Dublin Pride was a fantastic show of support for our LGBTQ+ community, a community of activists that our leader and many of our members are so proud to be a part of. #Ireland #Dublin #DublinPride #HappyPride #LGBwiththeT

Great day at #DublinPride with some of my favourite greens! @janetphorner.bsky.social @oisinoconnordublin.bsky.social @hazelchu.bsky.social @feljin.ie

Please listen to Lauren's experience, learn to check your breasts and keep talking about it to make sure others know how to check too. Lauren is so brave for doing this and I'm so proud to know her.

Banning official Pride participation is a political choice, not neutrality. Saying people can attend “personally” still means the institution is only comfortable with LGBTQIA+ visibility when it is unofficial, individual, and quietly contained.

The baptismal font at St Anne's is dated 1629, older than the church itself. It came from the former St Mary's Church and survived the Siege of Cork in 1690. Mary Aikenhead, founder of the Irish Sisters of Charity, was baptised here. Still in use. stanneshandon.ie #StAnnesShandon #CorkCity

My thoughts are with the victims of Jeffery Donaldson, as he has been found guilty today. I know that there are many across Northern Ireland dealing with the legacy of sexual abuse who may be feeling the impact with the verdict. Below are contact details if you need to talk. Love to you all.

UK Met Office have now issued a rare red warning for heat for Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures possibly rising to 40c there.

It took 11.5 years for Elizabeth II to reach her 4th PM. Her heir Charles III will reach the same point in 3 years and 9 months.

Absolutely delighted with this news!!

Today the Electoral College gathers to elect our next Bishop. We pray for the Holy Spirit's clarity, unity, and peace as they discern who is called to shepherd our diocese. "Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10 🙏 Pray with us today.

Great gardening weather this weekend! Happy with the results

A reminder that St Anne's Shandon's 2026 conservation programme depends on more than the grants secured. Every award requires matching parish funds — without that, the works can't proceed. ⠀ Over €180,000 secured. But the parish has to find its share.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

Holy Communion this Sunday at St Anne's Shandon, 10:15am. 2nd Sunday after Trinity. Rev Meghan Farr officiating. All are welcome. 🔗 buff.ly/wArud8g

The fact a trillionaire can even exist is monstrous.

Next Friday, June 19th, the Electoral College gathers for the election of our next Bishop of Cork, Cloyne and Ross. The Shandon Bells have rung through centuries of change, reminding us that while seasons shift, God's faithfulness endures. Join us in prayer this week.

Prayers this Saturday for Rev Alan Howe (Bandon Union) and Rev Jean Taylor (Cobh and Glanmire Union) as they are ordained to the Priesthood at St Fin Barre's Cathedral, 4pm.

This should be the news coming out of Belfast today. The Finucane family have fought for years to get to this point & the inquiry opens with a UK Govt apology that will get lost in today's news. Pay attention to this - the past hasn't passed here, as days of unrest show: www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

St Anne's Shandon has secured over €180,000 in conservation funding for 2026, but every grant requires matching funds from the parish. The work only happens if we can meet our share. ⠀ Bell tower, front steps, windows, accessibility, and the Green Coat School collection. A summer of vital work ahead

We can’t allow horrific and tragic incidents to continue to be used as an excuse by the far right and bad actors to cause violence and destruction in our cities, we’ve seen it in Dublin, we’ve seen it in Liverpool, and we’ve seen it across the past three years in Belfast.

Families burned out of their homes. Again. Last night’s violence in Belfast was a racist pogrom, the third summer in a row. Green Party NI stands with every family targeted last night. Our full statement 👇

Pastoral Pints next Tuesday — 16th June, 7:30pm at Henchy's, St Luke's Cross. Relaxed conversation, no agenda, everyone welcome. buff.ly/3WIqHWU

Love the theme for the first @corkcommunitypride.bsky.social #CorkCommunityPride

June at St Anne's Shandon. Sunday worship every week at 10:15am with Rev Meghan Farr. On the 21st, we mark Sanctuary Sunday, reaffirming our welcome for all, including refugees and those seeking sanctuary.

1st Sunday After Trinity | 7th June, 10:15 am Holy Communion at St Anne's Shandon, led by Rev Meghan Farr. All are welcome.

As we await the Electoral College on June 19th, a reflection: Choosing a bishop takes prayer, patience, and trust in God's timing. From St Anne's hillside, we've witnessed countless transitions. Each reminds us: the Church is held together by the One who called us. 📷️ Kate O'Brien

New #Poem: It's A Record Wrote this on Tuesday in near 30-degree Cork heat with mud still on my socks. It's May. Something was very off. Today it's overcast again — make of that what you will. #IrishPoetry #ClimateChange

Less than one hour between these two stories.

Feast of the Holy Trinity | Saturday 30th May, 7 pm Join us for Holy Communion at St Anne's Shandon. Note: service is on Saturday this week due to the Cork City Marathon on Sunday 31st. All are welcome.

Wearing long pants after 4 days in shorts, it's an odd feeling.

🔵 We can’t wait to see the streets of Cork filled with blue as over 450 Sanctuary Runners take part across all three races. 💙 👕 Come find us at the expo in Cork City Hall this Friday and Saturday – We’ll be there from 12–7pm on Friday and 11–6pm on Saturday! #CorkMarathon #Solidarity #RunAsOne

New #Poem: On the streets and in our bedrooms This was prompted by a message from ‪@pantibliss.bsky.social‬ from a few months ago, but was reshared due to developments in the UK last week on Trans Rights. It prompted this poem. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

It's weather we've all been waiting for so make sure to go enjoy it! But this isn't just good weather, the record breaking heat is the effects of climate change and this Gov is failing the public in tackling the issue. #sunshine #ireland #climateaction #climatechange

The climate and biodiversity crises remain the greatest threat to our society... but most politicians seem to think they are no longer important. Not all problems are environmental problems - but they all present a choice between a short-term fix and a sustainable solution.

The idea of Vote Left, Transfer Left was pretty strongly adhered to in Dublin Central as the count went on. What happened was that the voters didn’t consider SF to be left. The SF candidates big transfer moments came from Steenson and Hutch.

Social Democrats, the Greens and Labour got almost 40 percent of the vote in Dublin Central. Two racist gowls got just over 20 percent. Guess who you'll hear more about tomorrow? Guess whose votes the other dumbasses will go chasing? Give me strength.

Three tidbits: - Almost exactly 50% of FF vote in Dublin Central transferred to FG - FF's John Stephens won more first pref votes in the 2024 local elections than in the (much bigger) 2026 by-election - Of all the parties that contested the two races, the one with the most votes was… Fine Gael

#LGBTQ+ youth in Ireland experience higher levels of discrimination, new study finds 76% of people aged 17 experienced some type of discrimination at least multiple times per year. This figure increases for LGBTQ+ young people and other minority groups. #Spéirgorm gcn.ie/lgbtq-youth-...

I believe England can do this.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Fingal County Council has refused drone delivery company Manna permission to continue flying drones from its base in Coolmine. “In the absence of sufficient evidence, the aerial delivery hub by virtue of its operation results in serious noise pollution,” the council found.
