Thirty years since the best reaction to losing a referendum was spoken! In 1995 one of No Divorce Campaign leaders Úna Bean Mhic Mhathúna,on leaving the RDS as the 15th amendment to allow divorce was passed,shouted to celebrating pro divorce campaigners,’Go way ye wife swappin' sodomites’!#speirgorm

When Dunnes staff refused to handle S African goods they were denounced by politicians from FF/FG, as well as "business leaders". The same groups blocking the OTB today. They were spat on, beaten by Gardaí and followed by Special Branch. It took 3 years to shame the govt. into acting. Reluctantly.

And so it begins: client with a stamp 4 and severe mental health issues which limit his ability to work, tells me he’s afraid to claim any benefits because of potential impact on his naturalisation application #speirghorm

This is absolutely depraved! No citizenship if you receive social benefit is disgusting, but also if you have debt?! Have a credit card? Need a loan for a car? Lucky enough to qualify for a mortgage? No citizenship for you What if this was the same for Irish abroad? Wankers #IrishPol #Speirgorm

Sad to hear of the death of Margaretta D’Arcy. She was a real one. #speirghorm

i’ve been sort of peripherally aware of enoch burke for a while but it was only seeing this article that i saw how absolutely batshit insane his whole family is, leading me to discover this incredible paragraph on his family’s wikipedia page

Tusla or its historic equivalent should have intervened here a long time ago.

Once again, we are way too relaxed about the fact that "shooting Irish people is good actually" is a mainstream political position on the neighbouring island.

Stop buying this crap.

I've been thinking about how Britain's legacy in Ireland is a civic tradition of state cruelty and Jim O'Callaghan is that tradition writ large. #speirgorm

This is an anti-integration proposal. Longer wait times serve absolutely no other purpose.

Every fucking decision Donohue made as Finance Minister is suspect.

Sure seems like this should be a bigger story than it is. Hundreds of Palestinians found themselves in South Africa. "Al-Majd", the org that flew them, pretends to be dedicated to helping Muslims when in fact it is a shadowy firm run by an Israeli named Tomer Janar Lind archive.is/7n4IQ

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

I know this all looks completely normal to the pol corrs but to the rest of us, it can look like a guy who followed orders, fucked his country but looked after the institutions, and is now being rewarded for his obedience.

An extraordinary interview, really. "We're going to screw the economy, society and the environment and you need to build us the infrastructure to allow us to do that because... well... we've spent all our money on this shit and we don't want to lose it all " www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I do not understand authors, broadcasters, voice artists, YouTubers, ANY creative artists using quick and cheap AI for their cover images and not realising: it will be you next.

God fucking forbid we should have a policy based on respecting human rights rather than trying to be shittier than the next country. This is fucking disgusting

This is the illustration accompanying Robert Pinsky's review of Seamus Heaney's Collected Poems in the New York Times... But who the fuck is it supposed to be?

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Remembering our sister Jennifer Barrett on “World Day of remembrance for road traffic victims”. The car accident happened 49 years ago and we still mourn her loss. We also lost her unborn child that day. PLEASE take care on the roads and always be alert to the unexpected. #speirgorm

RIP Bishop Lucey Park Only green space in city centre is no longer a green space Seriously how did this cost €7million? Its depressing & says Cork says f*ck biodiversity & climate Ironically the one redeeming feature is that the railings & gates are gone to make it thoroughfare

Day One for Catherine Connolly and Michael D Higgins’s (endearing) famously messy desk is no more!

How about speeding things up by chatting to CSO Ireland to get locations for 72,000 (yep!) vacant dwellings announced in September & apply use it or lose it They should also chat with Revenue to understand why only 2300 properties paid the Vacant Homes Tax #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland

Thank you Michael D. Higgins. #speirgorm

Michael D Higgins, with his wife Sabina, has left Áras an Úachtaráin for the final time as president. He was given a guard of honour by members of the Sanctuary Runners, a charity of which he is patron. The President’s term of office ends at midnight. ⁦‪@VirginMediaNews.bsky.social

In praise of... Citylink. I can go Galway to Dublin return for €27, with a park and ride day rate of €12 in the coach station. Driving to Dublin would cost at least €50 diesel, then another €20 for parking, + time lost in Dublin traffic. I'm 2.5 hours on the bus. And usually asleep! #speirgorm

#speirgorm might be interested to see this, as we await President Connolly’s inauguration this week. A vision of what might have been 😬

If someone tries to hurt me in my own home I can use lethal force against them to protect myself in self-defence. If oligarchs persist in making the planet unliveable at what point does lethal force against them become self-defence?

Cartoon: Dick Cheney Dead Dick Cheney dead at the far-too-old age of 84. You might think this is in poor taste but I watched this man kill half a million people in Iraq (2 million people by some estimates) pretty much in real time so I think a little schadenfreude is quite appropriate when a…

Holy crap I missed the great news that one of history's most evil men, Dick Cheney, kicked the bucket yesterday! May he get shot in the face duckhunting in hell forever.
