"When it comes time to produce something vaguely resembling a policy blueprint, Trump steps aside & the right-wing ideologues who surround him take over. His only job is to record a brief video, try to stay awake through a White House event on the subject, & then go back to not talking about it."

Friends in Clare/Limerick, I've been offered a job working between Ennis & Shannon. I'm looking for somewhere to live, I'll be hoping my 15yo can join me over summer, but I could rent a room til then. If anyone has any accommodation leads please give me a shout. Shares appreciated 🙏 #Speirgorm

The race to the bottom is appalling. I’m not giving a single vote or preference in the next election to any party that doesn’t speak out strongly against this.

As an Irishwoman I'm so proud and moved that we as people value hard work, integrity, female resilience, compassion, bravery, and intelligence & that we've positioned those qualities centrally in our nation. Catherine abú. Thar a bheith bródiúil. #spéirgorm #uachtaránnahéireann

Now the Áras campaign is over, we cant afford to forget the Garda vetting story. We still don't have assurances that this information wasn't leaked by An Garda Síochána to harm someone. This is a criminal offence. AGS have form here and must be prevented from returning to those practices #spéirgorm

Complaint emailed about dublin city cllr Philip Sutcliffe's racist, homophobic and transphobic social media post involving his spoiled Presidential ballot. A relatively easy form to fill out, considering how bureaucratic local government can be, it took less than 5 minutes. #Spéirghorm

@izzykamikaze.bsky.social was making this point only the other day: A huge number of men associated with these 'protect our women and kids' riots in the UK have convictions for abuse of women and children. #speirgorm

"TODAY IS THE day this country will elect its 10th Uachtarán na hÉireann. So this is a brass tacks guide on how to vote in today’s presidential election and what you need to know as you go to your polling station." #spéirghorm #Vote www.thejournal.ie/voting-guide...

Where do I vote? If you recieved your polling card, the address of your polling station is on that, underneath your own name & address If you didn't receive your polling card, you can find your polling station using one of the links below - Outside Dublin- www.checktheregister.ie/en-IE/search

It's all just so frustrating and predictable, isn't it? For years people have been warning of the far right rising in Ireland and we've been laughed at and dismissed by the media and the government. In turn, the govt. have not acted, have treated right wing agitators with kid gloves.

My partner and I on why we're so inspired by the @catherinegalway.bsky.social campaign. We truly believe Catherine will make a wonderful president, but more than this we absolutely believe in the movement behind her. We're not just voting for Catherine, we're voting for that movement. #Spéirgorm

My branch colleague has asked that I help him share his endorsement of Catherine Connolly as a disability activist. I'd appreciate you taking a moment of your time to hear his thoughts. GRMA #Spéirgorm

Here’s a thread on Fine Gael and the presidential election #Áras25:

rural pursuits!! I have lived all but 10 yrs of my life in rural ireland- I have never supported bloodsports of any sort #áras25 #aras25 #speirgorm @virginmedianews.bsky.social

“I abhors animal cruelty in cities. But rural animal cruelty, I support.” This is a bad position, yes. But also just a completely incoherent one.

Fine Gael represent everything that’s wrong with society They’ve covertly strengthened the divide with their grubby attributes but mask themselves as representing unity & community A toxic self serving bunch who think they’re a cut above buttermilk Money doesn’t buy you class #aras25 #speirgorm

First time I met Catherine Connolly in person was when she launched a book 👇🏼 I co-edited-from her considered, reflective speech it was obvious she’d read it (nor an easy read)from cover to cover. She stayed on afterwards to celebrate and chat with us - a genuinely lovely, authentic person #speirgorm

Catherine Connolly is such a lovely, genuine person. #SpeirGorm #Aras25 @catherinegalway.bsky.social

Why am I voting for Catherine? She’s an ambassador for an Ireland that would have brought me home sooner. Her election feels like the beginning of a broader movement to build a better Ireland, one worth fighting for, worth canvassing for. It’s a vision that feels like home. Katie Ryan Kilrush
