Update on Translations in Dakar - Caitlin Kelly has a piece in the Guardian about it:

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

The Overlooked Gap

“Mr Reynolds said both Irish and Ulster Scots, Ulster British are in "different places" in Northern Ireland.” That would be because “Ulster British” as a minority rights concept does not exist www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

my controversial opinion is that i do actually think it's fine for us to at least talk about updating the process by which candidates get on the presidential ballot. my less controversial opinion is that i do not trust FF/FG to be anywhere near that conversation.

Óráid iomlán Uachtarán úr na hÉireann @catherinegalway.bsky.social - an Ghaeilge, ní mar shiombal nó mar órnáid chúplafoclach, ach mar theanga bheo i lár an aonaigh. Ábhar mór misnigh. #Aras25

What went wrong in the Heather Humphreys campaign?

J.M. Kelly, original author of the keading Irish constitutional law textbook and later Fine Gael Minister and Attorney General, advocating an active presidency in 1966.

FF/FG will listen to the spoiled tally but what they’re going to hear and act on is “Be more racist”

Tuairiscí luatha ag tuar bua mór do Catherine Connolly agus níos mó vótaí millte ná vótaí do Heather Humphreys. Beidh ar an Rialtas aghaidh a thabhairt air sin. Ach buairt orm cén teachtaireacht a gheobhaidh siad ó na vótaí millte. Casadh i dtreo na heite deise? Beidh le feiceáil.

Looking like a resounding victory for Catherine Connolly. A huge moment for the united left in Ireland, for the many young people whose energy and optimism fuelled Connolly’s campaign, and a pretty clear rejection of uninspiring government party candidates who couldn’t offer a vision. #Aras25

We're thrilled to announce the winner and finalists of our #artcompetition. Comhghairdeas libh! Winner: @laoighseach.bsky.social for a piece inspired by "An Cluiche Fichille faoin gCrann Iúir" (The Chess Game beneath the Yew Tree).

Today, we exercise one of the clearest effects of our struggle for independence. The power of the people to choose our Head of State; neither a king nor a Kaiser. Caith do vóta agus ardaigh do ghlór - níl sé i bhfad ó shin nach raibh an ceart seo againn #aras25

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

In Saggart tonight there's a large group of masked men who just want to protect women and children who also happened to be determined to murder a hotel full of women and children

Heather Humphreys has spoken to the media this afternoon - and under repeated questioning, appears to contradict her quotes in the Sunday Independent. She says she never mentioned “Catherine’s name in all of that” when talking about repossessions. Sindo quote highlighted referencing Connolly.

wild election huh? can get why some don't love the choices though don't think many would vote for Gavin even if he was running, maybe a #ProudBlue like Harris would have shaken things up – also sad to not have a real #Republican like Adams to vote for anyway, it'll come down to how the Irish vote

Here's where we are on a soggy day of campaigning. Fine Gael taking a lot of heat for their attack ad.

Justice Minister Jim O'Callaghan has given a staunch defence of the cab-rank rule in the last few minutes, telling reporters it's an "obligation" and "absolutely essential". "I don't think it's correct or fair to criticise lawyers because of the actions of others". @virginmedianews.bsky.social

www.irishtimes.com/politics/202... Young people “do not want greenwashing, do not want LGBT-washing” says @osgurociardha.bsky.social . “They want authenticity, something that has depth, meaning – where the mission, vision and values all align.”

‘It is almost like a tsunami now’: How the Irish language is drawing younger voters to Catherine Connolly

Seán Gallagher, Bertie Ahern agus Enoch Burke ag fógairt a dtacaíochta do Heather Humphreys. Buntáiste mór eile d'fheachtas Chatherine Connolly!

Some interesting letters to the Irish Times this weekend. I think they capture pertinent aspects of voter sentiment.

Baineadh an-gheit asam nuair a chonaic mé é seo seachtain nó dhó ó shin. Ach má bhíonn an t-Oireachtas ceart go leor ainneoin gach bagairt, beidh cúpla ócáid ag tionscadail Gaois ann. >>

Ó thaobh na huachtaránachta de, seans gur leag muid síos caighdeán ró-ard an chéad lá. Ní gá gur bailitheoir béaloideasa a bheadh sa chéad uachtarán eile ach ba deas an rud dá mbeadh Gaeilge aici gan amhras
