"Is faoin nGúm, a deir Mac Lochlainn, atá sé an cinneadh a dhéanamh leanacht ar aghaidh leis na leaganacha Gaeilge ach gur mhaith leis féin coinneáil air á n-aistriú." tuairisc.ie/ag-cur-gaeil...

"Ireland’s media has covered the death of Sakila, but in a strangely muted way: its language is often passive [...] as though this horror [... ] was a mysterious accident and not a cruel overpowering." Very important article. Have a read. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Tháinig “fós” ó “beus” na Sean-Ghaeilge. ”Still, thus far, as yet” an chiall a bhí leis. Baineadh feidhm as “beus” leis an bhfocal Laidine “adhuc” a mhíniú. Féach, mar shampla, “In coṁraṁ beus!” in “Scéla Muicce Meic Da Thó”.

The regime quietly ripped $3B in food stamps and Medicaid away from families. So Hawaii's governor just fought back with a genius move: a new 13% tax bracket on millionaires to fully fund the stolen aid. Read how a blue state just outsmarted Trump: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/judge-orde...

This is just an invasion by any other name. In a just world, Israel would face the same treatment as Russia.

Chuir leabharbreac.com pacáiste chugam cúpla mí ó agus tháinig na leabhair gan dua gan mhoill. Tá cónaí orm i Seattle. Go maire tú do sheachtú bliain sóbráilte!

Usually I share some kind of snarky, pithy quote from my column here in the hopes that people will read it and share it or whatever but this week there really isn't one that does that kind of job. It's a column about the cruelty in our midst.

The legend @cmatbaby.bsky.social said a lot more in her acceptance speech than what RTÉ are reporting. (Video posted by Lisa McLoughlin on Instagram - www.instagram.com/reel/DYnTKR3...) #Speirgorm

This (above) is the bust of Erwin Schrödinger in the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. Schrödinger was the first Austrian who was Senior Professor at DIAS. I'll be the second (but not in Theoretical Physics).

“They🇮🇱 forced us to keep our heads down, our knees on the ground, on hard surfaces or in dirty water. They stuffed us into unventilated containers for hours at a time. They literally flooded our sleeping space with seawater in the middle of the night.They physically beat anyone”

We're thinking of Lousie McCormack who worked with us as a student a few years ago, and all the other people who have been kidnapped in international waters by Israel. Wishing for their safe return🙏. #freetheactivists #LimerickPride #Solidarity #EndTheSiege #HumanRights

These photos brings me back to my time serving as the medical director of the DOD training team in Liberia that supported Ebola Treatment Units. The lack of resources (particularly testing & PPE), regional conflict, & delays initial case detection are worrisome. www.reuters.com/pictures/sha...

Jim O'Callaghan FF didn't listen or honour his commitments. Counselling notes of rape survivors can still to be used as evidence for the defence of the rapist. This means victims can't access counselling with confidence or privacy. This is a barrier to help for victims of sexual assault. #speirgorm

On the day that Irish citizens are abused in captivity after being kidnapped by Israel, the Irish government plans to vote against our #VoteToSanctionIsrael bill. Words are not enough, action must be taken in the face of genocide. We have to redouble our pressure to stop Irish complicity.

highlandradio.com/2026/05/14/t... Labhair mé le Greg Hughs ar Highland Radio i gContae Dhún na nGall inniu maidir leis an teip chórasach atá ag tarlú i ngníomhaireachtaí stáit in Éirinn. Is féidir éisteacht leis an agallamh ach an nasc thuas a bhrúigh.

“Tá an córas ag teip ar bhreis & 60,000 dalta a bhfuil díolúine ó staidéar na Gaeilge acu. In ionad córas ionchuimsitheach a chur ar fáil a fhreastalaíonn ar chumas & ar chúinsí pearsanta na ndaltaí sin, tá an córas ag séanadh, ag seachaint & ag teip orthu” www.irishtimes.com/gaeilge/tuar...
