This is not a trend I'm enjoying. #SpéirGhorm

The best idea in this is one the Greens came up with while in government. And no mention of protecting/incentivising remote working, one of the best and quickest solutions they could do. #SpéirGhorm

Protecting remote working, incentivising companies to adopt/keep it, and a 4 day work week, are all long overdue at this stage. #SpéirGhorm

No. It should instead regulate provider and enforce existing laws around the generation of CSAM and image-based sexual abuse content.

This reads like the windfarm is being decommissioned but the actual story is they're being dismantled so better ones can be installed.

This also applies to government officials and customer service. #SpéirGhorm

The story this week is so important, in my view. It's about the morals of Big Tech and billionaires with riches and power beyond limit - but just far broader than that how far are government and authorities here and around the world willing to let them go. (1/2)

Less than 4 days ago, this same Minister said that child protection and online safety are more important than Irish citizens' human rights. Now he's saying, "Child Sexual Abuse Material what are you going to do, amrite?"

This means that at least three ministers either don't know what the law is, including the media minister, or that they've lied publicly about it to protext X's business.

App stores threatened to remove Tumblr unless it cracked down on NSFW content. X has a feature that let's people create CSA content and this is the response it's getting? All government accounts should suspend X activity and the app should be banned in Ireland. #SpéirGhorm

Talk about taking the piss €2.2m spent on non-Event Centre in Cork €472,729 to project-management consultants AECOM in last year But still to go out to tender when the 1st sod was turned in 2016 😃 #speirgorm

Can confirm, it's a great spot. #SpéirGhorm #Cork #Corcaigh

Well, that answers my question 🤦‍♂️ They've undone pretty much all the road safety measures started by the last government now.

Road deaths are increasing. Do you think that's because pedestrians are becoming less visible or because drivers are becoming more reckless and irresponsible?

Today, I saw a driver overtake a stopped bus and plough through a pedestrian crossing. He beeped three times as he sped though. The beeping was to warn people because, as he had overtaken a bus, he had zero visibility of who was about to step out onto the crossing. But sure, more hi-vis, everyone

Calling the murder of 24 people a "test" of the ceasefire is something that should get a journalist fired.

Finally!

Getting real tired of the amount headlines I read that I think are satire and then turn out to be real. #SpéirGhorm

If you're old enough to pay PAYE, you're old enough to vote

Tried this place last weekend, well worth a visit. #Cork #SpéirGhorm

All four Fine Gael MEPs voted with the far-right: Nina Carberry, Regina Doherty, Seán Kelly, Maria Walsh Independent Ireland MEP Ciaran Mullooly also sided with the far-right The centre-right abandoned talks with the greens, centre-left and liberals on an alternative deal

Some candidates expensed subscriptions for ChatGPT, Zoom and X Premium as part of their election campaign. Another used a tried-and-tested student politics campaign tool by handing out €150 worth of novelty biscuits to passers-by. www.thejournal.ie/investigates...

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Is it possible for any left candidate to get elected without the right attacking the voting system during and after the election?

Every far-right riot and protest that was tolerated, every racist dog whistle from public reps, every bit of hate and misinformation allowed to spread by social media companies, all led to this moment in Drogheda last night where someone felt emboldened enough to try to burn children alive.

*We must listen to the people who scrawled swastikas smeared shit on their ballot papers."

Remember - the Irish government was told years ago when the total was still well under 10,000 how to eradicate homelessness by the man who did so in Finland, and it just ... didn't bother. And since then, the majority of you kept voting for them. Well done, everyone. Well done. 👍

The family-friendly Cork Against Racism carnival will start at 2:30 on Saturday, November 1, on Grand Parade. #Cork #Racism #Ireland

Saturday 13 September: Catherine Connolly at the weekly Cork gathering against genocide. We go again this Saturday at 1pm. #Palestine #Decency

I hope people call out this tactic of calling centre parties/people "left" or "woke" to try and shift the actual left and centre parties to the right. It worked with FF, FG, and SF, who have shifted further right. Thankfully the left parties haven't fallen for it. #SpéirGhorm #Áras25

Exactly this, the completely wrong lessons were learned from the result of the family and care referendum because media and government wildly oversimplified it and handed a win to the right. We can't let that keep happening. #SpéirGhorm #Áras25

I really wish @irelandvotes.bsky.social was active here instead of over on the bad place. I thought they were great. #Áras25

What the hell is this article? Isreal have broken the ceasefire multiple times already.

Seven children, three women and one man from the same family. They were trying to get to their home to see what was left of it when the IDF used a tank to fire a shell at their car. The IDF has killed dozens of civilians since the 'ceasefire'

He should be aware of his own personal safety and take steps to be as safe as possible at all times.

don't follow them don't reply to them don't repost them don't dunk on them don't talk about them especially do not make threats about them or at them and their soft power vanishes

This is really embarrassing.

The Irish Blood Transfusion Service has issued an urgent appeal as national blood supplies fall below 3 days. It says over 12,000 donations are needed in the coming days and weeks to restore stocks. More on #VMNews

Reserves for every blood type are critically low, with only B+ being close to the bare minimum. You can literally save a person's life by donating as soon as you can. giveblood.ie 🩸 #Ireland #Áras25

If only everyone saw this coming...

There is a real story here Niall if you'd care to write about it, someone is leaking Garda vetting information for political gain. Breaching confidentiality and GDPR requirements. Every underage coach, every volunteers data is not secure. Confidence in vetting undermined. That's the story. #Aras25

Well, well, well. Connelly 32 Humphreys 23 Gavin 15 #aras25

The reason I'm concerned about Maria Steen being on the ballot isn't that she will win (she won't). My worry is that if she is nominated, it will mean a month of national airtime for a hate campaign against vulnerable groups, carried by a media too scared of being sued to call it what it is

Depraved cruelty & all due to misinformation, lies, false conspiracy theories. To believe these things means the public are ignoring experts, scientists, doctors & human rights experts. The unnecessary cruelty, especially on trans victims of rape, is devastating.

Endorsed. I live here and people drive down Ballyhooly like it's a link road. *Loads* of evidence showing that slow speeds in urban areas save lives without appreciably impacting travel times. There is zero reason not to act on this.

Experiencing something similar with someone I know except it's from their G*ogle news feed and any advice I give ends up in an argument. The amount of days we go without talking afterwards gets longer each time.
