so? They should honestly be boycotted for this.

m.independent.ie/regionals/ke... Dingle gin, Dingle whiskey, both making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Who are we running football for? Players, or people in suits?

Last night I got to hear about the restorative justice campaign which is lgbtdisregard.ie This seeks a scheme to exonerate those who were convicted under our anti gay laws which were removed in 1993. But many of those people left the country, but still live with this on their record.

If your in about #sligo theres a new bakery up top high street near the cherry blossom, an afghani lad who makes the bread and turkish lady who makes nice treats, the pistachio cake is daycent and its was my first intro to baklava, and ive had like 4 times from there, baklava is class! #spéirghorm

Aw lads, I can't. Like wtf!

Since hes popular on Irish bsky today aka Getting generational trauma dumped on by every Irish person around lol It seems like an apt time to recommend his book! #spéirghorm

Im literally only after starting a reread of Elite Capture and then to pop on to irish bsky to see this was pure gas. RIP this mans replies. 😆

Absolutely not. Nip this in the bud. Our Gardaí do not need to take steps towards the kind of impunity seen in the states. It's beyond dangerous. Their job is to protect the public above all else. If their role is to uphold the law they need to be beholden to it #spéirgorm

My brain likes to randomly remind me of random embarrassing moments. Today its the time I was working retail in a health/beauty shop and a group of girls came over asked me where we kept the Mach Ten. And tbh I hadnt heard of that but I was like oh Mach like the mens razors ...

After bein ignored by real estate agent about their signage obstructing disabled people/the pavement generally multiple times, ive now ran over cos I saw people looking at the house. It was a diff REA guy there but he said hed talk to them about it. Lets see if this works.

Israel is going to compulsorily execute Palestinians after 3 years of intense genocide in Gaza that's now spreading to other countries. Meanwhile National Concert Hall is hosting an artwashing fundraiser for an Israeli charity organised by Alan Shatter. www.hotpress.com/culture/nati... #speirgorm

And remember - while the Irish government insists on supporting and facilitating this far-right Israeli government in its persecution and genocide of the Palestinian people, the vast majority of Irish people do not. The time has come to end this muderous farce. Pass the OTB, or get out.

Micheál Martin lied to journalists when he said armed US soldiers weren't landing at Shannon Airport. Martin said there are “no weapons” passing through the airport – but his colleague Darragh O’Brien authorised US troops carrying guns to land there. www.ontheditch.com/ag-insint-br...

When you have M.E and someone tries to equivocate JKRs blatant transphobia so now your gonna ask how she also just happened to do every harmful ableist trope about chronic illnesses that most people don't know about cos you know nobodys spoon fed them an excuse on that one *cracks knuckles*

According to a consortium of human rights groups in Iran, nearly 1,500 Iranian civilians, including at least 217 children, have been killed in U.S. and Israeli strikes.

“I asked ChatGPT”- ok well I asked the mycelium and it said to plant more trees and to tell you to return to the forest

Get pumped galway west, the chance to having your basic needs go unmet by someone young and energetic versus older and lethargic. It must be hard not to get excited by the prospect of someone ensuring the existential despair and hopelessness under ff/fg is done with a youthful dynamic flair.

Your reminder that @finegael.bsky.social MEPs voted for this and the far right celebrated. May the dead haunt every moment of their dreams, in this life and the next.

This could do Brexit-levels of damage to political life. We would be giving (justifiably) angry, people a chance to stick it to "the establishment" in the short term, while gutting our capacity to grow the legislature in line with population growth in the long run. We'll see collapse #spéirgorm

Ive been following the supporter posts, like yeve been following the players, and I feel for ye, hard luck lads, ye really supported yer hearts out tonight. Dont give up dreaming, its precious exactly cos the moments are rare! #spéirghorm

This is an excellent result and I'm so grateful to everyone (Including many of you here) who made a submission. This makes a difference. If nothing else you've laid bare the government's lies. They cannot claim to be acting in the public interest when 98% of us said NO. #Spéirgorm

Im way too tired and over exerted to watch the match but I shall live vicariously through everyones posts about it #spéirghorm

Michael Martin keeps doin posts describin himself talking to important people on important issues hes doin nothin about and pairing it with completely unrelated completely posed pics of him looking serious at a desk. They arent pics of the thing hes talking about! Hes like just modelling? Its weird.

Brilliant! We need as many bodies as possible fighting this fight.

Getting progressively fucking sick of the excuses #SpeirGorm #Palestine

Tropical Granola, Tropical Juice, Tropical Sunshine Detergent (!), Tropical Yoghurt, Tropical Tea, Tropical Cup Cakes (!)... Going into a supermarket in Honduras and they have "Temperate Granola" and everything is pear and rhubarb flavoured

Spain made history by meeting 100% of national electricity demand with renewable energy for nine hours, driven by strong wind output, abundant solar generation, and flexible grid management.
