Really enjoyed speaking at the Taste of @dublincityuni.bsky.social event about my @researchireland.ie -funded study of the Catholic Standard newspaper, looking at the 'social evil' of dance halls. Great Q&A session with a super audience which included people who met their partner at a dance hall!

This article by @shamimmalekmian.bsky.social is such a rollercoaster ... By turns positive and depressing. If you're near DCU, go see Hari's exhibition before it closes on Friday

How an Irish Catholic newspaper viewed World War II - and communism. Piece by Dr Daniel Carey @danielmcarey.bsky.social, Postdoctoral Researcher at DCU's School of Communications, for @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social. Read here: launch.dcu.ie/44zQMCD #RTEBrainstorm

How an Irish Catholic newspaper viewed World War II - & communism. A supporter of European dictators, The Standard's main enemy at all times was the Godless Communism of Russia, writes @danielmcarey.bsky.social @dublincityuni.bsky.social @researchireland.ie www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Thanks to @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social for publishing my @researchireland.ie -funded look at how the Catholic newspaper The Standard covered the Second World War, part of my project @dublincityuni.bsky.social School of Communications

Before the talk about #tariffs on the penguins of Heard and McDonald islands, the Irish newspaper The #Standard (2 June 1928) had a story about an 'Isle of Dogs' west of Madagascar

'Stop the drift towards economic chaos - Situation must be reviewed – Tariff war being waged in most unlucky time for all parties involved in it'. The #Irish Catholic newspaper The Standard may have been right when they addressed #tariffs in November 1932.

OHNI is hiring for a highly organised and proactive part time remote office administrator. With thanks to @heritagecouncil.ie for their support in funding the role. Full requirements and application details are available on our website #JobFairy #OralHistory #Ireland

Really enjoyed presenting my research on The Standard newspaper and World War II as part of this conference today @dublincityuni.bsky.social (Thanks to @researchireland.bsky.social for funding my project - more details in pinned post)

The RTE Player is continuously breaking down for me, it's clearly not designed to deal with Ireland being ahead in a Nations League game #BULIRL

'Five arrested after containment operation on N3' It looks like the new Enid Blyton book has gone in an unexpected direction

Last call!

There's still time (until Friday, 7 March) to send us a proposal for the Oral History Network of Ireland annual meeting.
