Kids who are born, here & live here, should at the age of 17 be offered Irish Citizenship for free! #spéirgorm

Maria Steen, she of the Holy Handbag, argues in the Times that we should introduce a form of marriage with "no possibility of divorce." Maybe she is too young to remember that we already tried this. It ended very badly for some - that's why we introduced divorce. #FeckOffIona

Refugees applying for Irish citizenship have been facing an unexpected hurdle. The Department of Justice seems to have quietly changed how people are supposed to calculate whether they’ve been here for enough years to be eligible.

This is the number of patients who need to be admitted to #UHL and have been left on trolleys today. No privacy. No dignity. No adequate treatment. This is not healthcare. This is not good enough. #SpeirGorm

The Taoiseach will look pathetic if he brings a bowl of Shamrock to the White House while there are Irish people being held in ICE detention centres. There should be no Shamrock Ceremony this year, at least not at the White House and not involving US Republicans #spéirghorm

Mc Sweeney was in the UK Labour Party and close to Mandleson long enough to have an idea of his corruption. Using Mandleson to vet candidates just showed he didn't care, and apparently neither does Starmer m.independent.ie/regionals/co...

CW: transphobia, apologies Open, blatant and shameless botting/sock accounts - TERFery is being astroturfed into Irish online spaces like comments sections. Dead internet, bad actors, the new colonisers. #spéirghorm #ireland

Wow.. a first for me #Spéirghorm ⚠️ Park Closure Notice – St Anne’s Park ⚠️ Due to a number of large fallen trees in St Anne’s Park today, the park is closed for the remainder of the day. 🚫 Please do not enter the park until our staff have completed further inspections and made the area safe....

Ireland needs to choose it's table. If you're hovering between tables, you're not at either. You're on the menu at both. Ireland is too small not to take sides and as an EU member the table is with Europe and Canada, not linking the boots of the tyranical manbaby Drumpf #spéirghorm

Well, I suppose now we know how much it costs for cartoon villains to join Spectre sorry Drump's board of extorsion, sorry peace

Un cargo d'aide humanitaire pour Gaza envoyé par la France depuis le port du Havre ce dimanche ➡️ https://l.ici.fr/9DH

A certain Irish writer who made some extremely misogynist and transphobic statements took part in Le Goûte des Autres literary Festival in Le Havre this weekend. It seems that the disturbing things he has said about cis and trans women hasn't been reported here in France. #spéirghorm

To report specific instances to AGS, we would have to be on the platform exposing ourselves to abuse. The platform itself has been widely reported to be facilitating individuals breaking the law and this, the *platform*, should be referred to the Gardaí for the DPP to decide whether to prosecute.

As a reminder don't get tricked into finding the images to report them on X/Grok. Viewing them is still illegal. The Gardaí can do that part. #spéirghorm

*Bethelehem-born Jesus Christ*, the poor lad, gets pulled into every bs ass-covering excuse for removing people’s rights. Nah. I don’t think so. 🤦🏾‍♀️ www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20... #spéirghorm #Lammy

Where did the reporter on RTÉ Six One news hear that pronunciation of Météo France? AI? #speirghorm

Some white patches on the ground could be a dusting of #sneachta, but there's definitely #sioc here in Kiltoom. The driveway looks like it could turn into an ice rink #spéirghorm

2026 can only be an improvement on 2025, can’t it? Anyhow Athbhliain faoi mhaise daoibh! #spéirghorm

Sorry but we literally debunked this like last month when he did this dog whistle. Fintan O'Toole literally did the maths, in the Times no less, that showed that this isn't true. Why are we bothering to publish such an obvious lie when we know it's a lie?

I hate the saying "Don't speak ill of the dead". The gushing in the media over far right racist tnuc that was Brigitte Bardot because she was once outwardly beautiful is frankly disgusting.

Watching a show in which Maya Rudolf plays a feckless billionaire and I was amused to see her handbag, which #SpeirGorm will recognise as the bag that helped sink a feckless presidential campaign

For shame Ireland. "International far-right organisations have taken inspiration from extremist violence against migrants in Ireland, according to an organisation that monitors global far-right movements." #Ireland #SpéirGhorm

The core of a substantial iceberg of foreign interference - from (alleged!) Russian assets in the Seanad, to the dark money funding the far-right, to that army of bots in every YouTube comments section even marginally related to the Burkes. #spéirghorm #ireland

Cloudy ot not, using modern technology to allow us to continue to witness something the people who lived on our island built in connection with the seasons and the universe thousands of years ago is pretty cool, actually

According to RSF, around 220 journalists were killed by the IDF in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and September 2025. Yet the EBU (headed by a former journalist) and the executives of most of its member broadcasters has no problem with Israel taking part in the Eurovision. BTW well done RTÉ #spéirghorm

Every day, 137 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members internationally - one death every 10 minutes, according to the UN, who released their annual femicide report today. Today is International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women #speirgorm jrnl.ie/6884469

Is there a gender breakdown for that poll in Spain regarding support for Franco mentioned on @france24? I would be very worried if a high proportion of women believed Franco's regime was overall good.

"Ireland's weather service said its scientists briefed the country’s prime minister last year and a parliamentary committee last month." Last year, but not a peep out of Leo or Simon (pre & post Apr 2024 Taoisigh) about the #climate risks of early AMOC collapse. #Speirgorm #IrishPol

I wonder if any of the entitled wannabe presidential candidates will run in either of the by-elections. #spéirghorm

For anyone outside Ireland, the inauguration is on RTÉ News, not RTÉ One (where it's geoblocked) #áras25 #spéirghorm

Been thinking about this, and if you don't want to learn, or re-learn Irish, just ... don't? When President Connolly speaks in Irish, she is addressing those who understand, not chiding those who don't, and what difference does it make to you what language people speak to each other? #SpeirGorm

The fact Simon Harris, Micheál Martin and the rest of them are obsessed with pandering to the bigots who spoilt their ballots rather than the much larger number who voted for Connolly tells you everything you need to know about them as politicians and as people. #SpeirGorm #SpéirGhorm

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the Irish that people leaving their home countries for better prospects elsewhere are worse than landlords. #speirgorm

Do we have any info on the age demographic of the people who voted? #aras25 #Speirgorm

I need every journalist to point out that even if steen got the finger out and got on the ballot (she didn't), and even if all the spoiled votes would have gone to her (they wouldn't), she would have still come last

1. It was a higher turnout for this presidential election than the 2018 presidential election. 2. The number of spoiled votes only equates to 5.91% of the actual electorate. 3. No Irish presidential candidate has ever received as many first preference votes as Catherine Connolly got. #SpeirGorm

The far-right whimpers about "democratic deficit", then pulls shit like this. #spéirghorm #ireland #áras25

If you haven’t, get out there and vote #connolly4president #aras25 #speirgorm

One way to guarantee a good turnout #árus25 ##spéirghorm

The best :) #Speirgorm

Does anyone on #spéirghorm know if there's an #áras25 exit poll on #thelatelateshow tomorrow night?
