Painfully dull move, and additionally baffling considering just how well set processes meat companies are to capitalise on veggie alternatives. Like Keogh's black veggie pudding 🤤 and jeesus wept I couldn't believe what veggies accepted for sausages before Denny's and Clon stepped in with theirs.

The rest of us shouldn't have to deal with the consequences of the Farage-ing of an unsuccessful political candidate who gets clicks... especially just because journalists would rather tell this story than explain the triple lock.

I also have minimal respect for a former Minister for Arts, Heritage and the GAELTACHT who didn't work on fluency while in office but is now promised to learn Irish if elected President. Nice try Heather.

Heather, is that you?

Genuinely think showing up to run for president without being prepared to campaign, debate and answer questions in Irish is like showing up in trackies. It's a lack of respect for the role. FF and FG could have selected candidates that met this bare minimum.

HH commits to become fluent in Irish, just like she did 8 years ago as Minister for the Gaeltacht. #RTETWIP #Áras25 #IrishPol

If the President’s role is to embody the spirit of the nation, maybe a rogue landlord is exactly the person we need.

Have we enough of a critical mass of spéirgormacha for this to be a meme format?

It would be a real shame if the presidency was subjected to the neglect and decay that has happened to the roles of Minister for the Gaeltacht and Minister for Defence in the post bailout years. The idea that any old prick can be put there, or that it can be moonlit, says a lot about value.

Someone's pet cat with the native wild red squirrel it just killed. Most cat owners have no idea of, or don't want to know, how much wildlife is slaughtered annually by domestic or feral cats. But it runs to 10s, possibly 100s, of BILLIONS of animals per year, and is a serious driver of extinction.

This is very worrying - they fold up the houses and ship them to Latvia - only increasingly the shortage of homes.

Week 100

Imagine how high we could get this number if we didn’t keep scaring landlords out of the market 😭

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Its f*cking bad joke these are left rot in midst of housing emergency They should be wonderful apartment homes Instead Cork city council half heartedly take on what they call "poor owners" while children are literally locked up in emergency accommodation Criminal #DerelictIreland

Conservationists are warning of an increase in recent weeks of the nesting sites of endangered breeding waders, such as the curlew, being destroyed by dogs.

Got round to listening to this absolutely fucking great episode. Clear, informed, intelligent and humane commentary on the "hot button issue" of immigration on Ireland.

Oh so it turns out the guards can physically remove protesters when they feel like it, huh

By the way, it is important to note that neither of these people are not being allowed speak. Peadar has never once shut up in his life

I live in a world at a time where it's utterly plausible that Michael Stipe has seen Neon Genesis Evangelion. ❤️

A sociable sunfish who was reportedly missing its human audience during a temporary closure of its aquarium has been comforted in an unorthodox way. Aquarium staff in Japan attached cardboard human friends to the tank, making the lonely fish happy again. 🧪🐟 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Now's an important time to brush up on online etiquette. Sit down, listen up. When you see a post ask whether you're the intended audience. If the answer is yes, then you're well within your rights to engage with the post and the poster however you see fit. They have opened the door for you.

If anybody who works in and around the Northern Ireland Executive wants to leak me the medical advice behind the puberty blocker ban, or details about how they never even saw it/anything, you can contact me anon and be assured your identity will always be protected.

Ireland's systems have progressed so much slower than the compassion of our people but it's great to have hope. We'll have to continue to bash our heads against loud discompassionate wealth but it's so great to see that there's a payoff. Let's hold tightly to and celbrate sources of hope.

Funnily enough, Irish private Health Insurance provider Laya actually did have a slogan "It's Good to Live"

Got a song from Oklahoma stuck in my head today.

So, so proud of all our Fermoy International Choir has achieved in the last 5 years. If anybody doubts the power of local communities to champion national action, positivity, decency, community integration and the power of people - show them this message #OneTownOneVoice #Solidarity

Assholes. Imagine welding and emergency exit shut & walking away! It's criminal endangerment & if you or I did it, we'd be arrested immediately. Somehow these guys get a free pass...

This, and what happened to the Fás building are crimes. Amenities literally stolen from the city.

Guardian journalists have asked not to share articles from their website during the strike so don't cross the picket and share this far and wide instead.

Who's looking for solidarity??

I had every box filled on my ballot - printed off a notice of poll a day before and started from the bottom - and these guys got last preference after the absolutely heinous and before the cranks, because at least the cranks announced themselves made the effort.

Irish people who didn't vote yesterday: Why didn't you vote? #ge24

I've been regularly feeding for a while now and I don't so much have crow friends as I do have 50-60 intelligent creatures that see me as a food vendor. I did get a stripped rib bone as a present once though.

Repeatedly guaranteeing there'll be no election in 2024 before doing a total u-turn and still not yet naming the date = not playing politics Offering up time to enact a bill tabled in 2018 = playing politics

www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm... Potentially dangerous that the various fascist groups in Ireland are putting aside their differences and creating an alliance like this before the general election.

Are you shocked? I'm not. It's disgusting. The OTB is just the very minimum - we should be cutting all ties with the genocidal state. #EnactAnois

"We came here to settle the entire Gaza Strip, from north to south, not just part of it". This is the settlers' demand, echoed by Israeli cabinet ministers calling for Palestinians to be offered the "opportunity" to emigrate, but not "forced". What do you call annihilation of all living conditions?

He looks like a Pants cartoon
