Delighted to be in the audience for Ardal O'Hanlon. Managed to bag the very last ticket for the fab #mermaidtheatre in #Bray. Very exciting. #speirgorm

the constant eliding of facts in the reporting of why Enoch Burke got suspended is particularly egregious when the High Court decision that is being covered lays them out in detail right at the start www.thejournal.ie/enoch-burke-...

"Israel's occupation of Gaza and the West Bank is illegal under international law, as stated by an advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice in July 2024." #sperigorm www.rte.ie/news/middle-...

Kidnapped in international waters by a rogue state that is committing genocide, ethnic cleansing and illegal invasions and land grabs of its neighbours. But still @MichealMartinTD will not sanction them. Instead he and his government are aiding their crimes. #SpéirGorm

Excellent stuff. "Ahern is a relic of a sleazy old Fianna Fáil way of doing things. One reason people despise it so much is the suspicion that when those lads gathered in their boozy cabals nothing good was being said about anyone on the outside. Last week provided definitive proof."

Hantavirus is found in Argentina, which was has a pop of 46m+ ppl. In 2025, 77 ppl were found to have Hantavirus & 23 died. 63% were ppl who worked with rodents. About one third were engaged with wild or rural activities. Hantavirus has been present since 1993, at least. Flu is seriously more deadly

"Ahern has also both defended his comments as unpolished and not intended for public consumption, while also arguing that the backlash against his comments signals a threat to free speech. So which is it? Did he speak in error, or did he simply speak too freely?"

The Silk Road Café at Dublin Castle was preparing to celebrate its 25th anniversary when it was informed that it would have to close for the six months of Ireland’s EU presidency. jrnl.ie/7037559

Just for the record, I wholeheartedly approve of this proposal. #speirgorm www.irishexaminer.com/news/munster...

Love these giant clouds and incredibly mad squalls they bring. #speirgorm or at least demi-gorm.

Ya hear that #speirgorm

Delighted for webby award winner @effinbirds.com in the 'social animals' category. We need a summer migration to Europe.

I see the online nativists are losing it over a black Irish woman winning the Dublin Rose sash. Racism is so irrational, as well as shameful. At every chance you get, remind ethnicists what our Constitution, as mandated by the people of this country of ours, defines as an Irish national.

Imagine being the kind of prick that votes reform. That votes for Farage. Oh yeah, Brexit. Ya dopey fuckers.

“Pro-Life”, but also Pro Fascism which is not just anti choice, but anti life - especially LGBT, women & immigrant lives. Remind them of this whenever they attempt any sort of moral high ground. #speirgorm

This is such an unintentionally revealing piece by Hodges (on, I believe, DAY 2,719 of trying to destroy Angela Rayner for having a curry). He seeks hilariously to preempt accusations that he objects to Rayner for being a woman or working class or someone who occasionally has fun, by listing 1/

Such a great time of year. #speirgorm #appletrees

If Bluesky is acting a little wonky for you, it's likely a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack that has been intermittently underway for some time now. #speirgorm

And if you look towards the US, you can see what happens when a country's leader is all five.

Well now, seems Vance not quite the vote puller he had promised Orban. Good news from #Hungary #speirgorm RTE news : Magyar says Orban has conceded defeat in Hungary vote www.rte.ie/news/europe/...

The mother is the bad influence here. Their father, or rather the father of some of the Blighe kids was a trade unionist and a really good man by all accounts before his passing.

Your periodic reminder that Eddie Hobbs lost his marbles and all his media gigs after his entire business empire went down the jacks along with millions of other people's money. Like Liz Truss he blames all his self made problems on the big bad "deep state" #SpeirGorm

Fabulous photo Irish 1916 rebels Margaret Skinnider (front middle) & Nora Connolly (front right) in New York, 1917,when they were on the Republican women’s tour. Would love to know who the 3rd woman is - just putting it out there into the universe more in hope than expectation of a name! #spéirghorm

I totally get how many people are distressed, alarmed and seriously at risk due to fuel price increases. However, the leaders of this protest are a fucking disgrace. They are causing untold harm to people and to the economy, without having done even the most basic analysis of the problem.

Sorry, what now? You want the carbon tax abolished and VAT and excise cut, but it transpires that you don’t actually pay your taxes. Right so.

Fuel protest leader James Geoghegan has animal cruelty convictions and Revenue judgments www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/20...

Who's one of the main organisers of the Dublin fuel protest? ( If you want to protest about fuel price rises, do it outside the US and Israeli embassies) It's James Geoghegan, a racist, climate change denying bigot.

Here are some publicly available posts from one of the key organisers, James Geoghegan.

I really miss @rteradio1.bsky.social Drivetime from 6 to 7. And because I switch to something else I miss Arena @rickoshea.bsky.social ☹️ #spéirgorm

A reminder that doom-scrolling negatively affects us, so if the Irish fuel protests, Iran or the continued slaughter in Lebanon/Gaza are getting you down, log off for a little while and read a book or listen to some music. These issues will still be here when you get back. Mind yourself. #speirgorm

This is quite amusing!
